Z-Care: 24/7 service for clinical users

Today, mobile C-arms build the center-piece of many ORs throughout America, and it is crucial to keep hard- and software up-to-date and eventual down-time to a minimum. The Z-Care program has been launched to ensure quick and easy access to technical and clinical application support whenever required.

A 24h toll-free hotline and a team of 72 highly qualified service engineers ensure immediate remote assistance and the shipment of requested parts on the same day. 98% of the parts are delivered within 24h to the customer's site. Tailored service packages covering the entire lifespan of the C-arms - ranging from preventive maintenance and after warranty parts coverage to service training for in-house engineers - ensure that every clinical user receives the individual support they need to offer patients reliable and highly qualitative care.
