BC Biomedical’s IPA-3400 Infusion Pump Analyzer Now Patented

The IPA-3400 Infusion Pump Analyzer is now patented under US Patent No. 10,100,828. Its cutting-edge, patented design uses a dual syringe stepper motor driven system that provides continuous monitoring of the fluid flow without the need to stop and perform intermittent drains like older technologies do. This provides a more realistic flow path for the Infusion Device under test and therefore more accurate readings. Also, independent stepper motor control of the custom designed ceramic valving allows the system to run not only more quietly and more smoothly, but it also allows for a bidirectional powered fluid flow for use in the built-in cleaning cycle.

 

 


GE Healthcare’s Global Ultrasound Division Establishes New
Procedures for Testing the Safety of their TEE Ultrasound Probes

Sophia Antipolis, FRANCE and St. Charles, MO USA - GE Healthcare - a worldwide leader in TEE Ultrasound Imaging systems and BC Group International, Inc., a leading manufacturer of test equipment for the medical industry, announced after months of testing by the GE Healthcare’s Global Ultrasound Division, a new procedure for testing the safety of their TEE Ultrasound probes has been established.  

Ken O’Day, Vice President Sales and Marketing for BC Group said, “testing TEE probes for electrical leakage has always been a recommended procedure and effective December 2015 the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) Standards and Guidelines for Adult Echocardiography Accreditation went into effect.“

Section 2.2.3B of the standard states:

“The manufacturer’s guidelines must be followed for the appropriate care and cleansing of the TEE transducer and adhere to the appropriate infectious disease standards to prevent the transmission of disease. Effective December 31, 2015, the structural and electrical integrity of the transducer must be checked between each use, using an ultrasound transducer leakage tester. “Passed” or “Failed” must be documented in the routine TEE probe cleaning / maintenance log along with action taken if “failed.”

GE Healthcare’s Cardiac Segment Leader, Global Ultrasound Probes, Daniel Vignet, headed up a team of Engineers who performed the testing and established the leakage limits as well as the additional procedure for testing the GE TEE probes.

“Historically the Electrical leakage testing for Ultrasound probes was performed by the Biomedical or Clinical Engineering Department on a scheduled bases,” stated O’Day. “With the IAC regulations, the responsibility for testing the probes has shifted to the Ultrasound or Cardiology Departments, since the test now needs to be performed after every usage. Although the testing requirement is designed for patient safety, a side benefit is the detection of small problems with the TEE probes before major damage occurs,” O’Day went on to say.

The new recommended guideline just established by the GE Engineering group will now take the testing one step further to include the deflection controls as well as testing for leakage caused by bite holes, damage or other breaks in the sheath of the TEE probes. All TEE Probes need to be tested for electrical leakage, however the GE Ultrasound Probe Models 6VT-D, 6Tc and the 6Tc-RS will require the new additional testing. For more information on what is needed and how to perform this new test procedure, go to our BC Group Store and download the Quick Start Guide.

BC Biomedical’s DFA2 Technology in the ESU-2400H Now Patented

BC Biomedical’s ESU-2400H Electrosurgical Unit Analyzer’s DFA2 Technology is now patented under US Patent No. 9,883,903. The newly patented technology allows the ESU-2400H to aggressively digitize the complex RF waveforms produced by electrosurgical generators. Each data point is analyzed to provide highly accurate measurement results.

http://www.bcgroupstore.com/Assets/ProductImages/ESU-2400H.jpgThe ESU-2400H is able to digitize complex RF waveforms due to its low impedance internal load bank, which has a wide range of 0 to 6400 ohms, in as little as one ohm increments. It is a microprocessor based analyzer that utilizes a combination of unique hardware and software to provide accurate and reliable test results, even from “noisy” electrosurgical generator waveforms such as “Spray”.

The ESU-2400H, unlike most conventional ESU analyzers, has internal high voltage setup relays to control the measurement path. This allows the user to switch between power measurements, leakage measurements, REM/ARM/CQM testing, or even run an autosequence that could include any or all of these tests – without even moving wires around.

The current transformer internal to the ESU-2400H senses the RF current flowing through the internal test load and produces a ratiometric voltage, which is digitized and analyzed by the microprocessor. Combining the standard and low ranges of the ESU-2400H with the use of the current transformer, the user has full control over the ability to get high accuracy and high-resolution readings from all types of electrosurgical generators.

