The ControlRad® Select Model Z with the Artis zee is indicated to provide fluoroscopic imaging of the patient during diagnostic, surgical, and interventional procedures while reducing patients and clinicians' radiation exposure (Dose Area Product) outside of the ControlRad Select Model Z 's region of interest (ROI) as compared to Artis zee non-collimated image area. 1 The ControlRad Select Model Z semi-transparent filter should not be used in lieu of the Artis zee's collimators, as they block the most radiation, but can help physicians balance dose reduction with the need to visualize structures outside the ROI when it is considered clinically advantageous to do so. Clinical applications may include cardiac angiography, neuro-angiography, general angiography, rotational angiography, multipurpose angiography and whole body radiographic/fluoroscopic procedures as well as procedures next to the table for i.e. patient extremities. Additional procedures that can be performed include angiography in the operating room, image guided surgery by X-ray, bv image fusion, and by navigation systems. The examination table as an integrated part of the system can be used for Xray imaging, surgery and interventions. 1 Relative to open Field of View (FOV), the ControlRad Select Model Z reduces at least 85% of the Dose Area Product at 65 kVp and ROI with width and length that are smaller than 1/5 the edge size of the full FOV.

The ControlRad® Select Model Z is a set of components mounted on the Artis zee system and cannot be used independent of the Artis zee system. The ControlRad® Select Model Z consists of a ControlRad® filter mounted onto the Siemens Medical Artis zee (K181407) C-arm. The ControlRad® filter is installed semipermanently (i.e., the filter may be removed to return the C-arm to its original condition) to aid in reducing both patient and clinicians' radiation exposure while providing fluoroscopic imaging of the patient during diagnostic, surgical and interventional procedures. The ControlRad® Filter is an optional component installed on the Siemens Artis zee's collimator to further reduce radiation emissions. The ControlRad® Select Model Z is only compatible with the 30 x 40 detector and associated collimator. Use of this system on other sizes is prohibited. The additional radiation reduction provided by the ControlRad® Filter will be outside the clinician-selected ROI and within the un-collimated region/image FOV. The main components of the ControlRad® Select Model Z which are used with the Artis zee are: - ControlRad® Tablet . - ControlRad® Filter . - ControlRad® Hardware ● - ControlRad® Software and Firmware Modules . - . ControlRad® Communication Interface The ControlRad® Select Model Z is a system used to assist trained clinicians which is used to provide X-ray images when the clinician performs a medical procedure while reducing the patients and clinicians' radiation exposure (Dose Area Product) outside of the ControlRad® Select Model Z's region of interest (ROI) as compared to the Artis zee non-collimated image area. The ControlRad® Select Model Z can help physicians balance dose reduction with the need to visualize structures outside the ROI when it is considered clinically advantageous to do so. ControlRad® Select Model Z contains a titanium filter. Two filter sizes are available with nominal thicknesses of 2.5mm or 3.0 mm, both of which are partially transparent to X-ray radiation.

The ControlRad™ Trace Model 9, when used with OEC® 9900 Elite, is indicated to provide fluoroscopic and spot-film imaging of the patient during diagnostic, surgical, and interventional procedures while reducing patients and clinicians' radiation exposure (Dose Area Product) outside of the ControlRad Trace's region of interest (ROI) as compared to OEC® 9900 Elite non-collimated image area. 1 The ControlRad Trace semi-transparent filter should not be used in lieu of the OEC® 9900 Elite's collimators, as they block the most radiation, but can help physicians balance dose visualize structures outside the ROI when it is considered clinically advantageous to do so. Clinications may include cholangiography, endoscopic, urologic, orthopedic, neurologic, vascular, cardiac, critical care and emergency room procedures. 1 Relative to open Field of View (FOV), the ControlRad Trace Model 9 reduces at least 50% of the Dose Area Product at 50 kVp and ROI with width and length that are smaller than 1/3 the diameter of the full FOV.

The ControlRad™ Trace Model 9 consists of the following main components: ControlRad Trace Tablet, ControlRad Trace Filter, ControlRad Hardware, ControlRad Software and Firmware Modules and ControlRad Communication Interface all installed on the OEC 9900 Elite. The ControlRad™ Trace Model 9 is a system used to assist trained clinicians which is used to provide X-ray images when the clinician performs a medical procedure while reducing the patients and clinicians' radiation exposure (Dose Area Product) outside of the ControlRad Trace's region of interest (ROI) as compared to the OEC 9900 Elite non-collimated image area. The ControlRad™ Trace Model 9 can help physicians balance dose reduction with the need to visualize structures outside the ROI when it is considered clinically advantageous to do so.

The ControlRad™ Trace Model 8, when used with OEC® 9800/OEC® 9800 Plus, is indicated to provide fluoroscopic and spot-film imaging of the patient during diagnostic, surgical, and interventional procedures while reducing patients and clinicians' radiation exposure (Dose Area Product) outside of the ControlRad Trace's region of interest (ROI) as compared to the OEC® 9800/OEC® 9800 Plus non-collimated image area. The ControlRad Trace semi-transparent filter should not be used in lieu of the OEC® 9800/OEC® 9800 Plus' collimators, as they block the most radiation, but can help physicians balance dose reduction with the need to visualize structures outside the ROI when it is considered clinically advantageous to do so. Clinical applications may include cholangiography, endoscopic, orthopedic, neurologic, vascular, cardiac, critical care and emergency room procedures.
