Carestream Health India sells 100th Vita Flex CR System within two months of its launch

Customers appreciate user-friendly features of this new system

Carestream Health India has sold its 100th Vita Flex CR System, which was launched in January, 2015. Carestream Health’s engineers used innovative design methods and components for the Vita Flex CR platform, which combines high image quality with reliability, a compact footprint and an affordable price tag.

“Sales have exceeded our expectations and our company has boosted production capacities to keep pace with the increasing demand. Our customers appreciate the improved performance and image quality offered by this tabletop CR system. Easy installation and reduced service cost add to customers’ delight,” said Sushant Kinra, MD, Carestream Health India.

The company’s Vita Flex CR system is being used by independent imaging centres, clinics, multi-physician offices, hospitals and orthopaedic facilities who want an affordable, compact CR system that is also easy to use. “These facilities want to implement digital imaging technology and many are choosing the Vita CR platform to make that conversion,” Kinra added.

The Vita Flex CR system weighs just 25 kgs and is smaller and lighter than many other tabletop CR solutions. It is flexible enough to be operated vertically as well as horizontally, and can process CR cassettes sitting on the floor, a tabletop or desktop or even from the back of a van.

The compact nature and simplicity of use of the machine is what appeals to Dr Abhijit Agashe an orthopaedic surgeon from Agashe Clinic, Pune, one of the users of Vita Flex CR System. “VITA Flex CR system is suitable for both centralised and decentralised workflow environments and can be used right in the exam room,” said Dr Agashe.

It’s small footprint made it best for diagnostic imaging functions at point of patient care,” he commented.
