A compact lithotripter offers new imaging and information-management options that make it more useful than other lithotripters.Posted on 31 Mar 2005
Introduced in this new Compact Delta II is FarSight, an integrated ultrasound technology that allows the operator to "see what you shoot.” It provides continuous monitoring of the stone disintegration process, utilizing a special multi-frequency transducer integrated into the therapy head yet out of the shockwave path. The Compact Delta II offers multiple imaging options, allowing the user to image with x-ray, FarSound ultrasound, or isocentric ultrasound. These can be used independently or in combination.
An additional capability of the Compact Delta II is the Dornier UIMS (urology information-management system). This digital imaging system combines a high-end patient data-management system with comprehensive DICOM (digital imaging and communications in medicine) capabilities.
The Compact Delta II is the product of Dornier MedTech (Munich, Germany), which specializes in lithotripters, urotables, orthopedic shockwave devices, and medical-aesthetic lasers. The company introduced the new model at the annual meeting of the European Association of Urology in Istanbul (Turkey) in March 2005.
"The addition of FarSight and UIMS technology in the Compact Delta II gives us a unique offering for our premium line of transportable lithotripters, further bolstering imaging and networking capabilities,” remarked Dave Eng, CEO of Dornier MedTech.
