WITH EFFICIENCY.
Automated Features for Streamlined Care
Intuitive daily set-up and quick change time between patient scans streamline workflow.
Cordless Mobility
Pedestal configuration is battery powered and Wi-Fi enabled.
Under 20 Seconds
Simple, snap-in patient line auto primes and is ready for the next patient in under 20 seconds.
Under 2 Minutes
Multi-patient set-up process can be completed in under 2 minutes with the pre-assembled Day Set.
WITH CONFIDENCE.
Safety Focused and Efficiency Driven
Flexible contrast options and unique features help you confidently manage your tasks.
Contrast Versatility & Data Capture
Flexibility to use ULTRAVIST® (Iopromide), ISOVUE® (Iopamidol), OPTIRAY® (Ioversol), or OMNIPAQUE™ (Iohexol) contrast in an Imaging Bulk Package (IBP) presentation.* Integrated barcode reader automatically captures and populates important contrast details.
Visual Indicators
Lighted, visual indicators inform workflow steps to reduce uncertainty.
Air Detection and Removal
A multi-layer air detection and removal process is designed to reduce disruptions and repeat scans associated with microbubbles.1
*When loading both contrast agent reservoirs, the contrast agents must have the same active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).
WITH CARE.
Do Less, Care More
Thoughtfully designed to make a greater impact on patients and a smaller impact on the planet.
Complete Range of Injection Controls
Remain at the patient’s side with the touch screen in the scan room.
DualFlow Technology
Inject contrast and saline simultaneously in user-selected ratios, allowing for more uniform attenuation in cardiac studies.2
Fluid Optimization
Multi-dose workflows and Skip to Next Phase technology may reduce per-procedure costs and fluid waste, only using the contrast amount that each patient needs.
Packaging Design
Centargo's Day Set package is an innovative, award-winning sustainable design, achieving an 80% reduction in plastic waste.*,3,4
Remote Support and Maintenance
Our remote support platform offers remote diagnostics and technical support, resulting in higher remote resolution rates for connected systems, minimizing the need for travel time onsite.5
*Reductions stated are in comparison to a prior version of packaging design released in 2020 for global launches. This prior packaging design was not made available in the U.S.
WITH CONNECTIVITY.
