Richardson Healthcare, a Division of Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (NASDAQ: RELL), announced today it has received CE Mark approval for the ALTA750® X-Ray Tube. The ALTA750 is a form, fit and function replacement for the Canon/Toshiba* CXB-750D/4A.  Richardson ships the tube with a new cable and heat exchanger, and offers a full warranty. The CE Mark confirms that our product meets the requirements of the European Medical Device Directive, and signals conformity to patient and user safety and device performance standards in the European Union.

The approval also represents a significant milestone for Richardson towards the commercialization of the ALTA750, and demonstrates the commitment we have to our existing and future customers, partners and investors. By making third party tubes and replacement parts as well as training available to third party service providers and in house service teams, Richardson is helping reduce the cost of healthcare by providing alternatives to costly OEM service agreements.

Richardson has been shipping the ALTA750 in the United States for more than 15 months.  Richardson now stocks the ALTA750 and other replacement parts for diagnostic imaging equipment in its Amsterdam facility in The Netherlands for quick availability throughout Europe.  We are ready to ship the ALTA750 to customers in the European Union, the wider EEA (European Economic Area), as well as other countries that recognize the CE-marking requirements.  For an immediate quote, please contact our team at: [e-mail] | [phone] in Europe or [phone] in the US.
