Recently FDA cleared, the DIRECTVIEW DR 3000 system’s operator console enhances productivity while the motorized positioning arm enables the efficient capture of a variety of general radiography exams.  
In addition to capturing upright and table exams, the Bucky’s tilting feature facilitates angled projections. Automatic positioning for upright and table projections, and the constant alignment of the X-ray tube and detector can save time for radiographic technologists and patients.

Mayo Clinic has announced it has developed a series of MRI devices that make it easier to diagnose injuries and diseases that affect wrists, forearms, elbows, hands and fingers. Mayo worked with IBM Engineering & Technology Services and IBM Design Consulting Services on this solution. They have obtained FDA approval to market and commercialize these devices, making them available to other medical centers nationwide.

The CONDOR Control System for Operating Rooms is a surgical command center that puts medical staff in control of the devices, patient information, lighting and temperature within the surgical suite.
It is designed as the nucleus of Smith & Nephew's Digital ORs. CONDOR technology makes it possible for a medical team to send commands to medical devices, digital cameras, image management systems and other components using voice commands and a wireless touch panel.

The Mega Power Electrosurgical Generator features an advanced cutting effect (ACE) mode and Constant Control Technology. The proprietary ACE mode delivers a scalpel-like cutting effect for minimal thermal necrosis and reduced scarring. Constant Control automatically monitors tissue impedance and adjusts power output to reduce tissue drag for a clean, accurate cutting effect at the lowest possible settings.

Stryker Medical provides an innovative line of stretchers that safely accommodate patients, including the growing portion suffering from obesity. The design of the stretchers focuses on ergonomics, safe patient handling and ease of use. M-Series stretchers are equipped with numerous only-in-class features including a 700-pound weight capacity, Zoom motorized transport technology, a lift-assist backrest, low height, a 30-inch wide patient surface and an integrated scale system.

The 30-inch wide Action G2 Bariatric Pad is tested clinically effective to 500 pounds. The Shear Smart surface of Akton dry polymer protects skin integrity by reducing shear while the high-density viscofoam base immerses the patient to improve pressure reduction. The low-profile design also improves patient stability and surgeon access. Three-, five- and six-piece sets are sold with a one-year warranty.

Maxislide sheets are for bed boosting and lateral transfers. Maxislide products virtually eliminate physical strain on staff when performing in-bed transfer and movement tasks. The sheets are designed to prevent skin irritation, friction and shear since the patient remains on the same surface throughout the transfer, with movement occurring between two layers of the sheets.

Clearview Exact Influenza A & B is a rapid, simple and accurate test to detect influenza A & B viral antigens. The test is an immunochromatographic membrane assay that utilizes sandwich immunoassay technology and consists of a dipstick device containing a membrane strip that has separate regions with immobilized influenza A and B specific monoclonal antibodies and a colored gold conjugate that also consists of specific influenza A and B antibodies.

The new Ambit PreSet ambulatory infusion pump for management of postoperative pain has received FDA approval. The pump allows the physician to select from four preset infusion protocols for delivery of local anesthetic directly to the patient's surgical site. They are about the size of a TV remote, housed in a belt pack and run on two AA batteries.

The MiniMed Paradigm real-time insulin pump and continuous glucose monitoring system is a therapy available for patients who use insulin to treat diabetes. The pump integrates with real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). This new technology will help patients take immediate corrective or preventive action to maintain healthy glucose levels and delay or prevent diabetes-related complications, including coma, blindness, kidney failure, amputation, impotence and heart disease.
