When CD Recordable discs were introduced, we were one of the first companies to make blank media available in Canada. Our media of choice then (and now) is Mitsui because of the high standards it has set over the years. Although the manufacturer is now called MAM-A (Mitsui Advanced Media - America), the product remains the same in both quality and reliability.

Their patented Phthalocyanine dye resulted in the first high speed recordable discs on the market and MAM-A continues to lead the way in making CD-Rs with long term archival life. In fact, accelerated aging studies project longevity of more than 100 years for the gold media. This is far in excess of any legally mandated archive period.

For this reason, we are now offering a special product designed specifically for medical use. MAM-A Medical Grade CD-Rs are DICOM compatible and every single disc undergoes a 100% inspection before it can be shipped. Random sampling techniques are simply not stringent enough for medical applications.

All the manufacturing and packaging of MAM-A Medical grade media is done under cleanroom conditions and each disc has a lifetime manufacturer's guarantee. Cardiologists have long been searching for a replacement for cine film which would store information in digital format.

Now with MAM-A Medical CD-Rs, there is a worldwide compatibility for archival and exchange media for digital x-ray angiographic, echocardiography, and nuclear cardiac images. For more information and pricing, simply e-mail info@candisc.com or contact the Canada Disc & Tape office nearest you.
