Varian Medical Systems, X-Ray Products, has launched an on-line product finder tool giving customers the ability to quickly locate needed replacement X-ray tubes as well as flat panel detectors for digital imaging. The product finder showcases all of Varian’s X-Ray Products offerings and can be found on the company’s website.  Finding the right X-ray tube or flat panel detector is not always easy. The new product finder tool offers a convenient solution that allows customers to define the parameters that meet their specific needs. Options such as focal spot size, target angle, insert or housing type, pixel size, and frame rate, are a few of the filter and sorting capabilities available that help to deliver the right product recommendations. Customers can search within the product finder for medical X-ray tubes, replacement X-ray tubes by manufacturer, industrial X-ray tubes, or digital radiology detectors. This new website tool will help to make it easier for customers to search for X-ray products using drop-down menus to filter and sort numerous product parameters. The tool has the ability to copy or sort the results, as well as download technical datasheets for all available products. With just a few clicks of the mouse the new product finder is an effective solution that provides a quick and easy way to allow customers to select the parameters that meet their needs and make a complex process simple.

Based on a computerised mathematical lung model, 1101 Breathing Simulator models a spontaneously breathing patient. Airway resistance, lung compliance, breath rate and patient effort are adjustable parameters that simulate a wide range of patient conditions. The simulator includes a large LCD display with real-time graphics and data acquisition capability. The computer uses the mathematical lung model to control the bellows, and the lung model uses the lung parameters and patient effort signal set by the user along with measurements of the pressure and flow to determine the motion of the bellows. The patient effort can be controlled by menu settings, a user-defined waveform or from an external analogue input for simulation of random breathing patterns. The target volume parameter can be used to end patient effort once the target volume is reached. In addition to simulating breathing, the simulator can also be used to collect data during a test and save them for record keeping and analysis. Data can be collected from the calibrated internal instruments, calculated values and from user supplied external analogue signals. The display contains four real-time graphs of user selected signals.

Patients with certain conditions may be in need of ICU quality ventilation during their time in the hyperbaric chamber. Indications may be e.g. carbon monoxide poisoning, severe necrotizing soft tissue infections or decompression sickness with gas embolisms. The SERVO-i HBO works at normobaric and hyperbaric pressures up to 3100 hPa (absolute pressure), corresponding to a diving depth of 20 meters. It automatically adjusts its delivered and monitored volumes, as well as other parameters, even during compression and decompression. All patient categories can be treated, from neonatal to adult patients. Taking away the limitations of ventilators previously used in HBO will widen the possibilities for hyperbaric medicine. SERVO-i HBO has been adapted to handle the variations in pressure and the special requirements for use in hyperbaric chambers. Conditions of the hyperbaric chamber that need to be adhered to when using SERVO-i HBO include power supply of 12V DC, 10A, connection of scavenging system for expired gases and connection of potential equalization conductor.

Designed for use in minimally invasive surgery, PretzelFlex is a pretzel shaped organ and tissue retractor. This shape provides impressive strength and stability to support large organs and tissue, making it ideal for obesity surgery. The pioneering device uses unique segment technology to ensure that the slim line shaft can form into the innovative pretzel shape inside the abdominal cavity, after being inserted through a 5mm laparoscopic port.
