PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Genoray OSCAR Prime is a mobile C-arm X-ray system featuring a flat panel detector that provides high-resolution, distortion-free images for various diagnostic and surgical procedures. It is designed to offer enhanced image quality, lower patient dose, and greater operational flexibility compared to systems using conventional image intensifiers. 

Key Features

The OSCAR Prime is widely noted for its high image resolution and robust design. 

• Detector: It uses a 26x26 cm (or 260x260 mm) CMOS flat panel detector with 2.5 megapixels (2.5K x 2.5K) of resolution for wide field of view and low noise images.
• Generator: The system includes a powerful 5.3 kW high-frequency generator with active air cooling to prevent overheating during long operations.
• C-Arm Movement: It features a wide 180° dynamic orbital rotation and 800mm of free space, offering significant positioning flexibility in the operating room.
• User Interface: A 10.4-inch touch LCD control panel allows for easy operation and live image display. A separate 34-inch wide LED monitor is also included for clear image display.
• Software: The integrated ZENIS software offers total image management, including measurement, annotation, image manipulation, and DICOM 3.0 compatibility. It also has a Low Dose Mode function which automatically manages radiation dose to ensure the safety of patients and staff.
• Clinical Applications: The system is suitable for a wide range of applications, including urology, orthopedics, endoscopy, cholangiography, and vascular procedures (with an optional Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) package). 

User and Expert Opinions

According to a review published on the Genoray website, the OSCAR Prime is less expensive than comparable models from other companies while offering comparable or superior image quality to fixed angiography devices. Reviewers highlight its fast operation, compact design, high image resolution, and advanced features like the large orbital rotation as key advantages. Experts from surgicalcarms.com note that it "out paces its nearest competitor" (Ziehm Vision FD/Solo) in resolution and generator size, positioning it as a fantastic and cost-effective alternative to high-cost refurbished systems.
