Following the Compact extendable breathing systems for adults, a new pediatric range has been launched with features that offer some distinct advantages. Concertinaed supply increases the number of systems per box, for more cost effective storage and disposal. A standard box of Compact systems could provide a hospital with an extra three weeks supply. Adjustable length means the tubing can be extended/collapsed to suit exact needs. The shallow profile tube improves laminar gas flow with lower resistance to flow. Softer material results in a quiet, non-disruptive sound when expanded and collapsed while flexibility allows for easy tube positioning, without the need for additional connections, which suits head and neck surgery. Compliance is excellent when extended, at 0.28ml/mbar per metre of tube, less than that required in the ISO 5367:2000 standard. The Paediatric Compact breathing system is available in three lengths: 1.5m, 2.0m, and 3.0m (extended length). A one-litre reservoir bag with limb options are also available.

The new optional DICOM Software program incorporates the Atomlab 960 Thyroid Uptake System with hospital management systems, streamlining workflows and improving communication. The DICOM Software program retrieves patient information from the work list and uploads the patient results, without exiting out of the clinical software, increasing staff productivity and efficiency. DICOM allows the thyroid uptake reports to be transferred, stored and queried/retrieved throughout a facility. Physicians can view both images and uptake reports simultaneously. The Atomlab 960, introduced in March 2013, is an advanced spectrum analysis instrument designed for diverse nuclear medicine applications which boasts a count rate of 150,000 cps and is engineered for mobility, durability and operational efficiency. The combination of a new unique positioning LED and distance measurement rod allows for easy and reproducible patient positioning and uptake measurements during nuclear imaging. Thyroid uptake studies, manual MCA program, wipe tests, bioassay, and other user-defined tasks are accomplished with speed and precision using this fully integrated computer-controlled instrument and its comprehensive selection of application software. The system’s multi-channel analyser has 1024 channels, with individual MCA’s for the probe and optional well counter. The Atomlab 960 handles clinical tests, safety compliance tasks, and system administration procedures quickly and accurately. It automatically performs calculations, stores patient information and test results, and outputs clear concise reports. User-defined uptake protocols can be initiated. Automated systems and administrative functions streamline and simplify the QC process to allow for optimal efficiency. Intuitive programs and Quality Assurance applications follow conventional nuclear medicine procedures, yet can be customized to meet specific requirements.

The 16 slice Astelion series CT systems include AIDR 3D iterative reconstruction found in Toshiba’s premium level CT systems as a standard feature. Dose reduction of up to 75% is available for all clinical scans making CT examinations safer for all patients. The design of the Astelion’s electrical systems minimizes heat dissipation and an innovative standby mode reduces the use of cooling fans. As a result, power consumption is reduced when the system is idle contributing to the well being of the environment. A wide range of advanced clinical applications make this scanner a powerful workhorse. Simplified operation with Navi mode is extremely practical for guiding novice operators through every step of an examination. Examinations can be performed with confidence in any location at anytime of the day and night.

The Ambu aScope 3 line is the innovative alternative to conventional scopes for airway endoscopy. They are instantly accessible, sterile straight from the pack and they require no further handling and reprocessing. They suit a wide range of endoscopic procedures: from intubation and bedside bronchoscopy procedures to training of intubation and bronchoscopy skills. aScope 3 has a 5.0 mm insertion cord diameter and a channel width of 2.2 mm while aScope 3 Slim has a 3.8 mm insertion cord diameter and a channel width of 1.2 mm. They are compatible with the aView reusable monitor, a portable touch-screen monitor with a user friendly interface. Thanks to an intuitive navigation and a high resolution image quality, the anatomical landmarks are easily identified. aView allows taking pictures and videos and saving them for later reference. With the USB interface, data can be easily transferred.
