Carestream Health Receives License from Health Canada For New DRX-1 System

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 28 — Carestream Health, Inc., has obtained a medical device license from Health Canada for its CARESTREAM DRX-1 System and will immediately begin taking orders for this innovative digital radiography system in Canada.

The DRX-1 system is the world’s first wireless, cassette-sized DR detector designed to fit existing x-ray rooms without modification.

“Our new DR system is designed to solve workflow and productivity challenges that healthcare providers face every day—and it can help them to improve patient care while reducing expenses,” said Diana L. Nole, President, Digital Medical Solutions, Carestream Health. “The DRX-1 can help medical professionals achieve the benefits of an all-digital workflow at a lower cost. It is an extremely attractive option for facilities that want to improve productivity and image quality in existing film or CR rooms, but may not have the budget for equipment replacement during these challenging economic times.”
