QStar SntryPACS Receives FDA Clearance


QStar Technologies, Inc. announced that it has received 510(k) clearance for its SntryPACS Medical Imaging Archive Appliance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This regulatory determination by the FDA gives QStar clearance to market SntryPACS in the U.S. This picture archive and communication system is intended to be used with various radiology modalities for the storage, query and retrieval of medical imaging studies.

SntryPACS is a fully-integrated PACS solution and optimized for DICOM Storage and Routing. With significant experience in Network Attached Storage (NAS) technology, QStar relies on an appliance-based foundation and industry-standard DICOM architecture to bring to market the new SntryPACS-storage and database appliance that is purpose-built to move, route and store DICOM images over a network.

The SntryPACS product line enables imaging centers and clinics to efficiently meet the patient record retention requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) by using automated, rule-based, secure routing of DICOM industry-standard images, and advanced replication features. While the SntryPACS product line has many of the features found in high-performance PACS servers, the appliance-based architecture allows for a seamless installation, in minutes as opposed to days or weeks, and interoperability with other DICOM-compliant systems, modalities and viewing software using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). The simplicity of deployment and maintenance offers imaging centers and clinics the benefit of avoiding costly system administration resources. The SntryPACS features the latest Web-based system administration GUI, self diagnostic and reporting capabilities with e-mail alert, and built-in serviceability and redundancy with hot-swap RAID-based disk drives and connectivity to a vast selection of secondary storage devices such as tape and optical. Embedded PACS capability also replaces complex servers and software, eliminating the need for specialized system administration skills and training.

The SntryPACS product line is sold through Data Distributing Inc. domestically and through a network of international QStar medical resellers in EMEA. For more information contact QStar directly at 800-568-2578 visit us on the web at www.qstar.com. QStar will be showing the SntryPACS product line at RSNA in Chicago from November 30th to December 5th in the North Building - Hall B: 7031.
