STI's quality system is now certified by a third-party registrar to satisfy the ISO13485:2003 standard and CMDCAS (Canadian Medical Devices Conformity Assessment System) requirements. The ISO13485:2003 standard is an internationally-accepted quality standard that is specifically applicable to medical device businesses. The fact that STI is certified on its first attempt indicates that its quality system has been well-defined and well-implemented.

This certification allows the company to expand into international markets where local regulations require such certification.

The office will help to better service the company's current customers and to sustain continued sales growth in China.

STI begins distributing its Equine PDR v8.00 imaging software package through one of its OEM partners. The software package runs on a high-performance laptop with the Thales Flashscan 23 radiographic flat panel detector.

The company is partnering with OEMs to develop and market software and hardware imaging products used for animal studies. Its first product will be a mobile equine software package that uses a laptop with the latest flat panel x-ray technologies. The package is scheduled to be released later this year.

STI releases a major new version (v6.00) of the X-Sight digital imaging software. The many enhancements in the new version include programmable frame rate control for cardiac imaging, contrast agent injector control for cardiac studies, and high-speed (30 fps) DSA acquisition.

STI begins distributing a major release (v4.00) of the X-Sight digital imaging software. The enhancements in this latest version include streamlined export procedure, simplified setup of export device & printer, and more DICOM functionalities.

STI triples its engineering office space to support greater product development activities. Company's executives foresee continued growth and diversity of its imaging product lines.

A X-Sight demo software is now available. Designed to run on most high-performance NT-based personal computers, the software is interactive and has the same "look, feel, and function" as the actual X-Sight products. It gives the user a good idea how the X-Sight products operate. The actual performance and functionality of the software, however, depend on the capabilities of the host computer. The software package can be obtained by contacting the factory directly or using the "Info Request" page of the company's website, www.stalliontech.com.

The company completed the renovation of its website at www.stalliontech.com. It features a new format that significantly enhances accessibility to company and product information. It also includes two new sections: SUPPORT and NEWS. The SUPPORT section allows the user to request items of interest and to get answers to commonly asked questions. The NEWS section provides late-breaking information about the company. Please check out our new site when you get the chance.
