Carestream Health Now Taking Orders for DRX-Mobile Retrofit Kit

ROCHESTER, N.Y., March 24 — Carestream Health announced it is taking orders for its CARESTREAM DRX-Mobile Retrofit Kit that will allow healthcare providers to upgrade selected mobile x-ray systems to wireless DRX-1 technology. This wireless DR system can help increase on-site productivity and deliver immediate access to images for improved patient care, especially for critically ill patients in emergency rooms, operating rooms and the ICU. The company is taking orders for the retrofit kit in countries where it has regulatory approval. The system will be available this summer.

The DRX-Mobile Retrofit Kit can be installed quickly and is powered by Carestream Health’s highly successful DRX-1 detector. The cassette-size detector’s wireless capabilities allow users to capture and view images in seconds at the point of patient care. Medical images can be forwarded to multiple network destinations, so clinicians can make a rapid diagnosis and begin immediate treatment. This wireless workflow improves patient care and boosts staff productivity. CR-based mobile systems require technologists to travel to a centralized CR reader for image processing, which creates a cumbersome workflow that delays image access.
