Trivitron Brem range of X-ray Products

Trivitron, the largest Indian medical technology company, for the first time recently launched home products in the imaging division under its new brand name Brem. Brem range of X-ray products will be of two types, the conventional two pulse X-ray generator and the latest state-of-the-art high frequency generator. Trivitron expects to bring about 200 X-ray units , 50C Arms amongst others such as mammography, dental X-ray, and digital X-rays, together contributing to Rs 10 crore of sales in the first manufactured by the Trivitron's owned subsidiary.

Brem stands for the well-known method of X-ray generation called Bremsstrahlung. Under the conventional category, Brem products include X-rays machines from 30mA hand-held/60mA portable to 300 mA and 500mA stationary units. Whereas, for the high frequency type, Brem products will be C-Arm systems of both 6 inches and 9 inches with stationary and rotating anode, mobile and stationary X-ray machines of 110mA and X-ray systems of 20kw, 50kw and 80kw. DR systems, Dental X-rays, Mammography and Mobile Cathlab will soon be added to its portfolio.

The new age high frequency X-ray generator, introduced by the Company, reduces X-ray dose to almost half, for patients without any quality compromise. It also eliminates soft radiation, which can cause skin cancer over prolonged exposure. Compact in nature, high frequency X-ray generators are also power savers, which require only a single phase power source and is operable from a five amp power point.

Sivasankar, GM, Imaging Division, Trivitron Medical Systems, said, "Trivitron is edged towards its Vision 2010 of reaching Rs 1,000 crore of revenues.”

With these whole range of products along with other sub systems such as II TV system, image memory, manual and motorised tables, floor-to-ceiling column stand, Trivitron aims to become a one stop shop for all X-ray products and accessories.

Transasia Bio-Medicals Ltd
Uro-dip 240

Users of urine analysers and strips will appreciate this-all along, urine analysis done with urine reagent strips and urine analysers had to be often re-confirmed with wet chemistry tests such as Fouchet's for Bilirubin, Benedict for Glucose and SSA or Acetoacetic acid for protein. This is because in most of the cases, the colour of the urine (due to medication, excess blood, etc) caused false positive reactions on the strips, which was duly reported by the analysers.

Erba's Uro-dipcheck range of analysers and strips are uniquely designed to overcome this problem. The reagent strips are equipped with special calibration pads that absorb the colour of urine and the colour development on the other pads is corrected for this colour-in other words, the system ensures that the colour change of pads is due to the urinary analytes and not due to the colouration of urine.

This and other features such as dual-mode operation, high through put ranging from 240 to 500 tests per hour, 1,000 record system memory, RS 232 serial port connectivity, bi-level liquid stable controls make this range the most complete urine analysis range available.

Products available in the range:

• Urine analysers—Uro-dipcheck 240 and Uro-dipcheck 500.
• Urine strips—Uro-dip 2 VPG (Protein + Glucose), Uro-dip 2 VGK (Glucose + Ketone), Uro-dip 10 A (10-parameter analysis), Uro-dip 11 G (11-parameter analysis with ascorbic acid).
• Urine Controls—Ud Trol controls (Level 1 and Level 2).
