Siemens DCA Vantage 2000 (HbA1c) machine - US$5000.00

The Siemens/ Bayer DCA 2000+ Analyzer is a point-of-care diabetes management platform that performs both hemoglobin A1c and microalbumin / creatinine tests in minutes. The Siemens/ Bayer DCA 2000+ Analyzer allows health care professionals to make immediate diabetes management adjustments. Quantitative measurement of HBA1c in blood allows effective preventative treatment to reduce the risk of retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy in patients with diabetes. The system also measures low concentrations of albumin, creatinine and albumin/creatinine ratio in urine. The method permits decentralized testing using random urine samples, enabling early detection of complications associated with renal disease.

Hyperbaric Chamber – Topical Wound Oxygen (TWO2) - US$24,000.00

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is breathing 100% oxygen while under increased atmospheric pressure.

From a safety point of view I recommend you wear an outer layer that’s light coloured and wear something reflective to remain visible to all. Running in the rain normally means poor visibility which can increase the chances of an accident so stay safe.

When a patient is given 100% oxygen under pressure, hemoglobin is saturated, but the blood can be hyperoxygenated by dissolving oxygen within the plasma. The patient can be administered systemic oxygen via 2 basic chambers: Type A, multiplace; and Type B, monoplace. Both types can be used for routine wound care, treatment of most dive injuries, and treatment of patients who are ventilated or in critical care.

Topical oxygen, or Topox, is administered through a small chamber that is placed over an extremity and pressurized with oxygen. The patient does not breathe the oxygen, nor is the remainder of the body pressurized. Therefore, the patient cannot benefit from most of the positive effects of HBOT, which are systemic or occur at a level deeper than topical oxygen can penetrate. Topox is based on the concept that oxygen diffuses through tissue at a depth of 30-50 microns.

In chronic wounds, the lack of availability of oxygen to the injured tissue, resulting in hypoxia, is the primary reason they do not heal. Providing targeted oxygen to the injured tissue using our two2 therapy devices has been proven to reverse this hypoxia and stimulate collagen synthesis, the enhancement of fibroblasts, angiogenesis and greatly improve leukocyte function. All this combined, results in wound bed granulation, tissue formation and wound closure.

Point of Care Cholesterol machine – Cholestec LDX Analyzer - US$2,950.00

Cholestech's LDX Analyzer uses a single drop of blood on a disposable test cassette and takes just five minutes to generate a lab-accurate, comprehensive measurement of a patient's cholesterol levels. The speed and ease of the LDX enables doctors to counsel patients at the time of the test - a tremendous therapeutic advantage over traditional lab testing and a more convenient option for patients.

The LDX Analyzer can measure a patient's lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, blood glucose) and ALT (alanine aminotranferase) - a test that assesses liver function in patients on certain drug therapies, such as statins. These simple tests can be used to determine a patient's risk for heart disease or to regularly monitor patients already undergoing treatment for these conditions.

The LDX Analyzer consists of a small analyzer that uses disposable test cassettes. The LDX is "CLIA-waived" under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988. The system is simple to use, requires little training and is as reliably accurate as those tests offered in a lab. In most cases, Medicare and third-party health insurance reimburse the costs of the LDX System tests.

Digital Blood Testing Monitor – Dinamap Pro - US$2,600.00

The Dinamap Pro 1000 patient monitor measures core vital signs with 3-lead ECG and respirations in one simple yet comprehensive system. And you can trust this monitor is built with only the gold standard technology for more accurate and reliable readings.

The Dinamap Pro 1000 also offers Dinamap ASAP non-invasive blood pressure and pulse rate using technology that's been clinically-proven to be more accurate than competitive models, especially in hypertensive and hypotensive patients.

Tanita Body Analyzer with scale - US$4,500.00

Tanita body composition analyzer/scales provide detailed body composition analysis - weight, impedance, body fat %, body mass index, fat mass, fat-free mass and more, all without the inconvenience of more intrusive traditional measurement methods.

Tanita Body Composition Analyzers help patients to understand what is going on inside their bodies by categorizing weight into muscle mass, water, and body fat. This knowledge can help patients with weight-related problems make better-informed decisions about their behavior. It helps them to see the effectiveness of their treatment program - especially relevant if obesity-related medication is part of the program. Tanita's detailed results and accurate reporting will also improve patient compliance, improving health outcomes.

Cleared by the FDA - all Tanita monitors have undergone the stringent tests and measures required by the FDA to ensure that our customers receive the highest quality products on the market. Your confidence is our priority.
