The ESA615 Electrical Safety Analyzer brings fast and simple automated testing to a portable analyzer. Whether it is simple testing or comprehensive analysis, the ESA615 can do it all. This multifaceted device performs all primary electrical safety tests, including line (mains) voltage, ground wire (protective earth) resistance, insulation resistance, device current, and lead (patient) leakage tests. It also offers ECG simulation and point-to-point voltage, leakage and resistance tests. Versatile to global electrical safety standards, the ESA615 tests to ANSI/AAMI ES1, NFPA-99, IEC62353 (VDE751), IEC6060-1 (2nd and 3rd editions) and AS/NZS 3551.

Why should you choose the ESA615?

The Evita V300 is a customized intensive care ventilator that can meet the wide spectrum of clinical therapy requirements. Depending on what is required, the team of physicians can supplement it with ventilation modes, applications or screen displays. For example, SmartCare/ PS provides an option for weaning patients from mechanical ventilation. The device automatically leads the patient back to completely independent breathing and can shorten the total duration of ventilation considerably. Transportation of intensive care patients between clinic departments continues to increase. For this reason, seamless intensive ventilation has gained significance because changing devices can lead to complications. The Evita V300 is equipped to be installed in a supply unit, mounted on a cart next to a patient’s bed or to be taken along when transporting the patient in the clinic.

Designed for a fast paced work environment, the Infinium Omni III patient monitor offers an extremely simple and adaptable user interface.   Patient information along with vital sign settings can be quickly modified to meet the needs of a patient’s changing condition.   The Omni III offers a standard high resolution 15-inch touch screen to optimize the speed of patient care.  The user can therefore make quick screen adjustments, set default settings, alarm limits, and manage up to 72 hours of detailed patient data.  From the general floor to high acuity surgeries, the Infinium Omni series patient monitors are designed to fit-in and move amongst many patient care areas.  The Omni III offers standard measurements of: Non-Invasive Blood Pressure, ECG with arrhythmia detection, motion tolerant SpO2, Temperature, and Respiration Rate.  End-tidal Co2, Anesthetic Agent measurement, 12 lead ECG, Cardiac Output and Invasive Blood Pressure can be added on-site by simply attaching plug-in modules.    This field upgradability can allow the user to customize the monitor’s acuity level while the patient’s condition changes. If desired, the user can move from a basic vital signs monitor, to a continuous bedside monitor, to an operating room monitor while keeping the patient on a single monitor at all times.   The   Omni III offers several connective solutions to network multiple monitors and/or manage patient data on an electronic medical records platform or a HL7 based hospital information system.   The Omni III patient monitor offers Ethernet and RS-232 connections with an open source communication protocol.  Infinium offers two levels of networking and connectivity. The Omni III is HL7 compliant.  The HL7 network protocol will allow for all patient information and vital sign trends to be transferred and stored on a hospital information system.  For non-HL7 medical facilities, there is the Infinium Omniview  central station which allows the real time remote monitoring and networking of up to 64 Omni patient monitors.  The  Omniview archives full disclosure of all patient vital sign trends.  The patient data from the Omniview  can be very simply saved, stored, printed, and, transferred.

In digital X-ray breast imaging, radiation passes through the examined breast to a detector. Primary radiation supplies the information needed to produce the X-ray image, while scattered radiation is absorbed by special grids positioned between the breast and the detector. Unfortunately, these scatter grids also absorb part of the all-important primary radiation, forcing physicians to use a higher dose to obtain images of desired quality. Since mammography means regular screening of healthy women, minimizing dose is extremely important. Siemens’new reconstruction algorithm for the Mammomat Inspiration system

The Somatom Perspective family of CT scanners that are particularly economical has two new members, the 16- and 32-slice configurations. These new models make numerous high-end technologies available to a broader clientele for the first time with an additional option to upgrade the systems later to the established 64- and 128-slice configurations. For all four configurations, the company now offers the innovative eCockpit technology package, which makes the Somatom Perspective not only easier and more cost-efficient to use, but also lengthens the systems’service life.
The well-established eMode function, for example, helps reduce equipment downtime by more than 20 percent. With the Somatom Perspective, Siemens Healthcare expands its product range in the lower and mediumpriced segments. The two additional configurations make it possible to tailor a CT system individually to fit particular clinical needs. For example, the 16-slice configuration is suitable above all for routine scans in oncology and for imaging the head, lungs, abdomen, or chest. However, the model is also useful in pain therapy to ensure that analgesics are delivered to the right place during surgery. The 32-slice configuration provides more detailed imaging for bone fractures, examinations of the inner ear, or vascular applications; whereas the 64-slice scanner has remarkably fast image acquisition. With particularly short scanning times, the 128-slice configuration is especially suitable for diagnostics in cardiology and pediatrics. Technologies such as Safire (Sinogram Affirmed Iterative Reconstruction) are now available in the segment of 16- and 32-slice CT scanners. The iterative image reconstruction method enables to reduce radiation dose by as much as 60 percent, or improve image quality correspondingly.
In future it will also be possible to acquire single source Dual Energy images with any Somatom Perspective model. With this innovation, the same region of the body is scanned twice in succession at two different tube voltages, i.e. energy levels, using half the radiation dose each time. Merging the two image datasets provides information not only about pure morphology, but also additional details about the composition of the scanned tissue. For example, metal artifacts
