Shimadzu Medical Systems USA Secures Renewal of Seismic Certification

Shimadzu Medical Systems USA (SMS), a subsidiary of Shimadzu Precision Instruments, Inc., proudly announces the renewal of its HCAI Special Seismic Certification for the RADspeed series of radiographic systems. This renewal not only underscores the company's commitment to healthcare safety but also emphasizes the importance of earthquake-resistant medical equipment in California.

Importance of Seismic Certification

The HCAI Special Seismic Certification enables medical devices to meet the stringent requirements for earthquake preparedness. This is especially critical in California, a region known for its seismic activity. By renewing this certification, Shimadzu ensures that health facilities across the state can trust that their x-ray systems will remain operational in the event of an earthquake, safeguarding the health of patients and staff alike.

Features of the RADspeed Pro SR5 Version

The latest addition to the RADspeed family, the RADspeed Pro SR5 version, features a comprehensive redesign aimed at enhancing usability and efficiency in clinical settings. With improved controls, radiography procedures become simpler, thanks to better visibility and streamlined operability. The ergonomic enhancements to the X-ray tube’s handle ensure that medical professionals can operate the equipment comfortably, minimizing the risk of strain or injury during long hours.

One of the standout features of this system is the "VISION SUPPORT" imaging assistance. This innovative tool employs an optical camera positioned in the x-ray field, allowing healthcare providers to superimpose the patient's position on the monitor alongside the x-ray irradiation area. Such technology reduces the time required to ascertain the ideal imaging position, which traditionally can be a cumbersome process. If a patient inadvertently shifts, the optical camera instantly detects this movement and alerts the operator via sound and display notifications, effectively minimizing the chances of retakes.

Addressing Healthcare Workers' Challenges

In the fast-paced environment of healthcare, efficiency and accuracy are paramount. The updates integrated into the RADspeed Pro SR5 system not only streamline examination procedures but also alleviate the burden placed on healthcare workers. By creating a system that is not only easier to use but also minimizes the possibility of errors, Shimadzu is pioneering a future where medical imaging is both effective and less taxing for those who operate these machines.
