Greater Field of View, more vision
Full View FD for up to 25% more coverage even during image rotation

Full View FD –
Increased anatomical structure coverage for better visualization and guidance

• Large field of view with a 30 cm x 30 cm (12″ x 12″)¹flat detector
• Square FD image providing 25% more coverage than conventional image intensifiers
• Smart collimation system allowing up to 25% more coverage²even during image rotation

 

Outstanding images, optimized dose

Retina Imaging Chain with IDEAL dose reduction for excellent image quality at very low dose. In all clinical applications. For patient of all sizes.

Retina Imaging Chain

• Optimal transformation of the X-rays the detector receives into outstanding images
• IDEAL (Intelligent Dose Efficiency Algorithm) for optimal balance of image quality and dose
• Consists of five elements: Retina FD technology, Retina Calibration, Retina Board, Retina Exam Sets, IDEAL dose reduction

IDEAL dose reduction

• Smart dose management system
• Continuously analyzes each and every one of the detector’s 2.2 million pixels
  (1.5 k x 1.5 k) and constantly optimizes their dose efficiency
• Automatic regulation of brightness and contrast

Additional Retina elements – Optimized low dose performance and low dose imaging at any temperature

• Retina FD technology features the latest generation of flat panel detectors, with higher sensitivity and lower electronic noise level.
• Retina Calibration means every single pixel of the flat detector undergoes a complex temperature calibration, allowing real-time temperature compensation during acquisition and resulting in low dose imaging at all temperatures. Even when the detector is cold right after power on.
• The Retina Board continuously optimizes image quality during acquisition by eliminating all detector related artifacts.
• Retina Exam Sets provide a selection of predefined exposure parameters for a broad range of clinical applications; easily customize it to your OR’s specific needs.

 

More power, more vision
One of the most powerful mobile C-arms, to see and do more.

High power generator – Clear detailed images in all circumstances

• Two power versions – lets you tailor the system to your clinical needs
• 25 kW¹generator version delivers high tube currents of up to
  250 mA¹ for highest possible penetration
• Excellent visualization of anatomical details, e.g. on obese patients
• Increased contrast for a clearer image
• 12 kW generator version – well suited to trauma applications

High power pulsed mode – Better and sharper image quality, lower dose

• High flexibility: adjustable pulse frequency and dose levels
• Lower dose thanks to pulsed mode
• Sharper images due to 30 pulses per second
• Store images for review: FluoroLoop / Last Scene Hold
• Enables surgeons to achieve better penetrations, e.g. with obese patients

Active cooling system – The power to support you throughout long-lasting procedures

• Intelligent power and heat management keeps the C-arm within thermal limits and minimizes image quality degradation
• Active and efficient heat dissipation through water cooling circuit
• Automatic regulation of power output
• Dual focus X-ray tube with rotating anode

Energy Storage Unit – Supports you throughout even demanding procedures

• Cios Alpha’s Energy Storage Unit (ESU)¹buffers energy, tripling the mean power that can be applied for a limited period of time (e.g. for a 20 seconds series acquisition).
• ESU makes the maximum power available for significantly higher penetration capability in series acquisition when it’s needed, for example when operating on obese patients.

 

Exceptional precision, effortless control
Full table-side control and single-touch positioning¹ for effortless operability

Direct table-side control – Consistent, convenient operability for effective workflow

• Touch-sensitive brake controls mounted on the FD housing for quick and convenient C-arm positioning
• Consistent user interface at the monitor cart, the C-arm and even from within the sterile field – one look and feel, wherever you work from
• Remote User Interface (UI)¹provides complete table-side control
• Multifunctional foot switch¹for hands-free direct access to all operating modes

Controlled and precise movement – Rapid adjustment lets you get on with the procedure faster

• Motorization package¹– for motorized motion of orbital and angular movements
• Electromagnetic brakes – for fast and precise C-arm positioning
• Compact FD design – provides extended free space for excellent patient accessibility
• Single-touch positioning¹for storage of two projections – return to a stored projection at the touch of a button

Ergonomic design – Simpler, convenient handling and greater maneuverability

• Ergonomic side rails and highly precise orbital roller bearings provide effortless positioning
• Color-coded axes correspond to brake controls for intuitive operation
• Lightweight monitor cart – easily positioned exactly where it’s needed
• EMotion¹onboard sound system – for a working atmosphere that’s music to your ears

Maximal flexibility in data handling and connectivity –
The flexibility to fit the way you work

• DICOM 3¹compatible – for system integration into clinical networks
• Comprehensive post-processing options
• CD, DVD, USB – versatile data storage and transfer options
• WLAN¹integration – for direct image transfer
• 100,000 image storage capacity
• SmartView¹– HD VideoManager allowing side-by-side display of X-ray images and images from other modalities like endoscopy
