2020: Doubling of production for fight against COVID-19
At the beginning of May, 2020 it became known that Carestream Health increases production of mobile systems of digital roentgenography (DR) to help health workers during flash of COVID-19.
As the producer, mobile says X-ray system - useful tools for inspections of patients with suspicion on COVID-19. These devices can be brought directly to a bed that reduces need of transportation of potentially infectious patients and also they easily give in to disinfection. Besides, in organizations different methods of use mobile X-ray systems, safe are developed for personnel.
Considering the above, Carestream Health doubled production mobile X-ray systems of Carex DRX-Revolution and DRX-Revolution Nano which provide high-quality images in real time. At the same time Carex DRX-Revolution displays limit penetration of liquid and provide a smooth surface for disinfection. Scanners of a barcode of this system automatically enter information on the patient when scanning hospital bracelets that allows medics to begin inspection quickly. Not motorized mobile DRX-Revolution Nano X-ray system also allows to conduct examination directly at the patient's bed, and its extralight design facilitates maneuverability and positioning of the patient that, according to developers, is especially important in the conditions of fight against COVID-19 at heavy loads on medical institutions.
 | Our manufacturing enterprises and warehouses work at full capacity, and employees work after hours to support health workers, - the general manager of Carestream Charlie Hicks noted. - The same way suppliers and partners of Carestream increase production to help the world to endure this humanitarian crisis.[1] |  |
2017: Announcement of Carestream DRX-Revolution Nano
On November 13, 2017 the Carestream Health company announced the portable x-ray device Carestream DRX-Revolution Nano. Compact dimensions, small weight and energy efficiency which are reached thanks to technology of carbon nanotubes became its distinctive feature.
The producer calls DRX-Revolution Nano facilitated not motorized X-ray system which is easy for moving and setting even in close hospital premises.
In Carestream Health referred completely integrated digital workflow, modern design, the improved overview to innovation advantages over and around a system, small weight (about 200 pounds — a little more than 90 kg), the reduced physical sizes in comparison with other similar mobile solutions and support of all detectors Carestream DRX.
Carestream DRX-Revolution Nano uses technology of carbon nanotubes and lities - the iron-phosphatic rechargeable battery, ensuring to the device long independent operation. Time of functioning of a system without recharge is not specified. Nanotubes play a role of a source of electrons instead of thermal electron emission which is applied in many other x-ray tubes. The new technology significantly increases energy efficiency, claim in the company.
According to the president of division of Carestream Digital Medical Solutions Jianqing Bennett, the DRX-Revolution Nano system having important advantages regarding performance and ergonomics radically changes the market of technologies of x-ray visualization
The public presentation of Carestream DRX-Revolution Nano will take place within the RSNA 2017 conference (Radiological Society of North America) which will take place from November 26 to December 1 in Chicago (USA). System entry into the commercial market is planned for 2018.[2]
