June 18, 2009 - Micro Power Supplies Carestream Health with Battery and Charger for Medical Imaging Device
June 18, 2009 - Micro Power announced that it has been awarded the supplier of Lithium-polymer battery packs and chargers for the new CARESTREAM DRX-1 System detector. The DRX-1 system detector allows the user to capture digital radiography images using conventional x-ray equipment and procedures, so disruption, downtime and training is minimal. The wireless battery-powered detector provides the cordless positioning freedom of a conventional cassette. As the world’s first wireless cassette-sized DR detector, it simply slides into the table or wall-stand Bucky, or can be used for tabletop projections, just like a traditional cassette. The remarkably thin form factor and extremely light weight of eight and a half pounds is enabled in large part by the use of a state of the art Lithium-polymer battery pack provided by Micro Power.
