Carestream’s latest version of image acquisition software includes innovative standard and optional features for its CR and DR systems:  Bone suppression is designed to create a companion image to suppress the appearance of posterior ribs and clavicles while enhancing the visualization of soft tissue in the chest; and IHE Dose Reporting collects and distributes dose information from all Carestream DR and CR systems to a healthcare provider’s PACS.
The new bone suppression feature is designed to increase diagnostic confidence due to improved visibility of lung nodules and other pathology.  Since the companion image is automatically generated from the original chest image, it will be available in seconds and requires no additional exposure to the patient or a separate X-ray exam. This feature will be available for portable and room-based CR and DR systems. Carestream’s existing image acquisition software offers the ability to create companion images from an original X-ray exposure that can enhance visualization of tubes, PICC lines and pneumothorax.

Designed for high portability, the light and easy to carry ProSim 3 and 2 vital signs simulators enable the conducting of preventive maintenance and repairs in the field. Intended for high acuity scenarios like ER calls, the Pro- Sim 3 with four IBP channels ensures multi-channel monitors are performing correctly. It is equipped with enough battery life for a full work day, stayconnected ECG posts for secure lead connections, upgraded DIN connectors for cable and ProSim compatibility, and field upgradability so it easily pairs with other devices for comprehensive testing. The ProSim 3 patient simulator has the perfect amount of features for field work. It tests ECG (ST segment, pace and arrhythmia included), respiration, invasive blood pressure, temperature, cardiac output, and fetal/maternal. The ProSim 2 patient simulator tests two parameters less: cardiac output and fetal/maternal, and has two fewer invasive blood pressure channels.

The large 12.1 LCD, high definition touch screen of the VitalMax 4000 patient monitor is fully configurable to the needs of any care setting. Standard functions include 3 or 5 lead ECG, non invasive blood pressure, SpO₂, temperature, impedance respiration and ST segment analysis/arrhythmia analysis. The optional external module for end-tidal CO₂ monitors the patient’s continuous carbon monoxide levels before a breath, compared to the levels after. All VitalMax monitors have an end-tidal CO₂ port connector standard on the front panel. The VitalMad uses a reusable Nafion tube line that absorbs moisture in the patient’s breath (dehumidification), eliminating the need for a water trap and risks of cross contamination. Other optional functions include two invasive pressures, anesthetic agents with agents ID, HTS 820 central station, built-in 3-channel thermal printer and Δ Temperature.

Designed for a fast paced work environment, the Infinium Omni III patient monitor offers an extremely simple and adaptable user interface.   Patient information along with vital sign settings can be quickly modified to meet the needs of a patient’s changing condition.   The Omni III offers a standard high resolution 15-inch touch screen to optimize the speed of patient care.  The user can therefore make quick screen adjustments, set default settings, alarm limits, and manage up to 72 hours of detailed patient data.  From the general floor to high acuity surgeries, the Infinium Omni series patient monitors are designed to fit-in and move amongst many patient care areas.  The Omni III offers standard measurements of: Non-Invasive Blood Pressure, ECG with arrhythmia detection, motion tolerant SpO2, Temperature, and Respiration Rate.  End-tidal Co2, Anesthetic Agent measurement, 12 lead ECG, Cardiac Output and Invasive Blood Pressure can be added on-site by simply attaching plug-in modules.    This field upgradability can allow the user to customize the monitor’s acuity level while the patient’s condition changes. If desired, the user can move from a basic vital signs monitor, to a continuous bedside monitor, to an operating room monitor while keeping the patient on a single monitor at all times.   The   Omni III offers several connective solutions to network multiple monitors and/or manage patient data on an electronic medical records platform or a HL7 based hospital information system.   The Omni III patient monitor offers Ethernet and RS-232 connections with an open source communication protocol.  Infinium offers two levels of networking and connectivity. The Omni III is HL7 compliant.  The HL7 network protocol will allow for all patient information and vital sign trends to be transferred and stored on a hospital information system.  For non-HL7 medical facilities, there is the Infinium Omniview  central station which allows the real time remote monitoring and networking of up to 64 Omni patient monitors.  The  Omniview archives full disclosure of all patient vital sign trends.  The patient data from the Omniview  can be very simply saved, stored, printed, and, transferred.
