The syngoDynamics network is a multimodality, dynamic image review and archiving system using evidence-based reporting to improve the efficiency of clinical procedures. It has made the digital laboratory a practical reality for hospital echocardiography and ultrasound departments worldwide.
The system offers immediate access to cardiology and ultrasound imaging studies and reports at diagnostic workstations and from anywhere in the hospital, including remote centers.

The PicomEnterprise is a Web-based PACS that gives cardiologists a single point of entry to assess their patients' conditions. It has built-in visualization tools, document management and a complete ECG management solution.

Based upon proprietary Teratech architecture, which combines the front-end fusion processor with powerful PC-based back-end data processing, the Terason echo Ultrasound system runs as a Windows application on a standard laptop computer. Its flexible design allows it to be instantly converted from a portable unit to a cart-based system.
Terason began shipping the system in January and is creating a direct sales force to represent the new product line. The company’s background in high-performance ultrasound design provides unique advantages in the field of echocardiography.

A fixed 90-degree dual-headed motion-free SPECT imaging system, Nuclear Cardiology Systems Inc.’s (NCS) CardioCam has several features and options to choose from.

According to the company, the design is lightweight, has an easy to install gantry and it’s configured specifically for cardiac imaging and limited general nuclear imaging. It also has real-time cross correction for each energy level and different collimators.

One of the products Siemens Medical Systems is showcasing at the Heart Rhythm Society convention, May 17 to 20 in Boston, is its ACUSON AcuNav 8F ultrasound catheter.

According to independent clinical studies, the RADPAD Interventional Specialty Shield provides 80 percent radiation protection for the EP physician performing biventricular pacing and ICD implant procedures.
The shield is sterile, disposable and lead free, and does not interfere with the physician's interventional activity. This allows physicians to reduce their radiation exposure and improve their health risks.

A new blood test for measuring Plavix (clopidogrel) can be taken in less than 15 minutes and gives one simple result.
VerifyNow P2Y12 performs blood tests specifically designed to measure the effects of Plavix on platelets, the blood cells primarily responsible for clotting. Inhibiting the function of platelets is how Plavix exerts its cardioprotective effects.

Corindus, developer of remote control technology for the cardiac catheterization laboratory, holds a patent for “Remote Control Catheterization” technology. Its CorPath catheter manipulation system allows physicians to advance and torque coronary guide wires and stent systems in a patient’s artery from a remote location. The system is noninvasive and accommodates all interventional cath lab devices.

Two new assays that aid physicians in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction and the assessment of risk in patients with acute coronary syndrome have just received FDA clearance.

LifeVest, the first wearable defibrillator, is manufactured by LIFECOR and will be showcased by ZOLL Medical at the Heart Rhythm Society convention, May 17 to 20 in Boston, MA.
The device protects people who have a high risk of sudden death, a common occurrence in patients with myocardial infarction and nonischemic cardiomyopathy.
