PATIENT MONITOR

Drager Medical 's Infinity Omega is the first two-screen monitoring solution that brings clinical vision to the acute point of care. Omega provides uninterrupted display of real-time data at the point of care, supporting both single and multiple caregivers. The product supports the MultiMed 12 Pod that augments the Infinity System's monitoring capabilities with diagnostic-quality, 12-lead ECG data. Omega also supports TruST, a patented algorithm that provides real-time, 12-lead monitoring and ST-segment analysis using only a six-wire lead set. Unlike other reduced electrode set 12-lead algorithms, only TruST has the ability to measure eight leads and interpolate four precordial leads.

It can be used in a number of bedside, transport, and ambulatory applications, and it's deployable in areas in and outside the hospital where technical complexity or cost made monitoring impossible in the past. The Propaq LT comes equipped to monitor heart rate, three- or five-lead ECG, pulse oximetry, noninvasive blood pressure, and respiration with an easy-to-use interface.

CARDIAC SUPPORT PUMP

Zoll Medical 's AutoPulse Non-invasive Cardiac Support Pump has a unique design created to offer better outcomes. As an adjunct to CPR efforts, the AutoPulse can perform chest compressions that humans can't, while moving much more blood more effectively to the heart and brain. The automated, portable device is comprised of a backboard and a simple LifeBand that fastens across a patient's chest. The AutoPulse compresses the entire chest in a unique, consistent "hands-free" manner, moving much more blood than could be moved during manual CPR. Additionally, it offers the benefit of freeing up rescuers to focus on other lifesaving interventions.
