Shimadzu Medical Systems USA, a subsidiary of Shimadzu Corporation, is proud to introduce the FLUOROspeed X1 edition ST, patient side conventional RF table system.
As the newest U.S. based product in the FLUOROspeed series, the FLUOROspeed X1 ST edition with its 665 lb. static patient weight capacity (500 lb. all motion weight capacity), easily performs both bariatric and routine daily fluoroscopic and radiographic exams. The X1 is an outstanding RF system offering a cost-effective balance of functionality to support a wide range of general RF applications, such as chest, abdomen, or extremities along with Upper GI’s, modified swallows and even joint injections. An ambidextrous control handle for the imaging deck along with fingertip access to APR’s, image recording functions and site-specific programmable function buttons, are all standard on the new X1 RF system, all improving room workflow.
The X1 was engineered from years of direct user feedback gathered specifically for the U.S. market, resulting in a remarkably user‑friendly and highly effective RF system featuring innovations such as a park‑anywhere imaging deck. Built with Shimadzu’s renowned durability and reliability, the X1 is a system that truly belongs in every X‑ray department nationwide.
The ST introduces several enhancements in the standard configuration, including:
- Cross-hair line marker under the deck for radiation-free patient positioning
- LED lighting under the deck, supporting safe and efficient puncture procedures
- New lead apron featuring a transparent viewing window for a clear view of the procedure field
- RDSR Std. on all systems
The FLUOROspeed X1 edition conventional RF system, designed with patient side table controls for the operator, is practically priced and comes equipped with a 17″x17″ dynamic digital X-ray detector (FPD) in the table bucky allowing it to both be used for fluoroscopy as well as radiographic exams. With its 31.5-inch aperture opening between tabletop and deck, the X1 is the ideal digital RF system providing access for imaging patients in wheelchairs, yet it can fit in smaller rooms where space is limited. Furthermore, by adding a second X-ray tube on an overhead rail, the system functionality and versatility of the room increases exponentially.
