SALT LAKE CITY, May 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Varex Imaging
Corporation (Nasdaq: VREX) today announced it will showcase its
latest digital detectors, X-ray imaging tubes, connect and control
devices and software solutions at the Chinese Medical Equipment
Fair (CMEF), Asia Pacific's
leading event for the healthcare value chain, in Shanghai on May 14-17,
2019.
Varex will also launch its new 'Local for Local' campaign at
CMEF. This initiative reflects an investment in the company's Wuxi
facility to service business in China with increased local X-ray tube and
digital detector manufacturing and the aim of being global partners
for local business.
"We are a global company that brings innovative X-ray imaging
components to imaging systems manufacturers. One of our strategies
is to be globally local and get as close to our customers as
possible by establishing local commercial relationships, delivering
local service and support, and sourcing from local suppliers as
much as possible. Our customers in China want a local partner and we believe the
investment in and expansion of our Wuxi facility is a key element
for Varex to be successful in China," said Sunny
Sanyal, Chief Executive Officer of Varex Imaging
Corporation.
More specifically, the investment in the company's Wuxi facility
aims to:
- Enable Varex to offer service support, returns, delivery in
China and to provide increased
flexibility to support its customer base on a timely basis,
and
- Reduce shipping and tariff costs for customers
"Varex continues to grow its footprint in Wuxi, and we are in
the early stages of the activities that we have planned in terms of
delivering high quality service to our customers. I'm excited about
the future and our investments in Wuxi will increase the level of
customer service that we can provide our Chinese customers," stated
David O'Reilly, Senior Manager of
Operations Service Center for Varex Imaging Corporation.
At CMEF 2019, Varex will exhibit new and improved products as
well as packaged solutions for Radiography, Mammography,
Fluoroscopy and Computed Tomography (CT). Products to be showcased
include:
Digital Flat Panel Detectors
3024MX is second-generation FPD for Digital Breast
Tomosynthesis (DBT) and Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM). The
new model 3024MX has a maximum frame rate of 5 fps, 40% higher
saturation dose, and improved low dose performance which makes
3024MX a robust and cost-efficient choice for 3D tomosynthesis and
mammography.
CMOS 3131 is a large area FPD with great low-dose
performance and imaging speed for Mobile C-arm, Cardiovascular, and
Dental CBCT applications.
3131Z first in a planned series of Indium Gallium Zinc
Oxide (IGZO) based FPDs for Surgical and Dental applications with a
100 µm pixel size. The Z platform offers significant performance
benefits over most a-Si detectors.
X-Ray Tubes
The Varex mammography portfolio includes the B-121, an
upgrade to Varex's B-115 housing design. The unique fan shroud
design allows 300W of heat dissipation compared to the 100W of
dissipation with the B-115. This increase in dissipation supports
the shift to 3D tomosynthesis imaging in women's healthcare.
Varex brought the revolutionary anode end grounded X-ray tube
technology to the CT market and is now bringing that same
technology to the cardiovascular / angiography X-ray tube market
with the anode end grounded FP-1596. This is a small,
lightweight, compact design with excellent image quality due to
significant reduction in off focal radiation.
The MCS-6074 is a cost-effective replacement for the GE
Performix and Performix 40 X-Ray tube. The MCS-6074 with
conventional bearings, is optimized in form and function for use in
a wide range of GE CT scanners, including the Optima CT660. As an
updated offering from the Varex Imaging Service Solutions Group,
the MCS-6074 is available with technical and logistics support to
enable increased system uptime and assist our customers'
success.
Software
Nexus DR™ and DRF™ software are multi-purpose digital
image acquisition software systems that combines RF and DR
capabilities on one imaging platform using various flat panel
detectors.
Connect & Control Solutions
The Optica™ 10 and Optica™ 40 collimators are available for
integration with radiography and fluoroscopy systems. The Optica™
10 is a manually operated collimator for integration with mobile
and stationary radiography systems. This collimator is equipped
with a long-life power LED that projects a bright light field on
the exposed area. LED brightness and timer are adjustable via an
internal USB port.
Varex Imaging will be highlighting packaged component solutions
for medical applications at CMEF and will have their team of
imaging experts on hand at the show to advise customers on these
offerings. Andrew Hartmann, Varex Senior Vice President of
Medical Global Sales and Marketing commented, "Collaboration with
customers is something that differentiates us. Not only do we
design and build X-ray imaging components; we also have an
extensive engineering department that allows us to engage on a new
project with our customers from the very beginning and provide them
access to Varex engineers to supplement the work they are doing.
This allows us to provide customized solutions for each of our
customers."
