New York Imaging Service becomes an authorized distributor of Quix Plasma DR digital detector

EDGE Medical Devices today announced that New York Imaging Service has become an authorized distributor of the Quix™ Plasma DR™ digital detector and Universal Retrofit Kit. New York Imaging Service will provide the Quix product line to hospitals, imaging facilities and medical centers in the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut tri-state region.

According to Bill Haussmann, president of New York Imaging Service, “EDGE’s successful use of direct conversion represents a true breakthrough in digital detector technology. Direct conversion is the gold standard that this industry has been shooting for, and EDGE has delivered without using TFTs. This is the type of practical innovation, typically reserved for university hospital settings, that allows us to deliver superior products at a lower cost to our customers, making DR affordable to a broader range of medical facilities.”

New York Imaging Service recently installed Quix at Phelps Memorial Hospital Center in Sleepy Hollow, NY. “The installation went smoothly and the transition was seamless with virtually no learning curve for the technicians,” said Haussmann. “Most importantly, the radiologists were extremely satisfied with the image quality,” he added.

EDGE’s Quix™ Universal Retrofit Kit is an affordable, turnkey upgrade to digital x-ray imaging for any new or existing equipment. The kit has both single and dual-detector configuration options to upgrade RAD tables, wall stands, U-/C-arm and other positioning devices to DR. Also included is the touch-screen Quix Operator Console for DR workflow, image processing, export, print and DICOM storage. Products in the Quix Universal Retrofit Kit are FDA 510(k), CE and UL certified.

“New York Imaging Service is at the forefront of digital imaging and recognizes the value of affordable, high quality, easy-to-install DR,” said Rick Sbordone, Vice President of North American Sales for EDGE Medical Devices. “They are the first to embrace innovation when it delivers a true advantage to their customers,” added Sbordone.
