Richardson Healthcare, a Division of Richardson Electronics Ltd., has an exclusive distribution agreement with Cool Pair Plus, an independent equipment sales and service company. Under the terms of the agreement, Richardson Healthcare will be responsible for the sale of cryogenic replacement components including MRI coldheads, compressors, flexlines and adsorbers to its customers within the United States.
Cool Pair Plus (CPP) was founded in 1995 and provides MRI cryogenic equipment and parts to the health care industry. CPP offers technical support, exchange and repair services for MRI coldheads and compressors across many brands.
With its International Medical Equipment and Service (IMES) division based in South Carolina, Richardson Healthcare provides reliable, cost-saving solutions worldwide for major brands of CT and MRI equipment. This agreement complements Richardson Healthcare’s product portfolio and supports the expansion of its offerings of diagnostic imaging replacement parts and high-value components. Richardson Healthcare and Cool Pair Plus share a commitment to OEM-quality through on-site testing and repairs, which serves as the foundation for this relationship.
Richardson Healthcare also has announced the addition of Medic Vision Imaging Solutions’ SafeCT-29 that helps achieve XR-29 compliance to its diagnostic imaging product portfolio. This solution allows hospitals and imaging facilities to avoid facing reimbursement penalties or investing in new equipment, ultimately saving significant costs.
Medic Vision specializes in image enhancement and CT radiation management solutions. The SafeCT-29 solution offers Richardson Healthcare customers the only non-OEM solution to comply with XR-29 that is cleared by the FDA. SafeCT-29 meets the guidelines required by CMS in the NEMA XR-29 “Smart Dose” standard for CT imaging equipment.
SafeCT-29 is vendor-neutral and integrates with the CT scanner’s existing configuration. The product creatively uses the system’s own software to prevent scanning when assigned dosage exceeds per-patient targets. Installation is completed within hours, requires minimal workflow interruption, and is cost-effective compared to other solutions on the market.
“XR-29 compliance represents a crucial challenge for our customers,” Richardson Healthcare Executive Vice President and General Manager Pat Fitzgerald said. “It was important for us to help find a reliable, FDA-cleared product that lets providers keep their current technology in place without losing valuable reimbursement revenues. We believe SafeCT-29 is a great, affordable answer to this challenge, and we are proud to help bring it to our market.”
