Hospital- and community- acquired infections are a major and growing problem in the United States as well as throughout the world. Unfortunately, the radiology department, in particular, can be a hub for highly communicable diseases. Most patients with dangerous infections will have an imaging procedure
performed within the radiology department some time during their course of treatment, where often the most basic safeguards against infection are not present. This was demonstrated in a recent study from Ireland that cultured MRSA from the bore of the MRI system.
Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)
MRSA was originally discovered in 1961 and is now widespread throughout hospital and outpatient settings. The most common source for transmission of MRSA is by direct contact with people who have MRSA infections or asymptomatic carriers. In 1974, MRSA accounted for only 2% of the total staph infections; in 1995 it had risen to 22% and by 2004 had reached 63% of all staph infections. MRSA is among those infectious diseases commonly known by the term “super bug”. MRSA may be community acquired, CA-MRSA, or hospital acquired, HA-MRSA.
The morbidity and mortality of these bacteria is staggering. On average, hospitalizations for the treatment
of MRSA versus other infections have a length of stay approximately 3 times longer and are 3 times more expensive. Additionally the risk of death is 3 to 5 times greater.
A major concern for imaging centers is that MRSA can be carried by asymptomatic patients. Therefore, any patient lying on an imaging table without a known history of MRSA could actually be a carrier spreading these aggressive bacteria. Worldwide, it is estimated that up to 53 million people are asymptomatic
carriers of MRSA; of these it is estimated that 2.5 million reside in the United States.
Also, of concern is the fact that MRSA and other pathogens can live on inanimate surfaces such as common
table pads and positioners for months.
Center for Disease Control (CDC)
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has developed guidelines for environmental infection control in healthcare facilities. The CDC and the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC)
issued a 249 page document extensively detailing their recommendations concerning, in part, the principles of cleaning and disinfecting various surfaces even including carpeting and cloth furnishings. A chapter focused on laundry and bedding discusses how mattresses and pillows become contaminated
and harbor bacteria, viruses and parasites and even how healthcare workers are becoming infected.

Beginning this year Promedical is proud distributor for Panasonic Medical the innovator in surgical cameras and accessories. The products we are carrying now include the Panasonic SD camera and the Panasonic HD camera.
Attaching any of these cameras to a microscope is very simple since you can order the adaptors directly from us. We will just need to know what type of microscope you are using and wish to attach the camera.
To view in HD you can hook up a Panasonic plasma display to have the most amazing picture of the surgery or the images captured by your microscope in the lab. You can still work with a flat panel for the SD camera but,
the SD CRT is still a better option for color viewing but a flat panel display would do a great job too. 

Now is time to change your old VHS for the new Panasonic LQ- MD800, a professional DVD video recorder for higher video and audio performance.
For ultrasound systems, C arm and video devices this is the right time to do it and the price we are offering is unique.
