See More With the Welch Allyn Digital MacroView Otoscope

In light of our current promotion for the Welch Allyn Digital MacroView Otoscope We wanted to review this innovative product and explore the role that digital technology is playing in the evolution of clinical otoscopy training and practice. The Welch Allyn MacroView name is synonymous with premium quality and advanced diagnostic technology. Welch Allyn have a reputation for excellence and are globally renowned for offering the best in diagnostic medical technology across the board. The digital MacroView otoscope is built on the foundation of the standard MacroView otoscope with the added benefits of digital connectivity. Let's take a look at the core MacroView features that makes the MacroView range such a standout. [caption id="attachment_3644" align="alignnone" width="713"] (Source: welchallyn.com)[/caption] The MacroView otoscope offers an almost complete view of the tympanic membrane without needing to be moved around. This is approximately twice the field of vision than most traditional otoscopes provide. In addition to an expanded field of vision, the MacroView also boasts approximately 30% greater magnification than most standard otoscopes. This makes diagnosing issues a more precise and less straining experience for doctors. With regards to preventing eye strain, the ability to adjust the focus for variable ear canal lengths or farsighted vision is a very popular feature of the MacroView, enabling increased clarity and definition of landmarks. The MacroView also has an insufflation port for pneumatic otoscopy. The Welch Allyn Digital MacroView Otoscope catch phrase is: See it. Share it. Save it. The plug and play system requires no additional software to use and comes with all of the standard MacroView features mentioned above. In addition, the digital MacroView comes with a 3 metre long USB connector cable that can be connected to a Windows PC or laptop. The benefits of being able to connect the device to a computer are many, here is how it works. The image in view is directly live-streamed in real time onto the computer screen. One benefit of this is that the computer screen provides a much larger platform from which to view the tympanic membrane. This also makes it easier view small details of tubes and hearing aids. From this live stream, snapshot images can be taken, these can be saved to patient records and sent to other practitioners, departments or practices. Perhaps one of the most exciting benefits of the digital MacroView is the opportunities it presents for training and educational purposes. The professor or practitioner can easily demonstrate technique and provide instruction while the students have a clear view of what is happening. Snapshots can also be taken and used in clinical case study assignments to test students diagnostic ability. The integration of digital technology in the medical field is opening up a wide range of opportunities for enhancing practice and education. The Welch Allyn Digital MacroView Otoscope is a clear example of a diagnostic product at the forefront of this digital revolution. Valued at $1,100.25 our Welch Allyn Digital Macroview Otoscope promotion complete with lithium-ion handle, charging pod, 3-meter cable and power transformer, is currently available for $850.00 - a saving of $250.25. Now is the perfect opportunity to invest in the future. If you like images of cool medical supplies...

Product Feature CoaguChek Pro II Meter

“Building on the best in class quality, CoaguChek Pro II is small, light and convenient with accuracy and precision that our customers have come to expect from CoaguChek® over the past 20 years,” - Jean-Claude Gottraux, Head of Roche Professional Diagnostics. World leaders in the technology behind International Normalised Ratio (INR) testing, Roche, have just launched the CoaguChek Pro II. This is the next level of INR testing. Unlike the CoaguChek XS monitor, the CoaguChek Pro II is designed for professional use. So, if you are a specialist, a practitioner, or a procurement manager who is looking for the latest INR monitoring technology, look no further than the CoaguChek Pro II. The CoaguChek Pro II combines two tests in a single lightweight device - the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) test and the prothrombin time (PT) test. It provides much greater insight into the patients’ coagulation status in acute care settings, such as operating rooms, emergency rooms, intensive care units, or anticoagulation clinics. What's more, the Pro II can be used to determine the presence of vitamin K antagonists in patients with acute bleeding. It can also be used to determine whether there is any coagulation factor deficiency. Moreover, it can be used in real time to monitor anticoagulant drug effects in patients treated with unfractionated heparin. With the CoaguCheck Pro II, there is no need to spend valuable time waiting for lab results and there is no double handling. The unique CoaguChek advantage is the handheld streamlined point of care testing design. The sample can be taken and tested immediately right there with the patient. Image Source: www.cobas.ch Built in WIFI connectivity allows for transferring critical information when and where it is needed. This revolutionary feature of the CoaguChek Pro II means that test results can be automatically transmitted to electronic health records. To ensure that vital information is immediately accessible and available at every point of care. This feature streamlines workflow improves efficiency and greatly reduces the possibility of human error. In addition to the WIFI technology feature, the CoaguChek Pro II also enables the use of QR codes in a market first for a device of this kind. Test results and data can be transformed into a QR code then sent via email, or mobile phone for example. Image Source: www.roche.com This kind of technology is increasingly valuable in remote settings as it enables the data to be transferred and shared outside of the hospital or clinic patients' electronic records. It is particularly useful in home visits where the reading can be taken by a nurse then sent instantly to the clinic, doctor or hospital. This allows the information to be reviewed in real time. An anticoagulant dosing schedule can be arranged without the patient needing to travel to the hospital or doctor. As you can see, the CoaguChek Pro II is a stand alone in its field and a highlight of the use of modern technology to enhance health care. We are pleased to offer the CoaguChek Pro II monitor as part of a promotion running until June 30th EOFY 2016. You will be a free 48 pack of PT test strips when you buy the monitor as part of our EOFY promotions. Please visit this link for more information.
