[Standardization and testing of medical devices]. / O standartizatsii i ispytaniiakh meditsinskikh izdelii.

The role of standardization of medical devices within the system of health care of the Russian Federation was analyzed in the article. The results of activities of technical committees for standardization as well as the list of the mentioned devices compatible with the international standards are presented. Lists of attested and etalon application means and equipment designed for examinations of different types are equally described.

[Development of standardization and certification of the quality of medical devices]. / Razvitie standartizatsii i sertifikatsiia kachestva meditsinskikh izdelii.

Some issues of harmonization of the Russian standards for medical articles with the international standards, including the European Engineering Legislation are considered. Under the present conditions, the rules and procedures of certification of medical articles are associated with the consumer quality controlling system. A list of new Russian standards in the above area is given.

[Medical-technological equipment of nonphysician monitoring of health status]. / Mediko-tekhnicheskoe obespechenie vnevrachebnogo monitorirovaniia sostoianiia zdorov'ia cheloveka.

Extrahospital monitoring of the body's status is an effective method for health promotion of man and the general population. The paper presents medical engineering rationale for the software of health monitoring under different conditions, identifies three base-line configurations of these complexes: for use in health institutions: for that in the institutions lacking permanent medical staff; for individual and familial use.

[Theoretical bases and software application of planimetric analysis of real-time cardiac signals]. / Teoreticheskie osnovy i programmnoe voploshchenie konturnogo analiza kardiosignalov v real'nom masshtabe vremeni.

The paper presents an algorithm of partial and complete morphological analysis of cardiac signals in real time. Linear selective transformation is the key procedure that precedes and creates prerequisites for morphological analysis of cardiac signals in real time.

[The status of and problems in the development of Russian medical instrument making]. / Sostoianie i problemy razvitiia otechestvennoi meditsinskogo priborostroeniia.

Recently, there have been great changes in the nomenclature of manufactured medical equipment (ME) items and hence there is a considerable renewal of products due to the fact that a lot of conversed enterprises of the military-industrial complex (MIC) have settled down in producing ME. By and large, the output of new ME items is 37% of their total medical instrument making nomenclature. Thus, in 1988 the proportion of the items was 35% of the total output of medical devices and apparatuses while in 1995 it is 65%. The output and technical level of some extremely complex ME items, Russian devices for hemodialysis and extracorporeal circulation have been increased. The Russian enterprises have designed and are manufacturing diagnostic nuclear magnetic systems, pulse oximeters, Billitest bilirubin meters, complex laboratory sets for radioimmunochemical assay, a G202-5 lit-par-lit scanning complex, Mammodiagnost apparatus, new Roentgen-48 and Roentgen-60 X-ray complexes, etc. The paper gives specific examples how a number of medical devices and apparatuses are designed and launched into production at the electronic and radio industrial and MIC enterprises.

[Automated ultrasonic diagnostic systems for outpatient clinics]. / Avtomatizirovannye ul'trazvukovye diagnosticheskie kompleksy dlia ambulatorno-poliklinicheskikh uchrezhdenii.

Some ways to improve informative capacity of ultrasonic diagnostic examinations are discussed, and their application in an extended network of outpatient clinics by using the state-of-the-art automated devices, microcomputers and microprocessors in particular, are considered. Possible approaches to automating ultrasonic diagnostic examinations are analysed, and requirements for hardware and software of ultrasonic complexes are specified. A configuration structure of complexes for processing monodimensional and bidimensional echo signals is presented.

[Structure of an automated management system for the medical technology activities of the polyclinic]. / Struktura avtomatizirovannoi sistemy upravleniia meditsinskimi tekhnologicheskimi protsessami polikliniki.

Block diagrams of building an automated control system for management of operational processes in an outpatient clinic are analysed.

[Automation of the technological medical process in ambulatory polyclinic and hospital establishments]. / K voprosu ob avtomatizatsii medistinskogo tekhnologicheskogo protsessa v ambulatorno-poliklinicheskikh i bol'nichnykh uchrezhdeniiakh.

Now, the creation of automated instruments, apparatus and systems providing complex instrumentation of medical technological processes in ambulant-polyclinical and hospital centers became the main line of the medical technique's development. Primary problems and objects of automation are determined from the proposed models of managing the treatment and diagnostic processes in these establishments.

[Aspects of providing the equipment for mass screening systems for the early detection of oncological diseases]. / Aspekty tekhnicheskogo osnashcheniia sistem massovykh osmotrov dlia rannego vyiavleniia onkologicheskikh zabolevanii.

An optimal modification of the patients flow arrangement is offered for more convenient form and methods of the population screening for malignant tumours and precancerous diseases, aided by medical and computer techniques. A scheme of the mass-screening system and principal aspects of technical provision particularly for oncological screening are presented.

[Frequency transducer for magnetic recording of bioelectrical processes]. / Chastotnyi preobrazovatel' dlia magnitnoi registratsii bioélektricheskikh protsessov

In conducting electrophysiological and medical investigations, in registration of bioelectric processes in particular, various types of converters permitting notation of bioelectric signals can be used with an ordinary tape recorder instead of costly magnetic registrators. A frequency converter with whose help it is possible to register bioelectric processes in a frequency range of 0.1 to 10(3) Hz with a conversion error of not more than 1.5 per cent is proposed.
