MEDRAD Installs 5,000th MEDRAD Vistron CT Injection System
Sao Paulo, Brazil — MEDRAD has installed its 5,000th MEDRAD Vistron CT® Injection System at Centro Radiologico Campinas, the diagnostic imaging service of Vera Cruz Hospital in Campinas, Brazil. MEDRAD provides in-country support through MEDRAD do Brasil, which is based in São Paulo.
MEDRAD Vistron CT has a reputation for value, safety, ease-of-use, and reliability, delivering better than 99.9% uptime, according to the company. Since the product launched globally in 1998, it has been installed in 115 countries.
"We have worked with MEDRAD for 10 years and they have always provided us with reliable equipment and support we can trust," said Dr. Adilson Prando, who heads the clinic. "MEDRAD products have helped our business grow and we will be able to image 1,200 additional patients each year with our new MEDRAD Vistron CT Injection System. Having MEDRAD here in Brazil helps us continually deliver the best patient care possible."
MEDRAD do Brasil is one of 16 in-country MEDRAD offices that provide trusted, timely sales and service support. Continued growth in the Brazilian market prompted a recent move to a new location in the Wall Street Building in São Paulo.
Jaime Murata, General Manager of MEDRAD do Brasil, attributes MEDRAD's growth and the opening of a new office to customers like Dr. Prando.
"We've grown our Brazilian business at a rate of 30% per year for one reason; we partner with our customers to provide world-class healthcare," Murata said. "We're proud to provide Centro Radiologico Campinas with products and services that they value and to improve the quality of healthcare in our country."
MEDRAD CT injection systems are innovative medical devices for contrast delivery. A contrast agent is a liquid that is injected into a patient's bloodstream during imaging exams to highlight specific areas and make them more visible on CT images. CT injectors play an important role in many diagnostic procedures. MEDRAD introduced the first CT injector in the mid-1980s and continues to develop the most advanced technology today.
The 5,000th installation of MEDRAD Vistron CT comes just four months after the 5,000th installation of MEDRAD's Stellant CT Injection System.
