Testimonials
"Over twenty years ago, as Technip’s Diving Operations Manager, I was instrumental in establishing early Tele-Med medical monitoring systems
across the Technip DSV Fleet. Back then, these systems were still early pioneering technology but provided some confidence that we could
maintain and provide safety-critical monitoring care to an injured diver in saturation at a remote, offshore location.
In 2012, as BP’s first Global Diving Technical Authority, I mandated the following requirements of every global saturation diving provider:
“All saturation diving operations shall have a proven system of medical support from within the saturation chamber complex through realtime online monitoring and satellite link to onshore specialist medical support. As a minimum, this shall include heart rate, blood pressure,
ECG, and video imaging. Medical personnel at the worksite are to be trained in its use and be familiar with its operation.”
DanMedical had been providing topside medical systems to rigs and vessels from 2006, and in 2012 their first saturation chamber-compliant
and compatible system was provided to a North Sea diving contractor for service on one of its DSVs. Currently, the DanMedical D-MAS
HyperSat systems provide the very latest innovative technology available to support diving operations and provide confidence at the
worksite that, in the event of an incident—and incidents do happen regardless of risk assessment control measures—divers will receive
prompt, effective, and professional medical support.
With the DanMedical D-MAS HyperSat systems globally available to you, ask yourself this question:
“How can your operational and project-specific risk assessments ever be at ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable) if you are working
with divers in saturation without this capability?”
Presently, my consulting work connects me with many different operators and diving contractors, reviewing, refreshing, and creating Diving
Safety Management Systems. While these systems are generally bespoke and tailored to client requirements, one constant remains:
the requirement for the type of support that the D-MAS HyperSat provides.
This requirement is unchallengeable and essential in the commercial diving world. Operate without it at your own risk. What would your divers
and life support personnel think of the diving contractor’s emergency medical support capabilities if a system is not provided for their safety
and welfare?"

"KBA Training Centre Pte Ltd started integrating the DanMedical D-MAS system and equipment into our IMCA Diver Medic Technician (IMCA DMT)
and IMCA Diver Medic Technician Refresher (IMCA DMTR) practical training since March 2024. This training brings commercial diver medic
training, and the awareness and competence to heighten levels when it comes to life saving methods and medical monitoring capabilities.
The DanMedical D-MAS system is not solely for commercial divers in emergency scenarios but should be used for monitoring routine health
checks as a preventative ‘tool’ to observe potential medical conditions and treatment of casualties before escalation and life-threatening
conditions. Using this system on the IMCA DMT and IMCA DMTR training provides new skills and knowledge, ensuring the offshore and
commercial diving industry has more trained and competent commercial divers who will be ready for emergency situations.”

"Investing in D-MAS isn’t just about buying a medical system - it’s a statement of values. It conveys a culture of deep commitment to
safety, responsibility, and the wellbeing of every worker. It shows that your company prioritises people, not just performance metrics.
The DanMedical D-MAS equipment is an essential element of our medical contingency plans. It provides vital patient data in real-time to onshore
medical professionals. The ability to control the D-MAS remotely and rapidly transfer patient files is a major advantage.
The D-MAS is invaluable for routine and emergency medical intervention for divers in saturation chambers as well as the whole of the ship’s crew.”
