IWS Infant Warmer System-Infant radiant warmers provide infrared heat, in a controlled manner, to neonates who are unable to thermoregulate based on their own physiology or necessitate external heat to smoothen the transition from the uterus to the external environment. They fulfill the same purpose of neonatal incubators but they may be preferred over incubators when total access to the patient is needed or desirable (e.g., surgical procedures, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, frequent resuscitation, etc.). Most infant radiant warmers can be used in two operating modes: 1. Manual: The clinician sets the appropriate heater output for maintaining the desired patient temperature. The heater output is initially selected based on the clinician s training and experience and then is adjusted based on the patients needs and clinical status. 2. Servo: The clinician sets the desired patient temperature. A skin temperature probe senses the patient temperature and feeds this information to the controller of the infant radiant warmer. The controller then adjusts the heater output to maintain the patient temperature at the set value. These adjustments to the heater output are made in such a way to gradually change the patient s temperature while minimizing overshooting and patient stress. Infant radiant warmers have alarms to alert clinicians when certain patient or equipment conditions occur, such as a malfunction, or an excessive departure of the patient s temperature from the set value. Infant radiant warmers may incorporate other features, such as phototherapy, observation light, tilting of the bed, and data output to remote monitors or nurse call systems

ETEST Benzyl Penicillin PG256 FOAM packaging, Product Name: Etest Benzylpenicillin PG 0.016-256 (high). ETEST is a quantitative technique for determining the antimicrobial susceptibility of Gram-negative and Gram-positive aerobic bacteria such as Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus and Enterococcus species and fastidious bacteria, such as anaerobes, N. gonorrhoeae, S. pneumoniae, Streptococcus and Haemophilus species. The system comprises a predefined antibiotic gradient which is used to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), in ¿g/mL, of different antimicrobial agents against microorganisms as tested on agar media using overnight incubation. Current Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) methods are based either on quantitative dilution techniques or qualitative diffusion procedures. Dilution methods are based on two-fold serial dilutions of antibiotics in broth or agar media. These methods generate the MIC value i.e. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of a given antibiotic in ¿g/mL that will inhibit the growth of a particular bacterium under defined experimental conditions

C2 CryoBalloon Ablation System - Controller Cap. C2 CryoBalloon Controller; Cryosurgical Unit, Cryogenic Surgical Device The affected product is the Controller Cap component only, which is provided to the customer already assembled onto the Controller. Model number: FG-1012 Product Usage: The C2 CryoBalloon Ablation System is intended for use as a cryosurgical tool in the field of general surgery, specifically for endoscopic applications, to include ablation of Barrett s Esophagus with dysplasia. It is a cryosurgical system with a nitrous oxide cooled balloon that is compatible with a commercially available endoscope with a minimum working channel inner diameter (ID) of 3.7 mm and length of 100 cm. The C2 CryoBalloon System is a system comprised of a Catheter (sterile), Controller (non-sterile), and Cartridge (non-sterile). The Device is used to ablate unwanted tissue by application of extreme cold. The balloon at the distal end of the Catheter comes in contact with tissue and is inflated with nitrous oxide. Tissue is visualized through the inflated balloon, and the treatment site is selected by adjusting the endoscope and Controller position. The nitrous oxide spray cools the balloon to ablate the unwanted tissue, and the nitrous oxide exhausts through the Controller.
