UCHealth Greeley Hospital of Greeley, Colo., recently became the first healthcare facility in the United States to adopt the Mobilett Elara Max, a mobile X-ray system from Siemens Healthineers that enables comprehensive IT security, as well as secure system integration into the hospital’s IT environment. UCHealth Greeley has installed two Mobilett Elara Max systems: a standard model and a pediatric-friendly version featuring a giraffe design.

In addition to a security package that helps facilities cope with cyber threats and virtual workstation technology that permits bedside access to patient information, the Mobilett Elara Max has an ergonomic design complete with an antimicrobial coating and fully integrated cables for an unobstructed front view that enables safe maneuverability.
