HealthLink Europe is Helping TransMedics® Expand Its Presence Throughout Europe
Sat ,26/09/2009Business Wire, April 14, 2008
RALEIGH, N.C., and TILBURG, the Netherlands — HealthLink Europe, an ISO 13485 Medical Device Support Services and Distribution Company that has been providing European customer service and logistics support to the North American device industry since 1994, announced today that it is working with TransMedics[R] to help the company expand its presence throughout Europe. TransMedics has developed the world’s first commercial, portable, warm blood perfusion system for use in organ transplantation called the Organ Care System (OCS[TM]) –designed to maintain organs in a warm, functioning state outside of the body to optimize function and enable continuous clinical evaluation. As a result, hearts beat, lungs breathe, kidneys produce urine, and livers produce bile.
“HealthLink delivers our product to our customers in the quickest and most efficient manner possible,” says Elizabeth Ewaschuk, Director of Supply Chain for TransMedics. “They’re right there in Europe. They speak multiple languages, so they can communicate with our customers with ease no matter where in Europe they’re located. And when the call comes in, they have our product from their warehouse to our customer as soon as the customer needs it. That’s just one of the reasons why they are extremely important to us.

Since the workshop was first held in 1999, the application of verification, validation, and test to complex electronics circuits has grown considerably, and the workshop has kept pace by expanding from microprocessors to include all types of complex integrated circuits and systems-on-chips. The 18 studies–all revised from their actual presentation–cover multi-core verification, a sequential equivalence checking paradigm, debugging, power management verification, advanced verification methodologies, and delay fault testing. Particular discussions include vertical reuse strategy for testbench components supporting memory, mining unreachable cross-timeframe state-pairs for bounded sequential equivalence checking, abstraction as a practical debugging tool, applying verification collaterals for accurate power estimation, a hierarchy communication channel in a transaction-level hardware/software co-emulation system, and a deterministic methodology for identifying functionally untestable path-delay faults in microprocessor cores.

Portuguese Cities Install Luxeon LED based Street Lights
Type: News
The implementation of LED street lighting in Portugal has gathered pace over the summer as EnergiaViva has completed installations of the new UrbanLED street light in ten towns and cities.
Installation work in a further 20 Portuguese municipalities is expected to have been completed this fall.
The UrbanLED luminaires were introduced in April, when they were installed on a street in the Portuguese town of Pombal. The solution, which uses Luxeon Rebel power LEDs from Philips Lumileds, provide a combination of power efficiency, CRI, uniform light distribution and low maintenance and repair costs, according to the company
Major Investment
Fri ,25/09/2009Huddersfield Daily Examiner (Huddersfield, England), Sept 9, 2009
IT’S JUST over a year since major changes were made to our services for women and children.
In August 2008 consultant-led maternity care was centralised at Calderdale Royal Hospital along with inpatient paediatrics (children staying at least one night) and neonatal care for babies.
At Huddersfield Royal Infirmary a children’s assessment and observation unit opened and the Huddersfield Family Birth Centre became a “stand-alone” unit, with no other maternity services on the Huddersfield site. In the year since then 588 babies have been born there.
The new, improved Calderdale Birth Centre opened its doors at the beginning of August last year and in the first year 712 babies were born there.
The changes have led to: l Consultants and doctors spending more hours on the wards with women in labour, children and babies on the neonatal unit l An increase in one to one care during labour l A six per cent fall in the caesarean rate l A neonatal unit which is the most modern in Yorkshire and which continues to provide intensive care for very premature babies l Close working between specialist midwives, such as teenage pregnancy n LAST year we spent more than pounds 11 million on improvements to your hospitals and this year we plan to spend nearly pounds 14 million on further upgrade work.
The major schemes completed in 2008/9 included: l The new neonatal unit (for premature and very poorly babies), which is now the most modern in Yorkshire l Major refurbishment of ward 17 at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary (HRI), which now has single en-suite rooms l The new Calderdale Birth Centre l Re-roofing ward block 2 at HRI and other ward refurbishments in the hospital Work has already started on a major programme to update the lifts at HRI and this work will continue this year, as well as steps to upgrade the hospital’s boiler house and boiler.
We have also started on a major upgrade to ward 10 at HRI which will midwives, and the two birth centres l Birth centre midwives fully trained to carry out detailed examination of newborn babies l Active birth classes each week at Huddersfield Family Birth Centre for women planning to give birth at the centre and their partners l Sixty per cent of women using the birth pools for either labour or birth on the two units.
Consultant and head of the Trust’s have a pounds 2million transformation. The new design will mean the L-shaped ward will be at the forefront of ward design matching all the latest guidelines for privacy and dignity for patients and all infection control standards. It will have a mix of four-bed, two bed and single rooms with en-suite or specially designated bathroom areas.
It will also have environmentally friendly replacement windows to reduce heat loss and new low energy lighting.
children’s and women’s service, Martin De Bono, said: “We will appoint two more consultant obstetricians in January making the team 12 strong. Our future plans also include further improvements to community midwifery and a new high-risk antenatal clinic at Holme Valley hospital in Holmfirth
