It is often difficult in an OR to see everything that is going on at once. The surgical procedure itself. The patient’s vital signs. X-rays.
Luckily, Panasonic has come out with a new 3D medical-grade monitor that can allow just about everyone in the surgical suite to see what’s going on at all times, even when the images are coming from different sources.
Panasonic, a provider of professional healthcare display and monitor solutions, today announced that its EJ-MDA32U-K is fully compliant with medical equipment standards, has high 2D and 3D image quality, and is able to display multiple images from various sources at the same time, for use in the surgical suite, or “bubble.”
The EJ-MDA32U-K’s Xpol circular polarizing system includes “passive circular polarizing glasses and the Xpol system to maintain the stereoscopic effect even when the head is tilted to the left or right,” an advantage over linear polarization solutions, according to a company press release, because the electromagnetic wave can change direction.
“To improve patient outcomes, there is an ever increasing reliance on technology in the surgical suite,” said Scott Thie, director of Healthcare, Panasonic System Communications Company of North America added. “Although this technology has many benefits, it can also create a cluttered environment. The EJ-MDA32U-K helps to improve the surgical experience by having a large screen, HD image that can be clearly viewed by all clinicians, while also providing flexibility that helps to reduce clutter. By allowing up to three images to be displayed on the screen at once – from multiple input sources – and by delivering high quality 3D and 2D HD images, we offer a single device that addresses multiple needs in the surgical suite.”
The EJ-MDA32U-K allows for up to three images from three separate sources to be displayed simultaneously on one screen, allowing live viewing of the surgical procedure, radiological images and vital signs to be view on a single display. This helps to dramatically reduce clutter and cabling in the surgical suite.
Adding to its usefulness for viewing by many in the OR, IPS-Pro Panel technology enables natural full HD images to be viewed from top, bottom, left and right.
The EJ-MDA32U-K is available at a suggested list price of $14,500 from authorized Panasonic System Communications Company of North America resellers and distributors.
