Advanced functionality
Everything you want to do
The BV Pulsera consists of a mobile C-arm stand and a Mobile View Station. It offers a choice of X- ray and imaging functionality, as well as a variety of options and accessories. The functionality of the complete system is described in the following pages and the text that is important for you depends on the system configuration chosen.
Mobile C-arm stand
•Ultra compact foot including pushbar and handles for easy maneuverability and positioning of the stand.
•Compact, counterbalanced C-arm provides all required projections.
•Extended rotation: C-arm rotates a full 135º
•C-arm has a very low lateral position.
•Rear wheel steering concept for easy maneuverability and positioning of the stand
•Dedicated parallel movement with ergonomically designed handgrips for easy positioning alongside operating table.
•Source to Image Distance (SID) is 100 cm.
•Streamlined user interface for easy control during procedures.
•Cable deflectors brush aside any
•System includes footswitch, radiation indicator.
•Remote control
•Laser alignment tool
•Ergonomically designed C-arc handles guarantee easy C-arc positioning.
X-ray generation
•Rotating anode X-ray tube with excellent cooling rate for the most demanding interventional procedures.
•Pulsed Acquisition Mode
•Pulsed Fluoroscopy Mode
•Because of the integrated pre-filter, the compact converter X-ray generator ensures a homogeneous X-ray spectrum with the lowest possible skin radiation.
•BodySmart will find the region of interest, define the optimal measuring field and follow the region of interest, ensuring optimal kV/mA settings and resulting in the best possible image quality.
•Anatomically Programmed Fluoroscopy (APF) sets fluoroscopy parameters automatically, providing consistent image quality for every examination type.
•Automatic High Penetration for optimal image quality in heavy objects even in the steepest projections e.g., lateral hip.
