Why is the OEC 9800 the Most Popular Mobile C-Arm in the World?
You can’t go wrong with classic style! In the diagnostic imaging world, that means choosing the OEC 9800 C-Arm. Introduced in 1999, the OEC 9800 C-Arm quickly gained a reputation for its superior image quality, which gives techs the ability to focus on capturing the tiny details that make accurate diagnosis and treatment easier.
Over the years, the 9800 proved to be very durable and reliable. These mobile units were designed to be used in busy hospitals, surgery centers, outpatient clinics, and other health care settings. They withstand the wear and tear that comes with wheeling, positioning, propping, and cleaning inherent in regular clinical use. Additionally, the OEC 9800 is built to last with a rotating anode, patented battery buffer technology, and superior locks, levers, and controls. Additionally, the low dose feature ensures the right image at the right dose.
3 Ways the OEC 9800 Makes Addressing Common Imaging Challenges Easier
The OEC 9800 has three features physicians, radiologists, and techs have grown to appreciate and rely upon when they encounter common imaging challenges. The Smart Metal feature intuitively adjusts brightness and contrast to compensate when metal is introduced into the X-ray field. Smart Window automatically optimizes the image for maximum precision and clarity. During live fluoro, the Auto Trak feature stabilizes the image while reducing darkness and burnout.
The OEC 9800 – Budget Friendly, Widely Known, Proven Durability, High Performance
One of the reasons the OEC 9800 is so appealing to hospitals, outpatient clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and other healthcare facilities is because it’s priced very competitively. This is particularly true when you choose refurbished diagnostic imaging equipment. Bluestone Diagnostics is regularly acquiring the best units available in the market. All c-arms are fully refurbished to original manufacturer’s specifications, calibrated and tested, and arrive on site ready to image upon set-up. The cost savings can be up to 40% – often $15K-$20K or more – while your physicians, clinicians, and techs have a proven, familiar mobile c-arm that reliably delivers superior image quality.
