- Hey, welcome everyone to the Fujifilm Sauna site
behind the scan webinar series.
My name is Lisa Francia
and today we have an exciting presentation
and demonstration
of the new Sauna site PX workflow efficiency.
Before we begin, please be advised
that all attendees are muted.
You may type your questions into the q
and a box in the toolbar located at the bottom
or side of your screen at any time.
This web webinar is being recorded and we will conduct the q
and a session at the end of the program.
So now it's my pleasure to introduce our
presenters for today.
To start, we have Audra Upton, who is the director
of clinical applications with over 13 years experience
with Fujifilm Cyte.
She graduated from the University of Oklahoma
with a degree in ultrasound
and is a registered cardiac vascular sonographer.
Audra and her team remain customer focused
and are specialized in the writing top level point of care,
ultrasound and education.
Next we have Marni Hemp.
Marni joined Fujifilm Sinai site six years ago
as a clinical specialist from the Canadian sales team
before transitioning to her current role as product manager
for our high-end product line.
She started her career as a radiographer
before transitioning to sonography, which took her career
to Australia where she lived and worked for 10 years.
During her time there, she specialized in OB vascular
and MSK ultrasound
and then joined Phillips Healthcare as a clinical specialist
before returning to Canada where she joined Fujifilm Cyte.
It's my great pleasure to introduce, introduce Marni
who will get us started today.
Thank you.
- Thank you, Lisa for that great introduction
and thanks to all of you for joining us this afternoon.
I'm really happy to be here
and have an opportunity to speak to you about Sauna Site PX
and how it can help you in being more efficient while also
assisting in providing better care for your patients.
I'm gonna take you through a short introduction of Socy px.
Some of the features and functions
that we developed provide better workflow efficiency,
and then Audra is going to do a live demonstration
and dive a little deeper into
how these features can assist you.
SonoSite has a short
but rich history of pioneering point,
point-of-care ultrasound solutions that were developed
around meeting clinician's needs.
With Sona Light px, we are launching the first
of our next generation of point-of-care ultrasound systems.
This product is a brand new platform
built from the ground up.
It was developed to be innovative
and incorporates new technologies
and features to empower our clinicians to accomplish more.
This next generation
of Sona site ultrasound systems was founded on clinicians'
needs and developed to deliver solutions that assist
with overcoming real world workflow challenges.
The Sona site design team began with a systematic approach
to observe, engage,
and really immerse themselves in the unique environments
that point of care clinicians encounter.
As you care for your patients, they traveled
to sites all over the world to spend hundreds of hours
with individual clinicians as well as focus groups
to observe and understand their workflow, they returned
with more than 400 data points that
provided the foundation for the product development process.
The result of all of this engagement is Sona Site PX
designed to provide innovative solutions
to customers at the point of care
and their very diverse clinical settings,
assisting them in improving patient outcomes
by providing diagnostic confidence.
Sona I PX supports many different use models within both
hospital and office environments.
Throughout the development process,
we focus on improving access, providing clinicians
with confidence, all while keeping things
as simple as possible.
We realize these goals by making Sono site PX adaptable
to the many environments you provide.
Karen delivering sono site's best image clarity to date
and bringing efficiency to workflows for every user.
Sono Site PX addresses three key needs of the point
of care clinician for adaptability, image clarity
and workflow efficiency.
We listened to customers when they told us
how important image quality was to them.
SonoSite PX delivers the most advanced image clarity SOCY
has ever produced using a new proprietary respectful
reduction technology
and the introduction of a new family of transducers.
SonoSite PX was designed
to provide our clinicians an unparalleled level
of confidence to diagnose
and treat their patients with improved penetration,
faster frame rates, better tissue resolution
and color performance
that assist them in being more accurate and efficient.
Included as part of the SonoSite PX family
of transducers are the new L 12 three
and L 19 five linear transducers.
The L 12 three has been designed to do the work
of two previous cyte transducers, the HFL 38
and L 38, making it extremely versatile
with a wide frequency range
and a maximum depth of nine centimeters.
