$100,000 Cash Lottery

Equipment Purchases

 
The 2011 $100,000 Cash Lottery proceeds will be allocated towards the purchase of new equipment for the Physical & Respiratory Therapy departments as well as the Laboratory.  Items to be purchased include a treadmill, parallel bars, pulmonary function system, coverslipper, defibrillator, and precision balance scale.

Ultrasound Machine for Medical ImagingThe 2010 $100,000 Cash Lottery will help fund the purchase of a new ultrasound machine for Medical Imaging. This ultrasound will improve vascular ultrasound studies at BUH and also means that many patients will not have to travel to another medical facility to have diagnostic procedures performed, ensuring quality healthcare is available close to home. 


 

Proceeds from the 2009 $100,000 Cash Lottery have been re-allocated towards the purchase of an ER Monitoring System.  This central monitoring system would replace using two pieces of equipment, a defribillator monitor and telemetry unit, to monitor patients with heart problems.  It is a brand new piece of equipment and would sync directly with the ICU so patient's information would transfer with the patient when they are moved.

The 2008 $100,000 Cash Lottery proceeds have been allocated towards a Triple Channel IV Pump for the ICU Department. The Triple Channel IV Pump will increase patient and staff safety, helping in patient transporting and mobilization. It also allows for the management of three medications with one pump.


Two departments benefitted from the proceeds of the 2008 $100,000 Lottery as a Mobile X-Ray Unit was purchased for Diagnostic Imaging, as well as an Ultrasound Stretcher, and a Fetal Monitor & Vital Signs Monitor were purchased for Women's Health & Birthing. All of these pieces will help to provide continued quality diagnosis and monitoring of patients in order to provide the best care possible.

BATC Lab cheque presentation Proceeds from the 2007 $100,000 Cash Lottery along with a $100,000 contribution from BATC CDC were allocated towards the purchase of new automated, integrated chemistry system formally known as the Roche Cobas 6000 system, for the Lab at BUH. This equipment will assist lab personnel to test up to 600 blood samples per hour, which is a significant increase over the current rate.

This new equipment also enables BUH Laboratory staff to keep up with the technological demand to provide more types of tests than are currently available. Test results are now available within 8 -12 hours, versus one week, allowing physicians and their teams to provide better patient monitoring.
