Way forward
As per Prof Alok Dhawan, Director,
IITR, the product fully developed
would entirely disrupt the existing
technology of autoclave. “OptiMaser
consumes 1/10th of the power
with Zero Emission... mobile.. and
completely destroys all harmful
bacteria instantly, he said.
Test runs for the aforesaid cycles
would be initiated in July 2017
with ethical validation proposed
from leading institutes in India,
Singapore and Europe.
While OptiMaser has been
developed in collaboration with the
Government of India, its injunction
as a policy prescription is still
pending. The company therefore
expects following from the
government that the OptiMaser be
made mandatory for “Kaya Kalp”. It
must be made mandatory instead of
autoclave in all HCFs having more
than 100 beds across the country.
The company also has requested
the mandate for MEA (Ministry
of External Affairs) grant-in-aid

break through. It expects R&D
funds allocation for development
of microwave technology under
CITAR as well.