This transducer will be capable of exams on larger patients
and deeper structures while maintaining the near field
resolution required for more superficial examinations.
This allows for more flexibility
and the ability to do expanded use cases
with a single transducer solution.
The L 19 five is the highest frequency transducer sono
site has ever produced.
For traditional ultrasound system,
it provides incredible near field resolution along
with the minimum scan depth of one centimeter.
The footprint size of just 20 millimeters makes this
transducer ideal for superficial scanning,
including vascular access, pediatrics and MSK.
Every detail of an ultrasound solution is critical
to the way clinicians provide care
and this includes its physical design
with a small wheel base
and hybrid Bridget design
that provides an adaptable work surface.
Bonus light PX can find a place at the side
of the bed in your crowded rooms.
The ability to raise
and lower the system even when the front wheels are under
the bed, ensures that clinicians have access no
matter where they're standing.
The integrated and durable transducer holders are easy
to clean and design so they won't break or fall off.
The one set. A P physician share a pointing anecdote
that without fail the transducer he would invariably need
was the one he had just run over
and was now trapped under the wheels.
So does IPX provides transducer cable solutions
that keep the cords off the floor
and tangle free to ensure not just the system
but the transducers are available whenever they are needed.
Our customers told us they never have enough storage zones.
I PX provides lots of onboard storage for supplies,
including dedicated locations for wipes
and gel with an internal wifi module.
Lots of digital outputs and a triple transducer connect.
You can stay connected and have most trans used
transducers at the ready.
There are many situations when every second counts.
That's why Socy PX has been designed around every detail
of the way you work and deliver care.
Complex workflows have been removed
to lower the cognitive load by providing optimized layouts
and data entry that reduce button pushes.
Imaging has been optimized for each individual exam type,
providing quick access to image clarity
and management of all patient data is found in a single
location that integrates seamlessly
with the sono site synchronicity.
Workflow manager SonoSite PX is our first system
to include both touch and physical controls.
Physical buttons have quick
and persistent access to the most used functions,
providing simplicity where it's needed most.
Each raise button or group is uniquely shaped,
allowing clinicians to adjust
by a feel while remaining completely focused on
the patient and monitor.
This includes things like depth gain, freeze, and save.
So does IPX is available
with two different physical control panels
to support global languages
and includes touch panel support
for sever different languages.
It can be operated with both gloves
and a sterile drape to assist with the increased cleaning
and disinfection protocols clinicians
and hospitals are experiencing.
As a part of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the
Sun Light PX flexible touch panel welcomes you
with a familiar startup screen made famous by export,
making your first selection seamless and easy.
From the first interaction with Sonos IPX,
we have simplified the workflow.
The patient information page has been streamlined
and the most used data entry points have been
located above the keyboard.
Minimizing the need to scroll upon completion
of patient data entry, the clinician can move directly
to transducer and exam selection.
Selection of a translucent exam type reveals simple
and easy to use optimization controls that have been curated
to each specific exam type surfacing most used functions
when color or pulse wave doppler are engaged.
These choices will update
to expose specific selections for each of the modes.
By selecting the tab across the top,
you can access optimizations for each
of the active modes at any time
soon as the PX exam types have been designed
for plunk imaging optimize the display most use functions
as well as exam specific annotations and calculations.
Whether you're performing a cardiac
or MSS K study, the touch panel will provide you
with the controls to streamline your exam.
Calculations are also optimized based on your selection
and organized in a way
that makes 'em easily accessible based on
the goal of your exam.
So does I. PX introduces a focused cardiac exam type,
which provides a more targeted set of calculations
to choose from to improve your efficiency when using the
heart to diagnose overall patient wellbeing.
This includes our new volume status
and assisted cardiac output calculations,
which remove complexity when assessing
for fluid responsiveness.
Our final webinar of this series will take a deeper dive
into these measurements and you can join us on
October 7th to learn more.
The annotations included
for each exam type are comprehensive
and should ensure that you rarely have
to get out the keyboard making labeling your images a breeze
using gain to adjust your images has never been faster.
