The latest generation of compact defibrillators

The latest generation of compact defibrillators is the ideal defibrillators for rapid, reliable treatment in cardiac emergencies. The colour coded 3-step operating sequence, fail-safe two-hand defibrillation, visual and audible control signals, automatic internal safety discharging if the defibrillation function is interrupted and sophisticated service diagnostics guarantee exceptional reliability. Can be mains or battery operated for complete flexibility, wherever you are.

Modern defibrillators are the technically improved version of the former defibrillators. Essential in cardiology practices and for ergometric measuring, these units is designed to cope perfectly with any emergency situation and ensures safe, reliable defibrillation for babies right through to adults.

Extra functions such as e.g. synchronous defibrillation (Cardio-version) or the option of using different defibrillation electrodes(adhesive electrodes, internal defibrillation electrodes or handheld paddles) allow almost limitless use. Ideal for the stress test labs, in the operating theatre, the electro-physiological laboratory, on intensive care or cardiac wards, or anywhere else where a patient is being monitored.

On any ward

Accessories include vehicle mounting system with integrated 12 Volt or 110 to 240 V power supply, stand-alone battery charging and maintenance unit, carry case, and a full range of defibrillation electrodes.

No experiments - this fundamental principle applies to a full range of accessories for all conceivable uses. For it is known very well that the strengths of a product range are often judged by its accessories.

Apart from contact spoons for internal defibrillation and various electrodes for external defibrillation, a separate fast battery charging and servicing unit is also available. For monitoring the SpO level you have a choice of a range of sensors for newborns right through to adults. For pre-hospital use we offer a vehicle mounting unit which securely holds the defibrillator in place should the car overturn, a special 12-Volt connection facility, as well as a rugged, roomy carrying bag.

Fetal Monitors

Fetal monitoring is defined as watching the baby’s heart rate for indicators of stress during labour and birth. There are different types of fetal monitors. There is the electronic fetal monitor, which is an ultrasound device used during labour or during certain testing (non – stress tests) to record the baby’s heart rate and the mother’s contractions. It can be used intermittently or continuously.

There is the internal fetal monitor, which is an internal monitor with an electrode attached to the baby’s head to record heart tones, and a pressure catheter to record contractions. It is used during labour and birth and is only used continuously. This type of monitoring actually screws in to the baby’s head and this type of monitoring has been known to cause vaginal infections.

There is the fetoscope, which is a type of stethoscope used to listen to the baby’s heartbeats. And there is the doppler, which is a hand held ultrasound device that transmits the sounds of the baby’s heart rate through a speaker. Using an advanced circuit and probe design it provides unmatched fetal heartbeat detection. The doppler uses broad beam technology and a pre-angled probe allowing for greater ease in locating the heartbeat with optimal clarity. The unit is lightweight, easy to handle, extremely durable. The 2MHz probe can pick up the fetal heartbeat as early as 12-14 weeks and is successful all the way through pregnancy.
