Consisting of up to 6 dedicated compressors, two air purifiers and an ES Medical Central Controller, the uAIR medical air plant series offers a multiple backup supply in case of failure of individual components and complies with the ISO 7396-1 standard. It is installed, piped and wired as modular, stacked components for fast and easy installation. The new Medical Air Plant is suitable for both continuous and frequent start/stop operation and supports different pressure levels. The GA MED screw compressor range offers the proven reliability of the latest high-efficiency compression element, and is designed, manufactured and tested in accordance with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 1217, Ed. 3, Annex C. All GA MED compressors are equipped with an additional safety protection required in medical applications. This ensures that even in the event of a single fault condition, air supply is always assured. MED+ air purifiers provide ultra-clean air and are designed according to the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC. Their innovative filtration system is the definitive medical air solution, while a small footprint allows hospital facilities managers to make the most of the space available. The MED+ purifier offers air purity through seven stages of active purification, and is also certified as a medical device. It is supplied with purge control as a standard feature, and enables compressed air savings of up to 70% during times of low demand (overnight for example). The ES Medical Central Controller offers a single point of control for the whole air plant, ensuring all compressors and purifiers provide optimum performance. The result is high quality and consistency of air supply, and a dependable and energy efficient network, while helping to keep costs at a minimum. The ES Medical Central Controller allows total control over the installation, full integration into existing building management systems, and compliance with the medical alarm and monitoring requirements specified in ISO 7396-1.

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