The new TGC gain control continues to offer the ability
to optimize near and far gain while adding a flexible
middle gain control.
This provides the ability
to make finer gain changes throughout the image while
keeping it simple and not slowing you down.
This is beneficial when there is enhancement
or attenuation within the image around structures such
as the gallbladder and tendons.
The new touch gain wheel allows for incremental image,
incremental image adjustments quickly
with a slide of a finger.
Overall gain can also be controlled at the bottom
of the TGC window.
Streamlining your in image optimization.
The auto gain is conveniently located within the gain wheel
and has been enhanced to improve uniform brightness
and adjust for both increasing and decreasing of the gain.
Finally, the workflow
to complete your exam within the patient data management
area can be accessed by selecting report
and worksheets button within the single environment.
Patient information can be viewed,
worksheets can be filled out, calculations can be verified
and edited and exam reports can be observed and saved.
This simplifies managing the pace
and information and exam results.
Workflow when synchronicity is integrated,
worksheets can be signed off
and transferred along with images at the end of the study.
The end study button is visible always in this view
and you can end the study from here when you've completed
your reporting tasks
and if you happen to power down the system
before ending the exam, the system will do it for you
before shutting down.
This will assist with ensuring your images get to
where they need to go and lower the chances
of multiple patients ending up inside of a single study.
I'm gonna pass off now to Audra Upton who's gonna do some
more live demonstrations
and further explore the workflow efficiency of Socy px.
- Thank you so much Marni.
As Marni said, my name is Audra Upton, I'm the director
for the clinical applications team.
If you had the opportunity to join us a couple of weeks ago,
then you got to see a broad overview of the cyte PX system.
Today we are gonna be focusing specifically on
workflow efficiency.
Before I move into the live demonstration,
I just wanna remind everybody some of the key features
that have been added and highlighted with the Sauna site px.
So automatically you can see
that the system is really a hybrid system,
so you will notice that it is that touch part, touch panel
and part tactile keys.
Taking a closer look at the tactile keys,
you will notice like Marni said,
that they are uniquely shaped and these tactile keys.
That was the intention
and it's so that
as a physician you can be focused on the patient
and on the clinical monitor
but be able to reach your hand back over
and feel the button that you need to adjust
and know with confidence
that you're gonna be making the correct adjustment.
I, this next feature is
probably one of my favorite features
and that's the hinge system that the,
that the system is built around
and that really does allow for the system
to be moved from a vertical orientation
to a horizontal orientation.
This really allows you to get that machine closer
to the bedside and adapt to your environment
and in in those tight spaces.
Next, Marni did mention the new cable management system.
I just wanted to point out that this has been a huge hit
with customers because what this does is one,
it holds those cables back and out of the way.
But one thing to note is
that when the system is actually down in its lowest
position, you cannot run over our cables and that is huge.
But let's say that you're scanning
and when you're scanning you need that extra length
of trans transducer cable to, to reach the area of interest
that you're trying to scan.
The system is designed where it's a very quick
and easy release of those cables so
that there's absolutely no damage to to those transducers.
There's also the dedicated wipes holder,
which we know is very important to have cleaning
and disinfection readily available.
And then of course those the the holder for the gel.
And then lastly just image clarity.
We've made huge inpro improvements
and our offering now our most advanced image clarity
and actually next week Bill Medford is going to be
leading that webinar and going to be doing a lot of scanning
and so you will be able to see
much deeper look into the improvements we've made
with image clarity.
Okay, so now we are going to move
to the live demonstration portion.
So what you're seeing now on your screen,
that is the interface of the Sauna Site px.
If, if you are a Sauna Site customer
and you have an export, then
that touch panel should look very familiar to you.
We call this our kiosk view and it should,
and what it means is that you should be able to walk up
to the system and know pretty, pretty easily
and pretty quickly where you need to go
to achieve what you want to do.
So you have scan, you have a place to go
and enter patient information.
