NuBOOM

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.
