VALUE AND BENEFITS OF THE VELA MAMMOGRAPHY CHAIR
Safe seated mammography using the clinically designed VELA appliance, an FDA Approved Class One Medical Device, is trending in the U.S. for its many benefits, including, but not limited to:
The chair can be electrically raised or lowered by the technologist with a handheld remote to effectively position the patient on a stable platform that can result in clearer imaging
The Mammography Quality Standards Act, which becomes effective September 10, requires clear imaging as a critical component of ongoing accreditation
The four, four-inch rubber wheels can be locked to secure the patient in place, eliminating the need for the radiologist to hold the patient during the exam and improving image quality by reducing the risk of patient movement
Thus, the device can be an element in improved employee retention in a profession already experiencing staff decline by lessening wrist, elbow, shoulder and back injuries to the mammographer
Reduced risk of injury from faints or falls from the standing procedure, which also can injure the technologist and result in costly litigation and reputational harm
The chair can be leaned forward for positioning at the machine if needed, and declines 22 degrees for biopsies
Safer, speedier and more convenient patient movement from the waiting room to the exam room and to discharge, assisting in increasing workflow. improved top line and device ROI (again with less risk of falling)
The appliance is essential for women who are elderly, disabled, obese, use a cane or walker, or are in recovery from stroke or another medical procedure
The compound fabric material and appliance construction and engineering meet the healthcare sector cleaning and sanitary requirements
