Endotracheal Tube Positioning*
As many as 25% of intubations outside of the operating room result in mispositioned ET Tubes, which can lead to severe complications2-6.
Critical Care Suite’s Endotracheal Tube Positioning AI algorithm is now available on AMX 240 mobile X-ray systems.
Confidence at Point of Care
- Provides an accurate and automated measurement of ET Tube position on the mobile X-ray device within seconds of image acquisition
- The vertical distance of the tube tip and the carina is automatically calculated and displayed on device.
- The average error for the ETT automated measurement is less than 1mm when calculating the vertical distance7.
ET Tube Cases at a Glance
- Enables immediate access to AI-derived measurements in PACS worklist via configurable DICOM® tags
- Displays AI-generated measurements with an image overlay in PACS
Pneumothorax Triage and Notification
The Pneumothorax Notification is included in Critical Care Suite 2.0 and is available on AMX 240 mobile X-ray systems as well as Definium™ 656 HD and Definium 646 HD fixed X-ray systems.
High Accuracy8
- Detects nearly all large pneumothoraces (96% sensitivity).
- Identifies 3 out of 4 small pneumothoraces (75% sensitivity).
- Limits false alerts (94% specificity).
- An Area Under Curve (AUC) of 0.96.
Triage Notifications
- Sends a secondary capture DICOM image to PACS and presents the AI results to the radiologist
- Image flags help enable worklist prioritization and have the potential to expedite review of critical findings
