Greater control
In addition to rapid set-up and protocol selection, the Zenition 30 also offers surgeons much greater control over C-arm positioning during surgical procedures, with easily reachable pushbuttons on the flat detector allowing them to unlock and adjust the arm’s horizontal, orbital, and rotational positioning from within the sterile field. An electromagnetic braking system is provided on either side of C-arm stand that eliminates the manual effort required for technicians to release and apply conventional mechanical brakes.
In independent usability studies involving clinicians around the world who were offered hands-on experience of the Zenition 30 in simulated environments, 95% said they believed its enhanced surgeon control would allow them to work independently [1], while 84% believed that Zenition 30’s personalized image quality profiles meant fewer images might be needed during a procedure because the first image already incorporates their preferred settings [2].
The Zenition mobile C-arm platform brings together innovations in image capture, image processing, ease-of-use, and versatility pioneered on Philips’ highly successful Windows® based Zenition platform.
