Arcadis Varic: Reliable and High-Performance Imaging
The Siemens Arcadis Varic is a mobile surgical C-arm designed to provide high-quality imaging and intuitive use in the operating room. Its 1K² digital imaging system ensures precise images for a wide range of applications, including orthopedics, traumatology, and vascular surgery. With its complete digital processing, it offers optimal image acquisition, visualization, and storage, facilitating patient care.
One of the standout features of the Arcadis Varic is its EASY (Enhanced Acquisition System), which automatically adjusts dose, contrast, and brightness. This functionality ensures consistent image quality, even for objects at the periphery of the field of view, while optimizing radiation protection for patients and medical staff. The system's high-performance X-ray tube, with currents up to 23 mA, provides high-quality fluoroscopy and over 50 minutes of use in low-dose mode.
Ergonomics have been designed to meet the demands of hospital and surgical environments. The counterbalanced C-arm allows for precise and smooth positioning, providing excellent patient accessibility. It features a free space of 78 cm and an immersion depth of 73 cm, making it easier to use during complex interventions. The Arcadis Varic also benefits from an intuitive, color-coded braking system that simplifies handling while ensuring optimal stability.
The Arcadis Varic's cart is designed for maximum maneuverability with its compact size and light weight. The 19-inch TFT monitors offer excellent visibility with a wide viewing angle of 170°, ensuring optimal image reading from all angles. They can be height-adjusted and rotated 180° to adapt to various working configurations.
In terms of connectivity, the Arcadis Varic is DICOM 3.0 compliant, enabling the storage, retrieval, and transmission of images within the hospital network. Data can be saved on CD, DVD, and USB in DICOM or Bitmap format, with integrated software for viewing on any computer. Its syngo® interface simplifies image management, navigation, and archiving, optimizing the work time of medical teams.
The device is also equipped with a NaviLink 2D navigation system, which facilitates real-time guidance through automatic transfer of 1024 x 1024-pixel images. This module is particularly useful in minimally invasive surgery, where imaging precision is crucial.
The robust design and modularity of the Arcadis Varic make it a reliable long-term investment. Its syngo software platform, combined with remote monitoring via Siemens Remote Services, ensures proactive maintenance and minimizes downtime. This C-arm is designed to integrate seamlessly into modern operating rooms, offering an optimal balance of performance, ergonomics, and safety.
