THREE SYSTEMS IN ONE Fast and accurate C-arm movement
Angio + RF + DR
An innovative design realizes a multidirectional interactive digital C-arm system,
providing the ultimate configuration. The Ultimax-i manages all gastrointestinal
studies, interventional radiology and angiographic procedures without compromise.

Angio Anatomical coverage from head to toe is in excess of 2 meters taking into account the
scanning range of 163 cm. and the diameter of the 43 x 43 cm. detector.
Oblique and lateral C-arm positioning is available from either the AP or PA alignment.
CRA 45º CAU 45º

System Design System Design
Patient comfort and safety are a priority.
Following initial positioning of the patient, the Ultimax-i can assume any orientation
required with anti-collision technology in place to protect the patient at all times.

Transverse table movement in
combination with the wide table and
detector accommodates even the
largest patient.
The table may be placed as low as 52 cm from the floor for ease of access and dismount.
It is ideal for wheelchair patients who may be examined as illustrated.
The position of the foot step at the very end of the table only a few centimeters from
6 the floor is very convenient for the patient. It can be attached to either end of the table. 7
System Design System Design
Complete ergonomic flexibility, optimium patient access
and simplicity of use provide the ideal clinical environment.
Rotational
collimation
Perfect access to the patient from the rear of the table
provides an ideal situation for the clinical team during
complex procedures. Transfer of the patient on and off
the table is easy. Rotational light beam collimation promotes optimum image
quality and dose limitation. An attachable tableside control
provides optimum conditions for DR application.

User Interface User Interface
Integrated Digital Processor Integrated Touch Sensor Screen
The optional mobile in-room operating console is identical to the remote unit
located in the control room. A “one touch” master control enables functions
to be selected from that particular console.
Easy Operation
Exposure conditions set
When using the in-room control the user simply confirms the
operating position relative to the patient table. The co-ordination of
the control and image presentation is automatically adjusted.
