About us
The company RECO was founded by Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Rentsch in 1946. In the beginning the profile was based on conventional medicine technique like HF heat therapy. At first the main attention was focused on short wave therapy, which was later substituted by microwave therapy devices. Even the urodynamic base diagnostic and the photometry for water analysis have played an important role. Furthermore equipments for special analysis' in the UV range were developed and produced. Also there have been some developments in the field of cardiovascular diagnostics. Our products have a long historical background and they are, partly, still manufactured or adapted on special requests (OEM production).

- Cooperation with the Bergakademie Freiberg in the field of mountains pressure research by using the oscillographic short time measuring technique within the years 1950 to 1957.
- In this period of time ultrasound test instruments for the strength test of concrete were developed too, milliseconds-fuse equipment for the blowing up in quarries and of ruins as well as ammunition locators.
- 1958 to 1960: development of the circulation controlling device PHYSIOMAT (blood pressure measurement and registration in connection with the recording of the respiratory rate and body temperature).
- The TOKOGRAPH (equipment for recording the uterus contraction) was developed in the year 1982.
- Also 1982: Start of the production of chlorine photo metres, followed by glucose photo metres.
- Development of the UROFLOW recorder in cooperation with the medical academy of Dresden in 1983 and production.
- We could offer the S-T segment analyser for cardiological diagnostics in 1984.
- 1988: The cooperation with a well-known West German enterprise for medicine technique starts, at first in the field of the metrological conversion in the pacemaker therapy with physiological adaptation to the individual heart rate.
- 1989/1990: Political and economic change in the former GDR.
- 1991/1992: Further development of the photo metre and the Uroflow recorder, development of the microwave therapy device RECOMED as well as the ECG unit BIOSCOPE.
- Completion of the medicine technique programme by the revolution counter SRA-2 for exhaust gas examinations on internal combustion engine powered vehicles as OEM production for a large service accessories company in 1994/1995.
- Development of the cheap anaesthesia monitor BIO-3 BIO-3 (ECG and oxygen saturation).
- Development of the patient monitor VITASCOPE in the year 2000.
- The approved anaesthesia monitor BIO-3 is followed by the new BIO-3A (ECG and oxygen saturation) in the beginning of 2005.
