• The EasyClean LED Laryngoscope Handle is
100% waterproof, and is, without disassembly,
suitable for all sterilization processes, says Heine
USA. You can submerge it, spray it or simply wipe
it off … and it always remains watertight. California
now requires that scope handles be high-level dis-
infected, and I wouldn't be surprised if other states
eventually adopt the same rule.
• Mindray is looking to
carve out a share of the
outpatient market with
the A7 Advantage
Anesthesia Machine,
which, it says, offers the
same platform as larger
models, but with a small-
er footprint and a more
economical price. It sup-
ports low-flow anesthesia, captures agent-consumption data during
and after each case and, when fully loaded, has more ventilation
modes than any competitor, says the rep. The machine comes with a
3-year warranty.
