Jet-M will provide non-traditional physicians, medspas, and para-medical practitioners, affordable, multi-function treatment procedures for the aesthetic market.(Please visit our website www.tav-tech.com)

Technology & Product(s)

Jet aviation engineering is being used by TavTech to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding aesthetic, skin care and wound management markets. TavTech’s patented technology creates a supersonic two-phase jet of micro-droplets consisting of saline solution and gas (air or medical gas) that is accelerated to velocities that reach 200m/sec., providing a versatile and precise means for performing a wide variety of skin treatments.
The pressure created by the high-velocity jet stretches the skin at the point of contact, causing “barophoresis” due to pressure variance; the skin in the high- pressure zone forms a concave surface and micro-canals in the outer layer of the skin broaden as the skin stretches and new canals are created. This process facilitates hydration, cleansing and purifying of the treated area, opens access to the skin’s inner layers, allowing for deeper penetration, and the introduction of vitamins, anti-aging and other solutions.

Itamar Medical Ltd., is a public traded (TASE: ITMR) bio-medical technology company. Itamar develops and markets noninvasive diagnostic medical equipment based on proprietary PAT™ (Peripheral Arterial Tone) Signal. The PAT™ Signal serves as a noninvasive window to the Cardiovascular and Autonomic Nervous Systems.
The PAT Signal is acquired by measuring pulsatile arterial volume changes in the fingertip by specialized noninvasive probes. Itamar’s FDA cleared & CE marked PAT-based products are:

• Endo-PAT2000: noninvasive, office-based, user-independent device for endothelial function assessment – the precursor (earliest clinically detectable stage) of cardiovascular disease.
• Watch-PAT200: ambulatory diagnosis of sleep related breathing disorders and sleep staging (Wake/REM/Deep sleep/light sleep stages).

Both devices are used in preeminent clinical institutions, research centers and Pharmaceutical clinical phase studies in over 40 countries which have yielded nearly 300 publications.

Technology & Product(s)

Sleep testing – at home

Considered “best in class”, WatchPAT (FDA cleared & CE marked) is a wrist mounted device for at-home testing of sleep apneas and sleep staging (REM/Deep Sleep/Light Sleep/Wake stages). WatchPAT also measures snoring & body position and provides a perfect combination of natural sleep at home with sleep-lab level data.
WatchPAT works without the multiple cables and electrodes needed by other technologies which provide in-depth analysis of sleep, so it has an incredibly low failure rate. Yet the physician gets a comprehensive report with all the clinical parameters needed for patient treatment and monitoring. While the data is calculated automatically by the WatchPAT’s software, the physician can easily edit the data too.

Noninvasive cardiovascular risk assessment

Atherosclerosis is the clinical manifestation of endothelial dysfunction. Leading the field of endothelial function assessment, EndoPAT (FDA cleared & CE marked) is used in pre-eminent clinical institutions, research centers and Pharma studies.

• Safer and reducing risk of contact or airborne infections.
• Easier to use,
• More cost-effective, and do not require external sterile environment.

Technology & Product(s)

The FirmGrip combines a standard PICC line-type catheter that is completely enclosed in a sterile silicon sleeve and PeelGuard™, a special silicone insertion unit. The sleeve creates a self-contained, sterile insertion field to form a 3D 360 maximum barrier.
This design has several advantages:

• Throughout the insertion procedure there is no possibility of touching or otherwise exposing the catheter.
• The system virtually eliminates blood backflow.
• The insertion procedure is safe, simple, can be done by a floor nurse and cost effective.
• The FirmGrip has IV dwell time for up to 29 days.

3QBD was founded in April, 2000 by two highly experienced professionals, Dr. Avraham Lorber and Dr. Zeev Karpas, who are well-known senior researchers at the Nuclear Research Center Negev (NRCN) in Israel both with over 30 years expertise in the field of biotechnology.
3QBD’s vision is to provide the field of Women’s Healthcare with a new diagnostic tool that will transform the health and well-being of women throughout the world. Today, with the 3QBD solution, the patented VGTest, women can receive improved healthcare as their physicians diagnose within 60 seconds their infections more accurately, more rapidly and with more precision – thus enabling correct immediate treatment.
Future development plans for 3QBD include expanding research further into the medical field, to detect additional infections and diseases, particularly in the field of oncology. Other applications for the technology area also envisaged for food and livestock.

Technology & Product(s)

IMS (Ion Mobility Spectrometry) Technology

3QBD’s technology is based on the well established and scientifically proven Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) technology – first used successfully to detect drugs and explosives. Today IMS is being used to detect the presence and type of infection.

Chemical changes in living systems, or degradation of cells after death through enzymatic and microbial processes, are accompanied by the breakdown of amino-acids and production of biogenic amines. Pathological conditions in the human body may be expressed in the formation of biogenic amines, so that elevated levels of biogenic amines may be indicative of dysfunctions. IMS is a sensitive instrumental technique for detecting volatile compounds. It is based on measuring the velocity of ions (ion mobility) drifting through a gas bath under the influence of an electric field.

The Product
VGTest is a novel, patented device that uses IMS technology to diagnose the three most common forms of Vaginitis: bacterial vaginosis, candidiasis and trichomoniasis. The device works by measuring the biogenic amines in the sample that are present at elevated levels when infections are present with results within one minute. In addition the VGTest test spares the physician from having to perform the Amsel Test and “whiff tests” of vaginal fluid.
