The Xybix Radiology Desk recently earned an Innovative Technology Contract with the Vizient healthcare purchasing organization. Healthcare organizations that purchase through Vizient have assurances that the products passed rigorous research and hands-on reviews while providing the best value.

“This contract provides an easier path to purchasing, enabling us to help even more radiologists and healthcare workers,” says Doug Herman, Vice President of Marketing and Sales at Xybix Systems.

“The Xybix Radiology Desk was designed with the user at its core. Through years of intense research, customer feedback, engineering, design, and testing, we developed an ergonomic solution that allows radiologists to work more comfortably and efficiently,” adds Herman. “Everything from the sit-to-stand flexibility and monitor adjustments to personal lighting and climate options are proven to support greater accuracy, focus, and well-being.”

A Truly Innovative Technology

Xybix Radiology Desks are specifically designed to reduce pain common to radiologists and enable diagnostic accuracy in the following ways:

• Wrist and shoulder injury prevention: The height-adjustable range, which exceeds the American National Standard Institute’s HFES 100-2007 Human Factors Engineering of Computer Workstations standard, ensures that any user can position the desktop at the proper ergonomic height.
• Eyestrain and neck pain prevention: The patented Rollervision technology allows users to quickly glide their monitor array into the ergonomic viewing angle and distance specified by the HFES 100-2007 standard.
• Headache and eye fatigue prevention: Built-in bias (ambient) lighting and task lighting help radiologists refocus their eyes as they look from screens to patient charts to other resources in a darker reading room.
• Healthy air guarantee: Xybix tailors its manufacturing processing to minimize volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and meet the GREENGUARD Gold Certification. This reduces the chance of health impacts such as eye irritation, headaches, and low concentration.
• Noise pollution prevention: Acoustic panel systems with a verified Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 0.75 reduce distraction, enable accurate audio recordings, and protect patient privacy.
• Creature comforts enhance morale and productivity: Thoughtful touches designed for the comfort and convenience of the radiologist may include a personal fan and heater, built-in cupholder, charging shelf for device charging, and LED lighting in all the colors of the rainbow. The AXYS Control System software allows you to save all comfort, light and height settings with a single click.

A Rigorous Review Process

In the application process, Xybix carefully detailed the issues radiologists face, the desk features designed to address those issues, and the evidence supporting the features (such as government standards and certifications). Then, hospital experts on a Vizient client-led council evaluated the Xybix Radiology Desk to verify the technologies and their potential for improving healthcare.

The rigorous application and review process leading to the Vizient Awarded Supplier designation ultimately benefit Vizient Members through quality guarantee and streamlined procurement process.
