IMPORTANT / URGENT CIRCULAR
Dear Members,
It has come to our notice that some SUB STANDARD Oxygen Concentrators and Pulse Oximeters are being sold in the market. Certain videos are also viral these days showing Oxygen purity at 30% or 40% in Oxygen Concentrators and Pulse Oximeters showing SpO2 level of around 95% even when a pencil or biscuit is inserted instead of finger.
All members are requested to please sell all products of good quality and do not indulge in sub standard or spurious products. It would be further advised to take this matter seriously as the government is likely to initiate a crackdown on importers / dealers / stockists of such spurious pulse oximeters and oxygen concentrator.
This advisory is being issued as to warn our members to safeguard themselves and in interest of the public / users.
Best Regards,
For The Surgical Manufacturer & Trader Association,
(Puneet Bhasin)
Hony. Secretary -SMTA
