ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 17 — Demand for the innovative and cost-effective products based on Carestream Health’s wireless, cassette-size DRX-1 detector continues to grow. The company reports strong sales for its newest addition, the CARESTREAM DRX-Mobile Retrofit Kit, in addition to its CARESTREAM DRX-1 System and CARESTREAM DRX-Evolution suite. These products offer a cost-effective way to increase staff productivity and streamline image capture and distribution while helping healthcare providers deliver higher levels of patient care.
Sanford Health MeritCare Hospital (Fargo, N.D.) ordered a CARESTREAM DRX-Mobile Retrofit Kit, which upgrades selected GE and Siemens mobile x-ray systems to wireless DRX-1 technology for greater productivity and enhanced patient care.
Recent U.S. orders for CARESTREAM DRX-Evolution systems include:
- Kennedy Health System, Cherry Hill, N.J.
- Sanford Health MeritCare Bemidji, Bemidji, Minn.
- University Medical Center Brackenridge, Austin, Texas
The following healthcare providers placed orders for CARESTREAM DRX-1 systems:
- Healthcare Midwest, Kalamazoo, Mich.
- Sanford Health MeritCare Hospital, Fargo, N.D.
- Scott & White Round Rock, Round Rock, Texas
- Texas Center for Joint Replacement, a member of Texas Health Physicians Group, Plano, Texas. The center placed the order through Merry X-Ray Corp. of Grand Prairie, Texas, an authorized dealer.
The CARESTREAM DRX-1 system enables healthcare providers to upgrade existing analog x-ray rooms from CR or film to DR at a fraction of the price of installing a new DR suite. The company also markets the CARESTREAM DRX-Evolution, an integrated, automated digital radiography suite that can perform a wide variety of general radiology and trauma exams.
The DRX-Mobile Retrofit Kit quickly and easily converts selected GE and Siemens mobile x-ray systems to DR using the company’s cassette-size DRX-1 detector. Users can capture and view images in seconds at the point of patient care and use the system’s wireless capabilities to forward images to desired destinations.
