The DRE Waveline Nano, a pocket-size pulse oximeter, displays pleth and line SpO2 waveforms, SpO2, and pulse rate on a bright, backlit screen.

DRE, Inc.—a premier medical and surgical equipment supplier—recently unveiled the DRE Waveline Nano, a stylish handheld SpO2 monitor. The Waveline Nano is the latest addition to DRE’s line of dependable patient monitors, which includes the DRE Waveline Plus and the DRE Spectra AG5 Anesthesia Gas Monitor.

The Waveline Nano has a radiant screen and is one of the only handheld pulse oximeters on the market capable of displaying SpO2 line and pleth waveforms. Its crystal-clear screen also features large numeric SpO2 and pulse rate readings.

Smaller than a Nintendo Wii remote, the Waveline Nano has an eye-catching design that comfortably fits the contours of the user’s hand. Its simple, intelligent layout features two well-placed buttons that allow physicians to quickly control all functions of the device.

The Waveline Nano, which comes standard with a DB9 SpO2 finger probe, provides ID setup for up to 10 patients with up to 72 hours of record storage. All data stored on the Waveline Nano can be transferred to a PC or laptop.

Using two AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries, the Waveline Nano provides as many as 24 hours of continuous operation. To minimize power consumption, the battery-saving Waveline Nano automatically shuts down when the finger probe is disconnected from the patient.

The Waveline Nano can be purchased now at ORSupply.com, DRE’s online medical supplies and accessories store. Physicians interested in bulk purchases can visit DRE’s website at www.dremed.com to request a quote for the Waveline Nano, as well as quotes for anesthesia machines, vital signs monitors, surgical lights and much more.

In addition to the Waveline Nano, DRE has a broad line of patient monitors that includes the DRE Waveline Plus, a seven-parameter vital signs monitor, the DRE Spectra AG5, a ten-channel anesthesia gas monitor, and the DRE Vida, a multi-parameter monitor. DRE’s product line also includes the DRE Integra AV-S Anesthesia Workstation, the DRE Vision Excel Surgery Light System, and the DRE ASG-300 Electrosurgical Generator.

A shipment of used medical equipment is en-route to Ghana, thanks to the support of local community groups and residents.

This shipment of much-needed medical equipment includes an operating room table, an incubator, medical stretchers, and hospital beds. The entire shipment is made up of unwanted hospital equipment collected from hospitals, doctors, and surgical centers.

Donations from local residents and community organizations throughout the year are paying for the safe storage and transport of the equipment which will be distributed amongst hospitals in Ghana. Fundraising events were held to raise these funds. This project is part of the charity work of Josie Quartson, founder of Upkeep and Support for West African Hospitals UK, a local charity. The charity is made up of teams of volunteers who work in the NHS and GP's surgeries across the district, and who collect discarded medical equipment for re-use.
