The BRAHMS CTproAVP KRYPTOR (LIA also available) is a unique assay for the reliable determination of the very unstable vasopressin by the measurement of the stable C-terminal part of the prohormone of vasopressin (CT-proAVP). CT-proAVP shows the same kinetics as vasopressin, is extremely stable and therefore easy to measure. As CT-proAVP is released into the circulation in equimolar amounts, it is an equivalent for vasopressin in all clinical indications where vasopressin is indicated, such as water balance testing. Particularly due to its higher sensitivity and easier handling compared to currently available vasopressin assays

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.