If you would like more information about the ESU-2400H, please contact us by phone at 1 (800) 242-8428 or through email at 
sales@bcgroupintl.com. You can also view our complete line of BC Biomedical products, including pricing, datasheets, manuals and more, online at www.BCGroupStore.com.

BC Group Hosts Three Day Training for International Dealers

                                         https://www.bcgroupstore.com/Assets/Newsletter/Dealer_image_1.jpg?ts=120201

On March 13-15th, 2018, BC Group International hosted six of our international dealers from five different countries for Technical Service Training. Malaysia, South Africa, Guatemala, Columbia and Saudi Arabia were all represented in the three-day training.

The training began with a tour of the BC Group offices and manufacturing facility. After the tour, the attendees spent eight hours each day learning the specifics and features for our BC Biomedical product lines. Instructed by our engineering manager, Lucio Simoni, the attendees learned about the ESU-2400 Series, NIBP-1000 Series, the new IPA-3400 and more. After a condensed introduction on each product, attendees also learned how to calibrate each of the BC Biomedical product lines.

For many of the dealers this was their first trip to St. Louis, and unexpectedly their first snow. They enjoyed a trip to the famous Gateway Arch and tried several different local restaurants, including the famous St. Louis style pizza and frozen custard. The training was both informative and enjoyable for the dealers and BC Group employees as we learned from each other about the biomedical field in each country.

Meet Madeline Roche, the New Quality Manager at BC Group 

http://bcgroupintl.com/images/Madeline_Roche.jpg

With four months into her new position as BC Group’s new Quality Manager, Madeline Roche is already bringing fresh perspectives to BC Group’s quality system while learning the basis on which they were formed. Madeline graduated from Northwestern University with a degree in Biomedical Engineering. She’s been in Quality roles for 14 years, with her first job working as a Validation Engineer for a small company that made dialysis machines in the Chicagoland area. She switched to the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry for 11 years at facilities producing radiological imaging agents and biopharmaceuticals. Both sites were part of large companies with multiple operations around the world. Madeline held roles in Validation, Quality Assurance and Quality Control. During this time, she also earned an MBA from Webster University and became a six-sigma green belt. 

As the new Quality Manager, Madeline oversees BC Group’s quality system which maintains the company’s ISO and FDA standards. Madeline's immediate plans for the organization include improvements to the internal auditing program and a new, more robust training program to facilitate continued growth. Madeline has already started working with multiple departments on improving their documentation and she hopes to continue to foster an environment of quality focus and a continual improvement mindset.

We asked Madeline about the importance of quality for a company, “We have all experienced a time when we were frustrated by a product that did not work correctly or did not meet our expectations. Quality is important because making a high-quality product leads to satisfied customers.”  Madeline also pointed out that an excellent quality program is especially important for OEMs because in the medical industry, quality is even more important as products help ensure the correct operation of hospital equipment, potentially improving a patient’s treatment.

When a biomed is purchasing test equipment, Madeline recommends ensuring that a firm is ISO certified and FDA registered when applicable, as certain systems must be in place and an accreditation body will confirm them in an audit. Madeline stated, “This takes the burden off the customer as they can trust in the review already performed by the independent party.”

When not at work, Madeline enjoys spending time with her family. She has two young children who keep her and her husband busy and entertained. As a family, they enjoy traveling together and seeing new places. In 2016, they took an Alaskan cruise and toured the White House. Madeline and her family will spend this holiday season in New Zealand and Australia.

Preorder the New IPA-3400 Infusion Pump Analyzer

 

Click here to see this product’s page on our webstore.

 

The IPA-3400 is the newest addition to the line of BC Biomedical test equipment. With its large 7” touch screen display, dual syringe stepper motor driven system and built-in autosequences, the IPA-3400 is the most compact and fully featured four channel analyzer on the market. The IPA-3400 has full touch screen control of all processes, leaving no need for buttons and knobs.

 

The IPA-3400 Infusion Pump Analyzer also features a new cutting edge, Patent-Pending design that uses a dual syringe stepper motor driven system. This provides continuous monitoring of the fluid flow whereas older technology needs to stop and perform intermittent drains. The IPA-3400 provides a more realistic flow path for the infusion device being tested, as well as more accurate readings. The independent step­per motor control of the custom designed, ceramic valving allows the system to run quietly and smoothly, with a bidirectional powered fluid flow for use in the built in cleaning cycle.

