The CIRS Dynamic Cardiac Phantom, Model 008C, is a precision instrument that simulates the realistic motion of an average human heart. It provides known, accurate and repeatable 3D motion of a solid heart model inside the tissue-equivalent thorax phantom. The phantom is designed as a comprehensive image analysis tool for calcification detection, iodine contrast resolution and ECG signal gating. The cardiac phantom is constructed from a tissue equivalent thorax body, moving rod with a solid tissue equivalent heart inside, motion actuator, motion controller and CIRS Motion Control software. The 3D movement of the heart is controlled by CIRS Motion Control software, which is installed on a Windows PC or Laptop. The software comes loaded with three basic motion profiles that are specific to different anatomical parts of the heart and one correlated ECG profile. The software can overlay respiratory motion with cardiac motion to account for total displacement of the heart. The respiratory motion can mimic either breath hold or continuous breathing of a patient. With repeatable and controllable 3D heart motion, this tool could help define protocols in the cardiac field for better and safer patient imaging. The Cardiac Dynamic Phantom joins CIRS’ existing lineup of dynamic phantoms, which includes the Dynamic Thorax Phantom (Model 008A), MRI-LINAC Dynamic Phantom (Model 008M), Dynamic Pelvis Phantom (Model 008P) and Dynamic Platform (Model 008PL). Each of these products is operated using CIRS Motion Control Software. Read more
With Somatom go.Sim and Somatom go.Open Pro, Siemens Healthineers introduces two computed tomography (CT) systems specifically designed to facilitate planning procedures for radiation therapy and provide better images to help calculate radiation plans. The CT images enable radiation oncologists to identify the target tumour. More precise planning means the tumour can be treated with improved accuracy, while providing better protection for surrounding tissue and organs-at-risk. Designed to accommodate patient positioning accessories and increase patient comfort, the 64-slice Somatom go.Sim and the 128-slice Somatom go. Open Pro have an extra-large 85 cm bore. Both systems also feature optional Siemens Healthineers-manufactured patient marking lasers known as Direct Laser. The laser is used to mark the patient’s position for treatment in the CT, which will make subsequent positioning in the linear accelerator both faster and more accurate. Direct Laser are mounted directly onto the gantry and controlled via a mobile tablet. The new GO with Green mobile workflow brings ease of use and walks the radiation therapist through each step of the patient setup process, enabling the therapist to remain at the patient’s side, potentially improving communication and comfort as well as reducing anxiety. The Somatom go. Sim and Somatom go.Open Pro also feature DirectORGANS for OAR (Organs at Risk) contouring. This software automatically addresses the dependency between image quality and the consistency of autocontouring results. DirectORGANS uses a specialized image reconstruction, optimizing the CT images for autocontouring and applying a deep learning-trained contouring algorithm. DirectORGANS may reduce unwarranted variations with high-quality contours that approach the level of consensus-based contours. Unique to the Somatom go.Open Pro CT system is the Direct Intelligent 4D (Direct i4D) technology, which adapts the image acquisition to a patient’s breathing in real time during the scan. Direct i4D is designed to help optimize image quality for each patient, reducing artifacts that are common to 4D image sets and often prompt rescans. In this manner, Direct i4D images can help customers treat more patients with techniques such as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) that require a high degree of precision to avoid damaging healthy tissue. The SOMATOM go.Sim and SOMATOM go.Open Pro are pending 510(k) clearance, and are not yet commercially available in the United States. Read more

