Launch of the FLUOROspeed X1 Edition ST

Shimadzu Medical Systems USA, a proud subsidiary of Shimadzu Corporation, has officially announced the release of the new FLUOROspeed X1 edition ST, a cutting-edge conventional RF table system designed specifically for healthcare facilities in the United States. This addition to the FLUOROspeed series represents a significant leap forward in patient care, ergonomics, and operational efficiency.

The FLUOROspeed X1 ST caters to a broad spectrum of fluoroscopic and radiographic exams, accommodating a maximum static patient weight of 665 pounds, and a motion weight capacity of 500 pounds. This makes it highly capable of performing both bariatric and regular procedures with ease. The innovation primarily aims to strike an ideal balance between affordability and advanced functionality, thereby supporting a wide array of general RF applications that include chest, abdomen, extremities, Upper GI studies, modified swallows, and even joint injections.

One of the highlighted features of the X1 is its user-friendly design, developed based on extensive feedback from clinicians. The device comes with an ambidextrous control handle for the imaging deck, allowing for seamless operation. Additionally, fingertip access to Automatic Processing Records (APR), image recording features, and customizable function buttons enhance the workflow within examination rooms.

User-Friendly Design and Innovative Features

The new RF system also includes advanced features designed not only for clinical efficiency but also for improving patient safety. Notable innovations include:

• - Cross-hair Line Marker: A radiation-free patient positioning aid for enhanced accuracy during examinations.
• - LED Lighting: Located beneath the deck, providing safe and efficient illumination for puncture procedures.
• - Transparent Lead Apron: This new design features a clear viewing window that allows operators to maintain visibility of the procedure field without compromising safety.
• - RDSR Standard: Included across all systems to streamline reporting and improve overall operations.

Furthermore, the FLUOROspeed X1 edition boasts a 17" x 17" dynamic digital X-ray detector integrated into the table bucky. This dual functionality allows the system to excel in both fluoroscopy and standard radiographic assessments, making it incredibly versatile.

With its 31.5-inch aperture opening between the tabletop and deck, the system is an ideal solution for imaging patients in wheelchairs, demonstrating Shimadzu's commitment to inclusivity. Additionally, its compact design allows it to fit comfortably within smaller examination rooms, optimizing space without sacrificing functionality.

Expansion of Capabilities

To further increase versatility, the FLUOROspeed X1 can be enhanced with a second X-ray tube positioned on an overhead rail, dramatically expanding the functionality of imaging procedures available in a single room.

Since its foundation in 1875, Shimadzu Corporation has committed itself to delivering reliable, durable medical equipment, serving as an integral part of X-ray departments nationwide. With a headquarters located in Long Beach, California, and multiple service and sales offices across the United States, the company aims to continuously enhance patient outcomes and operational efficiency in healthcare facilities.
