LATEST NEWS

Oxygen Plants

Premier Biomedical Engineering Services have expanded into the Pacific Islands, particularly Kiribati and Nauru. Both countries have chosen Premier to supply and install state of the art oxygen plants that will provide much needed oxygen for the hospitals.
The machines are of US manufacture and extract oxygen from room air by an adsorption process involving a special ceramic called zeolyte.
Premier first installed such a machine at the Goroka General Hospital in the highlands of PNG. It has been managed locally by hospital staff that were selected for factory training in USA. The unit has now been operational for 2 years and supplies oxygen to Goroka and surrounding hospitals.

CR X-Ray

Premier Biomedical Engineering Services are contracted to provide X-ray facilities to the PNG LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) Project. This is a giant project headed by Exxon Mobil and a number of subsidiary partners. What is special about these X-ray facilities is that they are designed to fit completely into specially equipped containers that can be shifted from site to site as required. (All potential employees of the LNG Project must be screened for lung diseases particularly tuberculosis.)
 The containerised facility is air conditioned and lead lined for safety. Each is fitted out with a GE AMX4 mobile X-ray unit, table, bucky and a Fuji image processoor, which allows the X-ray to be displayed on a screen in less than 30 seconds.
Premier is supplying 6 of these units.

Haematology Analysers

Premier is supplying a total of 6 Mindray haematology analysers to the LNG Project. This adds significantly to the number already sold into both Provincial Hospitals as well as private clinics in PNG. The units are of exceptional reliability, having now been in operation for more than 2 years

Other Diagnostic Equipment

Premier has become a number one supplier for diagnostic ultrasound equipment, interpretive ECG machines, vital signs monitors, anaesthetic monitors, patient ventilators, electrosurgery apparatus, and drug pumps throughout PNG as well as the Pacific Islands.
Premier has now got a well earned reputation for after sales support, even though some regions are quite remote. Enquiries are welcome for any of these items of medical equipment.

WHAT IS BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING?

Biomedical engineering is a discipline concerned with the development and manufacture of prostheses, medical devices, diagnostic devices, drugs and other therapies. It is a field that combines the expertise of engineering with medical needs for the progress of health care. It is more concerned with biological, safety and regulatory issues than other forms of engineering. It may be defined as "The application of engineering principles and techniques to the medical field".

Imaging technologies of the 1930's opened the doors to the plethora of biomedical applications now available, effectively evolving early devices such as pacemakers, the heart-lung machine, dialysis machines, diagnostic equipment, imaging technologies of every kind, and artificial organs, implants, and advanced prosthetics.

Most biomedical devices are either inherently safe, or have added devices and systems so that they can sense their failure and shut down into an unusable, thus very safe state. A typical, basic requirement is that no single failure should cause the therapy to become unsafe at any point during its life-cycle.

Many biomedical devices need to be sterilized. This creates a unique set of problems, since most sterilization techniques can cause damage to machinery and materials.

Most biomedical devices are completely tested. That is, every line of software is executed, or every possible setting is exercised and verified. Most devices are intentionally simplified in some way to make the testing process less expensive, yet accurate.

Regulatory issues are never far from the mind of a biomedical engineer. To satisfy regulatory issues, most biomedical systems must have documentation to show that they were managed, designed, built, tested, delivered and used using a planned, approved process. This is thought to increase the quality and safety of the therapy by reducing the likelihood that needed steps can be accidentally omitted.

Biomedical engineers operate under specific regulatory frameworks.
