XIRING (Paris:ALXIR), a security solutions provider for electronic transactions, unveils the VITAL'ACT-3S, its new portable SESAM-Vitale solution designed to meet the needs of French healthcare professionals working both in and out of offices.

The generation of electronic medical claim forms is the cornerstone of the SESAM-Vitale system, which made it possible to optimize healthcare costs, as confirmed by the French National Accounting Court's recent report. By streamlining administrative procedures, this has allowed doctors and medical aids (freelance nurses, kinesitherapists, etc.) to save precious time that can be better-spent treating patients.

Thanks to tens years' experience in the healthcare sector with successful products such as the VITAL'ACT and the PRIUM-3S, XIRING is now launching the VITAL'ACT-3S, the first portable 3-slot solution. This smart-card terminal allows for the simultaneous, simple and ergonomic management of the Vitale card, the Healthcare Professional Card and future related cards such as mutual health insurance company cards when invoices are prepared and signed.

With approximately 60,000 healthcare professionals already equipped with the VITAL'ACT, the first generation of portable terminals, this new product offers a 3-slot solution with improved performances and innovative ergonomics.

The VITAL'ACT-3S was designed with and for healthcare professionals, i.e., both prescribing physicians (generalists, specialists, etc.) and medical aids (freelance nurses, kinesitherapists, etc.):

  • It has the shape of a portable smart-card terminal equipped with 3 independent card slots.
  • It embeds a brand new software application with improved ergonomics and new innovative functionalities.
  • Its mobility, lightness and speed meet the specific needs of medical aids and doctors making house calls.
  • Very stable when placed on its base station, the VITAL'ACT-3S fits in perfectly at the office and cards can still be inserted and removed with only one hand.
  • Compatible with the mutual health insurance cards coming out, the VITAL'ACT-3S is also designed to work with the next versions announced by GIE SESAM-Vitale. The VITAL'ACT-3S has been approved by GIE SESAM-Vitale (www.sesam-vitale.fr).

Franck Favier, head of XIRING's healthcare activity, comments: ?Always aware of healthcare professionals' needs, XIRING is responding to current and future needs with the Vital'Act-3S, a top-performance product with totally innovative ergonomics, both physically and with respect to software, and the 3-slot capability necessary for use with the new cards to be released by the mutual health insurance companies. This new offer completes our wide range of existing SESAM-Vitale solutions.?
