Competitor Comparison to Dexis, Schick, Carestream, and Gendex (the “Big 4” Sensors)

Jump to comparison table

The numbers speak for themselves—compared to any major digital sensor on the market, our QuickRay USB Sensors cost you less than half as much.

Initial Purchase Cost… is about $5,000 for QuickRay (a Size 2 sensor in our most popular package), but a remarkable $9,000 to $11,000 for Dexis, Schick, Carestream, or Gendex sensors. Yes, you can buy TWO QuickRays for the price of ONE competitor sensor—or take that savings and enjoy a nice vacation.
Long-Term Ownership Cost… is another $3,500 for QuickRay, but an additional $7,000 to $9,000 for a competitor sensor (assuming one replacement over a five-year period, for accidental damage). And if you don’t have to replace that sensor, QuickRay has an ever GREATER cost advantage because we don’t charge those aggravating annual warranty or service fees for protection.
No-Fault Replacement… is available ONLY with the QuickRay Sensor. Stick it in the autoclave, drop it in the sink, clamp it between the jaws of life (ouch!), or run it over with your car (though not sure how you’d do that!)—it doesn’t matter how you or your staff abuses the QuickRay, you’re guaranteed a brand new replacement sensor at just 60% of what you originally paid for it.
