Neoprobe Gamma
Detection System
Thanks to your gifts, Straub
Medical Center will purchase
a Neoprobe Gamma
Detection System to more
accurately map lymph nodes
in breast cancer and mela-
noma patients. This new sys-
tem replaces a 16-year-old
machine in Straub Oncology.
The state-of-the-art technol-
ogy will help identify lymph
nodes most likely to have
cancer cells for removal
and biopsy.

Pupillometer System Portable X-ray Machine Thanks to community
contributions, Pali Momi
was able to purchase two
Pupillometer Systems for
the intensive care unit. The
device accurately and reli-
ably measures an individual’s
pupil size and reactions.
This data can indicate neu-
rological problems and is
especially useful in the care
of unconscious patients. Crash Cart and
Defibrillators
Donations made at Hawai‘i
Walmarts, Sam’s Clubs and
for the Kidz For A Cause
campaign went toward
purchasing a portable
x-ray machine for pediatric
patients. The convenient
imaging machine is smaller
and more mobile, so young
patients can receive care
right in their rooms.
Donations for Wilcox Medi-
cal Center resulted in a new
crash cart and two defibrilla-
tors for trauma cases. Crash
carts can be rolled quickly to
patients in immediate need
of lifesaving medication and
equipment. Defibrillators
deliver an electric current
to restart the heart. These
are critical resources for the
operating room and emer-
gency department.
