Read the full statement (260 words)
The Optima XR240amx is intended to take exposures utilizing film, computed radiography (CR), or wireless detectors, which are intended to replace radiographic film screen systems in all general purpose diagnostic procedures, for digital radiography (DR).
Optima XR240amx is a self-contained; battery operated mobile radiographic imaging system designed to generate diagnostic radiographic images (medical x-rays) that may increase the ability to detect disease or injury early enough for a medical problem to be managed, treated, or cured. Medical x-rays are used in many types of examinations and procedures, some examples include: x-ray radiography (to find orthopedic damage, tumors, pneumonias, foreign objects).
The Optima XR240amx is indicated for use on adult and pediatric patients for general-purpose diagnostic radiographic examinations and procedures. Its mobility enables general-purpose radiographic procedures throughout the clinical environment, or as needed within the emergency, intensive care, premature birth ward, cardiac and operating departments, for patients that may not be able to be moved or in cases where it is unsafe or impractical to move them to a traditional RAD room.
The system is indicated for taking radiographic exposures of the skull, spinal column, chest, abdomen, extremities, and other body parts with the patient sitting, standing, or lying in the prone or supine position.
This device is not intended for mammographic applications.
The Optima XR240amx incorporates AutoGrid, which is an optional image processing software installed as a part of the systems Helix image processing software. AutoGrid can be used in lieu of an anti-scatter grid to improve image contrast in general radiographic images by reducing the effects of scatter radiation.
