GE Healthcare Expands Portfolio of ecomagination Products

Press releases may be edited for formatting or style | February 02, 2010
- GE's WAVE Bioreactor system, used for vaccine and other biotherapeutics production, enables cell culturing without requiring cleaning or steam sterilization by using disposable bags rather than large stainless steel tanks. This reduces water and energy consumption - and staff time requirements - compared to the stainless steel bioreactor it replaces. GE's WAVE Bioreactor system reduces annual energy consumption for users by up to 43 percent.
- GE Healthcare's +PLUSPAKTM polymer bottle for contrast media offers significant advantages over traditional glass packaging, including less cost for waste disposal, reduced storage, and improved workplace safety for healthcare workers who administer contrast media to patients. +PLUSPAKTM polymer bottle achieves these benefits through its patented design and pharmaceutical grade polypropylene composition, which result in smaller, lighter, and safer packaging than glass. By using the GE Healthcare +PLUSPAK(TM) polymer bottle, a radiology department can reduce the weight of its contrast media red bag waste by more than 75 percent.

The ecomagination Product Review (EPR) process provides a third-party verification of claims, quantifying operating and environmental performance benefits that accrue to GE's customers by using ecomagination products relative to baselines such as competitors' best products, the installed base of products and regulatory standards. These ecomagination claims can be found in GE's printed materials and advertisements and on the Web at www.ge.com/ecomagination. Ecomagination products are re-approved regularly to help ensure that claims remain accurate.
