    Thank you for the reply. If I understand what you are saying is that if there are no laws in Guinea about using K-PACS as a medical device for diagnostics then we are ok, as long as we understand that there is no documentation, no support and very likely no future enhancements to the solution - am I correct on this understanding?


    Also, would your company consider a discount for a non-profit if we decided to look at iQ-View? I talked to a re-distributor yesterday and he said a single license is $1400, which is way beyond our budget. Doctors and nurses at the hospital make around $3000 per year.


    Thank you for considering our request.

    Hi, I am working with a non-profit hospital in Guinea West Africa near the city of Mamou. We have recently installed a portable digital x-ray machine which stores the images on an attached processor. Currently the only way to view the images is to view them on the processor, and only 200 images can be stored on the processor.


    We would like to offload the images to a standalone storage device and make them available on the hard wired LAN or to install a wireless LAN. We also would like to allow the Doctors and Nurses to view the images at their work stations vs. only on the processor.


    We are looking for a 'free' or very inexpensive image viewer. I thought I had found it with K-PACS, but when I read the EULA I am thinking we can't use this for our hospital.


    Or, does the EULA only apply to USA hositals?


    Or, can we work out a EULA specifically for the Guinea hospital. The FDA in Africa does not exist.


    I'm hoping we can work with you for a solution.


    Thank you
