Exhibitors' Newest Trends

CareStream Wireless Box Probe DRX-1 Is in Robust Demand

A recent report of CareStream Health (formerly "Kodak Health Group") revealed that the industry's first wireless box digital radiography (RD) probe it has launched enjoys huge market potential. CareStream showcased the product at the annual meeting of the registration office of the American College of Radiology (ACR).

"Combined with the convenience and imaging quality of DR products and with support for quick and simple installation, the DRX-1 system provides compelling appeal. The system enables us to build DR capabilities into our four busiest X-ray radiology/fluorescent test rooms and conventional X-ray imaging room without the hassle of replacing the old X-ray equipment," said Michael Jenoriki, the sales manager of the Atlantic City Imaging Center, New Jersey.

With a separate wireless box-sized DR probe, the DRX-1 system provides the ability to swiftly and cost-effectively evolve from X-ray radiography to computerized X-ray imaging. Without replacing the existing equipment, one system alone allows a hospital to conduct a number of inspections. In addition, system installation costs a little.


Integrated Medical Photonic Rhinitis Therapeutic Apparatus Makes a Debut

Rhinitis has long plagued the medical circle; however, as photonic technology advances, the chronic disease is more likely to be eradicated.

Based on strong expertise, the integrated medical photonic rhinitis therapeutic apparatus represents fruits of the technological advance. As an important channel of exchange between the human body and the outside world, a clear nose helps vitalize body and mind. Using light within a special wave band to irradiate the vascular net in the nasal cavity, the apparatus can reduce blood fat and prevent cerebral infarction and cardio-cerebral vascular diseases.

Fundamentals of the Therapy

1. Reducing blood density, improving blood rheology as well as blood oxygen level and microcirculation in body cells, enhancing erythrodegeneration, increasing the amount of oxygen, and improving regional blood circulation;
2.Vitalizing lysozyme and strengthening oxidation-reduction reaction and metabolic turnover to improve energy metabolism in the nasal cavity and facilitate nasal functions; reducing the percentage of middle molecules and removing excessive free radicals from inside the body to improve the immunity and sterilization of the mucous membrane and build up the nasal cavity's resistance against diseases;
3. Narrowing the mucous membrane's wound surface swiftly and enhancing its resistance against allergic sources;

4. Accelerating and improving tissue cilia's expulsion of toxin through normal oscillation, building up nasal power and cleaning the nasal cavity.

Yuyue's Large Molecular Sieve Oxygen Generator Is Registered

Yuyue has developed a large-sized molecular sieve oxygen generator, which is not registered, marking a new milestone for the company in the oxygen generator area.

According to Mao Jianqiang, the company's deputy general manager for oxygen generation systems, oxygen generation series has formed a leading part of Yuyue's product lineup. Hospitals use molecular sieves for centralized oxygen supply. As well as improving the safety of oxygen supply, the new approach has generated considerable profits. Currently, molecular sieve oxygen generators are widely used in medical agencies and are beginning to become a norm. The registration has significantly reinforced Yuyue's lineup of oxygen generation systems, giving a strong momentum to the growth of the company's oxygen generator series.

Currently, Yuyue's oxygen generator plant is stepping up construction as part of its move to launch products as early as possible.

As a long-term exhibitor that has attended 8 editions of CHINA MED, Yuyue is expected to showcase its X-ray apparatuses and central oxygen supply systems. The company has secured a run of contracts for its X-ray apparatus series in government bids. Yuyue's large molecular sieve oxygen generator is set to achieve greater market success.


GE Partners with Intel to Develop Household Medical Equipment

Given a surge in chronically ill patients and aging population, the demand for home care is growing. Recently, the U.S.-based company GE and Intel jointly announced an alliance in the area of household medical technology. Under a commercial deal, the two companies are expected to invest US$250 million in remote medical technology and market. GE's medical department will sell Intel's personal monitors, which Intel refers to as "Intel Health Guide" in the U.S. The product can collect patents' health information and remind them to take medicine and do other things as planned. Through the system, patients are able to have a video chat with their doctors to receive medical attendance or have a health check even at home.

According to the two companies' chiefs responsible for the deal, their alliance will complement each other's technical advantages as part of their commitment to developing a new generation of home care technologies, such as preventing patients from falls, reminding patients to take medicine in time, attending patients who suffer cardiovascular diseases, diabetes or sleep apnea, and monitoring people's health conditions.


BLU-MED Portable Hospital for China Earthquake Relief

Last summer, AmeriCares delivered two field hospitals to China’s devastated Sichuan region, where health concerns remain acute following last year’s deadly 7.8-magnitude earthquake.  The portable, durable 15-bed field hospitals serve as interim Rural Health Centers in the Sichuan Basin where the earthquake caused thousands to lose their lives and hundreds of thousands injured. 

Designed to function in disaster conditions, the hospitals consist of adjoining climate-controlled, durable fabric structures, which will stand up to harsh weather and provide a clean, safe environment for patient care.  Each hospital includes separate rooms for an operating theater, emergency treatment, a gynecology/labor ward, a laboratory, a radiology unit and a 15-bed patient ward.  AmeriCares also financed the purchase of patient beds, exam tables, stretchers, wheelchairs, X-ray equipment, surgical supplies and other items necessary to completely equip the hospital. 

The first hospital averages between 180-200 patients daily since opening in June 2008; in the first 30 days alone, 30 babies were born. The second hospital opened in July 2008 and provides outpatient services to the community of 20,000, serving between 40 – 50 patients each day.  Some of the more common illnesses the medical staff treats are respiratory conditions, digestion and high blood pressure. In addition to the two field hospitals, AmeriCares purchased ambulances for both hospitals.

This latest initiative is part of a comprehensive, ongoing effort by AmeriCares to provide relief to earthquake survivors.  In November 2005, AmeriCares provided a BLU-MED field hospital for disaster relief near Muzaffarabad, the Kashmir capital and epicenter of the 2005 Pakistan earthquake.  AmeriCares continues to provide medicines and medical supplies as needed in the following months, treating thousands of patients in that BLU-MED hospital.
