NDSsi launches ConnectOR G2 platform for integrating surgical
imaging
12 August 2010
NDS Surgical Imaging (NDSsi) has launched ConnectOR G2, its
new surgical visualization and informatics platform.
Based on the NDSsi technology vision of Medical Visualization
Informatics (MVI), ConnectOR G2 medical-grade products offer the
unique ability to connect PACS imaging, surgical video and medical
informatics.
A customizable informatics appliance designed specifically for
placement on a cart or boom, ConnectOR G2 offers user-selective
multi-display support, HD image routing and HD surgical video
streaming over Ethernet or Internet. The device — housed in one
compact enclosure — can serve as the visualization informatics
backbone for operating theatres and minimally-invasive surgery
environments, enhancing clinical workflow and improving overall
efficiency.
The ConnectOR G2 platform supports up to ten multiple-format
video inputs from a wide array of medical devices and signal types,
which can then be routed to three independently switched
multi-modality outputs. Examples include viewing live ultrasound
alongside HD endoscopy, displaying hi-resolution PACS images from
pre-surgical planning alongside HD surgical video, and hi-resolution
pathology images alongside HD endoscopy—all on different monitors
within the surgical environment.
“With ConnectOR G2, multiple video sources can now be routed
instantly to the surgeon’s field of view,” said Jens Ruppert, Vice
President & General Manager, Surgical Business Unit at NDSsi. “This
technology is an unprecedented leap forward in real-time delivery of
critical patient data to all surgical team members. The immediacy of
multi-image access, more image content, with cutting-edge HD
clarity, is revolutionizing the modern OR.”
The ConnectOR G2 can be used together with NDSsi’s ZeroWire
wireless transceivers and Radiance medical monitors for a complete
end-to-end surgical visualization system, allowing the easy and fast
integration.