You can select your transducer
or you can go onto our onboard learning for right now.
We're gonna access that patient information screen.
We have simplified the patient information screen so
that those most important parameters,
the information about the patient is there up at the top
so you don't have to scroll past the keyboard.
We also include where you can now access the transducer.
So if you maybe inadvertently hit the patient screen,
you can go to that transducer page,
you can see which three transducers you have plugged
in right now.
You can see we have the L 19 five transducer activated
and we're gonna just go ahead and get started
and we're gonna select that nerve exam type.
So we're gonna select it and then we're just gonna go right
into scanning, pointing out again that
that touch panel really is adaptable.
It adapts to what it is that you're doing
and it's gonna, it's going to adapt
really based on three things, the transducer
that you have activated, the exam type that you've chosen
and the mode that you're imaging in.
So right now, because we're a nerve, this is the interface
for 2D imaging of the nerve setting.
But a couple of other things is that
as we go into those modes,
you'll see it, you'll see it change.
We'll get to that here in just a moment.
Before I go deeper into the touch panel,
I do just wanna point out those tactile
keys down at the bottom.
These are those physical buttons
that are persistent no matter
what exam type you're scanning.
So you're always gonna want to adjust your gain
and your depth, take images
or access different imaging modes.
And so those are always gonna be hard set down at the bottom
of the system system.
Going back to that touch panel, some other things that the,
that the touch panel is designed to do is
to give you some other cues.
So what do I mean by that?
If you take a look, you'll notice
that the new patient button is actually green and that's
because though we accessed
that patient exam information page,
we didn't actually put patient information in.
And so if you find yourself, when you access a system
and you turn it on and that button is green, it means
that patient information does not exist.
So you do still have access if you hit scan,
you can still go back
and access that patient information screen.
So we're gonna go ahead and go back to
that patient information screen.
For this, we're just simply gonna type px, that's
what our patient's name is gonna be for right now.
We're then just gonna go right back to scanning.
What you will notice is that
that green button has now changed to gray and that's
because patient information exists.
You also see that the end study button has now come forward
on that touch panel and it's because we're now live
and active within a study.
And actually had we just gone ahead
and started scanning without putting patient information in,
once we took images, you would have noticed that
that touch panel, that button
that was once green would become gray,
but instead of gray like you see here, it would be gray
and it would have a triangle error symbol showing
that you've now taken images
yet patient information does not exist.
And so we're just trying to give you cues along the way so
that you know for sure whether
or not you've input patient information
and done so correctly.
Okay, so we are actually gonna go ahead and start scanning
and let me, I'm gonna go ahead and switch our view here.
So now what you see is you should see an ultrasound image
and in that lower left hand corner you see the interface
of the ultrasound machine.
Now I know that you can't read the buttons,
but really the purpose of that is simply to show that
as we make adjustments, you can see my hands coming in,
coming in and out of frame so
that you can have an appreciation truly
for what Marni mentioned.
And that's the plunk ability of our system
that our engineers have made it
where when you choose an exam type,
the system really has been optimized
for those anatomical structures
and you should have to do minimal button pushing.
But let's say that you want to adjust your image.
And so I wanna highlight just some of the new improvements
that we've made with the px.
So one of those is the TGC.
This is new to cy, it's certainly not new to ultrasound.
And so when I access TGC on the lower left of that,
of the persistent keys, you'll notice on that touch panel
it does bring up the TGC line.
So just pointing that out and then I'll go back to my image
because also on the image itself to the right of the image,
you also see that TGC line.
What this allows is for you
to really focus in your gain on the area of interest.
So I can drag that line from right to left
and I can make it brighter
or darker in the area that I would like to focus on.
Now don't worry, we still maintain very easy to use.
And so if you don't wanna use that
auto gain feature, which is located in the center
of the gain wheel, you can hit that, it's going
to optimize the gain based on the patient's tissue density
and give you a really good starting point.
So what we're seeing on this ultrasound image
is we're seeing two veins
and if you like do a quick compression,
you'll see those veins winking at us
and then we see that artery in the middle.
