Cannula site stitcher is a reusable instrument that is used for rapid closure of the deep layers of ten millimeter or larger cannula tracts. It can be used to place figure of eight sutures to control bleeding and place purse string sutures. It can be easily disassembled and re-assembled for cleaning.

Capillary Blood Collection Tubes are 100% plastic capillary blood collection systems. Capillary collection tubes are pre-assembled with a capillary tube, attached cap and a micro tube. The capillary tube uses capillary action to draw the blood into the micro tube, which eliminates the tendency for scooping.

Identification. A capillary blood collection tube is a plain or heparinized glass tube of very small diameter used to collect blood by capillary action.

Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to 864.9.

Capnograph is an instrument used to measure the carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in an air sample. A capnograph is useful in detecting changes in carbon dioxide concentrations in patients who are hemodynamically stable. The capnograph displays a waveform of CO2 and displays the value of the CO2 at the end of exhalation, which is known as the end-tidal CO2. The capnograph is the gold standard for detecting oesophageal intubation.

Carcinoembryonic Antigen test measures the amount of a protein that appear in the blood of some people who have certain kinds of cancers, especially large intestine cancer. Carcinoembryonic antigen is a glycoprotein involved in cell adhesion. Carcinoembryonic antigen is an antigen present in very small quantities in adult tissue. This is a tumor marker that is associated with metastasis.

Cardiac monitoring is one of the most valuable diagnostic tools in modern medicine. It is essential if disorders of the cardiac rhythm are to be recognized. It can help with diagnosis and can alert healthcare staff to changes in the patient's condition. Cardiac monitoring is required in a variety of clinical situations including: chest pain; myocardial infarction; shock; heart failure; palpitations; history of syncope; and during CPR. It provides a continuous display of the patient's ECG.

CDX Modular Automation is designed for contingency operations through duplication of instruments and the ability to operate the instruments separately from the track. Its features include automated specimen retrieval for repeat, reflex and add-on testing, maximized primary tube sampling reduces aliquotting, flexibility for pre and post-analytical sample sorting and manages STAT samples independently from routine samples.

Cell washer is ideal for blood bank cell washing and blood tube centrifugation. It is used to wash blood cells for antiglobulin reagent tests such as ABO compatibility, Rh testing, cross matching and the Coombs procedure.

Cell Washing System is ideal for the viral application. Cell washing system features a flow meter that electronically provides precise saline fills.

Cement Autoclave consists of a welded steel cylinder with bolted cover mounted on a sturdy supporting frame and enclosed in a heat insulated metal housing. The unit is designed to handle pressure in the 60-350 psi (0.4 -2.4 MPa) range and consists of steam vessel, pressure regulator, pressure gauge (0-600psi), air vent valve, power switches and a safety pop valve set at 350 psi. It includes thermometer, wrench and gaskets.

Centrifuge is a piece of equipment, which is driven by a motor, that puts an object in rotation around a fixed axis, applying force perpendicular to the axis. The centrifuge works using the sedimentation principle, where the centripetal acceleration is used to separate substances of greater and lesser density. Centrifuges are used in biology & biochemistry for isolating and separating biomolecules, cell organelles or whole cells.

Chemical sterilizer is an apparatus that contains chemical agents that sterilize implements by destroying living microorganisms. It is used for sterilizing objects by vaporizing a liquid chemical sterilant in a sterilizing chamber. Pre-evacuation of the sterilizer chamber enhances the sterilizing activity. Sterilant is injected into the sterilizer chamber from a prefilled shot chamber. Subsequent to the exposure period, spent sterilant is condensed and fresh air is pumped into the sterilizer chamber from a vacuum pump.

Identification. An ethylene gas sterilizer is a nonportable device intended for use by a health care provider that uses ethylene oxide (ETO) to sterilize medical products.

Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Chemiluminescent Kits are designed for the non-radioactive detection of nucleic acids and proteins. Chemiluminescent kits provide sensitivity equalling radioactive detection, without the hazard and disposal concerns. These kits measure real-time production of free radicals and reactive oxygen-containing species.

Chemistry Analysis refers to determining the concentration or activity of a protein, carbohydrate, lipid, electrolyte, enzyme or small molecule in easily-collected bodily fluids such as blood, serum, plasma or urine. Chemistry analyzers are used to measure concentrations of specific substances by analyzing color changes and other phenomena that occur when reagents are added to specimens of blood, urine or other materials. These systems are used to diagnose many diseases, including liver conditions such as hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver and fatty liver as well as gout and kidney stones.
