• Medion The Touch X9613

  All-in-One touchscreen PC
  Too much technical gear with too many remote controls at home?! When Medion decided to move the computer into the living room and bring out an All-in-One touchscreen PC with multitouch functionality, Full HD TV and Blu-Ray recorder, it invited Pilotfish to develop its design. The result is a pure and elegant device with soft lines that is a stylish complement to different types of home environments. Discreetly bearing the product's versatility, the 24-inch touchscreen builds a visual unit with the distinct operating panel integrated in the foot and including a secondary 3.5-inch touchscreen and jog dial. The Touch may be operated via touch screen, remote control, voice control, or wireless keyboard and comes with Windows 7. A fingerprint sensor on the left side of the operating panel allows for easy user administration.

• gobandit GPS HD

  3D GPS Action Camcorder
  The gobandit GPS HD camcorder sets a new standard in high-definition action sports video cameras. It combines the latest in video technology with integrated 3D GPS into a compact easy-to-use device and comes with a variety of mounting brackets to quickly connect the camera to helmets, sports gear or any other piece of equipment.
  
  While standard GPS calculates speed and distance on a horizontal plane - which is perfect for biking along a highway or running along a path, but not sufficient for capturing extreme sports -, gobandit GPS technology calculates speed and distance in three dimensions, ensuring every heart-thumping minute of action is seized.
  
  The gobandit video editing software allows users to customize their footage and overlay information such as location, altitude and speed right on the video. The finished clips can directly be uploaded to social networking sites or to the gobandit.com website.

  Digital Hearing System
  The VELVET X-Mini is a high-performance Receiver-In-Canal hearing system measuring only 20 x 15 x 7.5 mm.

The exchangeable top shell is available in different colours, graphics and innovative finishes, transforming the product into a customisable, jewel-like accessory. When worn, the ultrasmall body disappears discreetly behind the ear, at wish wirelessly connected to external devices such as mobile phones or TV.

• Biotronik CardioMessenger II-S

  Home Monitoring System for implanted Pacemakers
  The CardioMessenger II-S offers a discreet and comfortable way of home monitoring for patients carrying an implanted pacemaker with telemetry function. The system enables an early detection of any irregularities, which has a reassuring effect on the patient and allows him to reduce the visits to the doctor's to the minimum required. During the day, the patient's implant collects trend and event data which at night is transferred automatically to the CardioMessenger placed on the bedside table. The CardioMessenger forwards the received data via GPRS or a cable modem to the BIOTRONIK Service Center, where it is evaluated by the treating physician on a protected website. If the physician deems necessary, he can invite the patient to contact him, causing lamp 1 on the device to flash yellow. An insertion slide-in on the left side of the device bears a description card with a concise explanation of the basic lamp functions. On the back of the card, the patient can note the name and address of the treating physician.

  SpiroScout is a complete lung function laboratory based on the Ganshorn ultrasonic measurement.

The ergonomically shaped handheld is easy to handle also for small hands and switches itself off automatically after the measurement. The disposable breathing tube replaces bacterial and viral filters, mouth pieces, and disinfection substances. This significantly reduces the amount of rubbish produced in comparison to most other cleaning solutions.
