The full line of Infinix-i series 3-D vascular labs from Toshiba America Medical Systems Inc. were displayed during the Radiological Society of North America’s annual meeting in Chicago last month.

The systems, including the Infinix VC-i/3D vascular X-ray, are designed to improve visualization of structures and devices when conducting complex vascular procedures, Toshiba said. The planning tools available for Infinix reportedly improve the visualization of bones and vessels to assist in surgical planning and enhance the accuracy of interventional procedures.

Toshiba America Medical Systems Inc. demonstrated software upgrades for its Aquilion series of CT scanners. The Version 3.0 software improvements include enhanced DICOM protocols and upgraded user interface for fluoroscopy applications. The new software began shipping in August. Enhancements include a new V3 software release on the CT console that enables faster scanning and data analysis, intended to improve efficiency and achieve more accurate diagnoses.

Durable balloon angioplasties can be done without exposure to contrast material or radiation, when performing endovascular treatment of occlusive and stenotic lesions of the femoral- popliteal arterial segment. Research about this new treatment was published in the December issue of the Journal for the Society of Vascular Surgery.

Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc. introduced at RSNA the first floor-mounted, multi-axis vascular X-ray system in its latest addition to the Infinix-i series family - the Infinix VFi/BP, a system designed to provide flexibility for greater patient access.

Essentris provides a comprehensive view of the patient by collecting all clinical data into a single EMR. At the heart of Essentris architectural design is its adaptability and reliability across hospitals, departments within hospitals and international boundaries, accomplished through a basic database model capable of change and supported by robust configuration tools.

The BiPAP Auto combines auto adjusting pressure delivery with breath-by-breath pressure relief of Bi-Flex. Developed from the REMstar Auto, the BiPAP Auto features a proactive, multilevel algorithm that analyzes several parameters to monitor and respond to a patient’s breathing.

Microcap Plus for end-tidal CO2 monitoring on PCA pumps connects to the patient via a filter line. Able to monitor the entire respiratory cycle and displaying numeric reading and waveforms, the device is for both intubated and nonintubated cases, long- or short-term use and does not require regular calibration — only every 4,000 minutes of use. Clinicians can deliver oxygen through the same line.

The combination of the DS-7300 and Criticare System’s Poet IQ 8500A delivers high performance monitoring of CO2 and O2 with five halogenated gas agents and an OR-specific software package.
The DS-7300 includes a 15-inch high-resolution color LCD and multirole amplifiers for BP/TEMO/CO. The system is capable of monitoring 12-lead ECG, IBP, NIBP, CO, temperature, respiration, SpO2, pulse and EtCO2.

Q-CPR, available on the HeartStart MRx monitor/defibrillator, provides real-time cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) monitoring and feedback for advanced life support (ALS)-trained responders. It also offers medical professionals corrective feedback on the rate and depth of chest compressions, frequency and quality of ventilations, allowing for modification in their technique when administering CPR.

The Stöckert S5 is a fifth-generation heart-lung machine (HLM) that’s expected to help hospitals achieve new industry standards for safety, functionality, flexibility and quality. U.S. cardiac surgery teams now have access to the S5 along with the Stöckert Heater-Cooler System 3T, also recently cleared for sale in the U.S.
