Pacemaker System with Full-Body ProMRI Technology
BIOTRONIK recently announced that the FDA has approved its ProMRI Eluna pacemaker system. BIOTRONIK ProMRI technology allows patients to undergo full-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans with both single-chamber (SR-T) and dualchamber (DR-T) Eluna pacemakers when implanted with Setrox pacing leads.


Precision system for highly proficient revision knee surgeons
DJO Global, Inc., a global provider of medical device solutions for musculoskeletal health, vascular health and pain management, is launching the new Exprt Precision System for highly proficient revision knee surgeons. The Exprt System redefines total knee revision arthroplasty, providing advanced technology to experienced revision surgeons that lead to greater value and efficiency in the operating suite. Exprt’s streamlined, compact design reduces turn times, minimizes waste, and has proven implant design technology - all for 40 to 70 percent of the cost of comparable knee revision systems. A simple, comprehensive 2-tray system replaces the traditional 8-tray setup used during complex, total knee revisions, dramatically reducing prep time, eliminating unnecessary surgical steps, and allowing the precision skills of revision surgeons to truly hit the mark.


All-in-one interventional lab and CT solution
Expanding the industry’s first seamless integration between interventional labs and CT technology, Toshiba America Medical Systems Inc.’s all-new Infinix 4DCT has received FDA clearance with the Aquilion PRIME CT system configuration. Toshiba’s Infinix 4DCT is an all-in-one interventional lab and CT solution to deliver real-time CT images during procedures instead of CT-like images. The system significantly improves workflow with its SURE Guidance technology, which allows for automatic transition between modalities. In addition, it is capable of saving significant time by allowing clinicians to perform CT and interventional procedures within the same room and verify treatment success following procedures.

New breast CT system
Koning Corporation, announced that the FDA has approved their Koning Breast CT (KBCT) system and KBCT-guided biopsy bracket. KBCT is the first ever commercially available, 3D breast CT scanner designed specifically to image the entire breast with a single scan without compression of the breast tissue. The system acquires hundreds of images in ten seconds producing ‘true’ 3D images allowing a fast procedure with excellent patient comfort. Optional accessories for KBCT include a biopsy bracket to enable KBCT-guided breast biopsies of suspicious lesions, and a collimator which is used to limit the x-ray beam to the area of interest. The biopsy bracket provides 3D targeting at comparable or lower radiation exposure compared to stereotactic guided biopsy.
