Mecta Mecta is an American corporation in Portland, Oregon, that makes and sells electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) machines. ==History== The Mecta ECT machine was developed at Custom Systems in Portland, Oregon, in 1973 by James Fling and the Custom Systems engineering staff, headed by Cliff Moulton. Paul Blachly of the University of Oregon Medical School was the instigator of the research and the medical advisor of the project. MECTA is an acronym for Monitored Electro Convulsive Therapy. Blachly wanted a device for the treatment of major depression unresponsive to pharmaceuticals that used minimal energy to induce a seizure. ECT machines of the time all used an excessive amount of jules (watt seconds) to achieve a seizure and Blachly believed them to be unsafe. 〔() Mecta ed site〕 Custom Systems was sold to Data Design Inc. in 1980. Data Design sold the product design and rights Of MECTA to Gorham and Robin Nicol in mid-1980. Blachly died in 1977. The design of the MECTA machine was altered after 1980.
