EDGE Medical Devices Launches Plasma Flat-Panel Digital Radiography Detector and Universal Retrofit Kit

RAANANA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EDGE Medical Devices today announced the commercial release of its flat-panel digital radiography detector and universal retrofit kit. The plasma-based direct conversion technology was pioneered by EDGE and is the culmination of more than ten years of research and development, laboratory and clinical testing. EDGE delivers a high-quality, cost-effective upgrade from analog to digital that addresses market demand for more affordable cassette-less X-ray equipment.

Developed and manufactured by EDGE, the QuixFP-100 Flat Panel Digital Detector with Plasma DR™ Readout Technology provides a cost and performance advantage over Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) Active Matrix Array-based detectors; it does not require the costly and complex manufacturing process used to make TFTs. The detectors are permanently zero-defect, from installation through years of imaging, and offer a full pixel matrix with no dead lines, pixels or pixel clusters.

The detector has regulatory approval and is packaged for OEMs, integrators and VARs as part of the Quix™ universal retrofit kit, which maximizes return on investment by enabling digital upgrades to any new or previously installed equipment. This streamlines installation and minimizes downtime during the transition from analog to digital.
