Do you know the standards of Medical equipment Quality assurance development?

The correlation between the international standards and the US Quality System Regulation is close enough for manufacturers to be able to implement a quality system that will satisfy both. 118 The place of quality systems The new regulation came into force on 1 June 1997 with the exception of the design control requirements of Section 820.30, which came into force on 1 June 1998. The year’s grace was to allow manufacturers time to implement these new requirements. The inclusion of design control requirements is likely to strengthen the FDA’s desire to have all applications for PMA or 510(k) approval (see Chapter 4) supported by recent, satisfactory GMP inspections (Kahan 1992). 
FDA guidance on the new Regulation was published by Trautman (1997); design control guidance was issued on the internet in March 1997 (http://www.fda.gov), and draft process control guidance was made available on the internet during 1998 but withdrawn during 1999. A new guidance manual on the inspection of manufacturers was published in February 2001 (USA 01b). 
 
Developments in Japan. 
In December 1994 the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare published a revised Quality Assurance Standard for Medical equipments (Japan 94b) to replace the 1987 version. This Standard had been heavily amended from a 1993 draft in response to comments from the Global Harmonization Task Force to bring it very close to the international standards ISO 9001 and (the then draft) ISO 13485. A comparison by Maehara (1995) showed the content of the new Standard to be aligned paragraph-by-paragraph with the international standards. The new Standard was brought into effect on 1 January 1995. 
Developments in Canada 
In May 1998 the Canadian Department of Health published new Medical Devices Regulations (Canada 98). These Regulations are discussed in more detail in Chapter 5 but the relevant feature is the requirement for applications for medical device(blood analyzer for sale) registration to include an attestation by an acceptable organization that the manufacturing organization has a quality system which complies with ISO 13488 in the case of Class II devices and with ISO 13485 in the case of Class III and Class IV devices. The Regulations, with some exceptions, came into effect on 1 July 1998. One of the exceptions is the requirement for compliance with quality systems which came into effect on 1 August 2000.

ONE WAY TO FIND USED MEDICAL DEVICES AND EQUIPMENT

A lot of commonly used medical equipments is available for sale if you know where to find it. Buying used or refurbished equipment can be a cost-effective way to get equipment to work with. This equipment comes on the market by way of liquidation auctions and sale of equipment from facilities that are upgrading their hardware. 
Purchasing directly from a manufacturer is sometimes difficult, especially if you do not have a doctor or medical facility purchasing for you. The other issue with buying from manufacturers is their understandable reluctance to sell their equipment into the industry or to a potential competitor. Some equipment companies tightly control their distribution, will not send you a catalog, or even let you browse their online catalog without you having to fill out a qualifying lead form. 
If you have to have a particular piece of equipment that is not available on the used equipment market, it helps to have connections with a doctor or facility within that specialty to get it for you. Companies regularly purchase competitor’s equipment through friendly surrogates. Figure 7.7 Example of using an existing product (a rigid metal cannula) as a platform for an improved version. (Illustration by T. Kucklick. Courtesy of Cannuflow, Inc.) Copyright 2006 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC 178 The cheap medical equipment R&D Handbook Most used equipment dealers are good sources of capital and durable equipment such as RF generators, endoscopy units, arthroscopy units, and common surgical hardware like forceps and retractors. However, surgical disposables such as catheters, laparoscopic staplers, introducers, and so on, can be harder to find. The reason for this is that these items are packaged sterile and have a finite shelf life. Once the packaging expires, the device has little resale value to the reseller. This can be an advantage when looking for devices for parts. You may be able to buy expired disposables for a reasonable cost since you want to dissect them anyway. The disadvantage is that you are limited to whatever stock is on hand, when and if they have it. 
The way resellers sometimes get their equipment is by purchasing a liquidation lot from a hospital that is closing or upgrading equipment. The reseller will buy a palette load or container load at auction, and some of these disposables can be part of the lot. Ask your reseller if it ever gets disposables like this bundled in a liquidation lot. Since the reseller may have a limited market for these, you may be able to get a good deal on them. An advantage to going through a reseller is that most devices are resold without many regulatory controls. You also do not need to deal with the sales and marketing departments of the manufacturer, who will want to know all about who you are before selling to you. If you need a specific piece of equipment, especially a newer item, be prepared to use your network to get it and pay list price for it. Another way to get equipment is from a doctor who has excess equipment or is upgrading. This is why it helps to have a physician on your board of advisors who is practicing in the specialty in which you are designing equipment. At least one member of your advisory board should be adept at getting for you whatever devices you need to study to do your product development.

Protable ultrasound in clinical Medical

Ultrasound therapy devices (Fig. 1 designed to produce clinically significant tissue heating operate at 0.75–3.0MHz, the lower frequencies mechanical waves being more penetrative and affecting deeper tissues than the higher frequency waves.The ultrasound (US) is produced by the reverse piezoelectric effect when a high frequency alternating current is applied to a ceramic crystal causing it to vibrate at the same frequency. The crystal is located inside an applicator fitted with a metal cap into which these vibrations pass.

