Opto Circuits (India) Ltd. – Product Description 1) Pulse Oximeters A pulse oximeter is a patient monitoring system which provides continuous confirmation that the delivery of oxygen to the tissues is adequate. It is used to measure the level of oxygen saturation in the blood, the pulse rate . These are used in operation theatres as well as intensive care units. These have now been enhanced with added features like connectivity to the computer, nurse call back facility & features like battery back up, which puts it in the league of International brands. There are 2 types of Oximeters 1) Hand-held Pulse Oximeter 2) Desk Top Pulse Oximeter 2) Multiparameter Monitors: These systems are used for monitoring the patient’s vital signs such as ECG, blood pressure, temperature, oxygen level saturations and heart rate. Multi Parameter Monitors are used in intensive care units & specialty clinics. These are now enhanced with added features like connectivity to the network & battery back up.

3) Pulse Oximeter Sensors The Pulse Oximeter sensors are used with Pulse Oximeters and with Multi parameter monitors. These products are the interface between the patient & the Monitoring systems. The sensor types depend on the different applications & usage. Broadly there are two types: Disposable & Reusable sensors. a) Disposable sensors are one time use sensors. These are hygienic, avoid allergies etc. and are gaining importance since healthcare awareness is on a rise. Since it is used on one patient & only once, patients are more comfortable with these sensors. b) Reusable sensors as the name suggests can be reused. Currently it is being used widely but due to hygiene awareness the shift is more towards disposable sensors 4) Digital Thermometer: The conventional mercury based thermometers are banned in US and many other countries. This is mainly because the exposure to mercury is hazardous & unsafe to use. Whereas Digital thermometers being very safe to use comes with a microprocessor chip and thermistor for enabling quick and accurate measurement of body temperature. 5) Cholesterol Monitors: Cholesterol monitor is a portable battery operated instrument, which uses an invasive method of measuring the total cholesterol in the blood. It displays the cholesterol level through an LCD panel. The unit also undertakes health risk analysis based on the cholesterol value to indicate heart attack & cardiac arrest risk for various ages. This health risk analysis is US FDA approved. The instrument has a facility to store the cholesterol value along with the date & time of the measurement in the personalized health card (smart card).

6) Fluid Warmers: The Thermal Angel is an in-line, battery- powered disposable, lightweight and completely portable blood and IV fluid infusion warming device, capable of intravenous application and irrigation warming. 7) Coronary Stent Technology: A stent is an artificial tube inserted into the body to clear an artery which is blocked. A blocked artery could lead to heart problems and coronary stents help to clear the artery blocked by plaque thus ensuring regular blood flow to and from heart. The stent is placed in the artery using a rubber tube called catheter which has a balloon attached to its tip. Source : Company Website
