A new interventional imaging device features a laser-guided navigation system that provides the robot its precise location at all times. The system’s self-powered wheels and floor sensors help the device avoid stepping on any feet and cables, and its predictable motion helps keep the surgical team clear as it is brought to and away from the patient.

GE Healthcare (Chalfont St. Giles, UK) has received the CE Marking for the Discovery IGS 730 interventional imaging system. The IGS 730 is in essence a robotic C-arm with the power of a fixed X-ray, which can be rapidly moved to and from the surgical table as needed.

The system is neither ceiling nor floor-mounted, but has the mobility of a C-arm with the power and image quality of a fixed system. It integrates a cutting-edge advance using a motorized laser-guided (mobile) gantry with wide bore C-arm, which enables interventional cardiologists to perform complicated, minimally invasive procedures in an operating room (OR) environment, as it allows complete access to the patient from either side of the table while preserving sterility.

The motion is predictable and precise, allowing fine control and positioning at any moment during a procedure, while parking locations and back out distances can be tailored to fit the room where it operates.
