AFHCAN Telemedicine Cart
The AFHCAN Cart is a mobile workstation
with integrated biomedical peripherals,
wireless network capability, and power
management hardware that allows health
care professionals to:
- Capture patient information using
electronic forms and integrated biomedical
peripherals.
- Capture information from external
imaging devices such as microscopes,
ultrasound and surgical scopes.
- Forward the information to another
professional or group of professionals at
a distant location for review and
consultation.
The AFHCAN Cart is small enough to fit
through a door, has large rubber wheels to
negotiate uneven floor surfaces, has a low
center of gravity to minimize instability, and
is designed to meet the ergonomic needs of
a wide variety of users. The AFHCAN Cart is
designed for patient safety with low EMI
and an isolated power system.
AFHCAN Telemedicine Cart Peripherals
Audiometer plus Tympanometer
The Earscan by Micro Audiometrics provides threshold screening audiometry plus fast and normal speed tympanometry. The tympanometer measures compliance of the ossicular chain, middle ear pressure, ear volume and acoustic reflex. The audiometer performs automatic air conduction threshold hearing tests in seven minutes. It has pure tones with standard headphones and smooth response button.
Dental Camera
The Evolution Mseries by Digital Doc is a small dental camera with superior optics, auto focus and excellent color reproduction. Dental professionals can rely on its high quality images for all remote dental examinations.
Digital Camera
The Kodak Easyshare V1233 is an attractive and sturdy 12 megapixel digital camera with high definition video. When tested on skin and other clinical images, the camera demonstrates excellent image quality in terms of color and detail. The camera is just large enough (102x55x23mm) to hold by the four corners and has easily accessible functions. The camera fits nicely into the Kodak docking station that provides battery charging and image transfer.
ECG (12-Lead)
The IQMark Digital ECG by Midmark Diagnostics is a highly advanced and refined 12-lead ECG system. Together with the AFHCAN software, ECGs are easily created, saved, transmitted and printed. The hardware includes leads attached to a small external box (5” x 3” x 1”) that connects to the CPU via a supplied serial cable.
Scanner
The Epson Perfection 1640SU uses the Epson TWAIN5 driver to provide a user-free interface to scanning. When the TWAIN driver is invoked, the driver quickly previews the scanning area, determines the size and type of the object, then sets the color depth and resolution of the scan accordingly as it scans. Ease of use was very important in selecting this scanner.
Spirometer
The Midmark Diagnostics IQmark Spirometer is an extremely easy to use diagnostic tool and is completely integrated with the AFHCAN software. Spirometry is a simple and accurate assessment tool for diagnosis and follow-up of respiratory illness. Spirometry assesses the mechanical properties of the respiratory system by measuring expiratory volumes and flow rates.
Video Otoscope
The Welch Allyn video otoscope consists of the 300S Illumination Box, Light and Video Cables, Camera Coupler and Ear Scope. The deployed units also provide an improved barrel to support pediatric specula, a sheathing to protect the cords, and an improved video calibration to provide superior image quality.
Vital Signs Monitor
The measurement of vital signs plays a fundamental role in medical evaluation and typically includes: blood pressure, pulse, pulse oximetry (O2 saturation), respiratory rate and temperature. Vital sign monitoring devices are appropriate for periodic measurements as well as for continuous monitoring.
Wireless Access Point
The Cisco Wireless Access Point provides 802.11a/b/g compatibility and supports AES and other security mechanisms to protect wireless data communication.
Specialty Scanners
