Kodak Launches Accreditation Advantage Program for Users of Mammography System

Eastman Kodak Company is launching a new program to help mammography clinics maintain accreditation as mandated by

the Mammography Quality Standards Act.

The Kodak Min-R Accreditation Advantage Program-the only program of its kind available in the United States-is available free of charge to customers using the complete Kodak Min-R Mammography System.

"The goal of this program is to help clinics optimize their Kodak

mammography systems so that they pass the accreditation review process,." said Margo Robinson, General Manager, Mammography and Oncology and Vice President, Kodak Health Imaging. "We have a similar program in Canada that's been very successful, and we want to bring the Accreditation Advantage to our U.S. customers."

The Min-R Accreditation Advantage Program is available to clinics that use the full Min-R mammography system. If a clinic does not receive

accreditation on first review after following Kodak's recommendations, Kodak will reimburse it for the cost of a second review if certain conditions are met.

"We're confident that an institution that uses the full Kodak Min-R

Mammography System and follows our recommendations will receive

accreditation on the first review," said Carol Rosenzweig, Marketing

Manager, Mammography, for Kodak Health Imaging.

The Min-R Accreditation Advantage will begin in October 2001 for clinics whose accreditation expires in April 2002.
