Dunlee to introduce new tube at RSNA

On July 9, Royal Philips announced the departure of their health care division CEO, Deborah DiSanzo, and subsequent management restructuring with the health care division now reporting directly to company CEO Frans van Houten. Just two days after DiSanzo's departure it was announced that Pat Fitzgerald, former president of Dunlee, was also leaving.

Laura Hafner, the director for Global Sales and Marketing for the Dunlee division, will assume the leadership role for the Generators, Tubes and Components Division third party business.

DOTmed News recently spoke with Hafner to learn more about her history and to find out what the changes mean when it comes to Dunlee's tube production.

Hafner confirmed that Dunlee will continue to manufacture their existing line of tubes — with those offerings covering more than 100 models. She also confirmed Dunlee will maintain its existing distribution network and continue to develop new tubes.

Hafner hinted that there are plans to introduce a new tube at this year's RSNA, although she couldn't offer further details at this time.

"Right now, it's a time for introspection for some us," Hafner said. "It's a planning period to figure out what is next and what else we can provide to our customers. We understand how critical a piece we are in the whole imaging chain for the third party business and we need to make sure that we deliver to our customers."

Hafner joined Dunlee nearly 10 years ago, starting in sales, and worked her way up to the marketing director role by 2012. In her new role, she'll continue to carry out her previous duties, but will also handle the tasks previously allocated to Fitzgerald.

DOTmed HealthCare Business News will have further excerpts from this interview in our September issue when we publish our annual CT industry sector report.
