Cleo resume activity 1000, the first digital audiometer built in Peru

technology health service has always led to improved patient care and in some cases, find the cure to diseases that have plagued mankind. Although in our country's scientific research has not progressed at an accelerated pace in recent years is commendable efforts are already bearing fruit.

This is the case of CLEO 1000, the first audiometer Digital built by a Peruvian company (now only imported medical equipment in the country), which unlike conventional audiometers, has a higher percentage of software in its composition (30% 70% hardware and software), a feature that allows for more precision, dynamism and efficiency into the system.

CLEO 1000 was developed in the Bioengineering Laboratory Lolimsa company, and is a project which included the contribution of the Peruvian State through the Fund for Science and Technology (FYNCT), whose total investment reached S /. 1 '500, 000, of which S /. FINCYT 600 000 came from. Gustavo

Astorquiza

As indicated, engineer in charge of product development "this audiometer is capable of emitting predetermined frequencies, unlike those that are purely hardware audiometers, where the frequencies are established and there is little ability to vary them." That is, you can almost instantly create new audiometric tests Â-according to the medical necessity of frequencies that can be scaled with differences of 1 hertz. "He can not make any other audiometer in the market. The conventional reach resolutions to differences of 100 hertz or maybe more, but can not make more specific ranges."

Why is better the greater dynamism that allows CLEO 1000? Through the audiometer hearing is measured from the patient and establish what are the ranges and specific parameters that must be headphones for people with hearing impairments. With the dynamism of the digital audiometer, you get a better consolidation of parameters to adjust the hearing aid patients. Technological intelligence

Using the software, which is supported by the audiometer, you can develop some kind of intelligence based on audiometric information. And is that the results of audiometry are incorporated into the medical records of patients in real time, allowing the development of a database to collect all data of a patient, and a group of patients given area.

This allows more easily audiometric information specific groups, grouped by location, gender, or comorbidities. In that sense, CLEO 1000 can be the basis for advanced audiometric investigations.

Milestone in medical technology Peruvian

Why develop a digital audiometer in Peru marks a milestone in medical technology in the country? As noted by Rolando Liendo, chief executive of Lolimsa, "only 0.15% of GDP in Peru is intended for investment in technology, while that in the whole region (South America), the figure is 1% of GDP, and Europe to 2% of GDP. "And in our country, to say the executive," there is no medical technology, much less hardware, all medical equipment is imported.

In that sense Lolimsa bet with the CLEO 1000, seeks to promote the development of medical technology in the country, and encourage similar initiatives.

Lolimsa is a company with a internationally renowned in the health sector. Its technology solutions belong to the ERP2: specialized and targeted for hospital management, pharmaceutical, and medical laboratories. has been install its technology solutions in 10 countries in Latin America, including hospitals, clinics, medical centers, chain pharmacies and clinical laboratories.

2008 was inaugurated bioengineering where production began medical equipment which is completely managed by software. Audiometers, spirometers and simulators for first aid, are the first teams in production.

The company is certified CMMI Level 3 and has been recertified to ISO 9001:2000 as much as 7 times.
