ELIZABETH, N.J., Nov. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Swissray International announced today that they have been awarded a contract by the Defense Supply Center of Philadelphia to sell their complete line of digital radiography systems. This contract allows any branch of the Department of Defense or Government Agency to purchase directly from Swissray.
Swissray has a long and successful track record of selling directly to the US Government. Prior to being awarded this contract Swissray held a contract with the National Acquisition Center. Swissray has installed their film-less direct digital radiography systems into many Veterans Administration Hospitals over the past five years. They have also been successful selling to the military, with installations at several base hospitals.
"We are very excited about the opportunity to provide our US Military, Veterans and Government Workers with the absolute best digital X-ray technology available," said John Monahan, Vice President of Corporate Accounts, Swissray International, Inc. Monahan adds, "It has become very apparent to Swissray that the agencies of the US government appreciate buying directly from the manufacturer without having to go through third parties."
The timing of this contract coincides very well with the launch of several of their new products. While continuing to market their patented Quad CCD detector, this month Swissray will introduce at the Radiological Society of North America meeting their newest amorphous silicon flat panel detector. As the first company to obtain FDA approval for digital radiography, they are again the first and only one to offer a choice of detector technology.