 

The IPA-3400 has built-in autosequence capabilities that allows the user to perform automated test procedures. Users can run specific test routines specified by various manufacturers, saving time as well as reducing the risk of human error. Advanced features in our autosequences even allows the inclusion of pictures to aid with the setup and configuration of each step. All test results are stored internally in the large, 32 GB memory. Results can also be downloaded to a USB flash drive or directly to a PC.

 

There are specific requirements in IEC 60601-2-24 for flow readings, back pres­sure simulation, bolus (PCA) measurements and occlusion alarm monitoring. All of these features are specifically built into the IPA-3400 with simple to use on screen selections.

 

The IPA-3400 is designed to hold up to 4 IPA-3900-FM flow modules. These modules are individually serialized and calibrated so that they may be moved from channel to channel and even unit to unit. Once installed they are recognized by the IPA-3400 and their Serial Number and NIST Traceable Calibration information are presented on the display and utilized in all data reporting.

 

The interchangeable modules provide the user with unprecedented flexibility in their IPA Testing System. There is no need to be down when the unit is due for calibration. Only the modules need to be calibrated. This also allows the rotating of modules or the use of a spare module, thus providing flexibility not available in other systems. The same is true for service. If there is a problem on one chan­nel, only the module needs to be serviced, eliminating downtime.

 

The IPA-3400 display may be raised to gain full access to the four user swappable flow mod­ules. No wiring or plumbing is required for mod­ule installation. Simply lift the display, remove the cover plate, loosen the retainer screw and slide the module out. All plumbing and electronics are self-contained and all electrical connections are made via a slide-in mating connector on the end of the module. Then just reverse the process for installation.

 

The IPA-3400 allows for easy field expansion. You can buy a 1 channel unit and later purchase additional modules that can be added in the field. Just plug them in and the system will automatically recognize the additional module(s), reconfigure itself and you are ready to go.

 

To preorder or for more information about the IPA-3400, expected to be available Q4 2016, contact BC Group at 1(800)242-8428 or by email at sales@bcgroupintl.com.

Testing with your ESU-2400 Analyzer has gotten even easier! Automatic autosequences are now available for the CONMED System 2450 and System 5000 Generators using the ESU-2400 Series and CONMED Automation Kit.

 

The CONMED Automation Kit (part number BC20-00133) contains the CONMED Footswitch Cable and CONMED Communications Cable for use with ESU-2400 Series. Using this kit allows users to perform automated testing using the ESU-2400 Series Autosequence function. The CONMED Automation Kit allows the ESU-2400 to remotely configure CONMED System 2450 and System 5000 Electrosurgical Generators and trigger the generator output without user intervention. 

 

The CONMED Automation Kit is required for the ESU-2400 Series fully automated CONMED PM Autosequence. There is also a manually triggered autosequence for the ConMed System 2450 and 5000 using the ESU-2400 Series and Monopolar Handpiece Simulator.

The CONMED Automation Kit requires an ESU-2400 running Software v1.0.4.0 or later or an ESU-2400H running Software v1.1.6.0 or later.

Download software updates HERE.

Also available to download is the new autosequence for the Valleylab FT10™ Generator. The autosequence is user triggered and requires the Footswitch Port Adapter (BC20-03050)


Download your free autosequences HERE
.

 


The ESU-2400 Electrosurgical Unit Analyzers also has a new software update, which renews compatibility with the new Covidien ForceTriad™ Software Update 3.8. The new ForceTriad™ Software 3.8 adds compatibility with more accessories. The ForceTriad™ can now automatically detect a wider range of accessories that are plugged into the generator.


When using the ESU-2400, the analyzer reads the software version of the ForceTriad™ and automatically loads the correct autosequence. All users are required to do is press “Start Triad PM” and the analyzer determines the correct software version. Additionally, users can select which autosequence to run. For example, if a user selects the ForceTriad™ 3.5 autosequence but the ForceTriad™ is actually 3.6, the ESU-2400 can detect that and tell the user that they have the wrong autosequence. This includes the new software 3.8 as well.

