Ziehm Vision RFD

Ziehm

The treatment of cardiovascular and degenerative musculoskeletal conditions calls for
high-performance intraoperative imaging technologies.
Incorporating the latest CMOS technology for excellent image quality, the Ziehm Vision RFD is the
ideal product. In addition to the cardiovascular-focused 20.5 cm x 20.5 cm flat-panel version, the Ziehm Vision
RFD is available with a 31 cm x 31 cm CMOS flat-panel detector. This is the preferred model for highly demanding orthopedic, trauma or cardiovascular interventions that require more information in one image.
Both systems are equipped with a powerful generator for optimum penetration, Advanced Active Cooling to
enable longer procedures and an intuitive operating concept for high clinical standards.

Description

01 / Trust in over 10 years of flat-panel performance now enhanced with CMOS imaging excellence

CMOS flat-panel technology

The Ziehm Vision RFD CMOSline² integrates the innovative detector technology for two specialized
detector sizes. With the choice of 20.5 cm and 31 cm flat panels, the mobile C-arm provides comprehensive information with each examination, previously capable only with fixed room systems.
CMOS technology achieves higher spatial resolution due to a smaller pixel size combined with lower
noise levels and a higher read-out speed at full resolution. With CMOS technology true resolution,
especially in magnification modes, makes interpolation unnecessary and improves overall efficiency.
In addition, the Ziehm Vision RFD CMOSline² now comes with newly developed dose saving
technology: Beam Filtration1 supports the latest improvements in Ziehm Imaging’s enhanced
CMOS imaging chain, enabling an exceptional skin entrance dose reduction. Because of these innovations and CMOS technology, the Ziehm Vision RFD CMOSline provides excellent image quality
with a lower dose.

Contrast-rich display

For the excellent display of the crystal-clear X-ray images the Ziehm Vision RFD uses
19″ duo-flat-screens, which are designed for the highest demands in the OR. They stand
for their exceptional brightness and contrast even at a distance. With Wireless Video
you benefit from fewer cables in the OR and the ability to transfer live X-ray images to
external monitors.

The Ziehm Endo Package is a unique configuration designed in cooperation with clinicians
to optimize minimally invasive endoscopy procedures (e.g. ERCP) under fluoroscopic X-ray
control. A 26″ color monitor enables the combined display of the X-ray image and the live
endoscopic image side by side. The surgical team gains more space as a separate endoscopy
monitor becomes unnecessary.

Comprehensive tools to support optimal image quality

SmartVascular offers a specialized workflow to meet the needs of complex vascular
procedures. It easily allows switching between Fluoro, DSA, MSA and road mapping (RSA)
with just one click. It even enables performing an RSA from a single DSA image. In addition,
SmartVascular features a dedicated footswitch configuration for specialized needs.

The Anatomical Marking Tool (AMT) enables the user to apply markings and left / right labels
to live images using the touchscreen. It is also a straightforward tool to mark blood vessels,
branches or implant positions on live images.

Contrast medium imaging with CO2 is an innovative and sound alternative for mobile C-arms.
In addition to conventional iodinated contrast, it displays MSA and road mapping (RSA) without
allergic reactions in patients as well as lowers costs.

02 / Unlock the power to perform with advanced generator and cooling technology

Compact and powerful

This industry-leading high-frequency generator operates with a variable pulse width, which
optimizes the image quality while minimizing dose levels. With up to 25 frames per second,
the C-arm provides you with crystal-clear images, even of fast-moving objects. Due to its outstanding
generator performance and innovative imaging chain, the systems deliver excellent
results – also during exposures with steep angles and lateral projections. The small housing
of the compact yet powerful generator further simplifies its positioning at the OR table.

Advanced Active Cooling

The unique liquid cooling system Advanced Active Cooling (AAC) supports the mobile C-arm
during lengthy, demanding procedures. Even during complex applications such as TAVI, angioplasties
and EVAR, the Ziehm Vision RFD thereby delivers reliable results for the duration of the
entire procedure. In the event of a temperature increase, the pulse frequency is automatically
reduced until the generator’s temperature has cooled down.

03 / Deliver advanced surgical care with the Ziehm Usability Concept

Best-in-class ergonomics

With a footprint of 0.8 m², the Ziehm Vision RFD is one of the most compact mobile C-arms
on the market. With its easy-drive system it can be maneuvered with minimal effort during
long procedures. The big C-arm opening and 165 degrees of orbital movement ideally support
the workflow and provide easier patient coverage. In addition, different-colored scales and
handles allow the surgeon and staff to quickly and simply select the desired function.

Intuitive user interface

The Vision Center is a rotating and tilting touchscreen control panel mounted on the mobile
stand as well as on the monitor cart and, optionally, directly at the OR table or on a separate
trolley. Up to three synchronized user interfaces offer the entire range of functions on both
units. The wizard-guided workflow, coupled with clear and easy-to-follow icons, supports
an intuitive operation of the imaging system. With SmartArchive, it has never been more
convenient and faster to access the current patient folder at any time.

Ziehm Usability Concept

Heavy case loads and a large number of different users call for OR equipment with a
highly standardized and ergonomic design. Ziehm Imaging supports this need with the
unique Ziehm Usability Concept3. Seamlessly integrated workflows offer unmatched
levels of usability – anytime, anyplace.

As the innovation and technology leader, Ziehm Imaging has developed the sophisticated,
yet intuitive Ziehm Usability Concept that combines a unique and finely
tuned set of hardware features with seamlessly integrated software functionalities.
In a challenging clinical environment, the entire concept is geared toward increasing
ease of use in daily tasks. It improves process efficiency and ensures standardized
quality levels in the OR for optimized patient outcomes.

04 / Reduce exposure significantly with the next-generation SmartDose concept

Best image quality. Minimized dose.

The comprehensive concept consists of a broad, clinically proven application portfolio to
address daily challenges of low dose and high image quality. With significant dose savings,
Ziehm Imaging sets the benchmark in user-friendly adjustment of dose exposure. Our
latest improvements in SmartDose4 help to display even the smallest details of complex
anatomical areas and reduce dose with intelligent pulse regulation and optimized
anatomical programs. Furthermore, dedicated SmartDose functions significantly reduce
exposure in pediatric surgery.

Groundbreaking optimization of the X-ray spectrum

Our feature-rich SmartDose concept now comes in an enhanced version with the groundbreaking
Beam Filtration1. The new filtration technique for an optimized X-ray spectrum
supports our enhanced CMOS imaging chain. This combination enables an exceptional
reduction in the skin entrance dose for all CMOSline systems. In a nutshell, the premium
line of Ziehm Imaging C-arms provides excellent image quality with a lower dose.
