Sustainability and healthcare. Two related words, in a sense. Sustainability, about healing the earth. Healthcare on the other hand, caring for humans. There are many initiatives, and incorporations in medical equipment that supports sustainability.
Introducing the Samsung AccE GM85, a sustainable medical machine. The AccE GM85 is a mobile digital radiography system, allowing easy navigation through anywhere with its compact design. Following Samsung’s “Everyday sustainability,” the AccE GM85 has sustainability thought of in every area, from sourcing of recycled materials to sustainable distribution to sustainable usage.
Every step to create this machine was thought in accordance with sustainability. Reusing polycarbonate waste to create recycled resin, to create an eco-friendly component to the air vent exterior cover.
Also transitioning to using more sustainable packaging, Samsung aims to eliminate the entire use of EPE materials, applying recycled paper to 15 products this year, up from the 7 in 2022. There can be up to 70 tons of reduction in CO2 emissions per year and 95% reduction in plastics because of this switch.
Apart from such sustainable innovations, the AccE GM85 features an even powerful battery. Since the procedure volume of mobile x-ray increases to deal with a large number of patient volume, Samsung has focused more on efficient mobile DR imaging based on its accumulated battery technology. On a single charge, compared to the conventional GM85, the upgraded lithium-ion battery offers 54% longer operating time.
The AccE GM85 is built for convenience and comfort not just for clinicians but also patients. Reducing the noise level by 9dB compared to the conventional GM85, reducing disruption to patients. With an added night mode, the screen color, temperature and noises are adjusted accordingly. Essential for taking x-ray exams in a quiet environment such as the NICU. In addition, the quick exposure feature is useful for pediatric patients who find it difficult to maintain a stationary posture.
Being ultra-compact, it is extremely easy to maneuver the AccE GM85 through narrow hallways or tight spaces. Lightweight, it is hassle free to move around weight limits.
Clinicians can expect confidence in the diagnosis with this machine. Providing excellence in image quality and securing better patient safety in radiography examinations, helping to contribute to patient satisfaction.
Digital attacks, data leaks has also been on the rise. With Samsung Healthcare Cybersecurity, you can expect a peace of mind. Aiming to abide by the CIA triad (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability.)
Built to accelerate experience, providing advanced driving experience and advanced applications to support enhanced usability and high image quality.
