Mobile Radiography System AMX 4 Plus: A High-Performance Solution for Hospital Imaging
The GE Healthcare AMX 4 Plus is a mobile radiography unit designed to meet the imaging needs of hospitals and clinics. Operating on battery power, it offers excellent autonomy and flexibility, enabling radiographic examinations to be performed directly at the patient's bedside without the need for a power outlet.
Thanks to its independent traction motor and precise control system, the AMX 4 Plus moves effortlessly through the hallways and rooms of healthcare facilities. Its tight turning radius and ergonomic control handle make navigation easy, even in the most confined spaces. Large-diameter front wheels allow it to easily cross thresholds and elevator expansion joints.
The ergonomics of the AMX 4 Plus are designed to optimize technicians' work. Its articulated arm, with a column rotation of up to 270°, eliminates the need to reposition the patient, speeding up the examination process. Its compact manual collimator, equipped with touch controls or a remote control, allows for quick selection of technical parameters.
In terms of performance, the AMX 4 Plus is equipped with a 12.5 kW high-frequency generator, ensuring consistent power and optimal image quality regardless of the battery charge level. Its rotating anode X-ray tube, with a thermal storage capacity of 275,000 HU, provides high durability and better heat dissipation. The integrated self-diagnostic system displays potential issues in real-time, facilitating maintenance and reducing service interruptions.
Autonomy is another key strength of the AMX 4 Plus. Its sealed lead batteries, designed to last approximately five years, allow for several hundred examinations before recharging. A segmented graphic bar continuously informs about the battery status, with an alert when the level becomes critical. The device can still move even at 0% battery, but exposure is deactivated to prevent any malfunction during a procedure.
In terms of safety, the AMX 4 Plus features an automatic brake activated by a front bumper, which immediately stops the device in case of a collision. Its design also includes a locking system for the tubular arm to prevent any unintended movement during transport.
The AMX 4 Plus offers several options, including Mobil-AID™ technology, an automatic exposure control system that adjusts parameters based on the patient and the sensor used. A wireless remote control is also available, allowing the technician to trigger exposures from a distance, thereby reducing their exposure to radiation.
