Carestream Health Receives FDA Clearance for New Mobile X-Ray System

Carestream received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for its DRX-Revolution Mobile X-Ray System, and is now available in the U.S., along with Europe and Canada. The DRX-Revolution enhances image quality for portable exams using a 32kW generator, DRX detector, and special software that enables the radiographer to easily align the tube with a grid. This new mobile DR system features a collapsible column that improves visibility and safety while moving the system. The DRX-Revolution also has a long tube head reach. According to Carestream, these features lead to rapid positioning; minimal intrusion on staff and surrounding equipment; and faster capture of high-quality X-ray images. The system's two monitors (the main 19-inch monitor and the 8-inch tube head monitor) provide two work zones. The DRX-Revolution offers a fast, single sign-in (via password or badge swipe) for easy start up, and uses the same software and graphic user interface as other Carestream DRX products for compatibility.