Figure 1.Portable ultrasound therapy equipment. The ultrasound transducer is housed in the head of the applicator shown on the right.
A coupling medium such as either water or a gel with a high water content transmits the ultrasonic vibration into the tissues. US is transmitted readily by water and by tissue fluids. As US is more readily absorbed by protein than by fat, it can be used to heat muscle and collagenous tissue selectively without heating subcutaneous fat to a clinically significant level. Heating occurs where the US energy is absorbed. If the US enters the tissue at an angle other than 908, it is refracted; the transducer should therefore be held perpendicular to the surface being treated.
Absorption, and therefore heating, is greatest at higher frequencies. As a consequence, it is generally accepted that higher frequency US (e.g., 3 MHz) penetrates less deeply into the body than lower frequency US (e.g., 1 MHz). However, in some circumstances, 3MHz may heat deeper tissues than originally theorized, when for example, it is transmitted into muscle over a bony prominence via a gel pad coated on both sides with an ultrasound transmitting gel (43).
In this clinical investigation, it was found that 3MHz ultrasound applied over the lateral malleolus of the ankle heated the musculotendinous tissue deep to the peroneal groove 0.5 cm deeper than suggested by others.(portable ultrasound scanner)This interesting but surprising observation may be an artifact due to variations in coupling of the US transducers to the skin. The authors point out that air trapped at the gel/pad interfaces might result not only in nonuniform heating but also in hot spots on the US transducer faceplate and possibly the skin.

Why Filipino newborn babies dies without ventilator in chapel-hospital?

We all know there were Filipino newborn babies dies without ventilator in Tacloban electricity outage.
According to the World Health Organisation, newborn asphyxia is one of the leading causes of newborn deaths in developing countries, accounting for about 20 per cent of the infant mortality rate. In the United States, it is the 10th leading cause of infant mortality.
functions in the neonatal intensive care unit are very important. The patient/nurse ratio is small, and the nursing staff must be familiar with the equipment as well as special procedures and precautions in caring for these special patients.
Electronic monitoring of the infant plays an important role in neonatal intensive care. Not only does it allow the clinical caregivers to follow vital signs, such as pulse rate, temperature, blood pressure, and respiration rate, but other critical variables in the care of these special patients can be followed as well. These include blood gas tensions, acid–base balance, bilirubin, and glucose concentrations. Monitoring is especially important in fluid therapy for it can provide precise data for fluid control of these very small patients. Electronic monitoring, however, goes beyond just monitoring the patient and its physiologic functions. A good neonatal intensive care unit also monitors the functioning of life-support systems. These include incubators for maintaining an appropriate thermal environment, ventilators for providing respiratory support, and phototherapy units for the control of bilirubin.

Infants between 500 and 1,000 g can be successfully cared for and nurtured until they are old enough and grow enough to go home with their parents. These very small babies, however, can easily run into problems if they receive either too much or too little fluid. Since feeding of these very small infants can be done by intravenous hyperalimentation, the possibility of a fluid overload is always present since it takes a certain amount of fluid to transport the nutritional requirements of the infant. Another example of the fragility of these very small patients is the simple problem of attaching devices to the infant’s skin. In some infants, the skin is very sensitive and can easily become irritated by the attachment procedure or substance.

Exploring Nuclear Medicine

Radiation dose is affected by all the emanations of a radionuclide,not just the desirable ones,thus constricting the choice of nuclide further.There can be no alpha radiation used in diagnosis; the use of materials with primary beta radiation should be avoided because the beta radiation confers a radiation dose without adding to the information being gained. 
 
Detectors must be made from materials that exhibit some detectable change when ionizing radiation is absorbed and that are of a high enough atomic number and density to make possible stopping large percentages of those gamma rays emanating (high sensitivity).In addition,because the primary gamma rays are not the only rays emanating from the source — a human body and therefore a distributed source accompanied by an absorber — there must be energy discrimination in the instrument to prevent the formation of an image of the scattered radiation (cheap medical equipment).To achieve pulse size proportional to energy,and therefore to achieve identification of the energy and source of the energy,the detector must be a proportional detector.This means that Geiger-Muller detection,operating in an all-or-none fashion,is not acceptable. 
 
Gaseous detectors are not practical because their density is not great enough.Liquid detectors (in which any component is liquid) are not practical because the liquid can spill when the detector is positioned; this problem can be compensated for if absolutely necessary,but it is better to consider it from the outset.Another property of a good detector is its ability to detect large numbers of gamma rays per time unit.With detection capabilities to separate 100,000 counts per second or a dead time of 2 msec,the system is still only detecting perhaps 1,000 counts per square centimeter per second over a 10 × 10 cm area.The precision of the information is governed by Poisson statistics,so the imprecision in information collected Nuclear Medicine.

Evolution of the Modern Health Care System

 
The changes that have occurred within medical science originated in the rapid developments that took place in the applied sciences (chemistry,physics,engineering,microbiology,physiology,pharmacology,etc.) at the turn of the century.This process of development was characterized by intense interdisciplinary cross-fertilization,which provided an environment in which medical research was able to take giant strides in developing techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of disease.For example,in 1903,Willem Einthoven,a Dutch physiologist,devised the first electrocardiograph to measure the electrical activity of the heart.In applying discoveries in the physical sciences to the analysis of the biologic process,he initiated a new age in both cardiovascular medicine and electrical measurement techniques. 
New discoveries in medical sciences followed one another like intermediates in a chain reaction.However,the most significant innovation for clinical medicine was the development of x-rays.These "new kinds of rays,"as their discoverer W.K.Roentgen described them in 1895,opened the "inner man" to medical inspection.Initially,x-rays were used to diagnose bone fractures and dislocations,and in the process,x-ray machine(medical equipments) became commonplace in most urban hospitals.Separate departments of radiology were established,and their influence spread to other departments throughout the hospital.By the 1930s,x-ray visualization of practically all organ systems of the body had been made possible through the use of barium salts and a wide variety of radiopaque materials. 
X-ray technology gave physicians a powerful tool that,for the first time,permitted accurate diagnosis of a wide variety of diseases and injuries.Moreover,since x ray machines for sale were too cumbersome and expensive for local doctors and clinics,they had to be placed in health care centers or hospitals.Once there,x-ray technology essentially triggered the transformation of the hospital from a passive receptacle for the sick to an active curative institution for all members of society.