And just next to that vascular bundle,
we actually see a nerve.
And how I know it's a nerve is
because nerves tend to have what we call a cluster of grape
or a chocolate chip appearance.
The nerve sheath is wider
and the fascial of that nerve are are a little bit darker
or hypoechoic.
So let's say for this purpose you wanted to do a nerve block
and you were preparing to do that nerve block
and you took a look back at your control panel.
And because we're on the nerve exam type, you notice, okay,
well I have procedure mode, I have a needle guide
and I have something called needle profiling.
And let's say that someone that,
that you may be a newer user
and you don't know necessarily
what those individual parameters are.
Four, if you'll actually notice in in the upper right hand
corner of each of those options,
there's a little information, a little I.
And so at any point if you see a button
and you just don't know what that parameter would be used
for, you can tap that I,
and it's gonna give you a brief explanation.
So in this instance, procedure mode, it tells me
that turning on this control, disabled sleep mode,
automatic power off notifications preventing the the system
from interrupting my procedure, which is pretty awesome.
So you can x out of that, hopefully this will prevent
those button pushers in a department
that simply hit a button just to see
what a parameter will do,
but rather the system is actually educating people on
what parameters are for and just why you would use it.
Next I wanna show an improvement that we've made
to steep needle profiling.
So we're gonna go ahead and hit needle profiling.
Now you see two options
that really determines on the way you're gonna introduce the
needle on your image or or the position on the probe.
In this instance, I'm actually gonna be bringing my needle
in on the side that's opposite that dotted line.
Now if you've used sauna site products
before, you know that needle profiling is nothing new.
We have this on our previous products,
but one way that we've improved the workflow of that is
that this, this steep noodle profiling technology actually
auto detects the needle
and adjusts the angle of steering
of the beam based on the on the angle
of approach of the needle.
Previously you would've had
to hit a button on the machine saying medium,
shallow or steep.
This new technology auto detects and does that for you.
So all you have to do is simply turn that
that software on, that technology on at any point.
If you're ever on any screen
and you want to just get back out to black
and white imaging 2D imaging, you can always hit
that 2D button, which is in the lower right hand corner
of those tactile keys
and it will always bring you back to just live 2D.
Next thing that I wanna point out are just some additional
prompts that the system offers.
So I'm gonna go ahead
and activate color by hitting C on those tactile keys.
And what you will notice on the lower right hand corner is
it's telling me to switch that selection.
I simply hit the select button.
By doing that, it's going to allow me to make
that box bigger.
Once I've made that selection, I hit select again
and it locks it in place.
Again. Just another way that the cyte PX is, is anticipating
what it is that I'm wanting to do
and offering those prompts so that I can easily walk up
to the system and know how to operate it.
One other function that I want to point out
that's new on this system is a feature called Color Compare.
And this tends to be very popular if you're looking
for DBTs
or certainly in cardiac imaging
where we now have the ability
to compare two side-by-side images, one image with color
and one image without color.
I'm gonna go ahead and just save a couple of images quickly.
Again, those save options,
whether it's saving a still framed image
or a clip is located on the tactile keys.
And I'm gonna go ahead and switch over
and show you now that touch panel,
I'm gonna save one more image
and you will notice it go from two images
now to three images.
So again, from a workflow efficiency standpoint,
we are putting everything in one central location.
So as I've started taking images,
I can access those images really easily.
They're not hidden behind a menu.
So I simply tap the image that I want to take a look at,
that takes me automatically into the review screen.
I now see every that I've taken,
I can easily select the image that I want
to either delete the image
or maybe I want to send that image to A USB
because it's a really great image for educational purposes.
And so having the ability to do that easily
and seamlessly is really great.
At any point if you're done with that review screen,
you can simply hit exit review
or again that 2D button on those tactile keys
and it will always bring you back to live imaging.
Okay, so now what we're going
to do is we're actually gonna go ahead
and switch over our transducers
and we're gonna switch now to the phased array Transducer.
