Computerized system for the networking of health services (Proposed solution for the informational support of the health insurance law in Romania).

The integration of health services in the health insurance system can only be performed by using an advanced informational system, due to the large volume of documents needed for the payment of medical services by the health insurance firms.

These networks are connecting through the Internet which can be describe as a network of networks that permits long range communication.

Leak detection and low level monitoring of halogenated anesthetics.

Halogenated compounds used in anesthetics are generally detected and monitored by gas chromatography or infrared analysis. For a quick, reliable, and economical method of detecting these compounds, the HLD-440 leak detector proved to be effective. The instrument is simple to calibrate and operate. It is safe and is capable of detecting halogenated anesthetics in concentrations at least as low as 2 parts per million.
