Information About Radiology
Category Laboratory Point of Care Typical Use Detect bloodstream pathogens and resistance markers quickly to guide antimicrobial therapy. Description A multiplex PCR based or microarray platform that identifies a broad panel of bacteria, fungi, and key resistance genes directly from positive blood culture bottles within hours, enabling earlier targeted antimicrobial therapy and antimicrobial stewardship interventions … Read more
Category Hematology Diagnostic Typical Use Obtain marrow core and aspirate for hematologic diagnosis and staging. Description A sterile kit containing a biopsy needle, aspiration syringe, and fixation materials used to obtain bone marrow aspirate and core biopsy specimens from the posterior iliac crest or sternum for evaluation of hematologic disorders, malignancies, and marrow cellularity. Proper … Read more
Category Visualization Typical Use Magnify operative field for precision surgery. Description Optical magnifying lenses mounted on frames or headbands that provide variable magnification to enhance visualization of fine structures during microsurgery, dentistry, and plastic surgery; loupes improve accuracy of dissection and suturing while preserving ergonomic posture and are selected by magnification power, working distance, and … Read more
Category Point of Care Testing Typical Use Detect human chorionic gonadotropin for pregnancy screening. Description A lateral flow immunoassay that detects human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine to provide a rapid qualitative result indicating pregnancy, commonly used in clinics, emergency departments, and home testing. These tests are highly sensitive when used after a missed period … Read more
Category Monitoring Respiratory Typical Use Transmit exhaled gas to capnography for EtCO2 measurement. Description A narrow bore sampling line that connects between the airway device mask, endotracheal tube, or tracheostomy and the capnograph to continuously aspirate a small volume of exhaled gas for analysis, enabling real time waveform generation and numeric EtCO2 reporting. Sampling lines … Read more
Category Pediatrics Urology Typical Use Collect urine noninvasively from infants for testing. Description A soft adhesive bag designed to attach to the perineum of infants to collect urine samples for urinalysis and culture when catheterization is not indicated, requiring careful application and prompt specimen transfer to avoid contamination.
Category Operating Room Equipment Typical Use Provide bright, shadow free illumination of surgical field. Description Ceiling mounted or mobile lighting systems that deliver high intensity, adjustable, shadow free illumination to the operative field, enabling surgeons to visualize fine anatomic details and perform precise procedures with minimal glare and heat. Modern surgical lights use LED technology … Read more
Category Gastroenterology Nutrition Typical Use Provide short term gastric decompression, feeding, or medication delivery. Description A flexible tube inserted through the nose into the stomach for gastric decompression, enteral feeding, medication administration, or diagnostic sampling; placement confirmation by pH testing and radiography when indicated is critical to avoid pulmonary placement. NG tubes are used in … Read more
Category Microbiology Identification Typical Use Rapidly identify bacteria and fungi from colonies using proteomic fingerprinting. Description A matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometer that analyzes protein spectra from cultured colonies to provide rapid, accurate species level identification of bacteria and fungi within minutes, transforming clinical microbiology workflows by reducing time to … Read more
Category Neonatology Resuscitation Typical Use Provide open warming and access for neonatal resuscitation and procedures. Description A device that delivers overhead radiant heat to maintain neonatal body temperature while allowing unobstructed access for resuscitation, airway management, and procedures in delivery rooms and NICUs, often combined with integrated resuscitation equipment and monitoring. Radiant warmers facilitate immediate … Read more
