INDIANOLA, Pa., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- MEDRAD today introduced the Certo(TM) MR Wireless Network, a revolutionary wireless network for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.

The first wireless-enabled MEDRAD product to operate on the Certo Network is the Veris(R) MR Patient Monitor with the Veris remote display. Certo allows Veris to freely travel with the patient from the prep room to the scanner room and then to the recovery area, while maintaining full communication with the remote display on the network. Clinicians can focus less on equipment and more on patient care while efficiently managing patients through the scanner suite.
“MEDRAD’s focus is to identify market needs and then create innovative products that deliver high customer value,” said Gary Bucciarelli, senior vice president, magnetic resonance business unit. “The MR marketplace is ready for a robust, reliable wireless network like Certo for the flexibility, ease-of- care, and increased throughput demanded of MR healthcare providers.”
For over a decade, MEDRAD has delivered advanced technology to the MR suite and supported it with a robust global support organization. Other MEDRAD MR products include the Spectris Solaris(R) EP Injection System, a wide array of Leading Image(TM) Coils, Continuum MR Infusion System, as well as the Veris MR Patient Monitor, winner of the Frost & Sullivan Customer Value Enhancement Award in 2005.
