[Designing and manufacturing and supplying the instruments and equipment to medical facilities by ZAO "VNIIMP-VITA" RAMH in 2002 and 2003]. / Deiatel'nost' ZAO "VNIIMP-VITA" RAMH v oblasti razrabotki, proizvodstva i postavok v meditsinskie uchrezhdeniia priborov i apparatov v 2002 i 2003 gg.

Outlined in the paper are some essential aspects related with the activity results of the All-Russia Research Institute for Medical Instrument-Making Ltd. of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, as of the leading Russian institution in the field of medical instrument-making. Data are described on a variety of already manufactured and on some new medical equipment items now in the process of designing.

["Public Health-2001" exhibition: medical devices and apparatus]. / Vystavka: "Zdravookhranenie-2001." Meditsinskie pribory i apparaty.

The paper presents a review of medical devices and apparatuses displayed at the 11th International Exhibition "Public Health, Medical Equipment, and Drugs" ("Public Health-2001") in Moscow on December 3-7, 2001.

[Manufacture of electrocardiographs in the Russian Federation]. / Proizvodstvo élektrokardiografov v Rossiiskoi Federatsii.

The paper considers the state of Russian electrographic technology in Russia and gives examples of its electrocardiographic apparatuses, among which there are electrocardiographs in common use and cardiac complexes that have extended functional capacities.

[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.

[Improved method of determining the complex index of the technical level of medical equipment and apparatus]. / Uluchshennyi metod opredeleniia kompleksnogo pokazatelia tekhnicheskogo urovnia meditsinskikh priborov i apparatov.

Considerable drawbacks have been found in examining the well-known methods of determining the complex indices of the product technical level. The widely used method of calculating the complex index of the technical level as the arithmetic mean of separate indices gives comparatively accurate results only in the narrow range of identical single indices. Comparing the product indices with those of the standard specimen and vice versa gives incompatible results. The proposed method of calculating the complex index based on determining the relative deviations of indices from their mean value has significant advantages as compared to the considered method and can be recommended for the evaluation of the technical level of medical equipment.
