New Mobile Healthcare Video Integration Boom System Announced

A new mobile healthcare equipment manager, visualization, and boom system for hospitals and surgery centers has been revealed. The system is intended for use with mobile C-Arms in general surgery, urology, or interventional vascular and radiology image-guided hybrid Operating Rooms (OR).

The system features turn-key video integration and can be wheeled to the point of care providing high definition images to surgeons performing minimally-invasive surgeries using ultrasound, mobile fluoroscopy, and surgical video. The system also has shelves for equipment storage.

The system called NuCART is the mobile version of the CompView Medical (CVM; Beaverton, OR, USA) NuBOOM system.

Paul White, president of CVM, said, “The rapid adoption of integrated ORs will only be realized by a massive reduction in the cost of technology, and OR downtime due to construction. NuCART is an affordable alternative to retrofitting ORs with expensive built-in AV systems and ceiling-suspended booms costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

The device was launched at the 2015 United States AORN Surgical Conference and Expo (Denver, CO, USA).

The analysis only requires the patient to hold their breath for seven seconds for a sequence of images of their heart to be taken. The images are then analyzed and extracted into a waveform that can show the severity of PR. The new technique\\\'s detection accuracy of severe PR is 93%, with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 94%. (Photo courtesty of Kyushu University/Yuzo Yamasaki)$
