AIS rugged tablet PC for medical environment
American Industrial Systems, Inc. (AIS for short) has recently introduced a couple of medically certified 8.4” and 10.4” Rugged Tablet PCs that will target the medical industry. Being that small in size, you are spot on if you thought that the famous Intel Atom processor found in netbooks will be the heart and engine of these rugged tablet PCs – they will utilize the latest N270 Intel Atom Processor that offers high reliability operation in an ultra low power environment. On the outside, you will be pleased to note that the tablet PC sports an elegant, practical design that boasts an aluminum-magnesium alloy construction with individually sealed ports for complete IP54 compliance waterproof and dustproof protection. In addition, these two tablet PCs have already made it past the UL60601-1 Medical Equipment Certifications that make them approved where electronic compatibility and reliability in the medical field are concerned. Not only that, AIS has made sure they are tough as nuts by virtue of its engineering that complies with Military 810F shock, vibration, and drop standards. Never knew the hospital environment would be that tought, but hey, you can never tell when your tablet PC might drop to the ground when a patient starts to trash around in bed, right?

AccuVein AV300 helps nurses out in a difficult spot
How many of you dread the puncture of a needle when it is inserted under your skin? Well, the thought of it used to give me the creepy crawlies until I realized that things weren’t so bad after all as a kid since the good doctor always has a handy supply of lollipops at hand to help soothe my fears just before he inflicts unimaginable pain on me. For those who have grown up and are still averse to needles, this could be due to the fact that inexperienced nurses/hospital staff who have failed to grasp the finer points of finding a vein in the right spot before injection could end up doing more harm than good to the patient. Ever tried donating blood only to have your arm poked a few times before the right vein is picked out? Well, with the AccuVein AV300, all those horrors and nightmares can be a thing of the past.

Portable Bunker aims to save lives in forest & bush fires
Smoke jumpers. They are some of the bravest first responders in the world. With forest and brush fires blazing, these firefighting special forces parachute ahead, and often times in the middle of, forest fires and seek to create a bulwark to stop fires in their tracks. And often times, tragedy ensues and they become overwhelmed by fire conditions and die horrific deaths, leaving the fire to blaze on. So it makes sense that governments would seek to maximize the survivability of their firefighters. Enter the Bush Bunker.

UV Monkey helps keep you safe
You should know by now that staying under the sun for long periods of time, especially when it is at its fiercest, just to get a lovely tan isn’t quite a good idea these days with the ever thinning ozone layer even if you have splashed generous dollops of sunscreen over you. After all, no point having a nice tan all over only to discover that you suffer from skin cancer many years down the road, right? Well, for folks who just love the summer sun and can’t get enough of it after the dreary winter months, here’s something that might help you manage your time under the sun – the UV Monkey from Firebox. What’s the UV Monkey, actually? Well, it isn’t some sort of simian creature that shoots out UV rays at people, but is actually a key-fob sized UV ray detector.

SimMan 3G creeps us out
I guess you must have a pretty strong intestinal fortitude if you are going to take up medicine as your career path of choice, after all, how many of us are able to stand the sight of blood and gore without grimacing or flinching? I’d probably drop a scalpel into the patient myself after a few minutes due to the extraordinary amounts of blood (much more than those depicted in violent video games), only to be revived with smelling salts by my fellow students a short while after. Guess there is no better way to prepare someone in the medical field than with a dummy, and Laerdal Medical from Norway have come up with a new and improved version of the Resusci Anne CPR training simulator, known as the SimMan 3G. Just like the average human, the SimMan 3G can cry, bleed, convulse, go into cardiac arrest, and suffer from virtually any and every medical condition possible, allowing newbies to practise on something that’s not alive rather than on a human subject.

SneezerBeam for fast and effective allergy relief
Folks who suffer from hay fever as well as other nasal allergies constantly whenever the seasons change will be pleased to know that there is yet another device out there in the market which could help them combat their respective maladies – the SneezerBeam is one of them.
SneezerBeam is a non-invasive light therapy that treats allergic symptoms such as congestion, runny nose, watery eyes and a headache using only light. SneezerBeam works by using two combined beams of light to inhibit the cells in your nose that release histamine, which is at the center of what triggers your allergic symptoms. The technology is based upon a clinical trial on 40 patients suffering from allergic rhinitis. During the trial 20 patients were given the same light therapy used in Sneezer Beam and 20 received a placebo. The results showed 72% of patients using the light therapy showed a marked improvement of their symptoms (compared to just 24% in the placebo group) and were published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.
Don’t worry about being too dependent on the SneezerBeam as this is one drug-free device that won’t leave you with any side effects. For £39.95 a pop, it is well worth a try especially when you’ve run out of options to combat your allergies over the years. Just don’t share this with anyone else for hygienic purposes.
