Optimized for a broad clinical utilization, Artis one is designed for routine interventions, which represent the majority of angiographic procedures. Energy consumption with the new system is up to 20% lower than with Artis zee floor. Thousands of angiographic procedures are performed each day worldwide. On the one hand, these include treatment of highly complex cases requiring a high degree of tailoring of the angiography lab’s configuration. On the other hand, there are many routine interventions, which represent the clear majority of cases. These include, for example, revascularizations of peripheral arterial or venous occlusions, functional tests of dialysis shunts in patients with kidney failure or of implanted ports in tumour patients. Diagnostic angiographies of coronary stenosis and their treatment or pacemaker implantations are also established routine procedures. Artis one has been developed to support all of these interventions. Despite being floor-mounted, the new angiography system is similar in positioning flexibility to ceiling-mounted systems and requires substantially less space: Artis one occupies only 25 square meters, compared to the usual 45 square meters required by ceiling-mounted systems. The system features several axes which can be moved independently of each other. This allows physicians and hospital staff to easily position the system where needed

Double arm blood pressure monitoring can provide accurate results when the blood pressure of both arms is simultaneously measured at the same height and same pressurization. The manual type blood pressure monitor may show pressure difference depending on the winding strength of the cuff or location when applying the cuff. In order to minimize the error from this pressure difference, the EX PLUS 1300 automatic double arm blood pressure monitor measures blood pressure at the same height and at the same cuff pressurization. Moreover, the embedded sensor in the cuff enables the user to measure the blood pressure of each arm separately. For instance, when the user wants to measure only the left arm, it gives the pressure only to the left arm. In addition, EX PLUS 1300 delivers pressure very gently to the user’s arm during measurement so that most users including patients with hypertension can do this painlessly. There’s a START/STOP button on the main body and another one on the foot board and hand switch, allowing the user to select the switch depending on preference. When the user measures blood pressure, the results from the measured arm is automatically displayed on the LCD. When the blood pressure of both arms is measured, the inter-arm pressure difference is automatically displayed on LCD. WHO recommends that the patient should consult with a doctor when the difference between the two arms is more than 20mmHg for systolic blood pressure or l0mmHg for diastolic blood pressure. The patient within the range mentioned above may be at risk for cardiovascular disease. Based on this recommendation, Jawon Medical has developed the world’s first automatic double arm blood pressure monitor.

Since Vue Motion is a zero-footprint viewer, it offers rapid access to images and reports even when it is used in a Citrix environment. This simplifies deployment, improves physician satisfaction and allows healthcare facilities to use their existing IT infrastructure. Vue Motion has a truly intuitive user interface that allows physicians to quickly become proficient with minimal training or support. The main image is displayed in the centre of the screen, and physicians have the ability to select a patient’s prior imaging studies from a pullout on the left or view the radiology report from a pullout on the right. This maximizes the imaging display for physicians while providing exceptional functionality. Carestream’s zero-footprint, Web-based Vue Motion viewer can be integrated with a third-party PACS or DICOM archive, embedded within an EMR or EHR portal, or used through URL activation. The image viewer is built on platform-independent technologies and delivers access utilizing HTML5. Vue Motion does not require software downloads and uses a single intuitive user interface, so no application training is required. It supports sticky notes communication, order information entry, and side-by-side image display.
