Welch Allyn recently unveiled the Welch Allyn AcuityLink Clinician Notifier at the National Teaching Institute and Critical Care Exposition in Atlanta.
The AcuityLink Clinician Notifier is a hand-held patient monitoring solution that delivers real-time and historic waveforms, numerics and alarm information directly to caregivers via a wireless PDA device regardless of their location, giving providers vital information to make immediate decisions about their patients’ needs.

Verathon’s GlideScope Cobalt is a single-use video laryngoscope that provides a clear, real-time view of the patient's airway, enabling quick intubation.

Optimized for demanding operating room (OR), emergency department (ED) and intensive care unit (ICU) applications, the GlideScope Cobalt’s single-use design, which eliminates the need for disinfecting the “blade,” is ideal for fast-paced intubation settings.

GE Healthcare’s CARESCAPE Patient Data Module for mobile patient monitoring reportedly encompasses some of the industry’s most advanced monitoring capabilities.
The CARESCAPE Patient Data Module
features 24-hour capture of critical patient data and a unique “close to the patient,” self-powered design that alleviates common portability constraints.
CARESCAPE Patient Data Module ensures that the receiving nurse has a complete monitoring
history when a patient arrives.

The Stimuplex Pen helps anesthesia providers and educators locate superficial nerves through the skin before starting a nerve block.
The pen is used to find the optimal nerve block needle angle and entry point. This can help increase the potential of finding the nerve on the first needle pass as well as prevent repeated skin puncture.
The reusable Stimuplex Pen doubles as a teaching tool and increases interactivity and realism during
educational demonstrations. Students and educators can practice locating nerves both inside and outside the OR environment.

Cardinal Health’s packs for non-procedural and procedural areas are designed to prevent central line infections, while improving supply management efficiency.
Designed specifically for the nursing unit, intensive care unit, neonatal unit, emergency room and pre-operative, recovery and cancer units, the Presource Central Line Insertion Packs for Non-Procedural Areas can help prevent central line infections in these environments, where sterile practices and techniques may be limited.

CardioChek PA with new risk detection is designed to help physicians quickly and easily test for cardiac risk factors due to high cholesterol.
According to the manufacturer, the device provides medical professionals with a cost-effective, simple way to track important health factors in the convenience of their own office, with one finger stick.

Newport Medical Instruments Inc.’s newest generation of ventilator, the Newport e360, has added a new Biphasic breath type to its latest software version.
Biphasic Pressure Release Ventilation (BPRV) allows free inhalation and exhalation during a pressure-controlled breath by means of a partially open, actively controlled exhalation valve. The goal of BPRV is to improve patient comfort, reduce the expiratory work of breathing and possibly improve oxygenation when the patient has an intact respiratory drive.

Constructed to be small and unobtrusive, the new BreatheX Journey CPAP from VIASYS is powered by a rechargeable battery that will provide 12 hours of use at 10 cm H2O.
Providing continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) from 5 to 12 cm H2O, the BreatheX Journey features a ramp and altitude compensation and includes both a 21- inch and a 72- inch hose, which allows the system to be positioned in the most comfortable or convenient way.

The ZOLL R Series is a code-ready device that reportedly features a OneStep system designed to simplify and speed up deployment of pacing and defibrillation therapy.

It offers tools to help clinicians improve CPR performance and can verify the condition and expiration date of the electrode set, according to Zoll. All of this testing reportedly occurs without disconnecting electrodes or paddles, or requiring additional equipment to test shock delivery.

Results of a clinical study suggest a sterile barrier sheath system may eliminate the need for nasendoscope high-level disinfection.
One hundred flexible endoscopes using the Slide-On EndoSheath sterile barrier system distributed by Medtronic Inc. were evaluated for sheath integrity and bacterial contamination after use in patients. The study was conducted at an ambulatory ENT clinic using standard 30 cm flexible nasopharyngoscopes.
