Product Overview
The Orthoscan TAU 1515 is a compact, mobile, mini C-arm imaging system. The machine offers an orbital rotation of 160 degrees, allowing for a comprehensive exam in a single pass. A large detector ensures that your team members can get the views they need quickly, so they can focus on their patients.
Its larger detector and high-quality live imaging provide the versatility required to visualize anatomy with precision. Features like pulsed fluoroscopy and other dose-saving technologies ensure exceptional image clarity while keeping radiation exposure low.
Key features of this machine include the following:
- A lightweight design means this machine is easy to both position and store.
- Surgical LED lights provide extra positioning help, reducing the need for repeat scans.
- Included technology optimizes the radiation dose, leading to dose reduction decreases of up to 79%.
- A flat panel detector improves image brightness and quality without subjecting patients to high radiation doses.
- Optimized radiation dosing means this machine can be used for pediatric patients.
Core Features of the Orthoscan TAU 1515
The Orthoscan TAU 1515 is designed for use in orthopedic clinics, surgical centers, and hospitals that serve both adult and pediatric patients. The machine’s compact design and embedded technology lead to improved workflows and precise imaging.
Important features of the TAU 1515 include the following:
- Large live image display
- Snapshot and last image hold
- Low dose efficiency
- Adjustable arm positioning
The TAU 1515 includes a 27-inch monitor with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. The live image size is 12 inches by 12 inches. Your team can view even the smallest anatomical features in great detail with this bright and crisp screen.
The TAU 1515 allows operators to capture still images during live fluoroscopy. This capability enables your team to document key moments without interrupting the procedure.
Last image hold capabilities allow the operator to hold the previous image still on the screen for close review. The patient has no additional radiation exposure during this exam.
TAU machines come equipped with Orthoscan’s Intelligent Dose Reduction technology. An optimized dose filter reduces exposure without sacrificing image quality, and pulse fluoroscopy options can further reduce the risk.
Due to this innovative design, the TAU 1515 is one of the only mobile C-arm machines that can be used in pediatric patients.
The TAU 1515 is remarkably flexible, with an orbital rotation of 160 degrees and an arc depth of 20 inches. Your staff can quickly slide the machine into position for optimal views without requiring the patient to be moved into awkward positions.
Backlit controls located on the arm allow your team to make small adjustments without leaving the sterile environment.
Technology
The TAU 1515 is a compact and lightweight machine that includes plenty of technological power. These are core features you should know about:
A 27-inch diagnostic monitor comes standard with the TAU 1515. Orthoscan’s proprietary touchscreen interface makes it easy for operators to choose exam parameters and operate the machine perfectly.
A 12-inch by 12-inch live image area means your team can visualize very small anatomical regions in great detail.
Pulsed fluoroscopy ensures your patients aren’t exposed to excessive radiation while your medical teams get the information they need. Choose from 30, 15, and 7.5 pulses per second, depending on the anatomical region being examined.
The TAU 1515 also includes an Optimized Dose Filter. Engaging that option can further reduce radiation doses. This machine can reduce radiation doses by up to 79% when compared to similar tools.
The TAU 1515 has one of the largest detectors in the mini C-arm class. The detector is 15 cm by 15 cm, ensuring your team can get the images they need in one pass without repositioning and lost time.
This large detector can also reduce patient and staff radiation doses, as only one image is required for anatomical areas like hands and feet.
Orthoscan has developed significant and powerful image processing technology. Your team can use these tools to enhance the visibility of images immediately. The images that appear on the screen are as bright and sharp as they can possibly be.
The TAU 1515 is DICOM 3.0 compliant, allowing it to integrate quickly and effectively with your existing systems and workflows. The machine also comes with a printer in case your team likes to share images in hard-copy format.
A wireless footswitch enables operators to control the machine’s core functions, including capturing imaging and adjusting settings, without needing to touch the console. You can reduce contamination risks as a result.
Customizable controls also allow your team to tailor the interface for specific types of exams. Your team members can save time with these features.
