The U.S. FDA has granted 510(k) clearance for FDR (Fujifilm Digital Radiography) D-EVO (Digital Evolved) flat panel cassette from FUJIFILM Medical Systems USA, according to a press release.
According to the Fujifilm release, orthopedic practices looking to convert existing analog X-ray rooms to digital can now benefit from the ease-of-use and exceptional image quality of the FDR D-EVO as enables orthopedic practices to insert the DR detector directly into the existing X-ray table or wall stand without modification.
The FDR D-EVO is an 14” × 17” - pound cassette-sized detector provides portability to address lateral or other cassette-based exams as needed; it can even be used as a complement in existing DR rooms such as for cross-table exams, the company stated. This flexibility also makes the FDR D-EVO ideal for areas where immediate access to high quality x-ray images is crucial, like the operating room or emergency department.
“With FDR D-EVO, orthopedic practices will now benefit from the smart and easy transition to DR," Eddie Massetti, Fujifilm marketing manager, stated in the release. “Technologists will appreciate the light-weight design, simplified workflow and speed of image acquisition, orthopedists will recognize its exceptional image quality and patients will benefit from a faster, more comfortable exam.”