ndd Medical Technologies (ndd), a leading provider of diagnostic technology enabling healthcare professionals in the early detection of COPD and other chronic lung diseases, has introduced new single patient-use, inline filters for its lung function testing devices, in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Ensuring an added level of safety, the new filters can be used with ndd’s portable EasyOne spirometry range, including the EasyOne Air, EasyOne Pro, and EasyOne Pro LAB. EasyOne spirometers are popular among pulmonologists and medical researchers as they provide sensitive, reliable, real-time lung function results and diagnosis of chronic lung diseases, even at the point of care.
The EasyOne product line was originally designed with a strong focus on infection control with easy-to-wipe surfaces, single-use parts for anything that comes into contact with a patient’s breath, and ndd’s unique spirette and flow tube design which protects the flow sensor from cross-contamination. Now, when performing spirometry and testing of the diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO tests), the new EasyOne inline, single patient-use filters provide “double protection” for technicians and patients by keeping the ambient environment clean, without significantly affecting the EasyOne’s sensitivity.
ndd’s rigorous sensitivity tests have shown that the new inline filters do not significantly affect the device’s sensitivity and show comparable results in 24 waveform testing, (as required by ATS/ERS) and pass testing requirements. World-renowned medical research organizations – such as Johns Hopkins University, University Hospital Zurich and University of Cape Town – are partnering with ndd to assess the long-term lung damage caused by SARS-CoV-2.
Dr Trishul Siddharthan, Assistant Professor of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Johns Hopkins University, commented: “There is a lot of research underway to investigate the long-term effects of COVID-19. Our research group has been partnering with ndd thanks to the reliability of these spirometers in global settings and the ease of cleaning these devices during the pandemic to ensure safety.”
Prof. Friedrich Thienemann, General Medicine & Global Health research group, University of Cape Town and University Hospital Zurich, also noted: “In order to measure lung functions in resource-constrained settings like South African townships, one needs a device that is portable, point-of-care, easy-to-use, low-maintenance, and reliable without complicated calibration. EasyOne Pro LAB is that device.”
Incorporating ndd’s patented TrueFlow ultrasound technology, the EasyOne translates airflow into ultrasound signals which are measured by the sensors, so the patient’s breath does not come into contact with the sensors. This helps to prevent contamination and minimizes the cleaning required for safe use, while enabling a lifetime of calibration-free accuracy for flow and volume measurements.

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. Read more

Siemens is bringing a new and flexible telemedicine solution to the market with its teamplay myCare Companion software. The software enables remote care for patients with chronic diseases. The teamplay myCare Companion allows healthcare providers to design their own telemedicine programs and flexibly adapt the underlying technology to their needs.
The solution has initially been used at the German Heart and Diabetes Center in Bad Oeynhausen for the care of patients with chronic heart failure.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the occupational health and safety medical center at Mannheim University Hospital has been using teamplay myCare Companions’ documentation and communication components as a “coronavirus diary” for clinical. The staff records their health status every day and medical officers can respond quickly to any changes.
“Previously we used to receive piles of diaries in paper form, but now everything is nicely arranged for software to analyse”, said Dr. Margit Eisenbarth. medical officer. “Employees can enter their data conveniently via an app or website. That saves them valuable time, and we get an immediate overview.”
Wido Menhardt, Executive Vice President Digital Health at Siemens Healthineers, said: “Thanks to state-of-the-art telemedicine solutions like teamplay myCare Companion, a large number of patients can be cared for with a relatively low use of employee resources, and the number of unscheduled hospital visits can be reduced. That can substantially lower costs and is also conducive to better quality of life for chronically ill patients. Additional uses for the program that make life a little easier for medical officers and clinical employees in the current situation show just how flexible this software is.”
Teamplay myCare Companion basically consists of two components: an intuitive smartphone app for patients and a special workstation for medical care providers. Patients use the app to report their health status, wellness, the medications they’re taking, and their vital parameters to the nursing staff. Among other things, the program helps employees quickly identify patients whose state of health may have worsened. The attending doctors can then decidewhether a scheduled hospital visit should be moved forward or if more intensive remote medical care would be beneficial.
Siemens Healthineers supplies the software and supports healthcare providers with the design, installation, and operation of their own telemedicine centre. In addition, the company can assist with procurement of the measuring devices needed to monitor patients’ vital parameters at home (such as scales and blood pressure devices).
This telemedicine solution was developed in a partnership between Siemens Healthineers, the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), and TELBIOMED Medizintechnik und IT Service in Austria. The partners agreed to set up a global sales and development partnership at the beginning of 2020. Read more