CONMED PM Kit Provides the Tools for Automated Testing of CONMED System 2450 and 5000

The newest addition to the line of BC Biomedical products is the CONMED PM Kit, a complete set of accessories needed to safely perform preventative maintenance procedures. The CONMED PM Kit works with the ESU-2400 Series of electrosurgical unit analyzers to test the CONMED System 2450 and System 5000 electrosurgical unit generators. There are three pieces to the kit, including a port adapter, 3” jumper cable and the Monopolar Handpiece Simulator.

The port adapter that is included allows test leads with standard safety jacks to connect to the CONMED Systems 2450 and 5000 model generator’s combination monopolar output.

The Monopolar Handpiece Simulator is a new accessory for the ESU-2400 Series that allows technicians to safely and automatically perform leakage measurements. This works by triggering and measuring handpiece activated leakage measurements, without manually shorting the monopolar output terminals. One of the major benefits of automated testing with the Monopolar Handpiece Simulator is that the ESU-2400’s autosequences record measurements and produce a report once the sequence is complete. A technician doesn’t need to manually record each measurement and doesn’t have to worry about accidentally skipping a step.

BC Group designed the CONMED PM Kit specifically for use with the ESU-2400 Series. It is required if a user wants to properly perform PM autosequences on the CONMED System 2450 and 5000 using an ESU-2400 or ESU-2400H.

Create Autosequences From a PC or Laptop Using BC Group’s New Safety Analyzer

BC Group International has released its newest model of safety analyzer, the SA-2500. The SA-2500 was created to fill the need for a more capable and user friendly safety analyzer with AC + DC measurement. The new analyzer is a portable, durable instrument and has advanced testing abilities.

The SA-2500 includes all the usual features of a standard safety analyzer, including line voltage measurement, earth/ground lead resistance/leakage current, point-to-point testing, enclosure/chassis leakage current, external resistance and external leakage current. The SA-2500 has a universal power supply compatible with line voltages from 90-240 VAC with load currents up to 16 amps.  All measurements are true RMS readings. The SA-2500 includes a variety of other features that separate it from traditional safety analyzers, including...

Separate Measurements for AC + DC

With microprocessor-based technology, the SA-2500 is able to separate and measure the AC and DC signals. But why would you need to measure AC and DC?  Analyzers that can measure AC and DC separately have an advantage because some test limits are different for AC or DC currents.  Without separating the measurements and getting specific results, the worst case scenario must be assumed. 

Measures Quality of Insulation

The SA-2500 also has the ability to measure the quality of insulation of a product’s power wiring.  This feature ensures that the insulation of internal wiring is intact and ensures a safe resistance between the power wiring and any exposed metal parts. 

Remote Operation with Printable Reports

The SA-2500 can be controlled remotely from a PC or laptop, which allows users to control measurements and test sequences. Through the Remote Operation, users are also able to produce reports ­­­and print results from a computer.  The Remote Control Software allows the user to generate automated test sequences, providing for repeatable and consistent test procedures that can be shared or sent to technicians as needed. 

The SA-2500 is the newest model of safety analyzer with progressive technology at a competitive price. For more information about the SA-2500 or for purchasing information visit the online store at www.BCGroupStore.com or speak to a sales representative at (314) 638-3800.


Meet the Newest Device Designed to Safely Activate Cut and Coag

The Monopolar Handpiece Simulator (part number BC20-03005) is the newest accessory released for the ESU-2400 and ESU-2400H Electrosurgical Analyzers. This simulator is the safest way to test electrosurgical generators by replacing the electrosurgical handpiece (pencil). The Monopolar Handpiece Simulator is built to work just like the pencil, but uses internal relays to activate cut and coagulation (coag). Since it is controlled by the ESU-2400 or ESU-2400H, this simulator also allows further automated testing of more electrosurgical generators than ever before.

Using the same connector and wiring as a standard two-button electrosurgical pencil, the Monopolar Handpiece Simulator can safely activate the cut and coag output. Until now, biomedical technicians have had to activate the handpiece cut and coag power by inserting insulated jumpers into the monopolar output ports. This dangerous method can severely burn biomedical technicians. This harmful situation is easily avoided by using BC Biomedical’s new simulator.

The Monopolar Handpiece Simulator is a versatile instrument, designed for use with any electrosurgical generator that utilizes a standard three-pin monopolar port for electrosurgical pencils. Compatible models include:

• Conmed System 5000
• Conmed System 2450
• Coviden ForceTriad™
• Covidien ForceFx
• Bovie Generators
