OXI-MED

For quick and easy measurement of oxidative stress

• Easy application by merely using capillary blood
   

• Assessment of the redox potential according to the actual oxidative situation in the
   blood
   

• Comprehensive and informative evaluation software
   

• Low cost for consumables owing to a unique redox measuring pipette
   

• Measurements and evaluation in 60 seconds
   

• Very useful for clinics and pharmacies

Oxidative Stress

Oxidative stress may among other things be caused by:

• Environmental poisons (e.g. air-born toxins, heavy metals, insecticides, herbicides)
   

• Preservative agents
   

• Stimulants (alcohol and tobacco)
   

• Metabolisation of various medications (e.g. antibiotics, contraceptives)
   

• High performance sports (regeneration phase being too short)

Oxidative stress may be augmenting the risk of:

• Arteriosclerosis and coronary diseases of the heart
   

• Diabetes mellitus and its consequential diseases
   

• Neuro-degenerative diseases (e.g. Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease)
   

• Cancer and disorders of the immune system (e.g. M.E.)
   

• Early ageing
   

• Rheumatism

Free Radicals

Free radicals can damage the biochemical compounds in the human organism and thus may be causing mutations and malfunctions in the body cells.
 

Typical antioxidants (“scavengers”) against free radicals are:

• Vitamin A, C, and E
   

• Beta-Carotene
   

• Co-Enzyme Q10
   

• Flavonoids
   

• S-Acetylglutathions (SAG’s)
   

• Selenium, manganese, zinc
   

• Herbs, e.g. Ginkgo, Hawthorn, Colladeen, Pycnogenol

What is OXI-MED?

OXI-MED is a device for the measurement of the oxidative situation in the blood as an indicator of oxidative stress caused by an increased presence of fee radicals.

 The unit functions on the basis of the tried and tested Bio-Electronic Terrain Analysis (BE-T-A) according to Prof. L.C. Vincent which Med-Tronik established in the market as long as twenty-five years ago.

 The matter-unspecified measurement is carried out by determining the redox potential (in mV) in a tiny drop (20 µl) of capillary blood. The results are available within 60 seconds.
