Symbol is a radiological mobile unit that responds

in an excellent way to operator multiple opera-
tional needs thanks to its innovative design and
advanced technology.

Versatile and ergonomic, Symbol is made with a 9”

(23 cm) high performance Image Intensifier

C-arm is perfectly counterbalanced, designed with

wide free space, depth and impressive “over-scan”
for an excellent handling and efficiency in reaching
the various projections needed for proper imaging.

The arm is made of anodized aluminum, to have a

lighter, steady handling in displacement
Along with maximum hygiene thus avoiding oxida-
tion risks.

The wheels are blocked by a proper pedal posi-

tioned on both sides with push cable deflectors.

The compact double LED monitor medical grade

workstation trolley is designed to facilitate the
equipment use and displacement even in small
places.

The workstation connection cable is equipped with 3

a double connector for timing and cost saving. In
fact, the cable replacement can easily be carried out
by the operator.
.
 INTENDED USE

The device is used for radiological guidance and visualization during diagnostic, interventional (optional),
and surgical procedures on all patients except neonates (birth to one month), within the limits of the de-
vice.
The device is to be used in healthcare facilities both inside and outside the operating room, in sterile as well
as non-sterile environments, in a variety of procedures.
The mobile fluoroscopy device is designed to provide fluoroscopic and digital spot images of adult and pe-
diatric populations during diagnostic, interventional, and surgical procedures.
Clinical application may include orthopedic, gastrointestinal, endoscopic, urologic, neurologic, vascular, car-
diac, critical care, and emergency procedures.
The various configurations available enable to meet all special requirements for diagnostic procedures.

The installation and use of the device is intended exclusively in conformity with the
safety procedures and operation instructions listed in the manuals and the applications for which
it has been designed (i.e. as radiological support to clinical and diagnostic procedures).
