Siemens' Cios Alpha C-arm
Siemens Healthcare announced on Wednesday that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared its new mobile C-arm, the Cios Alpha.
The C-arm is a flat-panel detector that also combines a power output of 25 kilowatts and has a field of view that the company said is up to 25 percent larger than conventional C-arms.
Other features include workflow improvements such as a user-friendly touch screen interface, a unique position storage feature, and an active cooling system that helps to ensure exceptional image quality during prolonged interventions.
