CoActiv to Distribute Agfa CR and Dry Imager Lines
Chicago, November 26, 2006 — CoActiv Medical, a developer and marketer of healthcare digital image and information management systems, announces an agreement with Agfa Healthcare for the distribution of its complete line of computed radiography (CR) devices and digital imagers in the radiology, veterinary, orthopedic and chiropractic markets. The agreement will enable CoActiv to offer complete digital solutions for all prospective clients, including many of its small radiology clinic and healthcare specialty clients, which currently rely primarily on plain film x-ray to meet their imaging needs.
“The Agfa CR line is a perfect complement to our EXAM-PACS®,” said Ed Heere, President of CoActiv Medical. “Both product lines offer outstanding performance and value for a reasonable price. Many of our clients, especially those who are not radiologists, use x-ray as their exclusive or primary imaging modality. In particular, we anticipate strong sales for the new Agfa CR-30 table top model, which is an excellent choice for our medical specialty markets. We are proud to have been selected to distribute Agfa’s high-quality line.”
CoActiv’s high-performance, cost effective radiology EXAM-PACS is installed in hospitals and radiology clinics around the country and is the choice for advanced functionality at a reasonable price. In addition, CoActiv has been developing and marketing PACS for other medical specialists since 2003. The company was selected as an Agfa dealer, in part, because it has significant penetration in these markets. Complementing the CRs, CoActiv also will distribute Agfa’s full range of dry imagers, including the popular 4500M, the ideal solution for the rapidly expanding FFD digital mammography market. “We anticipate strong demand for the new mammography printer as more and more sites convert to a digital format for these exams,” said Heere.
“We found that many prospective clients are looking for a one-stop source when converting from film-based imaging to a digital imaging environment. While our EXAM-PACS product is the ideal solution both from a functional and affordable perspective, when converting their existing DICOM compliant modalities to a digital PACS environment, we still had to help these clients find a way to upgrade their old x-ray rooms in order to go completely filmless. The addition of the Agfa CR products to our lineup of solutions now give us the ability to offer a complete digital upgrade to imaging facilities of all sizes and specialties, from small orthopedic offices to the largest multi-site imaging centers and hospital campuses.”
