Microtol is a pH-neutral, stabilized solution that was developed in South Africa. This patented solution is environmentally friendly, and biodegrades within 72hours.
The importance of this product lies in the fact that, the chemical functional group, aldehyde is most widely recognized around the world for killing bacteria, viruses, fungi, moulds and spores.
With the development of Microtol, you now have the most effective chemical in the world for killing these micro-organisms and it is user-friendly! There is no special chemical-breathing apparatus or clothing requirement when handling Microtol.
Microtol is as chemically inert as water. Unlike chlorine and peroxide based sanitizers, Microtol is non-corrosive. The more Microtol you use, the greater your protection. Now you can remove the organisms that cause illness in humans, safely and effectively, without costly downtime.
The easy-to-use nature of Microtol products means that no specialised training is required for staff that will be using the product on a daily basis. (This is not to say that the correct infection control practices should not be followed).
The concentrated solutions are simply diluted prior to use, whenever and wherever required. The products operate optimally at room temperature. (This saves users the cost of heating the solution prior to use…as is the case with many disinfectants available.)
There is no known microbial resistance to Microtol. This is extremely important for the containment of drug-resistant super-bugs.
The Microtol active ingredient is available in two ranges; namely Microtol+ and Solene. Microtol+ is a range which has been created solely for the medical and pharmaceutical industries; while Solene is better suited for household and general disinfection requirements.
Microtol is manufactured by Bawoma Chemicals, who have SANAS approved laboratories for performing chemical and micro biology quality control.

A major innovation of the HAMILTON-H900 is that it comprises only two components: The humidifier base and the pre-assembled wall-heated breathing set, including all-in-one connectors, temperature probe,water refill tube, Y-piece, and water chamber. The unique combination of having all connections on a humidifier in one single breathing set provides the highest level of ergonomics. Due to the ergonomic design, the user interface can be easily seen and operated from a standing position, and provides all the information you need at a glance.
Over the lifetime of a humidifier, the initial investments are relatively small. Cost-driving factors are circuits, cables, and temperature probes. With the HAMILTON-H900, expensive replacements for lost or broken temperature probes and cables are a thing of the past. Due to reduced risk of cross contamination, a long life span and high-quality materials, the HAMILTON-H900 single-use breathing set can be used for up to four weeks on a patient.

CTG's are used by Obstetricians as part of their routine examination to monitor the Fetal Heart Rate. Some CTG's also have the additional function to record and monitor the uterine wall activity. In addition to this it has become quite essential to some practitioners to be able to discern between the Heart Rates of fetuses in a twin pregnancy.
CTG measures your baby's heart rate. At the same time it also monitors the contractions in the womb (uterus). CTG is used both before birth (antenatally) and during labour, to monitor the baby for any signs of distress. By looking at various different aspects of the baby's heart rate, doctors and midwives can see how the baby is coping.
In CTG monitoring, a special type of ultrasound, called Doppler®, is used. This type of ultrasound is used to measure structures that are moving, making it useful for monitoring heart rate.The other plate on the CTG measures how tense the mother's tummy (abdomen) is. This measurement is used to show when the uterus is contracting.
SSEM Mthembu supply the Sunray range of CTG’s. These offer a number of features needed to ensure optimal results from tests done on these systems.

The 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines now endorse wave form capnography as a Level I recommendation for ET tube verification, a Level IIa reccomendation for detecting return of spontaneous circulation and a IIb for monitoring CPR quality.
By tracking the carbon dioxide in a patient’s exhaled breath, capnography enables paramedics to objectively evaluate a patient’s ventilatory status (and indirectly circulatory and metabolic status), as the medics utilize their clinical judgement to assess and treat their patients.
Waveform capnography provides real-time feedback on how patients are breathing or ventilated


System One Humidity Control has been designed to establish optimum patient comfort and device performance. Patients select one of five dial settings to receive a consistent delivery of relative humidity at the mask to meet their personal needs. For additional comfort, System One now has improved absolute humidity and target relative humidity levels across all humidifier dial settings. In addition, a new “classic” mode provides the ability to shut off humidity control, if desired.
Even in changing environmental conditions, consistent humidification levels are preserved throughout each night. System One closely monitors room temperature, room humidity, and flow to determine what is required to maintain the patient-selected humidity level. By controlling relative humidity output at the mask, rainout can be prevented, under most circumstances. With such intelligent control, our other comfort technologies, such as Flex, perform at their peak, providing maximum comfort and encouraging long-term compliance.
Highly-adaptable System One humidification plus a Heated Tube option provide more ways for patients to get comfortable.
Building on our highly successful System One humidification, Philips Respironics introduces an additional humidification solution that enhances performance, flexibility and comfort.
With the System One Heated Tube, we now have a solution for exceptional patient comfort.
