Meeting the Regulatory Challenge with the
Only FDA-Cleared Non-OEM Solution
Richardson Healthcare, a division of Richardson Electronics,
Ltd. (NASDAQ: RELL), today announced the addition of Medic Vision
Imaging Solutions’ SafeCT®-29 that helps achieve XR-29 compliance
to our diagnostic imaging product portfolio. This solution allows
hospitals and imaging facilities to avoid facing reimbursement
penalties or investing in new equipment, ultimately saving
significant costs.
Medic Vision specializes in image enhancement and CT radiation
management solutions. The SafeCT-29 solution offers Richardson
Healthcare customers the only non-OEM solution to comply with XR-29
that is cleared by the FDA. SafeCT-29 meets the guidelines required
by CMS in the NEMA XR-29 “Smart Dose” standard for CT imaging
equipment.
SafeCT-29 is vendor-neutral, and seamlessly integrates with the
CT scanner’s existing configuration. The product creatively uses
the system’s own software to prevent scanning when assigned dosage
exceeds per-patient targets. Installation is completed within
hours, requires minimal workflow interruption, and is
cost-effective compared to other solutions on the market.
Pat Fitzgerald, Executive Vice President and General Manager of
Richardson Healthcare, said, “XR-29 compliance represents a crucial
challenge for our customers. It was important for us to help find a
reliable, FDA-cleared product that lets providers keep their
current technology in place without losing valuable reimbursement
revenues. We believe SafeCT-29 is a great, affordable answer to
this challenge, and we are proud to help bring it to our
market.”
