AFC unveils new ergonomic workstation at AHRA

Addressing the need of radiologists and ergonomic PACS reading room environments, AFC Industries Inc. unveiled at the AHRA meeting this week in Boston ErgoTier, its new customizable workstation for radiology reading.

A next-generation single tier cart, AFC said ErgoTier combines a height-adjustable single tier workstation with a new, flexible flat-panel monitor platform. At the touch of a button, the height of the work surface and displays can adjust and the monitor's forward, backward and tilt positions also can be modified.

In addition, AFC said the cart comes with a range of accessories, including cable management, adjustable phone and dictation equipment, CPU/PS platform and a sturdy footrest.
