KINDLY ASSESS THIS DEVICE YOURSELF AND OPINE / HELP ASOLUTION????????

PLEASE IMPACT THE BELOW INFORMATION &

STRONGLY UNDERSTAND THE SILENT OBSERVER DEVICE SIOB BASICALLY:-

SIOB IS A SEPARATE VIDEO RECORDING DEVICE WITH A 250GB HARD DISC (As mentioned on its website) EXTERNALLY connected to the USG MACHINE vide a VIDEO IN & OUT CABLE.

ITS PRICE DECLARED AND CHARGED BY THE COLLECTOR IS 39.5K OUT OF WHICH 28.5K HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM US USG CENTRE HOLDERS LAST APRIL 2010 SAYING THAT IT WOULD BE REFUNDED ONCE THEY RECEIVE FUNDS FROM GOVT.

TILL DATE MONEY NOT REFUNDED AND WHEREAS COLLECTOR ALREADY RECEIVED 49 + LAKHS FOR THE SAME PROJECT FROM ANOTHER GOVT. PROJECT FINANCE SCHEME ALMOST ABOUT 8 MONTHS BACK NOW.

ON ITS FRONT SIDE IT HAS ONLY A SEPARATE POWER ON / OFF BUTTON.

IF YOU SWITCH IT OFF THE USG MACHINE DOES NOT SWITCH OFF???????????? PLEASE TAKE SERIOUS NOTE………………

ON ITS BACK SIDE IS HAS,

1. TWO EMPTY USB PORTS – WHETHER DATA COLLECTED AND INSERTED ON A COMPUTER FOR VISUALIZING IS LEGALLY VOID AND PERMISSIBLE AS EVIDENCE PROOF IN SUSPECTED CRIME CASES.
2. ONE EMPTY ETHERNET PORT.
3. ONE VIDEO IN / OUT CABLE PORT.
4. ONE DC CABLE PORT.

PLEASE NOTE:

THE DC CABLE PLUG IS CONNECTED TO AN EXTERNAL ELECTRICAL BOX WHERE EVEN THE DC CABLE PLUG OF THE USG MACHINE IS CONNECTED.

THE EXTERNAL ELECTRICAL BOX CABLE PLUG IS CONNECTED TO A COMMON POWER PLUG POINT.

HOWEVER, USG MACHINE AND SIOB BOTH HAVE THEIR OWN SEPARATE POWER ON / OFF SWITCHES EMBEDDED ON THEM.

USG MACHINE ADDITIONALLY HAS A FREEZE / PAUSE BUTTON. 

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT NO INTERNET CONNECTION.

NO COLLECTION OF DATA FROM SIOB UNTIL RECIEVAL OF DOUBTFUL INFORMATION.

COLLECTION OF DATA TILL DATE DONE BY MAGNUM OPUS ENGINEERS THAT TOO VIDE PEN DRIVES.

PLEASE ALSO REMEMBER SIOB HAS 25OGB HARD DISC.

IN APRIL – MAY 2011:-

TWO DOCTORS PRACTICING ON THE PERIPHERY OF KOLHAPUR CITY WERE RAIDED AND CRIME WAS LODGED & PROVED AGAINST THEM FOR SEX SELECTIVE ABORTION                           (FIRST GENDER DETERMINATION & THEN ABORTION) USING THE SILENT OBSERVER - SIOB AND THAT TOO WERE CAUGHT AFTER THE ABORTION CONDUCTED????????????????????

THEN WHAT IS THE USE OF SUCH A STUPID SENSELESS DEVICE WHICH IS ALLOWING THE USG HOLDERS TO LEGALLY PERFORM MALPRACTICE.

KINDLY UNDERSTAND THAT RULE 9 OF THE ACT PROVIDES TO STORE SONOGRAPHIC PLATES / SLIDES WHICH CLEARLY INDICATES STATIC IMAGES WHICH IS ROUTINELY ISSUED TO PATIENTS ALONG WITH THEIR REPORTS.

