The device has various functions including non–invasive blood pressure function for infants to adults. The devices are for oscillometric measurement of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and mean arterial pressure values as well as pulse rates. The devices are also used to measure oxygen saturation level in blood through skin. The devices have several other useful features that help improve patient treatment capabilities. The Company decided to donate one of such devices worth Baht 100,000 to the hospital. The Company also donated cash totaling Baht 60,000 for charity to the Thai Red Cross Fair, the Kathin ceremonies, and the run charity event by the Children’s Hospital
