ONKOCET Ltd. has exhibited the devices from its portfolio on the MEDTEC UK exhibition in Birmingham, April 2011 through our partner Medical & Partners.

The ONKOCET company has successfully reached the certification of yet another medical device, Infrared Camera SVIT. The Certificate can be found here. The videos from the device operation can be found here.
Our device, the non-invasive blood analyzer AMP has won the Golden Incheba prize at a medical exhibition SLOVMEDICA - NON-HANDICAP 2010. A big thank you goes to the organizers of the exhibition for acknowledging the quality of our device and to the exhibitor, the Medical & Partners company, for introduction of the AMP device to the medical public again.
You can find the certificate here.
Our company has finished the certification process for another medical device, computerized spirometer MAS-1K with oximeter. You can find the device certificate here.
Since May 2010 there is a new version of AMP device available.

Transcranial stimulation is electric stimulation of the brain through the skull cap. TES was first studied in 1902 by S. Leduc, a French researcher, to induce electronarcosis. This study was inspired by a rather a disputable assumption that pulsed electric stimulation of the brain might induce a narcotic state in humans and animals without undesirable side effects. The experimental basis of such assumption came from an inhibitory effect of electric pulses on conduction of peripheral nerves.
If this assumption were valid, TES-induced narcosis would be very attractive because electrical narcosis avoid toxic effects of narcotic drugs. It was suggested that electrical narcosis appears and disappears synchronously with electric stimulation on and off, and that it is free of any side effects.
The prospects of TES-induced narcosis seemed so promising that research on electrical narcosis was continued until the 1970`s. Electrical narcosis (later, electrical sleeping) was studied by physicians and engineers from France, Russia, the United States, and other countries. A number of scientific societies were founded. For example, the Neuroeletrical Society of the USA, the European Society of Electric Sleeping and Electroanalgesia, the All-Union Society of Electric Sleeping and Electroanalgesia. However, these societies came to virtual extinction when it had been shown that electrical sleeping is ineffective; transcranial electric narcosis closely resembles electro-shock, and it is rather dangerous.

In the 1970`s, there was a number of clinical trials of the TES-induced electroanalgesia. These tests gave rise to the technical requirements for the output signals of TES devices. The Electronarkon-1, LENAR, and their modifications were designed to meet these requirements.

It is interesting to note that although these devices were designed for electroanalgesia, their brand names are derived from the term narcosis. For example, in Russia, the abbreviation LENAR means therapeutic narcosis, despite the fact that this device was never intended to provide narcosis.
