GE rolls out new service option for MI systems

GE Healthcare introduced InSite OnWatch at the SNM 2010 annual meeting in Salt Lake City in early June. InSite OnWatch, available with GE’s AssurePoint Rapid and AssurePoint Performance service offerings in the U.S. and Canada, remotely resolves small performance issues and forecasts maintenance on certain larger issues, according to the company.

InSite OnWatch is now available on GE’s Discovery NM 530c, the Discovery NM/CT 570c and the Discovery PET/CT 600 series systems with the new Discovery Dimension console.
