Eye Hospital, Guangzhou Ireland favored by foreign patients – Eye Hospital – Medical Devices Industry
Monday, September 6th, 2010Few days ago, a friend told me the complaint: Now to the hospital for medical treatment is the most difficult, and queuing must rafts most of the day, and disinfection of the hospitals people can not stand the taste. . . . . . Think so, all major hospitals is certainly packed in together, see a doctor, the sick, nurses over hospital run. Friend’s remarks remind me of a situation in foreign countries for medical treatment, really big difference. However, some hospitals have now started with the foreign integration, whether environmental or services, devices are designed very human, more and more foreign patients, and business people of all ages. I specially visited this hospital?? Guangzhou Ireland Eye Hospital.
Ireland Eye Hospital is located right Guangzhou Zhongshan Er Road, this busy street lined hospitals, but went in giving a very comfortable feeling, it is not “hospital feeling.” Hospital president?? Professor Gao Rulong is enjoying the benefits of the authority of the State Council, an eye specialist. A transfer to the hospital, I finally came to understand the reasons for Ireland welcome.
Elegant hospital environment “Dirty concrete floor, full of people everywhere, the patient may be infected in the region walked holding drugs and equipment. I need to go to the hospital in the United States when, a few days in advance reservation. To appointed time, I went to the clinic sign, and then wait about 15 minutes a doctor can diagnose. In China I have tried to make an appointment, but was told not to be accepted, I can do is to wait for long queues at the hospital. Therefore, every When I intend to go to the hospital, I have to do the work in the morning or afternoon is not psychologically prepared. “This is a foreigner in the eyes of the Chinese hospital environment. The Albert Eye of the hospital environment with foreign hospitals close to the tone with elegant, doctors surgeries, particularly the relative independence makes the hospital environment quiet. 24-hour hotline, professional advice, sound system re-matching of patients to the hospital every appointment that you can enjoy a hand guiding patients, no waiting in line, to make friends, get high each patient’s cost-effective services. Makes Ireland such an environment, a number of Ophthalmology Hospital, much favored by foreign patients and business people.
Word of mouth Professor Kao said that in Guangzhou there are many students, they have seen and heard in Ireland spread out. Of course, to do business work, and the Middle East, Asia has, they are all word of mouth, over the oceans of the. Therefore, there is no lack Ireland hospital patients from these areas, there are some in Japan, Europe, the United States more patient. Here is his good equipment, good service, good technology, good treatment to form a reputation, a transfer to dozens hundred patients come here especially. “Few days ago, our patients come a Jordanian man, named Magee. Two years ago, Magee as suffering from cataract eyes, choosing to act in Jordan right eye surgery. Back to China, due to the busy business pumping can not itself, in a mainland hospital to do the left eye of cataract surgery. to April this year, Magee found that left eye began to fall on to the nearby hospitals for treatment. But the hospital environment, especially the staff so that he can not stand crowded , after a friend highly recommended to find me. Now, our hospital is also known in their countries up, huh, huh. “Professor Gao told the author about a patient.
Interview that day, I happened to meet a foreign mother took her son to Ireland, was originally the wife of the Australian consul in Guangzhou with his son. 8-year-old mother had found the Griffin a few days ago to look at things unknown, after the introduction through a friend found a Professor Gao. After a precise examination, the original Griffin hyperopic right eye and 50 degrees +50 degrees of astigmatism, hyperopia +50 degrees 25 degrees left eye astigmatism. Professor Kao said that children hyperopia treatment seems simple, practical, very complicated, the general Glasses Stores can not be resolved, and there’s children involved in strabismus, amblyopia problem. Hospital doctors, optometrists optical shops are eligible for eye examination for children, for children hyperopia. Parents should take their child to hospital in time to avoid delay in the child’s treatment time. Griffin’s mother also praised Professor Gao: “verygood!”
Professor Kao said Albert Eye Hospital in Guangzhou since the Practical Study on the public-spirited, charitable activities, and actively participate in charitable activities in prevention of blindness, have high reputation in society.

Medical Instruments LCD Fault Diagnosis and Maintenance – Liquid Crystal Display – Medical Devices Industry
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010With the LCD in medical instruments and equipment on the extensive application of medical equipment engineers to understand and master the liquid crystal display unit of the common faults and maintenance of value and meaning.
1. LCD display features and structure
1.1 LCD features (1) low-voltage, micropower :2-3V can work.
(2) Flat structure: The basic structure of liquid crystal display device is made of two thin glass box, this structure can accommodate a limited area on the maximum amount of display content, display utilization highest.
(3) passive-type display: liquid crystal display device itself does not light, it is modulated by external light to display purposes. That there was no glare, does not stimulate the human eye, does not cause eye fatigue. For the dark can not see the shortcomings, if coupled with backlight, can be overcome.
