Eschborn, 30th May 2007 – Verbatim, the storage media specialist, is expanding its portfolio to include CD-Rs and DVD-Rs specifically tailored to the requirements of the healthcare sector. This move represents a response to the growing demand from the health care sector for high-quality storage media for archiving important data. The high quality standards of the Verbatim MediDisc make it a reliable partner for clinics and medical practices.
Storage media for secure archiving of patient data play a particularly important role in the healthcare sector. Verbatim is now offering new MediDisc™ Medical Grade CD-Rs and DVD-Rs which meet the specific needs of medical data management and storage. Verbatim's MediDisc™ storage media are also DICOM-compatible (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine standard) and therefore suitable for all HIPAA systems (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).
The Verbatim MediDisc™ is extremely robust and reliable thanks to its innovative surface technology. With the patented Metal Azo technology newly developed by Mitsubishi Chemicals, the media ensure error-free, fail-safe data acquisition and protect the stored data from environmental influences. "Their innovative coating makes Verbatim MediDisc™ CD-Rs and DVD-Rs outstandingly tough and therefore ideal for frequent use over many years. The diligent manufacturing process and continuous monitoring by Verbatim guarantee our products' consistent standard of quality for use in the medical sector," says Torsten Leye, Marketing Manager Optical at Verbatim EUMEA.
The Verbatim MediDisc™ CD-R offers 700 MB storage capacity with 52x write speed. At 4.7 GB, the MediDisc™ DVD-R has space for storing particularly large volumes of data and features up to 8x write speed. It therefore offers the best possible compatibility with DVD burners.
