| Back to VIDAR Products Page. SIERRA plus :: Product Data / Cut Sheet Compact and Affordable for a Variety of Healthcare Settings Maintenance Free Design and Lower Cost of Ownership Unlike other digitizers that require biannual calibration or cleaning, VIDAR digitizers need no maintenance or calibration, saving nearly $2,000 annually. The straight-line film path reduces the need for costly service calls ($500 or more each) due to film jams. Parts replacement, on-site service, shipping, and service costs for factory repairs can reach $4,500 annually for laser digitizers. These substantial cost differences are illustrated by a comparative analysis created by PACS expert Michael Cannavo. An analysis of a three-year total cost of ownership demonstrates that the cost of owning a laser digitizer is significantly more than that of a SIERRA plus. Flexibility of Siting At just 21.5 pounds, the SIERRA plus is much lighter than other digitizers that weigh 50-200 pounds. This light weight, combined with its small size, about that of a one-panel light box, makes the wall-mountable SIERRA plus ideal for crowded radiology offices and hospitals, where space often is at a premium. It also means that the SIERRA plus can be deployed in a number of other settings where quick access to high quality electronic images would enhance patient care, such as the emergency department, intensive care unit, and coronary care unit, as well as at teaching hospitals and alternate care settings. ![]() |
