Villa Sistemi Medicali Completes Installation Of Two Apollo DRF Systems In Rome, Italy
ROME--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Villa Sistemi Medicali "Villa", a subsidiary company of Del Global Technologies (OTCBB: DGTC) of Franklin Park, IL, today announced the successful installations of the Company's new Apollo DRF systems at two hospitals in Rome, Italy.
One system now resides at Policlinico Umberto I, the largest hospital in the city and part of La Sapienza University. The second system is located at Fatebenefratelli Isola Tiberina hospital, a religious institution that provides health services.
Fabio Curti, Marketing Manager at Villa, said, "As early adopters of the dynamic flat panel technology, Villa believes the Apollo DRF will be a breakthrough in RF applications. By combining fluoroscopy and general rad applications in one room, Apollo DRF can bring substantial benefits by increasing the throughput of the hospital's imaging departments." According to Mr. Curti, these are the first Apollo DRF systems to be installed in Rome; and Villa has enjoyed good market penetration there historically. The recent installations were purchased as a result of Apollo winning a tender based on the price and performance of the DRF equipment over the competition.
Both installations have been carried out in cooperation with Villa's local partner, Trade Art 2000.
