The  Carestream DRX 2530C detector offers high resolution, low dose X-ray exams for pediatric, orthopedic and general radiology applications. The 25 cm x 30 cm detector recently received FDA clearance. Not only does it fit into an incubator tray, it can offer better patient care by providing exceptionally high-quality images at a low dose for premature babies and infants in the pediatric ICU. The cesium iodide detector offers high DQE (detective quantum efficiency) and lower X-ray exposure than CR cassettes or gadolinium scintillator detectors. The new detector’s small size and light weight is also ideal for orthopedic and general radiography exams. Like Carestream’s DRX-1 and DRX-1C detectors, the new DRX 2530C detector can be used with any member of the DRX family of in-room and mobile imaging systems. The company also offers advanced image processing software that can enhance image quality for pediatric patients. The software delivers optimized image processing and exposure techniques for seven different pediatric weight/age categories to satisfy FDA guidelines for pediatric exams.

In response to the NAP4 study addressing the clinical need for both Seldinger1 and surgical cricothyrotomy procedures to be taught side-by-side, Cook Medical is introducing a compact surgical set. This cricothyrotomy range expansion allows clinicians to stay up to date with the latest developments. The new surgical set can be used both inside and outside hospital settings. It is specifically packaged for procedural use and ideal for smaller work spaces. It is also easily transported in medical kit bags and packs. When a patient loses an airway, physicians oft en only have seconds to make a life-saving decision. Training and preparedness are key for successful surgical and Seldinger cricothyrotomy procedures. It is critical that healthcare institutions provide the equipment and training necessary for their staff to deal with emergency airway access procedures. Although it is a rare procedure, a cricothyrotomy can mean the difference between life and death. Being able to carry it out quickly minimizes the risk of damage from oxygen starvation.’

The P800 is a portable blood pressure monitor that enables patients to take fast and accurate blood pressure readings at their own convenience. Up to 50 user profiles can be created and stored on the P800, each with their own personalized settings. For error-free user authentication, the device comes with a built-in fingerprint sensor to identify each user before starting the measurement process. This safeguards the accuracy of each user’s data and also offers greater convenience as compared to standard password-based authentication methods. Patients can also set alarms using the P800’s reminder function to prompt them to take their blood pressure measurements. The P800 comes equipped with Wi-Fi capabilities so the patient’s data will be automatically uploaded to REKA Health’s cloud platform after a reading is taken. If a wireless network is not present, patients can also easily upload their data via their smartphones using the REKA app. Physicians can then remotely review the data on REKA Health’s cloud platform for convenient monitoring of their patients’conditions.
