Diagnostic Equipment

Premier Biomedical Engineering is a leading supplier of diagnostic ultrasound equipment (pictured: Sonoscape S8 Colour Doppler Ultrasound), interpretive ECG machines, vital signs monitors, anaesthetic monitors, patient ventilators, electrosurgery apparatus and drug pumps throughout PNG and the Pacific Islands.

We also have a well-earned reputation for after-sales support, even in remote regions. Enquiries are welcome for any of these items of medical equipment.

Oxygen Equipment

Anything from regulators and bag valve masks to ventilators and resuscitators can be supplied at very competitive pricing.

Oxygen Plants

Premier has expanded into the Pacific Islands, particularly Kiribati and Naoero — both countries chose Premier to supply and install state-of-the-art oxygen plants providing much-needed oxygen for their hospitals.

The machines are of US manufacture and extract oxygen from room air by an adsorption process involving a special ceramic called zeolite.

Modular Oxygen Cylinder Filling Plants

Recent advances in concentrator and compressor design allow modular plants that can be transported by aircraft as small as a Dash-8, quickly assembled, and still produce a significant output of oxygen.

• All low-pressure components in a single wheeled cabinet with built-in monitoring and alarms
• Four-stage compressor with automatic shut-off at 2,000 psi
• Concentrator 120 kg, compressor 80 kg — portable by stretcher poles where needed
• Fills a 7,000-litre ‘G’ size cylinder in 8.5 hours; a ‘D’ size in about 2 hours
• Oxygen purity of 90–95% achievable via pressure and flow adjustment

Oxygen Concentrators

Primarily used to provide oxygen to home-based patients, concentrators are also employed in day surgeries where post-procedure patients benefit from low-flow (5–8 L/min) oxygen — saving the cost and inconvenience of a cylinder beside the bed in centres without reticulated oxygen.

Premier does supply and install these units for home use or clinical settings.

Haematology Analysers

Premier has supplied Mindray haematology analysers into Provincial Hospitals as well as private clinics across PNG. The units are of exceptional reliability.
