The European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) eventually would lead to a ban on lead shielding components in equipment like the company’s new line of computed tomography (CT) scanners.
In addition, the company reduced the health and environmental impact of its equipment by using an RoHS-compliant, eco-conscious and equally effective alternative to lead.
