Marketwired
Digirad Corporation (NASDAQ: DRAD) today announced that it has
received Conformite Europeene (CE) Mark approval enabling the
Company to market and distribute its ergo™ large field-of-view,
general-purpose portable imaging system throughout Europe and other
countries governed by the CE body.
Digirad's ergo imaging system ushers in a new era of freedom for
nuclear medicine. The large field, solid-state portable device
makes it possible to "image without boundaries" for a diverse range
of procedures in many areas of the hospital. The ergo's unique
ergonomic, lightweight portable design enables imaging to be
performed in the nuclear department and in other locations in the
hospital, including the ICU, CCU, OR, ER, pediatrics, trauma units,
patient floors, ambulatory services, women's health and research
areas.
Digirad CEO Todd P. Clyde stated, "The ergo imaging system
provides institutions with the means to dramatically reduce costs
for many procedures, improve patient satisfaction, raise
productivity and flexibility, and generate revenues from new
procedures -- all critical considerations for international
hospitals today."
The Company reported that it had received its first European
order for an ergo imaging system and that it will begin
commercializing the camera in Europe in early 2011.
Mr. Clyde continued, "We anticipate our first ergo imaging
system installation being in the first quarter of 2011, with other
international locations following during this year and beyond."