Marni mentioned this, but as you choose the transducer
and the exam type,
the system is automatically gonna change internal parameters
so that it is optimized.
So imaging parameters, optimization controls, annotations
and calculations are all going to be specific to
that exam type that you're choosing.
And it's so that it's removing information
that now doesn't matter to the exam type
and it's bringing in those options the most important
and bringing those to the surface.
So for right now, we're gonna go ahead
and just choose abdomen
and we're gonna go right into scanning.
So what you'll see now on the ultrasound image is
that it has switched over to
that phased array transducer scanning the IVC.
And then again, what we're gonna show now is just some
of those improvements from a workflow standpoint
to bringing the the most used annotations
or calculations to the forefront.
So I'm gonna switch back over to that control panel
and if I hit a b, c on the tactile keys,
this will bring up the annotations specific to abdomen.
And we've brought the, the ones
that are the most common are always gonna be
the ones up top.
Now you can scroll through
and this list of abdomen, it is a long list of everything
that you could possibly need if you were scanning
a patient's abdomen.
But let's say that yours being very specific
and let's say you're doing a fast exam addition
to the abdomen exam type, if you actually hit
that dropdown arrow next to abdomen,
you'll actually see a much longer list of available cal
or annotation packages.
So for this example, I'm just gonna go ahead and choose EFAs
and you will notice that is a much more simplified list.
It's specific to the EFAs exam, making it just very,
very easy to locate the annotation that you need so
that you can move on to the next portion of your exam.
Next I'd like to show you the calc.
So on those tactile keys, I'm simply going
to hit the calcs button
and you will see the calc specific to the abdomen exam type.
Oh, let me hit it one more time. There we go.
Now if you'll notice, they are grayed out and that's
because I'm live.
Let me switch back over to that ultrasound image.
We are live imaging
and so the machine knows I'm not ready to
to perform a calculation as soon as I freeze my image.
So go ahead, we're gonna go ahead and freeze.
You'll now notice that those calcs went from gray
to being white because now they are ready
to be used as a measurement.
If you'll also notice, our calc packages have all been laid,
laid out in a very streamlined fashion.
So broken it down by vessel, abdomen,
gallbladder measurements, renal specific measurements.
But let's say
that you have actually been scanning your patient and you go
and you are ready to do your measurement
and you realize
that you actually were scanning the patient on the
wrong exam type.
I know that I've gotten this call multiple times
over the years.
The the beautiful thing about the PX system is
that all is not lost.
Previously, if you had scanned on on the wrong exam type
and you had gone to a calc package
and you didn't have a cal kid available,
it meant you were gonna have to switch the exam type,
re-scan that that image, recapture it,
and then perform your measurement.
But not anymore
because now you have the ability
to go back into the all calc packages that apply to
that specific transducer.
So because we're using the phased array transducer,
you see I have access to cardiac
to focus cardiac GYN, the list goes on.
So in this instance, let's say
that you were scanning a mechanically ventilated patient
and you wanted to do a volume flow measurement.
And though the abdomen exam type had the ability
to look at the IVC for spontaneously breathing patients,
it's located under focused cardiac
or cardiac, the ability to evaluate a volume status
for mechanically ventilated.
So I went ahead and went to the focused cardiac package.
I'm now gonna go into volume status.
These first options again are
for our spontaneously breathing patients,
but under respiratory variation I have the ability
to access the dis extensibility index for the IVC.
So I'm gonna go ahead and just capture a quick measurement
and do a maximum and a minimum measurement
because I'd like to show you just what that looks like
after we've captured a measurement
and moved it into the report page.
As Marni mentioned on October 7th,
we're actually gonna be taking a much deeper dive within
some of our newest calculations.
I really would encourage everybody to join us for that.
We're gonna be looking at our new assisted cardiac output,
some of these volume status measurements
and how our system has the ability to look at a patient pre
and post a fluid challenge
and give you a percent change so that you can accurately
and with confidence know the steps,
you know the next steps in treating your patients.
So I did those measurements.
