Mortsel, Belgium/Greenville, South Carolina October 6, 2015 4:00 PM CET -- Agfa HealthCare announced today that it has been awarded a new three-year group purchasing contract with Premier, Inc., a leading healthcare improvement company, to provide its entire product line of digital radiography (DR) solutions to the alliance's approximately 3,600 member hospitals and 120,000 other alternate healthcare sites in the United States.
Agfa HealthCare’s full portfolio of DR solutions is included in the contract, along with the third generation of MUSICA advanced digital X-ray image processing software and workstation. Following is the complete list of DR systems and DR detectors available:
DX-D Retrofit - With this cost-effective yet versatile upgrade solution, healthcare enterprises can move to DR, while maximizing their existing investments in imaging equipment. The mobile DX-D Retrofit comes with the choice of wireless or tethered Cesium Iodide (CsI) or Gadolinium Oxy-Sulphide (GOS) detector conversion screens. The wireless panels may be shared with other fixed or mobile Agfa HealthCare DR solutions for further cost reduction.
DX-D 100 – The highly maneuverable, wireless DX-D 100 direct radiography (DR) unit features FreeView Technology for better maneuverability and ease of use by offering a telescoping column for an unobstructed view while driving and positioning the mobile DR system. The unobstructed view offers enhanced visibility and maneuverability while driving the unit, and allows the radiographic technologist to get to the patient swiftly and securely, especially in critical care areas crowded with overhead equipment.
DX-D 300 - The DX-D 300 DR system unites excellent image quality with complete convenience. It offers top-of-the-line technology, a single detector and a fully-motorized positioner, yet requires limited space. It can be combined with a Computed Radiography (CR) system to allow complete versatility. Its universality, flexibility and affordability make it stand out among DR systems.
DR 400 - The DR 400 system is a flexible and affordable solution that still meets the high quality image standards you demand. Floor-mounted and easy to install, it takes little space and does not require expensive ceiling supports. Capable of integrating with other elements of your existing system with little adaptation, the DR 400 offers multiple digital configurations, ranging from a CR-based solution, to a single detector DR system, to a comprehensive multi-detector DR system.
