The EC2060 is a single chamber, dual door warming cabinet with a capacity of 20.6 cubic feet. Touch keypad control can be set as high as 200 degrees Fahrenheit – up to 50 degrees warmer than most other warmers – keeping blankets warmer longer.
A pass-through option with window doors on both sides of the unit, the warmer can be built through a wall and is ideal in situations where available space is at a premium. Warmers include glass doors for inventory at-a-glance, locking casters, rugged hinges and latches as well as heavy-duty stainless steel construction.

Two new, universal thermal pads that enable rapid application of temperature management and greater flexibility in pad placement on patients are available with the Kimberly-Clark Patient Warming System.

MEDRAD has received FDA clearance for use of its Continuum MR infusion system in MR environments up to and including 3.0T. The new FDA clearance enables clinicians working in the latest 3.0T environments to infuse medications, sedatives and other drugs while benefiting from Continuum’s dose enhancements.

Products of interest being featured at ASA 2006 include KIP (Kohrman Injection Phantom) for needle placement training and skill maintenance. KIP simulates the human for tissue and bone density. When it is under the fluoroscope, KIP’s images look like a healthy person. KIP replaces cadavers and there are no biohazards associated with its use. KIP is excellent for use in educational settings, as it can be used repeatedly without degradation.

Tucked away in the northwest corner of Georgia is the town of Rome, home to four colleges, friendly locals and Redmond Regional Medical Center, a distinguished 230-bed hospital with one of the busiest cardiovascular programs in the region.
While Rome itself has only about 36,000 residents, the town is situated in the center of a triangle formed by Atlanta to the south, Birmingham, AL, to the west, and Chattanooga, TN, to the north. As a result, Redmond Regional Medical Center, an HCA facility, serves a six-county area that encompasses nearly 300,000 people.

The Probeat Proton Beam Therapy System by Hitachi recently got the green light from the FDA. Probeat delivers a proton beam, which reportedly allows for the delivery of radiation with greater accuracy than conventional energies for treating localized tumors and other conditions. Probeat was installed at M. D. Anderson in Texas. “Proton therapy was a natural next step for the Division of Radiation Oncology at M. D. Anderson, which has a long history of moving the discipline forward,” said Dr. James Cox, processor and head of the Division of Radiation Oncology at M. D. Anderson.

Fuji’s Synapse multimodality breast imaging workstation configuration uses FDA-cleared display technology to permit the diagnostic display, analysis and interpretation of any FFDM exam, along with related multimodality exams.

Developments in CADstream include a streamlined portfolio for more comprehensive treatment planning — incorporating the BI-RAD atlas for lesion classification and a multimodality ready configuration. This is designed to enable users to access, view and reference patients’ mammography and ultrasound studies, while interpreting breast MRI with CADstream.
