Medical Systems

SPU(Medical)

This sub processor is designed to operate with all standard medical sensors, to act on and interpret the data, and control chemical delivery systems. It is often used in long term medical cases, where the patient can afford the luxury of the apparatus, and wishes to retain some mobility.

        Essence:        0.30
        Rating          Cost

Chemical Injector

Operated either by a medical timer, external radio signal, or a Medical SPU, this system is capable of delivering regulated, exact amounts of substance into the bloodstream. The most common uses are to deliver Insulin to Diabetic sufferers, or to deliver Anti-histamines to Allergy sufferers. The units are refilled by injecting the refill through the surface of the unit.

        Volume          Essence         Cost
        5 cc            0.05            500 nY

        50 cc           0.25            1,500 nY

MultiDispensor

Required cyberware for an Internal Medkit/Autodoc system. This is a dispensor and mixer for antidotes, antibiotics and other emergency related medical compounds. Game effects are as the Medkit (refer SRII Equipment section).

        Essence:        0.30
        Cost:           2,000 nY

Cardio-Vascular Monitor

This sensor suite monitors the users' Cardio-Vascular system, and provides data to either memory for later diagnostics, external link, or to a display link. Variables monitored include pulse rate, blood pressure, haemoglobin level, alcohol level, oxygen level, carbon dioxide level, glucose, insulin, and nitrogen levels.

        Essence:        0.30
        Cost:           5,000 nY

Blood Shunts

Upon a signal from the Medical SPU, this shunt will redirect blood to an alternative route. A typical use is to shunt blood away from major limbs when severe haemorraging occurs on that limb.

        Essence:        0.05 per shunt
        Cost:           1,000 nY

RAS Cutout

Similar to the Reticular Activation System Overrides found in Sense decks (ShadowBeat pg 80), this circuit when patched onto the central nervous system allows for the user's sensorium and voluntary motor control to be cut off completely. The user, unless assisted otherwise, is in a state resembling sleep, and is totally sensory deprived. The device is triggered by a signal from either short range signal, or other cyber device. Installation of this device is only permitted for legitimate medical or research purposes.

        Essence Cost:           0.40
        Price:                  8,000 nY

Sleep Inducer

Another dubious item of cyber, used in the medical research establishment. Consisting of inductors implanted at strategic places in the brain, this black box is capable of inducing any stage of sleep in the implantee, from shallow, REM or deep sleep, to extremely deep and coma-like conditions.

        Essence Cost:           0.20
        Price:                  5,000 nY

    >>>>>[ This is a simple advancement on the Sleep Inducers 
	   available to most medical facilities. This is a 
	   little more powerful in it's lullaby though. ]<<<<<
