A unique, patented technology that re-distributes pressure to prevent tissue damage by emulating the effects of a body “floating” in a fluid medium is now available for hospitals and long-term care facilities. All Dolphin FIS (Fluid Immersion Simulation) surfaces provide an environment that promotes tissue perfusion and prevents injury related to compromised blood flow. Dolphin FIS has been proven clinically effective at speeding the healing of advanced stage or multiple pressure ulcers, flaps, skin grafts, burns and other wound conditions and is available for beds and seat cushions, providing protection for high risk patients throughout their hospital stay or at home. Dolphin FIS software uses complex algorithms, a microprocessor and sophisticated dynamic pressure waveform analysis to precisely adjust the density of the surface for the unique anatomical features of the patient. It continuously monitors the patient’s weight, 3D surface area and movements to automatically calculate the exact settings to effectively manage the pressure of the patient’s body in the medium. The result is that the patient is truly floating, cradled in a simulated fluid environment and suspended in a near neutrally buoyant state. Distortion to the body is minimized and orientation of bone, muscle and subcutaneous tissue is normalized.
Dolphin FIS is the first and only technology proven to maintain near normal blood flow and prevent pressure injuries across the care continuum. The system is mobile and is available for most frames in a hospital, including hospital beds, stretchers, wheelchairs, and bariatric and pediatric surfaces. It’s a standardized intervention that provides a single, cost-effective solution for operating rooms, post-anesthesia care units, coronary care units, intensive care units, spinal cord injury units, medical-surgical units, emergency departments and long-term care facilities. Dolphin FIS technology is extremely easy to use. There’s virtually no programming, no manual data input, and no need for caregiver/staff intervention. The system is simply plugged into the wall and the patient is placed on the surface.

Designed to meet the requirements for a wide range of applications and clinical environments, the Sonimage HS1 delivers premium performance and an intuitive workflow, combining the advantages of a mobile solution with high performance and advanced features. Konica Minolta’s Ultra broad-band transducers in combination with the advanced 3THI (Triad Tissue Harmonic Imaging) deliver an exceptional resolution and image clarity through the whole picture, starting from the very first millimeters. The Simple Needle Visualization (SNV) technology enhances the needle visualization on the ultrasound image. SNV is straightforward and effective and supports ultrasound-guided procedures, performed with both in-plane and out-of-plane approaches. For in-plane interventions Sonimage HS1 detects automatically the needle, optimizing its visualization. Simple Clear Flow provides a precise and sensitive visualization of low flow velocities, enabling early detections. The Sonimage HS1 offers the possibility to display the 18MHz imaging scaled down to 1 cm depth which provides a comfortable visualization of details on the screen. The Sonimage HS1 features an intuitive user interface, thanks to the touch screen technology on the 15” IPS LCD monitor. It also offers the possibility to display the ultrasound image full screen, making it 133% larger. The Sonimage HS1 also implements phased array technology, meeting the requirements for cardiac applications with tools and features, such as TDI and CW-mode. Auto IMT (intima-medial thickness) calculation is an advanced quantification application to assess arterial health. This non-invasive method to evaluate cardio-vascular risk also calculates vascular age and Framingham risk factors. Strain elastography, a real-time qualitative imaging method displaying the relative stiffness of tissues, is also delivered by the Sonimage HS1, providing further clinical information in the assessment of soft tissues and superficial lesions.

Carestream Health’s ImageView software has received the Risk Management Framework Authority to Operate from the United States Department of Defense, paving the way for streamlined installations for defense customers. Defense Health Agency (DHA) Cybersecurity Logistics (CyberLog), part of DHA’s Medical Logistics (MEDLOG) Directorate, is widely considered to have extremely rigorous cybersecurity requirements.
The Authority to Operate (ATO) process took only six months to complete, a rare occurrence given heightened cybersecurity efforts across the globe. With the ATO in place, Carestream’s cyber team has received accreditation for CARESTREAM ImageView Software v.1 in the Department of Defense (DoD), with plans to support Veteran Affairs in the future. A productive collaboration between Carestream’s Cyber, Information Technology and Governmental Solutions teams along with DoD authorities led to a successful ATO process.
“Carestream has a long-standing history of dedication to cybersecurity, for both our commercial and government customers globally,” said Garrett Huntley, Director of Government Solutions at Carestream. “Maintaining our ATO status and partnership with the Department of Defense and the Defense Health Agency through a rigorous Continuous Monitoring program is a top priority for Carestream.”
