New Fully Configured 80-slice CT in 2 weeks with Software Upgrades for Life

For those who need to move fast and expand clinical capabilities -- and would love new equipment -- the uCT 550 Advance offers a new fully configured 80-slice CT in up to 2 weeks with routine maintenance and parts and Software Upgrades for Life™ included.

IntelliSphere conveys - literally - the sphere of intelligent informatics surrounding a patient who is receiving care. This re-branding is an effort to show that the division's products "fulfill the strategic intent" of the business, Russell explains in the video.

The Healthcare Informatics and Patient Monitoring division also announced a collaboration with Microsoft and its SharePoint telemedicine application, which is used in many intensive care units.
