Canon strengthens partnership with Arcoma by entering reseller agreement

On April 16 2018, Canon Medical Systems Europe (CMSE) B.V. has signed a reseller agreement with the Swedish medical device company Arcoma, allowing Canon Medical Systems to sell the high-end digital x-ray systems ‘Aceso’ and ‘Aceso+’ in Europe.

Arcoma and Canon Medical Systems already had a strong partnership in place, enabling Arcoma to deliver completely integrated systems to its clients using Canon’s imaging software and detectors. The reseller agreement marks a new step in the partnership.

“We were looking to strengthen our product portfolio in the diagnostic x-ray segment. The market is requesting robust and high-end auto-positioning systems," said René Degros, European sales director at CMSE. "With the Aceso and Aceso+ we will definitely integrate very reliable clinical solutions in our portfolio, allowing our customers to improve their workflow and patient outcome.”

Both Aceso and Aceso+ are high-end Arcoma solutions powered by Canon Medical Systems imaging technology.

The Aceso DR System is a high quality, yet cost-effective DR imaging solution. Featuring a variety of imaging platforms, including a new line up of high-end flat panel detectors, the Aceso provides a solution to a wide variety of clinical needs, featuring Arcoma’s Smart Space concept the system can be installed in both the tallest and shortest of rooms.

The Aceso+ represents the optimum combination of the 4th generation auto-positioning technology with ergonomic design, resulting in a digital radiographic system that creates an efficient workflow and maximizes patient throughput. Featuring advanced applications like auto-stitching and auto detector tracking of both table and vertical stand, Aceso+ is suitable for the most diverse imaging needs.

“We are very pleased to extend our collaboration with Canon Medical Systems. Canon’s choice to include Arcoma systems in their portfolio is really encouraging. It is an acknowledgement of our technology and very reliable products. With this agreement Arcoma gets a significantly improved market presence in central and southern Europe.
