ANNOUNCES THUMPER AVAILABILITY

 

SA, in conjunction with Michigan Instruments, developed a new cryonics
thumper design over the past year, the development cost of which was
paid by SA. This unit is based on the previous generations of Michigan
Instruments Thumpers but is significantly enhanced and more suited to
cryonics operations.  This Thumper (which is for use in cryonics
applications only and is not approved for use on live human patients)
combines Dual Action ACD operation and respiration integration in a
clamp-over design that simplifies operation in an ice bath or on a
gurney. The design attaches to either a base plate upon which the
patient resides or side rail clamp that can fasten it to the rails on
the standard SA PIB, a gurney, or other rail structure. When using the
side rail clamp, the entire thumper swings up and out of the way while
the patient is transferred and then swings down and is locked in place
over the patient in one simple motion. The unit does not extend beyond
the confines of the PIB so that it does not present a problem when
passing through doorways. The design accommodates very large persons as
well as small ones and has very simple stroke depth, decompression
force, and ventilation volume controls. Lastly, it operates either in
continuous mode or in a 5:1 respiration sequence. 

 

SA will demonstrate this PIB to anyone who is interested in considering
one. The unit is pictured on our website at www.suspended.org

If you are interested in either inspecting the Thumper or ordering with
us, please contact us by e-mail at   We have
arranged a one time introductory quantity discount of 25% to the normal
unit list price for the Thumper, if ordered in a quantity of 10 or more
units. We are proposing to bundle multiple purchases to obtain this
initial price for everyone interested. If you are interested in
inspecting and operating the device we welcome any visitors to our
offices for a participating demonstration. SA makes absolutely nothing
on this initial sale offer, but is providing the cost saving opportunity
to all cryonics activities equally as part of its continuing plan to
support the entire cryonics industry ecumenically.
