The NuBOOM/DOCS system is an equipment management and audio/video integration system that is installed in health care facilities where video-assisted procedures are performed. The NuBOOM/DOCS system is used by trained health care personnel to route video signals from medical equipment (i.e., endoscopic cameras, C-arms, ultrasound, PACS) to flat-panel monitors for display during procedures.The NuBOOM/DOCS system consists of two major components: an equipment management subsystem and a video integration subsystem.The equipment management subsystem—called the NuBOOM—is a metal superstructure (cabinet) that is anchored to the facility floor. The cabinet provides an attachment point for booms, which support adjustable arms with flat-panel monitors, and shelves for storage of medical equipment. The booms and spring arms can be moved to allow the most ergonomic placement of the flat-panel monitors. The equipment management component of the NuBOOM/DOCS system provides health care staff with an adjustable system that can be configured to the needs of each procedure.
A computerized image data management system designed to electronically receive, collect, store, and display a broad range of medical imaging/video data (non-dedicated), and to distribute the data within or between healthcare facilities to facilitate data analysis, organization, reporting, and sharing (e.g., teaching). The system consists of combined hardware (e.g., network switch, controller) and server/client software intended to relay image data from a broad range of imaging/audiovisual devices (e.g., endoscopic camera, ultrasound imaging system, radiography digital imaging system) to off-the-shelf devices [e.g., monitors, personal computers (PC’s)].
