Published: 07/01

FRANKLIN PARK, IL, USA - (HealthTech Wire) -  Del Global Technologies Corp. (OTCBB: DGTC) ("Del Global" or "the Company") today announced production of the Del Load Center (DLC) for the general imaging industry. The DLC is the first of a new generation of green products that Del will be manufacturing and distributing for use in the general imaging, digital, chiropractic and veterinarian radiography markets.

The DLC unifies the power supply for an entire radiographic diagnostic x-ray suite by connecting all equipment to a single source of power. The wall-mounted control panel power activates the DLC with a key switch. Then, with the push of a button, power is supplied to the entire x-ray system. A "power on" light indicates at a glance whether the equipment in the room is on or off and an emergency override shut off switch is included as a safety feature. Placement of the control panel near the entrance door allows for quick, efficient powering up and down of the entire room. In addition to saving time, powering down the entire room when not in use for extended periods of time can be easily achieved, contributing to the energy efficiency of imaging facilities.

According to Joseph Flies, Vice President of Operations for the Del Medical Systems Group, "As a global corporation, we need to focus our ingenuity and knowledge on sustainability by creating products that are healthier for the environment. The DLC Load Center will reduce energy costs and create other efficiencies that are part of a trend to cut down on overall footprint and usage. Del realizes now more than ever that setting a course on creating greener alternatives is what the future is all about. The DLC Load center will be the first of many new and exciting products geared towards helping the environment."

The move to green in healthcare is evidenced by high profile initiatives such as the Environmental Preferable Purchasing (EPP) Policy Statement for Health Care issued by the Global Health and Safety Initiative (GHSI), a sector-wide collaboration created to transform the way healthcare designs, builds and operates facilities and the products used in those facilities. Del is committed to ongoing research and design that will lead to other green products.
