Hologic has received CE Mark for the Faxitron Path+ specimen radiography system, the latest addition to the Company’s growing portfolio of digital specimen radiography solutions.
The Faxitron Path+ system features a superior, high-resolution imaging detector which enables pathologists to image a wide range of specimens of varying sizes, including bone, foetal remains and breast tissue directly in the lab. By combining a larger field of view with intuitive, easy-to-use software, the system provides pathologists with accurate results in an efficient manner. Additionally, the clear specimen images produced enable pathologists to satisfy the regulatory demands for De-Calcification End Point testing.
The Faxitron Path+ system provides up to 10x geometric magnification, enabling imaging of small microcalcifications and ensuring accurate diagnoses. Optimal X-ray exposure settings can be selected regardless of specimen makeup and density to ensure the highest image quality is maintained. These features offer pathologists more versatile imaging options and help to reduce the Turn Around Time (TAT) for reports.

Fujifilm has launched the Mouthpiece “B1” developed to catch and reduce the droplets emitted by the patient during endoscopic examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract. The device helps to minimize the risk to healthcare workers and fellow patients from becoming infected with Covid-19 and various other pathogens.
The Mouthpiece “B1”, which incorporates a sponge rubber, a droplet reduction accessory and a drape shield, is placed in the patient’s mouth and fixed with a headband.
The accessory is easy to handle and does not inconvenience the patient when compared to using a standard mouthpiece. The accessory can be used with different types of endoscopes with various diameters, ensuring that there are no gaps between the endoscope and the mouthpiece.
The drape shield covers the patient’s face and shields healthcare workers from patients during peroral endoscopy, thereby reducing the risk of viral infection by way of droplet transmission.
It reduces the spread of aerosol droplets by incorporating sponges which have slits in the insertion part of the mouthpiece where the endoscope is introduced, this design ensures that there are no gaps between the endoscope and the mouthpiece.
The mouthpiece is designed with extra depth to create space between the face shield and the patient’s face to maximize air ventilation for the patient. It also reduces discomfort caused by covering the face with the shield.

Stryker has launched globally the industry’s first completely wireless hospital bed, ProCuity. This intelligent bed was designed to help reduce in-hospital patient falls at all acuity levels, improve nurse workflow efficiencies and safety, as well as help lower hospital costs. It is the only bed on the market that can connect seamlessly to nurse call systems without the use of cables or wires.
“Patient safety is at the foundation of everything we do at Stryker,” said Jessica Mathieson, VP/GM of Acute Care, Stryker. “Leveraging our long history in innovation, ProCuity is the culmination of years of extensive research and feedback from nurses and other healthcare professionals to create what is truly a ‘brilliance in a bed’ solution. It was designed to improve patient outcomes and assist caregivers for years to come.”
Set at an industry low height of 11.5 inches (29.2 cm), ProCuity is ergonomically designed with the latest technologies to promote safe patient handling and help reduce fall-related injuries, including intuitive patient positioning and bed alarms as well as ergonomic side rails. Helping to address nurse call cable connectivity issues, ProCuity can be equipped with fully wireless features. Additionally, the bed’s easy-to-use touchscreens and other key components makes the job of caregivers easier and more efficient, while providing for a more enhanced patient experience.
Specific key features of ProCuity include:
Completely Wireless:
ProCuity’s Secure Connect wireless solution makes it the only bed on the market that can connect without cables to nurse call systems. Additionally, with iBed Wireless, all bed data, including bed config-uration and exit alarm activity, are wirelessly compatible with facilities’ hospital information systems. To help give caregivers increased visibility to safe bed configuration and bed exit alarm activity, ProCuity can also integrate with Stryker’s optional patient-centric clinical dashboard, iBed Vision.
Ergonomic Side Rails:
Three-position Secure Assist side rails allow for easier patient entry and exit as well as nurse-patient interaction.
Intuitive Patient and Bed Monitoring Systems:
ProCuity’s exclusive Adaptive Bed Alarm uses load cell technology to sense a patient’s weight and will alert nurses if a patient is out of position or has left the bed. With ProCuity’s iBed Watch system, all operational aspects of the bed, from side rail positioning, head of bed angle and height, are monitored to ensure that it is always in a safe position for the patient. Caregivers are alerted immediately if any components are out of position.
Zoom Motorized Drive:
To help caregivers move patients safely and more efficiently, ProCuity Z and ZM models come complete with Zoom Motorized Drive, a motorcycle throttle-like touch handle that deploys the central fifth wheel. It also comes with one-touch electric brakes.
Standard, Customizable Platform:
From MedSurg units to the ICU, the ProCuity bed series is designed to meet all patient acuity levels. This helps make standardization across hospitals easier, while reducing hospital costs associated with renting specialty beds and the need for bed transfers and extra staff.
Enhanced Patient Experience:
To provide greater flexibility for taller patients, ProCuity has an integrated bed extender, which allows the bed to stretch an additional 12 inches (30.5 cm) in length. It also comes with a USB port and holder to allow patients to charge and store personal electronic devices like phones.
Guarantee Program:
Through Stryker’s Financial Guarantee program, the company promises customers will see a 50% reduction in bed-related falls occurring on Stryker beds utilizing iBed Wireless technology (terms and conditions apply).
