Siemens Healthineers introduces new fluoroscopy system
Siemens Healthineers showed their new fluoroscopy system, the Luminos Lotus Max, at the annual French JFR 2020 in early October. The system offers advanced technology in radiography and fluoroscopy.
The remote-controlled Luminos Lotus Max system offers versatility in clinical examinations by combining radiographic and fluoroscopic imaging with orthopedic studies such as long leg or spinal examinations and basic interventions. Users can quickly switch between the different imaging modalities because they are integrated.
Commenting on the new fluoroscopy system, Carsten Bertram, Head of Business Line X-ray Products, said: “Combining these state-of-the-art technologies poses one major challenge: ensuring efficient workflows and high system utilization. With our new device, healthcare professionals now benefit from a new level of integration for ‘uninterrupted flow‘ in radiographic and fluoroscopic exams. It’s all on one system and in one room.”
The Luminos Lotus Max also features automation aimed at ensuring ease of use and patient safety. This automation helps technicians apply the optimal radiation dose for each patient and examination type without compromising clinical results. Accordong to Siemens Healthineers, the device automatically encrypts all images and patient data. Combined with regular software updates to prevent new risks and an elaborate role-based access control, this ensures that the highest cybersecurity standards are met.
