US FDA Clearance for Three New Mobile C-Arms

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA; Silver Spring, MD USA) has cleared three new system models of an established family of mobile C-arms.

The C-arm systems are made by a leading flat-panel detector manufacturer who also recently released a new upgraded version of another, premium mobile C-arm system.

The Siemens Healthcare (Erlangen, Germany) Cios Fusion, Cios Select, and Cios Connect mobile C-arms use the same flat panel detectors as the existing Cios Alpha system. The Cios Fusion can use 30 cm x 30 cm, and 20 cm x 20 cm detectors and has most of the software and hardware features of the Cios Alpha, such as a touchscreen remote that can be used to control the C-arm inside the sterile work area. All members of the Cios family of C-arms feature automatic dose-performance adjustment.

The Cios Connect weighs just over 248 kilos, and can display individual images simultaneously in subtracted, and X-ray views to enable physicians to optimize the presentation of contrast and bone. The Cios Select is a new entry-level system with a push button interface for a simplified workflow, and uses the Intelligent Dose Efficiency Algorithm (IDEAL) image processing algorithm for continuous contrast and brightness adjustments.

The systems also feature updated software that provides a large preview image to help operating room staff select image settings, and a single-touch metal correction function that enables the user to compensate for metal image components, and provides improved contrast for the representation of surrounding tissue. The Cios family also features the Alpha Live Graphical Overlay function in all operating modes.

Martin B. Silverman, vice president X-ray Products, Siemens Healthcare, said, “With the addition of these three new mobile C-arms to the Cios family, Siemens Healthcare is proud to build on our tradition of C-arm leadership. Our Cios family offers customers a complete product portfolio that meets their needs, regardless of facility type or budget. These expanded mobile C-arm offerings represent another example of how Siemens innovates to solve the daily real-world challenges facing hospitals and surgical centers.”
