INNOVATION
SLE Ltd (Inspiration Healthcare Group)
Inspiration Healthcare Group is a global provider of medical technology for use in neonatal care and operating theatres. The company provides high quality, innovative products through a network of distributors into over 75 countries, to patients around the world, which help to improve patient outcomes. This year, the Group is pleased to announce that SLE Ltd, its wholly owned subsidiary, has been awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise within the Innovation category.
SLE was given this award in recognition of its work in developing the SLE6000 infant ventilator with a closed-loop Auto-O2 software algorithm called OxyGenie®. OxyGenie controls the amount of oxygen in a baby’s blood within a narrowly prescribed range. This enables the oxygen concentration (SpO2) to be maintained for longer periods in a particular target range on a second- by-second basis, whilst lowering the amount of time needed by the caregivers to repeatedly monitor and adjust the SpO2. A range of built-in safety features also give additional peace-of-mind.

OxyGenie has been shown to be much more responsive and accurate in being able to maintain stable blood-level oxygen than previous systems. It was originally developed by the University of Tasmania in conjunction with the Royal Hobart Hospital, and the developers were looking for a way to introduce the system to a larger audience. Neil Campbell, CEO of Inspiration Healthcare Group says: “This is fantastic recognition for SLE which has been able to work with one of the leading neonatal research groups in the world, turning an innovative idea like Auto-O2

times, gaining speedy adoption by architects, engineers and applicators. Unlike alternative protective coatings, FIRETEX FX6002 can be applied off- site, enabling paint applicators to transport steelwork in a matter of hours rather than days – which means less downtime, fewer bottlenecks and faster project completion. “With FIRETEX FX6002 we have created a unique protective coating that is ideal for use in high-value infrastructure and construction projects,” says Ian Walker, Managing Director. “Key stakeholders can take advantage of a wide range of benefits throughout the project lifecycle, including time and cost savings, enhanced durability and aesthetically pleasing finishes.”
