And this is by far not all! Did you get curious?

We are looking forward to your visit at this years MEDICA:
PROTEC in hall 12, stand A63.

Mr. Erhard Fichtner, Managing Director and proprietor of PROTEC, was invited to this special event as lecturer besides other executives of universities, associations and enterprises like Philips or General Electric. A major consideration was given to the prospect of Medical Technology as a key segment of health care industry.

In particular, Mr. Fichtner emphasised 'the need to act in the market keeping ears perked up and eyes peeled'. For PROTEC he underlined the recipe for success in 'maintaining flexibility to be able to provide fast and customer oriented, individual solutions'. PROTEC's success was principally based on the very loyal relationship to its approx. 500 distributors in more than 100 countries worldwide and thus the close contact to customers whose requirements enjoy highest priority, Erhard Fichtner explained.

The concept shows three possible ways for our dealers, but also for new potential partners to get to a DR x-ray image:

1. With the CONAXX DR-Software PROTEC can already operate many flatpanel detectors of the known manufacturers and generate a DICOM x-ray image.

2. The next step will be PROTEC’s own complete solution consisting of software, flatpanel detector and switchbox including power supply, which can be used for retrofitting existing analogue x-ray units into DR-Systems, too.

3. Besides image acquisition our CONAXX DR-Software can operate x-ray generators, too. Synchronizing the flatpanel detectors with the generators will become more easy with this software solution. This could be interesting for all manufacturers of digital x-ray systems.

To our distribution partners we will send a newsletter with more detailed information about PROTEC’s DR activities shortly.

As a manufacturer we sell only brand new processors and therefore we have offered our latest model ECOMAX™. It was designed especially for the entry level market segment, i.e. private practitioners or smaller clinics with less throughput of film or veterinarians who do x-rays.

Since the original inquiry was for a second hand processor we did not expect to get the order, because we thought our price could not be competitive. Therefore we were even more surprised when we received the purchase order from Afghanistan.

After clarifying all shipping details and payment terms, our ECOMAX™ with serial no. 0290 went via Dubai off to Kabul where it has arrived safely. What we can see from the pictures and the friendly letter that we have received from “DK - German Medical Diagnostic Centre”, it seems our ECOMAX™ has landed in caring hands.

We are very happy that with our ECOMAX™ x-ray film processor we can give a small contribution for improving the diagnostic infrastructure in Kabul. The positive feedback directly from the enduser is another proof for us that it was the right decision to launch a new x-ray film processor model in the digital age. In addition we have managed to design a processor that works troublefree even in environments where the circumstances are not always optimal.

We wish “DK - German Medical Diagnostic Centre” all the best and hope they can enjoy working with our ECOMAX™ for a very long time.
