HLL Lifecare Limited (HLL) will take into industrial production and
commercialization of three medical devices, the technology for which has
been developed by the prestigious Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for
Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTMST), Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala.
Union
minister of health and family welfare JP Nadda officially transferred
the know-how to HLL CMD R P Khandelwal during the 2nd Technology and
Industrial Meet organised by the Sree Chitra Institute.
The
three technologies transferred to HLL are Blood/IV Fluid Warning System,
a Thermo Regulated Infant Warming Bassinet, and Thermo Regulated Infant
Warming Wrapper.
"The two infant warmers will mark a first for
HLL in pediatric medical devices. By warming fluids with accuracy and
speed, the Blood/IV Fluid Warming System can help providers deliver
higher-quality care to more patients. We are very proud to take the
initiative in getting know-how developed by research institutes such as
SCTIMST out into the market and to the public," said HLL CMD RP
Khandelwal.
The infant warmer bassinet and wrapper are both
transportable, light weight, battery operated devices that can be used
to keep babies in thermo neutral condition and come with temperature
controls, displays, alarms and other such safety features.
The
blood and IV fluid warming system enables quick warming of refrigerated
material (from 4 degrees C to 37 degrees C in just a few minutes) for
transfusion. It consists of a blood bag warming chamber and IV tube
warming cartridge lined with infra-red LEDs for the heating, and
adjustments that allow for both slow and rapid transfusion.
The
Instant Warming Bassinet has a retractable top cover fitted with a
warming pad and a bed with a warming pad under it. The pads have
infra-red emitting LEDs for warming and sensor to control temperature
levels.
The Thermo Regulated Infant Wrapper is similarly embedded
with a cluster of infra-red LEDs and has a power controller. It
requires very few watts of thermal energy for the warming process since
it is wrapped around the baby.
“As with all products and services
of HLL, our goal with these new devices will be to ensure quality care
and affordability to general public,” Khandelwal added.
