Carestream DRX-Revolution
Modality: Mobile DR
Carestream's flagship battery-powered mobile DR — collapsing-column tube-arm design that reduces transit footprint between exam locations. Widely deployed in ICU, ED, and bedside-imaging fleets globally. Direct competitor to GE Optima XR220amx and Siemens Mobilett Mira in the mainstream mobile DR segment.
Distinctive technology
- Collapsing tube column — drops the tube head down for transit, reducing operator sightline obstruction.
- DRX wireless flat-panel detectors (Plus / Plus C / Plus 3543C) — Carestream's cross-platform detector family.
- Onboard touchscreen acquisition + DICOM workflow.
- Powered drive — assist motor for ICU / ED transport.
- Tube load — battery-fed generator suitable for chest, abdomen, and extremity portable exams.
Refurb posture
- Strong refurb supply — large installed base globally, mature service network.
- Detector inventory is the cart-value driver — DRX wireless detectors are expensive and the most frequently-dropped component on portable units.
- Battery condition + drive-motor wear are the secondary refurb due-diligence items.