If you'll notice, once I save those measurements,
those measurements now appear on that touch panel.
Again, just another way that
that touch panel really does adapt to what it is
that I'm doing every step of the way as I move on.
Now I'm gonna go ahead
and I'm gonna, let's say I'm done with my exam,
but I wanna take a look at my report page.
That report button stays persistent on that touch panel.
I always have access to it.
And underneath that report page is management
of all patient data in one location.
So I can access patient information worksheet those calcs.
So if I wanted to go into the calcs button, then
that is going to let me look at the calculations I've
done here.
I could delete something if I didn't want it there.
But going under report, you will actually see
that it has put all of the measurements
that I've done into a report
and I have the ability now to save this as an image
that will actually save it
and put it within the image bank on the system.
And those images then will stay as part of
that patient record.
And then the last thing that I wanted
to mention was the learn function on the system.
If you had the opportunity to join us last week
with our physician panel, you would've heard them talk about
how education and point of care ultrasound is one
of the most important aspects of of the of the field.
Well, on the PX system,
we have over 150 onboard tutorials.
We're actually just gonna go into acute care.
Now, some of our videos in addition that we made is
that some of them now include pathology.
So for this example, we're actually gonna just access the
IV volume status since that's
what we're scanning for right now.
And what I wanna show you is that this PX system allows
for real time scan along.
So if I unfreeze my image, I can actually be scanning
a patient or a colleague as I'm practicing.
And then I have
that video playing real time on my touch panel as well.
This has been huge with residency programs, medical schools
fellows because it gives them the opportunity to scan along
and and make those manipulations on the ultrasound
machine real time.
I wanna thank everybody so much for taking some time
with us today, allowing us to go through the sauna, cyte, PX
and just some of the improvements
that we've made from a workflow efficiency standpoint.
We're now gonna go ahead and move into the live q
and a portion, so if you have any questions, be sure
to put those in and and type those in
and we'll be happy to get some of your questions answered.
- Wonderful, thank you Audra
and Marni for such a great presentation and demo.
It's really fascinating to watch all of this.
I do have a few questions from the, from the audience here.
One is, if there is no patient information,
will the machine send the study to PAX
or is it mandatory to have patient information entered?
- So your PAX administrator probably is gonna be very happy,
but you definitely can send it to pax.
They would just have to go and then find it based on
more date and time.
But this is something that happens a lot in your practice.
You do have the ability in system settings
to generate a patient ID if you don't put one in.
And that can also be helpful for when you're trying
to find them when they're located,
where they're located on the PAC system.
- Wonderful, thank you. Because the part
of the system is touchscreen, are there options
to cover the system with a sterile drape or a cover?
- Great question. Yes.
And the system was actually designed so
that it could be draped and your hand can be gloved
and you don't lose any type of sensitivity of that,
of that control panel.
- Wonderful. Perfect.
And regarding annotations,
and I almost interrupted you Audra during this part,
but can you have more than one arrow to use for teaching?
For example,
- You can, this is new.
We can actually have up
to five arrows now on, on the screen.
- Wonderful. Very cool.
And then one other question, can we measure angles?
This is kind of something
that comes up in physical therapy and physiatry.
- You can. So we've actually got a new just basic general
angle calculation
and it's actually located underneath the caliper button
with some of the other basic caliper functions
like distance and volume.
- Perfect. Awesome.
Looks like those are all the questions right now.
We can maybe open it up for a few more minutes
to see if any more pop in.
Just give it a little pause here. Okay.
I don't see anything else.
- Well, thank you very much Laura,
and thank you to everyone who's joined us today.
Thank you Audra, for providing us with a great demonstration
of the workflow efficiency of Socy px.
Coming up next week, we're going to be joined
by Bill Medford, our senior MSK specialist,
and Craig Chamberlain, who's the director
of our experience design team.
And they're gonna be speaking more
as Audra said about image clarity and house on a site.
PX imaging can assist you in being more accurate
with diagnosis and treatment using point of care ultrasound.
And thanks again.
