美國空軍空中機動司令部已經為Agfa公司(Mortsel, Belgium)研制的PACS4.5版（Impax圖象存檔與通信系統）發出了安全許可。

該證書是根據美國防御信息系統局作出的嚴格指南而作出的，符合美國國防部關于信息技術安全性的法規。

Agfa公司全球政府計劃主任Tim Artz說：“Agfa是唯一的獲得這種關鍵命令證書的PACS零售商。我們的系統通過嚴格的安全性測試證明了這套系統滿足了空軍的要求。Impax達到了安全性的頂級水平，達到了國家安全系統的要求，達到了我們對安全性的承諾。這也是對我們產品質量最好的證明。”

Agfa在美國政府PACS市場有著搶眼的表現。Impax系統已經安裝在80多家醫療治療單位以及30家海輪上。Agfa公司的PACS系統在2004年是第一個獲得國防部安全證書和鑒定合格證書的系統。

PACS Gets Security Clearance
 
The U.S. Air Force’s Air Mobility Command (AMC) has certified the security of the Impax picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) version 4.5, developed by Agfa (Mortsel, Belgium).

The certification is based on rigorous guidelines defined by the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency, in accordance with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) regulations for information technology (IT) security.

“Agfa is the only PACS vendor to achieve this major command certificate to operate,” said Tim Artz, global government program director, Agfa. “Our system went through rigorous testing to prove the viability of the system for the Air Force’s needs. That Impax has reached the top level of security, equivalent to the levels at which national security systems have to be certified, is indicative of our commitment to security. This is a testimony to our product quality.”

Agfa has built a strong presence within the U.S. government PACS market. The Impax systems have been installed in more than 80 medical treatment facilities and some 30 ships at sea. Agfa’s PACS systems were the first, in 2004, to achieve DoD security certification and accreditation.