IT DOES NOT PROVIDE TO STORE VIDEO RECORDINGS OF ALL CASES STUDIES.

AND THAT TOO OF ALL PATIENTS WHO MAY UNDERGO OR MAY BE UNDERGOING FOR ANY PART OF THE HUMAN BODY.

THIS IS ALL DONE WITHOUT ANYONES neither (PATIENTS NOR RELATIVES) CONSENT.

DOES IT NOT AMOUNT TO BREACH IN PATIENT – DOCTORS RELATION PRIVACY BY LEAKING MEDICAL INFORMATION?????????????????

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE IF PATIENT FILES FIR / COMPLAINT AGAINST DOCTOR FOR BREACHING HIS / HER PRIVACY?????????????

ARE MALES ANYWHERE CONCERENED TO THIS PC PNDT ACT?????????? THEN WHY ARE THEY BEING EXPOSED???????????

IS AN ULTRASOUND MACHINE INDICATED FOR ONLY EXAMINING PREGNANY WOMEN?

THEN WHY IS THE ACT LIMITING SCOPE OF THE MACHINE?

WHY SHOULD VIDEO RECORDINGS OF PATIENTS UNDERGOING USG FOR STUDIES SUCH AS NEONATE BRAIN, OPHTHALMIC, THYROID, PAROTID, CAROTID, ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, CHEST, GENERAL ABDOMEN AND PELVIS, SCROTUM, PERIPHERAL VASCUAL DOPPLER STUDIES, SOFT TISSUES, ARTICULAR JOINTS, GASTRO INTESTINAL TRACT, ENDO RECTAL, ENDOVAGINAL,  ETC. ETC. STUDIES  BE BROUGHT UNDER THE SCANNER OF PC PNDT ACT?????????????

IS THERE ANY SENSE AT ALL?????????????????

ENACTMENT OF MODIFICATIONS AND RE AMENDMENTS IN THE PRESENT ACT HAS BECOME VERY NECESSARY TODAY TO BRING SOME CONTROL ON SUCH LIMITATIONS WHICH ARE CHALLENGING THE EXISTENCE OF CRITICAL CARE SONOGRAPHY (Including Mobile Sonography) AND ROUTINE PORTABLE SONOGRAPHY. 

WHILE READING THE DATA FROM THE SILENT OBSEVER ALL VIDEO DATA WILL BE OPENED AT A TIME AND THEREAFTER EACH AND EVERY PATIENT DATA NAMEWISE WILL HAVE TO BE SCROLLED THROUGH IN ORDER TO REACH THE SUSPECTED CASE DATA?????????

WHILE EXAMINING DATA FROM THE SIOB OF AN ANTENATAL EXAMINATION CASE VIDEO RECORDNG WILL SHOW THE VIDEO OF THE FULL STUDY INCLUDING SPECIFIC EXAMINATION OF THE GENITAL AREAS WHICH IS  MANDATORILY DONE AS A PART OF ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION AND AS A PRIME INDICATION TO RULE OUT ANY CONGENITAL ANOMALIES AND AT THE SAME TIME AS A CROSS SECTION TO ASSESS THE FEMUR LENGTH.

WILL THAT MEAN THAT JUST BY SEEING THAT VIDEO RECORDING WHICH IN FACT WILL BE SEEN IN EACH AND EVERY ANTENATAL CASE EXAMINATION DONE ON THE ULTRASOUND MACHINE AND THOSE SPECIFIC IMAGES THE USG HOLDER WILL BE RATHER COULD BE RAIDED / ALLEGED FOR PERFORMING A CRIME???????????????

THIS IS MERE STUPIDITY AND A MASSIVE INSULT TO THIS RADIOLOGY PROFESSION, ITS SPECIALITY AND MORESO TO THE SPECIALIST ADVANCED FUNCTIONS OF THIS ULTRASONOGRAPHY MACHINE.
