Ziehm Vision² FD Vario 3D

More Information on the Ziehm Vision² FD Vario 3D

3D imaging with flat-panel technology.

Larger Opening

Measuring 35.2" (89.5cm), the larger C-arm opening allows patients to be more easily positioned and accessed.

Distortion-free imaging

The world’s first 3D C-arm with flat-panel technology enables fully digital, distortion-free imaging and increases precision and safety levels. In addition, insensitivity to magnetic fields gives the operator added flexibility.

Extended dynamic range

Due to its high-dynamic range, the flat-panel detector enables optimal concurrent soft tissue and skeletal imaging with more than 16,000 shades of gray.

Larger Field of view

Thanks to the panel’s larger surface area and square shape, the resulting 2D images are larger than those generated by conventional image intensifiers.

High levels of accuracy to guide the surgeon

Open for all navigation systems

In combination with navigation systems and computer-aided surgery (CAS), Ziehm Imaging 3D C-arms enable high levels of precision in complex, minimally invasive and open surgery.

The Ziehm NaviPort interface links Ziehm Imaging’s 3D C-arms for intraoperative imaging with leading navigation systems. Not only does this provide maximum flexibility in choosing navigation systems, it also makes it possible to connect up to 3 different navigation systems from different manufacturers to the same C-arm.

Ziehm Vision² FD Vario 3D delivers distortion-free, highly dynamic image data, which can be automatically transmitted from the C-arm to the navigation system. Surgeons can then immediately use these 3D datasets to support image-guided surgery without the need for additional manual registration steps. Intraoperative assessments enable them to quickly and reliably check progress at all times and document results.

Our C-arms support clinical workflows and set standards for intuitive guidance.

Best-in-class ergonomics

With a footprint of 8.6sqft (0.8m²), Ziehm Vision² FD Vario 3D is one of the smallest 3D C-arms on the market. Its compact design and easy-drive system means it can be maneuvered with minimal effort during procedures. The steer and brake functions are activated via a single lever. All C-arm movements are fully counterbalanced in every position, making the unit extremely convenient to use. Optionally, color-coded levers allow surgeons and staff to quickly and easily select the functions they need.

Intuitive workflow

The touchscreen user interface offers an intelligent workflow that makes operating the C-arm easy and intuitive. Users benefit from synchronized touchscreens on the monitor cart and the C-arm, as well as clear and easy-to-follow icons. The intuitive 3D workflow guides the user through all steps of the preparation and scanning process. Operators simply select the desired option from a list of anatomical programs, and the system automatically adjusts settings to the region of interest, always ensuring the best image quality and lowest dose.

Fit for the future

The graphical user interface and an open, modular software architecture ensure maximum flexibility. Ziehm Vision² FD Vario 3D can be upgraded and expanded as needs change.

Prolonged use,/p>

C-arms need to be in continuous use during lengthy, demanding procedures such as multi-level interventions during spinal surgery. Ziehm Vision² FD Vario 3D’s Advanced Active Cooling system keeps the generator at an ideal operating temperature. In the event of a temperature increase, the pulse frequency is automatically reduced until the generator’s temperature drops. This enables continual use even during long and difficult procedures.

Seamless integration

The open Ziehm NetPort interface enables easy integration into existing IT networks. Patient data saved in DICOM 3.0 format is transferred to the PACS or HIS/RIS. Data can be retrieved from the monitor cart at any time and can be backed up to DVD or USB and printed on transparencies or paper.
