The Rad-X Filter The Most Advanced Power Protection & Filtration System for PET/CT

Overview

The Rad-X Filter (“RXF”) offers a more suitable solution for safeguarding your PET/CT than conventional power conditioners and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. Each RXF unit is custom-configured specifically for the Make and Model of your PET/CT and the final circuit that directly powers your PET/CT.

Benefits

CLINICAL: The RXF improves the quality and reliability of patient care
by ensuring the underlying technology performs at its peak.
OPERATIONAL: The RXF acts as a proactive tool to streamline the
management and uptime of high-value medical assets.
FINANCIAL: Revenue Protection: Every hour a PET/CT is down
represents lost revenue. Improved uptime directly leads to higher
patient throughput and maximized billing opportunities.

Technical Features

The RXF is designed as an in-line, series, low-pass, bi-directional, pi-configuration power filtration system that utilizes reactors and capacitors, along with transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS). Its primary function is to attenuate High Frequency Electrical Noise (“HFEN”) and Low-Level Voltage Impulses (“LLVI”) through three main mechanisms:

Every time PET/CT is performed, the RXF attenuates HFEN and LLVI generated by the PET/CT itself (load-generated) from echoing back into the PET/CT and degrading its CT tube and electronic components, causing them to eventually fail.
It attenuates HFEN and LLVI generated by external sources (line-generated) and prevents this unwanted energy from infiltrating the PET/CT electronic components, and causing intermittent disruption and premature component failures.
It stops HFEN and LLVI generated by the PET/CT every time a PET/CT is performed from adversely affecting neighboring imaging and therapy systems that share the common 480-volt electrical system.

Additional Capabilities

In addition to attenuating HFEN and LLVI, the RXF effectively suppresses power spikes, transients, low-frequency impulses, and even transients caused by severe lightning and utility company equipment failures.

Installation and Warranty

The RXF is wall-mounted, preserving valuable floor space. It is backed by a five-year warranty, and there is no requirement for a service contract.
