*The Masking policy has changed:


'''Masking Required in All Patient Care Areas Effective Nov. 4'''<br>
* 26-Oct-2017
Effective Monday, Nov. 4, 2024, the NIH Clinical Center will resume masking in all patient care areas.<br>

This means wearing a mask will be REQUIRED in all patient care areas, including waiting rooms. This change is due to an anticipated increase in COVID-19 and other respiratory virus activity in the community.<br>
The new DSQ-3500 system has been installed. Continuous head localization works again. The new rack is smaller, faster, quieter, draws less power, and this also means we could update the acquisition computer (which is also faster), it is now running modern CentOS (6.9), and pushing data is much faster.
For patients who will be admitted to the inpatient unit (and their rooming in visitors), please note that testing for SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, Influenza B, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) will also be in effect. For rooming in visitors, testing for SARS-CoV-2 will be in effect.<br>

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We will keep you informed of any future changes to our masking policy.
