Philips’ Zenition 30 Mobile C-Arm Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance

April 22, 2024—Royal Philips announced its Zenition 30 mobile C-arm has received FDA 510(k) clearance for image-guided surgical procedures.

Zenition 30 features Philips’ latest-generation flat detector technology, advanced imaging algorithms, and personalized user profiles. The system’s image quality is coupled with dose efficiency. It also provides automatic workflow customization that adjusts to an individual surgeon’s preferred settings and way of working from the moment they log on.

According to the company, the Zenition 30 provides flexibility, control, and personalization of C-arm movement and user settings. Additionally, it reduces the number of support staff required during procedures. The intuitive C-arm control from alongside the patient table enhances workflow efficiency.

Other features include the Philips BodySmart software to enhance a surgeon’s ability to capture consistent images without the need for manual adjustments when the target anatomy is off-center; the Philips MetalSmart software that automatically adjusts image contrast and brightness to improve image quality and eliminate blooming while maintaining low x-ray dose, especially for patients with metal implants; a dedicated pediatric mode that automatically reduces dose rates for young patients; and digital subtraction angiography capability, allowing clear imaging of vasculatures, stated the company.
