Second-generation Mobile Medication and Mobile Computing Carts are designed to support a variety of medication delivery systems in acute and long-term care facilities.
The carts allow each hospital the flexibility to increase nursing efficiency without necessarily overhauling the existing medication delivery system. They complement decentralized, centralized and combination, or patient-focused delivery systems.

The Veris MR monitor includes a comprehensive array of accessories to meet the specialized needs of pediatric and neonate patient monitoring. It offers five-lead ECG monitoring for the MR suite with the ability to display up to six waveforms simultaneously for convenient comparison. Veris meets customer needs for anesthesia, sedation, cardiac MR, research and basic monitoring in MR environments up to 3.0T.

A rugged metal enclosure with dual cooling fans makes the PN-455 compatible with OR and ER demands. The 45-inch high-bright color LCD has full 1920 x 1080 resolution, 500 cd/m2 brightness and a contrast ratio of 800:1. Multiple inputs, including Digital DVI-D, Component Video, Composite, S-Video, VGA and RS-232 allow it to work with any system.

The NTX noninvasive telemetry transmitter is capable of monitoring ECG, SpO2, respiration and noninvasive blood pressure. The transmitter operates in the new protected WMTS frequency band and provides economical operation through the use of three alkaline AA batteries.
NTX is designed to provide hospitals with more flexible monitoring on higher acuity patients. As hospitals struggle to reduce costs and operate more efficiently, a trend has emerged where hospitals are monitoring higher acuity ambulatory patients on telemetry and medical-surgical floors.

The TotalCare Bed System 30-degree HOB Angle Alarm is designed to alert caregivers when the head of the bed falls below a 30-degree angle. Some studies have indicated that maintaining the patient's head of bed at a greater than 30-degree angle decreases the risk to the patient of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) or the aspiration of gastric contents. The Head Angle indicator can monitor how long the head angle is above 30 degrees — for up to eight days — helping hospitals to comply with VAP prevention protocols and guidelines.

A new device specifically designed for pump transport in ICU and OR environments, Pump Star is engineered for easy mounting and efficiency, attaches quickly and securely with tapered docking pins and travels with the bed from one area to another.
Requiring no additional time or physical effort, the device moves easily on the six-star base with a full range of motion capability, increasing staff safety and efficiency.


New information technology (IT) systems come in three varieties: the leading edge that puts a group ahead of the adoption curve; the bleeding edge that requires a firm to accept a certain amount of pain with a new system; and the chainsaw edge, in which a practice risks getting chewed up by its technology choices.

Heart disease and stroke are the first and third leading causes of death in the U.S. Atherosclerosis is the common pathological process underlying myocardial infarction, stroke and other occlusive vascular diseases. Atherosclerosis has a long latent period between early phases of the disease and the manifestation of clinical symptoms. Thus, there is an opportunity for primary prevention if patients can be identified before the first clinical event.

With the evolution of information systems (IS) in healthcare, the delivery of patient care has transformed the way clinicians work. In rural healthcare settings this metamorphosis is pronounced. Radiologists can provide service across a wide region, servicing hospitals and patients with advanced IS such as PACS.

The prevalence of lung cancer in the U.S., and the world for that matter, is a major public health and economic concern. Attributed primarily to cigarette smoking, lung cancer is usually diagnosed well into the latter stages of metastasis, meaning the deadly cancerous part of the tumor has already differentiated and separated from its origin and into the bloodstream. For decades, one of the primary diagnostic imaging tools to uncover lung tumors has been a chest X-ray.
