Now available are two new diagnostic display systems: the premium greyscale Coronis 3MP LED and the highbright Nio Color 3MP LED. Featuring 3MP resolution and using high-bright LED backlights, these diagnostic displays make subtle details more noticeable more quickly. and help radiologists see more shades of grey. Additionally, Nio Color 3MP LED comes with a brand-new front-of-screen sensor for on-demand image quality checks. The more advanced Coronis 3MP LED features an Intelligent Multi-Sensor Technology (I-MST) system, combining Barco’s patented I-Guard front-of-screen sensor with backlight, ambient light and temperature sensors to optimize image quality. Other patented image-enhancing technologies, such as ULT-LED and PPU-LED, remove image noise and ensure uniform DICOM images from centre to corner. Revealing the smallest details, the 3MP Nio and Coronis display systems reduce windowing and levelling time, enabling radiologists to read their studies more efficiently. Coronis 3MP LED for greyscale radiology imaging offers a DICOM calibrated luminance of 600 cd/m

The ESC, ACCF, AHA and WHF stipulate that Troponin assays should demonstrate a coefficient of variation (CV) of 10% or less at the 99th percentile of the normal population, which no prior POC device could do. The high sensitivity Meritas test achieves a CV of 10% at 36pg/ml which is the 99th percentile. Results are available patient-side within 15 minutes and the Meritas analyser uses only a single drop of whole blood in a one-step process. This test will, for the first time, allow doctors to evaluate potential MI patients quickly and accurately. With CE marking achieved, Trinity Biotech now intends to release the product for sale in Europe and other carefully selected markets through its specialist cardiology distributor network.

The first truly portable DR system for controlled, low-dose x-ray examinations, the Digiview 250 flat panel digital detector is ideal for the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) and general radiology imaging applications. The Digiview 250 produces high resolution (5.2 lp/mm), high contrast (65,536 gray levels) images in seconds and the technologically advanced, efficient CMOS construction acquires them at the very lowest radiation levels. With Kubtec’s userfriendly suite of enhancement tools, including the ability to access MWL and send multiple images to PACS, the Digiview 250 is a most efficient tool for totally portable low dose imaging. Higher efficiency leads to better quality of care, higher patient throughput, and improved workflow for hospital staff. Easy to handle and designed with the most fragile patients in mind, the Digiview 250 fits into an incubator and with its advanced CMOS construction, requires the shortest exposure time to produce the most detailed, high-contrast images. Designed for portable imaging applications and easily positioned with one hand, it is packaged in a custom-molded housing with a slim cassette and an integrated handle. A cable tether connects the detector to a laptop or PC to acquire and display the images that can be sent wirelessly to PACS. Using less than 10 Watts of power consumption, the Digiview 250 runs off a standard AC power adapter or even a battery pack.

Highly portable and battery-operated, the MyLabGamma compact, wireless-connected ultrasound offers fast boot times and a rapid resume from standby mode so that the system is ready to use within seconds. Integration of wireless connectivity, a class leading feature for a system of its size and price, facilitates easy, one-click networking with other systems and local networks as required. The simple-to-use eTouch screen-based interface guides the operator through set-up and image capture, enabling faster workflow. A high resolution widescreen monitor can be rotated through +90/-90 degrees to increase comfort, and allows an examination to be shared with the patient or a colleague. An almost silent cooling system improves the quality of the working environment and reduces operator disturbance. Two transducer connectors allow two probes to be connected to the system: switching the probe selection during an examination is simple, further increasing efficiency and workflow. An optional multi-connector is available, allowing up to four transducers to be connected and selected via the intuitive software interface. MyLabGamma also comes with remote service capabilities. For cardiovascular applications, MyLabGamma is equipped with comprehensive cardiac and vascular ultrasound packages, and provides excellent image quality in a very compact size. Advanced tools (QIMT, XStrain), TEE Probe, Post Processing, Wireless connectivity – customizable measurements and flexible configuration – coupled with a tailored reporting package make MyLabGamma the complete solution for cardiovascular scanning in the clinic and on the move. MyLabGamma is also well-suited to other applications, including general imaging, women’s health, anesthesiology, emergency and critical care. The system represents a perfect solution from point-of-care to shared ultrasound services.

A new functionality has been added to the Proxima patient dedicated arterial blood gas analyser to allow direct connectivity to hospital information systems. This is crucial in the efficient management of patient data generated by the Proxima system and enables point-of-care coordinators and other laboratory staff to remotely monitor the use and performance of this new analytical in-line system being used directly at the patient’s bedside. The new enhancement ensures that all patient test data for blood gas and electrolyte measurements, as well as system quality control data, can be transferred via an Ethernet connection to the hospital information network. This direct data transfer uses the standard HL7 communication protocol format that is easily integrated into information management systems, such as the Laboratory Information System and electronic Patient Data Management Systems. The CE-marked Proxima supports proactive patient care, particularly at critical times, since it enables rapid and frequent measurement without leaving the patient. This is possible as the Proxima sensor is a miniaturized version of a blood gas analyser that is integrated directly into the patient’s arterial line, meaning that all blood is returned to the patient. Operated using the dedicated bedside monitor with touch screen interface, the system provides simple, clear routines guiding the user. Patient results are then displayed clearly on this monitor and also electronically transferred for permanent record within information management systems.
