Medical equipment is machinery designed to aid in the diagnosis or treatment of
medical problems. It is usually designed with rigorous safety standards. Medical
equipment is meant for connection of medical devices and techniques possessing digital
outputs for telemetric data (digital electrocardiographs, encephalographs, etc.)
as well as management of local and remote medical equipment (controlled video cameras,
robotized microscopes.
There are several basic types:
- Diagnostic equipment includes medical imaging machines that are used to aid diagnosis.
These include ultrasound, MRI, CAT-scans, PET, and x-ray machines.
- Therapeutic equipment includes infusion pumps, medical lasers and LASIK surgical machines.
- Life support equipment is used maintain a patient's bodily function. These include
medical ventilators, heart-lung machines, ECMO, and dialysis machines.
- Medical monitors allow medical staff to measure a patient's medical state. Monitors
may measure patient vital signs and other parameters including ECG, EEG, blood pressure,
and dissolved gases in the blood.
- Medical laboratory equipment automates or helps analyze blood, urine and genes.
In addition to the basic equipment to support an examination, there are numerous
medical devices to assist in Telemedicine examination of the eye, heart, lungs,
and abdomen such as the scanner, microscope, web camera, ECG, Spiro meter.
With our software ‘e-Sanjeevani’, it is possible to connecting of any TWAIN
Complaint medical equipment or modalities like scanner, microscope, web
camera, ECG, Spiro meter etc both through analog and digital interface.With the right telemedicine equipment and telemedicine software, you can provide new and cutting edge medicine and healthcare for your patients.With our telemedicine technology applications you get clear digital pictures to help with your diagnosis.Our software
has various features like Video on Demand, live web-event broadcasts, and MP3 streaming
as well as rich media communication applications like video blogging, video messaging
and multimedia chat environments to let you reach your audience.
The following is the list of minimal equipment required to set up a cost efficient
“Telemedicine station”:

A scanner is indispensable equipment for our Telemedicine
Project. We drew certain guidelines for selecting the appropriate scanner for our
application like: a) Twain Compliance b) Minimum optical resolution of 1200 dpi
(Vertical resolution of 2400dpi) c) Color CCD d) USB 1.1 or higher Interface.

Video conferencing system is a revolutionary mean to conduct live sessions between
doctors or between a specialist and a patient sitting in different hospitals as
it fulfills the lack of face-to-face interactions, thus providing the patient a
psychological support. Even lectures, tutorials, and discussions between hospitals
can also be conducted for educational purpose.
We drew certain guidelines for selecting the appropriate scanner for our application
like:
- ITU supported standards like FLV, a proprietary format derived from H.263,
Mp3 format.
- ISDN connectivity of 64 Kbps - 128 Kbps (384 Kbps for best results)SGPGI Lucknow.
- TCP/IP Supported data rate.
- Flash Media Server 2.0
- Flash Player 6.0 and above.
- Web Camera and Microphone.
- Min 3 x 128Kbps ISDN BRI for Single Point Video Conferencing and PRI Interface for
Multi Point Video Conferencing.
