Chronology of the production of Intensive Care Units

Czech industrialist František Michera laid the foundations of machinery production in Stara Tura. New factory focusing on production of components for water meters and gas meters was established. Manufacture of injection technique from a disposed factory Injecta Kraslice in the Czech border region was delimited to the factory in Stara Tura. Its product range has gradually expanded to include sterilization, inhalation and investigative techniques, surgical instruments and other medical equipment products. Under the former name of Precise Mechanics - PREMA Stara Tura the factory reached one of the first international successes at the World Expo in Brussels (Grand Prix was awarded to its world novelty - Big bronchoscopic set). All the factories of medical devices production located in former Czechoslovakia were integrated into one holding company under the brand CHIRANA with its headquarter in Stara Tura. After launching of the first anaesthesia unit produced in Stara Tura in 1968 there was followed very dynamic growth in area of breathing and anaesthesia devices production. The CHIRANA Stara Tura company introduced progressively to the market devices for inhalation anaesthesia (N5, N6 also known as Vatra, Anestar N7, Anemat N8, MTL2...), devices for artificial ventilation of lungs (series Chirolog, ODA-E, or civil version of EDAM...) and devices for functional diagnostics of lungs (Chiraspir and electronic version Chiradat).
