A new method known as Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM), in which nonexcitatory impulses are delivered to the heart during a period of time called the absolute refractory period (ARP), is used in the new Optimizer III system.
The system is designed to deliver electrical impulses to the heart for treatment of moderate to severe heart failure.

Once it is attached and zeroed, the AbViser AutoValve allows intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) monitoring to occur without the need to clamp or turn valves.

The Omega XP Laser System, a low-level laser that could help in the treatment of pain and smoking addiction, has been awarded FDA approval for use in treating certain forms of musculoskeletal tissue pain, including tendonitis.
The system is a noninvasive, portable therapeutic medical laser designed to deliver low-level, pulsing light energy to the target tissue.

By controlling and managing temperature in critically ill patients, the noninvasive Arctic Sun temperature management system can potentially improve outcomes and reduce hospital costs.
The system circulates temperature-controlled water through specially formulated hydrogel pads that are adjustable to allow other interventions. Maintaining hypothermia and subsequent rewarming with the Arctic Sun may be faster and easier than conventional cooling methods and may require less staff time.

The Outlook Safety Infusion System is designed to ensure that patients receive the appropriate drug at the appropriate dose. DoseGuard technology notifies clinicians if institution-defined dose limits are exceeded. Patient safety is further enhanced with DoseScan pump-based bar code technology featuring automated checks and balances that augment the manual procedures commonly in use. With these combined technologies, the system helps reduce human error and enables hospitals to provide an unprecedented level of IV medication safety.

Integrating medical devices and information, Soarian Critical Care addresses clinical, financial and operational workflow challenges.
The solution streamlines processes as it collects bedside data from devices such as patient monitors and ventilators to create electronic documentation that integrates with the electronic health record (EHR). Providing centralized access to comprehensive, near real-time patient information, the system delivers enterprise-wide efficiency.

The SR755L multipurpose three-in-one scale is designed with versatility in mind. The cast aluminum platform has built-in wheels, making the scale easy to transport. The scale will accommodate wheelchairs, walkers and chairs. It may also be used as a stand-on scale by patients who ambulate. The SR755L’s capacity is 1,000 pounds and it is battery operated and features auto zero, weight recall and auto power shutdown. The dual fold-down ramps allow for easy patient access and convenient storage when the scale is not in use.

The Model 684 by Seca facilitates safe weighing while the patient is standing, sitting or in a wheelchair — without having to be converted. When standing, the patient is supported by a stable handrail; when sitting, by an integrated folded seat; and when in a wheelchair, by a large platform (31” x 38”) — the weight of the wheelchair is simply tared away by the pre-tare function. Results are easy for patient and caregiver to read from the swiveling display mounted at a convenient level.

The fast multiparameter spot-check device, Spot Vital Signs LXi, can be customized for use in a variety of clinical settings. Its speed comes from Welch Allyn's proprietary SureBP blood pressure technology, which measures on inflation, taking accurate blood pressure readings in approximately 15 seconds — about half the time of any other spot check device available today.

Designed for procedural sedation, the new 750 monitor utilizes best-in-class technology such as Masimo SET pulse oximetry and Oridion Microstream EtCO2 technology. A compact, mobile unit (4.4 pounds), the 750 can operate on emergency vehicle power, direct AC or battery. The monitor’s user removable NiMH battery provides up to three hours of monitoring with only four hours of charge time. The built-in power supply provides direct AC connection with a standard hospital grade power cord.
