The votes were collected through an Internet-based questionnaire posted throughout the whole year of 2004. Voters comprised readers of the Medical Review, who are mainly professionals working in hospitals or clinics in the healthcare sector, and who are existing and potential users of the nominated products. Other award winners were medical products, for example, PENDRA – a non-invasive device for constant glucose level monitoring.
The CT400 prints using either direct thermal or thermal transfer technology at a print quality of 203dpi or 305dpi and print speed of 150mm/sec or 100mm/sec respectively. It is also classified as a semi-industrial printer as it can print a few thousand labels per day. The SATO CT400 printer is an ideal solution for labelling blood samples in laboratories, both in hospitals and in sanitary-epidemiological centres. It performs well in a medical centre for the labelling of medical equipment, and for the printing of prescriptions and pharmacy stock control documents. It is also recommended for the printing of wristbands for patient identification. Wristbands enable patient movement tracking within the clinic and help to eradicate mistakes in drug administration or blood transfusions. Patient identification helps also to monitor treatment regimes and precisely track treatment costs. As a part of a hospital management system, the CT400 helps in financial and overall hospital management, especially in meeting ISO requirements.
