The FDR Go, a new DR portable digital X-ray system, features the ability to use any FDR D-EVO detector and is designed for image preview in as little as two seconds. Images can be sent wirelessly to the hospital network. The system allows technicians to simply drop the box into the cassette drawer, and position the notebook on top to begin capturing DR images. The lightweight, compact FDR Go Flex consists of a wireless FDR D-EVO flat panel detector, a full featured laptop workstation and supporting mini components box. This system features Smart Switch, a new X-ray detection feature. It simplifies use in any room by eliminating the need to connect the detector’s processing system to the generator equipment’s exposure circuit. Both systems use the advanced detector technology Irradiation Side Sampling (ISS), which improves detective quantum efficiency (DQE) by reducing the distance for light signals to reach the sensor. This unique innovation achieves significant dose efficiency improvements and reduces scatter and blur of X-rays captured, resulting in sharper images with greater detail.

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in Western countries, responsible for 35% of all deaths of people over the age of 65, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), myocardial perfusion is balanced during rest, but shows impairments during exercise resulting in thoracic pain. This situation reflects the coronary artery stenoses permitting sufficient perfusion during rest, but limiting the increased blood flow demand during exercise. The evaluation of these conditions is currently performed by stress MRI of the myocardium. Due to a lack of suitable devices, drugs like Dobutamine and Adenosine are often used to stress the cardiovascular system. However, the administration of these drugs for stress CMR is likely to lead to complications and does not reflect the physiological reality of daily situations. The Ergospect Diagnostic Pedal Cardio enables a step exercise inside the MR bore which is comparable to physical activities. The device is compatible with all MRI scanners ranging from 1.5

From the general floor to the operating room, the Infinium Omni series meets all requirements for patient vital sign measurement. In addition to standard vital signs of ECG, SpO2, and non-invasive blood pressure, the Omni series patient monitors now offer advanced measurements of 12 lead ECG, invasive blood pressure, cardiac output, Etco2, and anesthetic agent measurements. These optional functions can simply be activated in the field by the clinician. All patient vital signs data and trends can easily be stored and managed wirelessly on the Infinium OmniView

Made of Kimgard sterilisation wrap to form a series of pockets for the protection and organisation of surgical instruments during the sterilisation process, DuraHolder IPS allows sterilisation of the contents to occur in a steam autoclave utilising a sterilisation and drying cycle that has been validated by the sterile process department in hospitals. After cleaning, disinfecting and drying, instruments can be placed in the system. An appropriate process indicator can be placed inside the innermost pocket. The top flap is folded over and the system can be loosely rolled up, folded over or left flat. The system should then be placed into a protective wrap such as Kimgard or placed into a sterilisation container system to provide a sterile barrier. The system has been verified though laboratory testing and is suitable for use in sterilisation process methods and cycles.

Previously ECG physicians could easily lose patient records in piles of printed reports, but that was all changed with the advent of computer driven records. Nowadays hardwired PCs are becoming outdated with the advent of wireless and mobile laptops/tablets. EDAN’s wireless PC ECG SE 1010 does away with bulky cables and employs a lighter cable design and compact transmitter. It also gives users greater mobility and comfort, especially in stress tests. The small lightweight design and special tablet PC compatibility introduces a new concept to transportation and equips physicians with a multi-functional portable digital ECG station, which they can use to check patients from bed to bed and from site to site.
