MiniCollect® PIXIE is a safety lancet for the heel designed to enhance safety during capillary blood collection from the heel of the youngest patients. With a shallow penetration depth, PIXIE nevertheless gently ensures maximum blood flow. This product is ideal for premature and new-born babies. Three different PIXIE safety lancets are available for heel incision, each adapted to a different stage of infant development. The depth of penetration and the length of incision differ depending on the selected device. Thanks to optimal ergonomics and the fully enclosed blade, MiniCollect PIXIE can enhance safety during capillary blood collection.
When MiniCollect PIXIE is positioned on the heel, the dual colour design, together with the arrows on both sides, allow a precise identification of the puncture site.
MiniCollect offers a gentle way to collect small blood samples for analyses.
The system is perfectly suited for young children, geriatric patients as well as patients with fragile veins. MiniCollect is also recommended in situations where venous blood collection proves particularly difficult or contraindicated.
For delicate vein conditions, patients who often have blood samples taken, or people with severe burns, capillary blood collection with the MiniCollect system offers a great alternative to venous blood collection.
The MiniCollect tube includes an integrated scoop, allowing droplets of blood to be collected easily and hygienically. To ensure that the puncture wound can be kept as small as possible while achieving the targeted sample volume there are different lancets with a wide range of puncture depths and blade sizes / needle gauges available.
The Carestream DRX-Compass X-ray System
Carestream Health is providing healthcare facilities with a new floor-mount option for the DRX-Compass X-ray System. This option delivers an innovative, flexible and efficient medical imaging solution to sites that are unable to accommodate an overhead tube crane.
It is ideal for community, rural and private hospitals. It is also well suited for urgent care centers, orthopaedic and large radiology practices.
“The free-standing tube mount eliminates the need for ceiling rails, but still provides the wall stand, table and console features, the same as the overhead tube crane,” said Jing Chu, Worldwide Product Marketing Manager at Carestream.
“This option will offer smaller facilities or sites with tighter budgets the ability to use the DRX-Compass and put Carestream’s exceptional image capture and processing to work.”
The Carestream DRX-Compass X-ray System (see video of DRX-Compass system) is an upgrade-friendly unit with a broad array of advanced features and options to meet changing needs. It has vertical auto-tracking and auto-centring, as well as an optional tilting wall stand to support a wide range of exams. Developed for easy positioning, this system was designed to decrease set-up time and increase throughput for every facility. Its intuitive, graphical user interface reduces training time for radiographers and allows for a secure, swipe-and-go login. The auto long-length imaging option is especially useful for patients who have trouble standing or young children who are unable to hold still for long periods of time.
“Whatever your modality right now, and wherever you need to go in the future, we have the upgrade strategy to get you there – seamlessly,” Chu said. “The DRX-Compass is designed to keep costs in line with a facility’s needs by being scalable and upgradable.”
With the ability to select components for specific locations, the system can easily adapt to space requirements. The DRX-Compass offers a bridge for healthcare facilities looking to move from an analogue or retrofitted X-ray room to a digital system. Through Carestream’s ImageView clinical acquisition software, powered by Eclipse image processing, healthcare facilities can add capabilities to their DRX-Compass systems as needed over time.
