This clearance has the potential to change the way radiologists work, freeing them from traditional fixed workstations and paving the way for greater work flexibility and financial efficiencies.
The company submitted the Rad@ application with FDA in 2016 and was granted clearance in January 2017. Under the prior clearance, however, they were prohibited from diagnostic reading because of the absence of a PACS diagnostic workstation. As a result, of this new FDA clearance radiologists can now interpret images and make diagnosis independent of their location.
The sophisticated system allows radiologists to view images from any PACS/RIS system for remote diagnostic reading when VPN access is available. The system is highly secure as it uses lightning cables for data transmission to ensure solid data security. Once the device is turned off all image pixel data on the screen is erased, eliminating HIPAA concerns.

With EBM’s Rad@ solution, radiologists can now dictate radiological exams in places where previously they could not, and at a fraction cost of the traditional PACS workstation.
