<div dir="auto">Galaxy watches with blood pressure is available in Sweden. I will check them out closer, could be not worth the bother if the accuracy is too low but I have not looked into them before.<div dir="auto">Will check that out today I think, are going to the local Megamall equivalent with the daughter today anyway.</div><div dir="auto">/Henrik</div><div dir="auto"> </div><div dir="auto">Now this problem is a good cause for me to get my own BP watch, I work with med tech problems daily.</div><div dir="auto">Med tech companies (USian and actually many many other, nationalities) are a constant pain in the bleep. GE for example are only talking to "world leading companies" when it comes to questions about cooperation or as simple as how does equipment X really work? As in, why do we get this strange behaviour in this circumstance? The answer is always: talk to the lawyer.</div><div dir="auto">Shut up and go away.</div><div dir="auto">And we did and GE was relieved from the onerous task of selling us anaesthesia machines for the whole region. Cheap solution for us. Quite many millions cheaper actually. </div><div dir="auto">And we now have Dräger Zeus instead and I for one welcome our new anaesthesia robot Overlords.</div><div dir="auto">German lawyers are "inspired" by their US counterparts but the engineers are not and the result is tolerable. Combine that with the most brave design decisions this side of the singularity and you get an anaesthesia station that enables you to reduce consumption of anaesthesia pharmaceuticals with 25%, that is if you are an uninterested user. For a top skill user the possibilities are even better.</div><div dir="auto">I now expect and demand from my personel that an bariatric surgery patient is able to give coherent answers before we have moved them from the OR table to their bed. And that the patient does most of the work moving.</div><div dir="auto">Aaand back to matter at hand, thanks to FDA, screw you, US won't see that machine for many years yet. Zeus contains several closed loop functions (autopilots) that controls gas management, ventilation control from tidal volume and CO2 goal range and a sophisticated real time simulation of effect organ concentration of anaesthetics, both target controlled pumps and anaesthetic gases.</div><div dir="auto">None of these really good functions are available in the US. </div><div dir="auto">Nor will it be, in any close time anyway since you would have to prove that it won't cause harm to the patient to use them. And and and and lots of depression ensues because proving that in a way that satisfy FDA is more than even a megacorp like Dräger can deal with. :(</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">//Henrik</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">Den tis 22 feb. 2022 18:16Brent Allsop via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> skrev:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><br><div>I HATE the FDA!! in the US.</div><div><br></div><div>As I diabetic they so screw up my life.
