Viking Systems (San Diego), a maker of 3-D and 2-D vision systems for use in minimally-invasive surgical (MIS) procedures, has entered into an original equipment manufacturing (OEM) supply agreement with CompView Medical (Beaverton, Oregon), for CompView’s NuBoom product, image management software and related accessories.

NuBoom is an all-in-one surgical equipment and visualization management system designed to enable hospitals to efficiently and rapidly upgrade an OR’s minimally invasive surgery (MIS) capability.

The NuBoom product includes a Digital Operating Control System (DOCS), which provides the surgical team with a touch panel interface to control video and other critical information sources in the OR. For improved safety and space conservation, the system includes cabinet and shelf space to house surgical and video equipment.

Viking Systems said it plans to integrate its 3Di Digital Vision System, a 3-D visualization system for the minimally invasive operating room, as well as other Viking Systems vision and Infomatix technologies, into the NuBoom system.
