Abstract
As part of the continuing evaluation programme of medical equipment sponsored by the UK Health Departments, the evaluation of lung ventilators is being undertaken by the University of Wales College of Medicine. The technical performance and safety assessments are being made within the Department of Anaesthesia and the clinical trials carried out within the South Glamorgan Area Health Authority. Testing to BS 5724 is done at the British Standards Institution.
‘Health Equipment Information’ Number 143, published in June 1985, contains evaluation reports on a further four instruments intended for use with infants. These are the East Health Care Sheffield Mk 4, the Hoek Loos AIVMk3, the Draeger Babylog 1 and the SLE Newborn.
For full details of the evaluation findings, readers should consult ‘HET 143–the following are extracts from the report.
