ACUITEC
With SonoPlex, PAJUNK® has developed a new cannula-generation, an innovation, which for the first time facilitates the unerring localization by means of ultrasound technology. The distal end of the cannula shaft has been equipped with a circumferential array of reflectors. The nature of the „Corner Stone“ reflectors renders optimal reflection properties in any position, at steep and at flat puncture angles as well.
VPIMS/VIGILANCE Address: PO Box 380874, Birmingham, AL 35238 Phone: (205) 266-0848 E-mail: info@acuitec.com Web site: www.acuitec.com
Visible cannula tip The distal end has been provided with two pattern-embossed sections, each having a length of 10 mm and separated from each other by a blank zone, which provides for additional orientation. The visibility of the cannula therefore covers a total length of 20 mm, and it is thus distinctively recognizable.
Product Description: VPIMS is a comprehensive perioperative and AIMS solution that arms clinicians with the information they need throughout the continuum of care, providing simultaneous patient tracking and charting of procedures with patient data monitoring. Vigilance provides anesthesiologists with remote visualization and monitoring of multiple patients simultaneously with customizable intelligent alarms.

GE HEALTHCARE CENTRICITY® PERIOPERATIVE ANESTHESIA Address: 540 W. Northwest Hwy., Barrington, IL 60010 Phone: (407) 383-6043 E-mail: jason.dibona@med.ge.com Web site: www.gehealthcare.com/centricityperioperative Product Description: Centricity Perioperative Anesthesia is a comprehensive, integrated anesthesia information management solution that provides the right information to the appropriate care personnel when and where they need it. With a user-friendly touch-screen design, it provides workflow–enhanced processes such as procedure templates for automated note transcription, intraoperative anesthesiologist documentation and a robust professional fee billing component. With greater information management, redundant questioning is eliminated, helping reduce errors. Billing indicators are automatically extracted from the charts, providing a more efficient tool that can help improve charge capture.
The embossed indentations at the tip of the cannula are shaped as if the corner of a cube had been impressed into the surface: This renders three surfaces which respectively coincide in 90° angles. The surface is thereby enlarged in such way to permit the - direct or indirect - reflection of the ultrasound waves from almost every angle of incidence.
100 % reflection - thanks to „Corner Stone“ reflectors The „Corner Stone“ reflectors reflect ultrasound waves in a spectrum of incidence angles ranging from 60° to -20°. The visibility of the cannula is therefore guaranteed at a flat puncture angle, and at a steep puncture angle as well.

Product Description: Anesthesiologists can help manage postoperative urinary retention (POUR) and improve patient care. Anesthesia, along with postsurgical sedation and analgesia, affects POUR in the PACU. A recommendation of in–out catheterization, monitored by ultrasound bladder volume measurement, may be adequate following many surgical procedures. BladderScan bladder volume instruments help diagnose and monitor urinary retention. Noninvasive BladderScan instruments can help manage POUR by reducing the duration of catheterization or avoiding it altogether.
