The easy-to-use DRE SP1500 Plus is safe, accurate, and features an expanded infusion rate range.

DRE Inc., a premier international medical and surgical equipment supplier, recently introduced a new syringe pump called the DRE SP1500 Plus. DRE is currently supplying the SP1500 Plus to medical facilities throughout the United States and abroad.

The versatile DRE SP1500 Plus Standard Syringe Pump provides accurate, continuous infusion of medications at rates up to 1500 ml/h. It supports all major syringe brands with volumes from 10 ml to 100 ml, and its expandable drug library comes standard with 15 drug names.

The intuitive design of the SP1500 Plus makes it one of the easiest to use syringe pumps on the market. It features a straightforward numeric keypad that allows physicians to quickly and simply enter parameters.

In addition to being easy to use, the SP1500 Plus is highly versatile and meets the fluid and drug delivery requirements of today’s changing clinical environment. And as long as the proper syringe is used, the SP1500 Plus maintains a volumetric accuracy with delivery errors that do not exceed ±2 percent for any one-hour period over 72 hours at five ml/h.

The accuracy of the SP1500 Plus is enhanced by its programmed anti-bolus and anti-siphon functions. These functions help prevent over-infusion of drugs. Anti-bolus and anti-siphon functions are extremely important in neonatology and pediatrics because these types of practices use very small doses and volumes.

The SP1500 Plus is indicated for infusion via intravenous (IV), intra-arterial (IA), epidural or subcutaneous routes of administration. Infusion rates are programmable from 0.1 to 1500 ml/h.

At about 5.7 lbs. (2.6 kg), the SP1500 Plus is battery-equipped and can be placed on a table or affixed to an IV pole. Its space-saving horizontal design allows physicians to place multiple SP1500 Plus syringe pumps on a single IV pole.

The SP1500 Plus is the latest product in DRE’s established line of hospital equipment and surgical equipment products. DRE’s product line includes the DRE Integra AV-S Anesthesia Machine, the DRE Waveline Plus Vital Signs Monitor, and the DRE Maxx Luxx II Surgical Operating Room Lighting System.

DRE, Inc. recently began distributing the Universal ECG^™, a lightweight, cost-saving PC-based ECG device.

The FDA-approved Universal ECG portable PC-based ECG is the most compact and precise PC-based ECG on the market. It connects directly to most desktop PCs, laptops and Pocket PCs running Microsoft^® Windows^® XP or 2000 and performs resting ECG anytime, anywhere. EKG results are displayed on the computer screen for rapid assessment.

DRE distributes the Universal ECG at a price that is less expensive than most standalone EKG machines. The Universal ECG provides additional cost savings upon use: It allows physicians to print EKG reports on standard computer paper, reducing thermal paper costs by as much as $700 per year. The Universal ECG also requires no calibration or annual maintenance and it draws all power from the PC, eliminating battery costs.

The Universal ECG provides automatic measurement analysis and narrative interpretation using the sophisticated Louvaine Algorithm. According to a clinical study, the Louvaine Algorithm has the best total accuracy when compared with algorithms used by leading competitors. The study also found that the Louvaine Algorithm diagnoses Myocardial Infarction more accurately than competing algorithms.

DRE sells the Universal ECG with all components necessary for measuring 12-lead EKG data. It includes:

• Intuitive software for collecting, storing and analyzing data on a laptop, desktop PC or Pocket PC
• Free networking software that lets physicians collect data in more than one location and store results on a single database
• Software used to move data from one database to another

In addition to the Universal ECG, DRE sells a variety of new and refurbished surgical and medical equipment. DRE’s exclusive brand of equipment includes the DRE Waveline Plus Vital Signs Monitor, the DRE Integra AV-S Anesthesia Machine, and the DRE Maxx Luxx II Operating Room Lighting System.
