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.

The HVO- 3000MT 3D HD Medical Recorder is the industry’s first medical recorder capable of recording at a resolution of 1080/60p. It fits with the growing number of high-image-quality endoscopes that also support 1080/60p resolution, and because it captures the full resolution of these imaging devices, it delivers excellent realistic views of anatomical areas and surgical procedures. The HVO-3000MT has multiple interfaces to support a wide variety of camera output formats: HD-SDI, DVI-D, composite video, S video, stereo audio I/O, analogue RGB input, and, for digital images, HD/DK-SDI and DVD I/Os. The unit supports the construction of simple and highly reliable systems, as it can connect to many devices with no need for converters. Recent years have seen a steady increase in 3D surgical imaging devices, including 3D-capable rigid endoscopes and 3D imaging for operating microscopes. The HVO-3000MT recorder greatly increases the range of access to these images, allowing medical staff and technicians to monitor the status in 3D, so that surgery can progress more smoothly.
