Vascular Solutions’ Minnie support catheter is designed to provide superior guidewire support and exchange for complex interventions, with versions designed for use with 0.014-inch, 0.018-inch and 0.035-inch guidewires.
Atherotech Inc. is a cardio-diagnostic laboratory focusing on cardiovascular tests to better assess both risk and management and prevention of cardiovascular disease. The company’s patented VAP technology directly measures all lipoproteins and their subclasses.
The AgileTrac system uses real time location system (RTLS) technology to track the locations of people and devices critical to advancing patient flow through the hospital. The system integrates key events and data from other clinical IT systems in the hospital in addition to its collection of real time data that is automatically fed into the system to manage patient workflow.
Itamar Medical said its Endo-PAT2000 is a simple, noninvasive, inexpensive, office-based diagnostic test for endothelial function, the earliest clinically detectable stage of cardiovascular disease.
The POWERHEART AED G3 Pro features semi-automatic operation, manual override option and three-lead ECG monitoring to give hospitals the tools they need to be in complete control. The color ECG displays the victim’s heart rate, waveform, number of shocks delivered and the elapsed rescue time – exactly what resuscitation teams need to know, the company said.
The AutoPulse is a load-distributing band compression device that works to deliver compressions optimized to each patient. It provides uninterrupted, near normal perfusion to asystolic patients to help clinicians improve CPR performance. The system is designed to minimize no-flow time, reportedly allowing users to provide compressions while performing other medical acts.
Michigan Instruments Inc. has introduced its LIFE-STAT, reportedly the only completely hands-free automatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation system compliant with all American Heart Association 2005 Guidelines.
CIVCO Medical Solutions’ Assist Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) Transducer Holder reportedly enables stable and accurate positioning of TEE transducers in a fixed location for extended periods of time. The holder aims to offer physicians added efficiencies and ergonomics in the imaging environment.
The GE Innova cardiovascular X-ray system will soon be aided by the new Innova Dose, Innova 3D and Innova with Stent Technologies features. GE’s Innova Dose package aims to deliver superb image quality and custom dose management.
Volumetric data achieved from multislice CT and MR systems provide valuable insight for clinicians, especially within the cardiac arena where the number of images required to diagnose and treat a single patient can range from tens to thousands.