(4) shows large amount of information: in comparison with the CRT, liquid crystal display device does not mask limits, so pixels can be done smaller, more refined; compared with plasma display, liquid crystal display pixel point does not need such as plasma display as pixels to leave enough room between the isolation zone. Therefore, the liquid crystal display the size of the display window in the same area, it can accommodate more pixels, display more information.
(5) easy to color: the LCD itself, though generally not the color, but color of it is easy to achieve. More general use is color filter method and interferometry. As the color filter method mature technology, so LCD color of a more precise, more bright color and no color distortion of results.
(6) Long life: liquid crystal material is a polymer composite material. Has a very high purity, and other materials are also high-purity substances, in very clean conditions made of. LCD driving voltage is low, the drive current is negligible, so that almost no degradation of the device, life is very long. From a practical application test, general use, in addition to impact, broken or damaged fittings, the liquid crystal display device itself is almost no end of life (LCD backlight life is limited, we normally refer to the LCD backlight life of the life of the main i.e. , but the backlight module is replaceable).
(7) no radiation, no pollution: the use of liquid crystal display devices like CRT will not use the soft X-rays and produce electromagnetic radiation. This radiation is not only pollute the environment but also generate information disclosure, while LCD does not produce such problems, it is for the safety and confidentiality of information is ideal.
1.2 LCD basic structure Common structure of liquid crystal display to TFT-LCD speaking, key components, including glass substrates, liquid crystal materials, color film (color filter), polarizer, backlight module, driver IC, ICO conductive film, etc. . First of all, the light from the backlight shines polarizers, the light passing through polarizers, it will be polarized, polarized light will pass through liquid crystal, because the liquid crystal molecules are arranged by the electrode voltage effect Therefore, liquid crystal can change the angle of polarization of light polarization, different angles of polarization of light intensity caused by them will be different, with different intensity of light through the color film and then the red, blue, green, 3 pixels, it will show a variety of different brightness and different colors of pixels, each pixel Finally, by the naked eye can see the composition of the various images and graphics.
2. LCD display Fault Liquid crystal displays almost no degradation, long life, real life is the decision of LCD backlight modules. Currently used in LCD backlighting by technology, for mainly halogen, light emitting diode (LED), electroluminescent (EL), cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL), cathode emission lamp (CLL) and metal halide lamps, etc. . Which is the most widely used cold cathode fluorescent lamps, mainly because such a backlight performance, stability and cost are better, now used by almost all LCD monitors use this backlight.
I looked up some information on companies, the statistics of the current liquid crystal displays commonly used cold cathode fluorescent lamp life hours of the basic as 30000-50000. OD 2.6-3.0mm, tube voltage 500-1000V, the lamp current 5mA. Lamp power 0.5-7.0W, start voltage 300-1500V.
Medical Device Manufacturer Debuts New Hybrid Design
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010Originally conceived over twenty years ago, penile traction devices are designed to treat Peyronie’s disease, defined as an abnormal curvature of the penis. More recently this same medical technology has become increasingly popular as an alternative method to enlarge the penis. Traditionally, these types of extenders use spring tension to apply the traction force and use either a silicone band or strap to hold the penis in place. The method of fixation is often the main, sometimes only, difference between many popular types of penis extenders. The type of extender that includes the silicone band is sometimes referred to as the “classical” extender since the simple design has often been imitated. Since the rigidity of the silicone band has been known to cause discomfort for some men the development of the silicone strap was an innovation hailed as the “modern” extender. The strap system has gained much popularity in the enlargement community due to the fact that many men find it to be a more comfortable alternative to the band. Since many men often wear penile extenders for hours at a time, comfort and blood flow to the penis are the most important factors they have to consider. The one indisputable fact that scientific research and common sense can agree on is that all men are not created equal. Depending on factors ranging from penis shape to skin type, each individual will have to find the method that is best suited to their own body. While the classical and modern fixation methods are both considered very effective, there is no reliable way to determine which method best suits a particular individual. Penis shape, foreskin, and skin sensitivity are all important factors to consider when finding the best method of fixation to use.
Recently there has been a new development that gives more flexibility and choice to many male consumers. Now a new traction based extender that incorporates both the classic and modern designs has been unveiled. The patent pending design was researched and tested by X4 Labs Inc., a Canadian firm, and has now been approved for retail distribution worldwide. This new design, referred to by the manufacturer as a Hybrid Support System is a major improvement over other models that tend to have a one size fits all approach to penis enlargement. With the creation of this new Hybrid Support System men now can choose for themselves which method of fixation is best suited to their particular body type. Since many men are unfamiliar with penile extenders it can be difficult to know what type will be the most comfortable and efficient without getting the chance to try it out. The X4 extender marks a major advancement that has been long overdue. Men now have the chance to decide for themselves if the silicone band or strap is the right choice for their needs, without the need to first try out the product. While both the strap and band both have the backing of medical experts and professionals, there is still only one way to know which method best suits the individual and that is to try them both and see which one they prefer.
