Symbol is a mobile system that responds in an
excellent way to the multiple operational needs
of the operator thanks to its innovative design
and advanced technology.

Versatile and ergonomic, Symbol is made with the

innovative FLAT PANEL detector, available in differ-
ent sizes: Large (23x23 cm) and Extra-large (30x30
cm).

C‐arm is perfectly counterbalanced, designed with

E 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 aluminium, 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

a double connector for timing and cost saving. In 3
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 device.

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.

A The mobile fluoroscopy device is designed to provide fluoroscopic and digital spot images of adult and pedi-
atric populations during diagnostic, interventional, and surgical procedures. Clinical application may include
orthopedic, gastrointestinal, endoscopic, urologic, neurologic, vascular, cardiac, 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 radi-
ological support to clinical and diagnostic procedures).
