Manufacturers and designers from 59 countries entered more than 6,300 current product innovations in the Red Dot Product Design Award 2018. Only products that convinced the 40 experts from all over the world with their high design quality received awards in the annual competition. Nihon Kohden is proud to announce that CerebAir – a telemetry EEG amplifier designed at its Advanced Technology Centre in Tokorozawa, Japan – received the Red Dot Product Design Award in the category “Life sciences and medicine”.
CerebAir is a telemetry EEG amplifier, developed for quick and easy cEEG monitoring. One of the difficulties of performing EEG monitoring in ER/ICU is the time-consuming preparation of the patients scalp and the positioning of the electrodes. CerebAir is a solution for these problems with application taking just 5 minutes and requiring very little training.
The design combines ease of application with a feeling of solid reliability. Curved lines follow the contours of the patient’s skull and the headset’s small dimensions are designed to avoid interference with other medical equipment attached to the patient’s head. The headset’s flexible design allows electrodes to be positioned correctly simply by placing the pad on the patient’s forehead. Disposable electrodes enable quick application without needing to prepare attachment sites first. EEG measurement data can be transmitted wirelessly using Bluetooth, which enables EEG to be measured in an ER/ICU without adding to the number of medical devices surrounding the patient.

The calibration laboratory at IMT Analytics AG has been accredited by the Swiss Accreditation Service SAS in accordance with ISO 17025 – the main standard for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. This means that our customers can rely fully upon our precision calibrations according to ISO 17025. The calibration results of our gas flow analysers meet international standards and the high level of accuracy has been officially confirmed.
Confirmation of competence
For IMT Analytics AG, this accreditation represents a major success. It confirms competence and the high level of calibration accuracy in gas flow and pressure calibrations. This is extremely important for our customers, which are using our gas flow analysers to test and calibrate medical ventilators. This high level of accuracy guarantees compliance with standards and accurate calibrated functioning of ventilators and other devices that generate gas flow or pressure and which are tested on a regular basis using the CITREX or FlowAnalyser range of products.
Annual calibration
Visit our website for more information about our high-precision testing devices and our services, including the EasyCal calibration service. In just a few clicks, you can also register directly to arrange the annual calibration of your measuring device as recommended by the manufacturer.

Eastwood Park’s healthcare engineering degree programmes start again in October 2018, so there are just a few weeks left to secure your place for this year’s intake for:
- Foundation degree medical equipment technologies
- Foundation degree hospital engineering
- BSc (Hons) management of healthcare engineering technologies & facilities
The degrees are delivered in collaboration with Staffordshire University, who recently secured the biggest climb compared to any UK university in the Complete University Guide 2019. Staffordshire University prides itself on delivering “world class healthcare education”, making the university an ideal partner to deliver these degrees with us, as the UK’s leading provider of healthcare engineering training.
Because the degrees are part-time, students can continue working and earning at the same time, with study carried out through distance learning and assessment, supported by 4 residential study weekends per year at Eastwood Park. This is undoubtedly a preferable option for many who have been away from the classroom for a long time, or do not have the option to return to full-time study.
On completion of a foundation degree, there is the option to progress onto a further year's study for a BSc (Hons) Management of Healthcare Engineering Technologies & Facilities. However, applicants with other relevant qualifications are also welcome, as well as those with relevant experience for direct entry onto the programme.
Mechanical Estates Officer, Simon Everett, who is currently enrolled with Eastwood Park, commented (in an interview with The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital)
“completing this specific degree is beneficial as hospital engineers need a much broader and deeper knowledge and skill set than any one single trade. This combination of experience across a range of hospital engineering disciplines, plus a degree level qualification from two well-respected organisations will not only help you stand out in the employment market, but give you a much more rounded view of your role and the opportunities open to you within the industry."

IMT Analytics
New name, well-known ventilator testers and services
Following the sale of imtmedical ag to Vyaire Medical, IMT Analytics AG continues the company's analyser business unit. Apart from the redesign of the product portfolio, this means little change for customers and partners, the head office also remains at its present location.
Buchs/Switzerland. High-precision gas flow analysers for the calibration of ventilators and anaesthesia machines, versatile test lungs and medical grade air compressors: These products comprise the portfolio of the recently founded IMT Analytics AG. Part of the offer is, for example, the high-end FlowAnalyser PF-300. It can be used to test and calibrate all types of medical devices that generate pressure or flow. Thanks to its high-precision measurement methodology, it is considered as the respiratory device manufacturers industry standard.
In addition, IMT Analytics AG also manufacturers and distributes the testing devices of the CITREX family: From the entry-level model CITREX H3 to the versatile CITREX H4 and the CITREX H5 with its customisable user interface.
New apps just before publication
The CITREX H5 impresses not only with its display, but also with apps that simplify measurement procedures. Previously particularly used in conjunction with bellavista ventilators, IMT Analytics will release several other ventilator specific apps over the next few weeks, these will be followed with other new apps as they are developed. Shortly, a Dropbox application, which allows users to manage their data more easily will be added.
IMT Analytics AG also sells test lungs in various versions: from simple, non-adjustable models such as EasyLung and EasyLung Neonatal to the SmartLung in different sizes, in which resistance, compliance and leakage can be changed in just a few steps. Also available is the aeris compressor. It provides certified medical grade compressed air at low cost of ownership and minimum maintenance.
Know-how remains
For customers and partners of IMT Analytics AG. there are hardly any changes apart from the company name. The head office of the company remains in the Swiss city Buchs, as do the development and support team with its decades of experience.
