The GE AMX IV Plus X-ray scanner is a portable, battery-operated radiographic system designed for high-quality diagnostic imaging in environments where mobility is essential. Manufactured by General Electric (GE), this model builds on the capabilities of its predecessors, including the AMX II, offering enhanced performance, reliability, and ease of use. It is widely used in hospitals, emergency departments, intensive care units, and other clinical settings where transporting patients to a stationary X-ray room is impractical.
Key Features and Functions:
Enhanced Portability: The GE AMX IV Plus is designed for maximum mobility, allowing it to be easily maneuvered to the bedside of patients. This makes it ideal for use in critical care settings, operating rooms, and in situations where patients are unable to be moved due to their condition.
Battery-Powered Operation: The unit operates on a rechargeable battery system, providing the flexibility to perform numerous X-ray exposures on a single charge. This battery efficiency is crucial for maintaining workflow in busy clinical environments and reduces downtime associated with recharging.
Improved Image Quality: The AMX IV Plus offers enhanced imaging capabilities compared to earlier models, delivering high-quality radiographic images that assist in accurate diagnosis. The system features advanced exposure settings that can be adjusted for various body parts and patient sizes, ensuring optimal image clarity.
User-Friendly Interface: With a simplified control panel and easy-to-use interface, the AMX IV Plus allows radiologic technologists to quickly and efficiently perform X-ray scans. The system’s design includes features such as a digital display for monitoring system status and battery levels, as well as easy-to-access controls for adjusting imaging parameters.
60Hz Frequency Compatibility: Designed for regions with a standard 60Hz electrical system, the AMX IV Plus integrates seamlessly into healthcare settings in areas such as North America.
Durability and Reliability: Known for its robust construction, the AMX IV Plus is built to withstand the demands of frequent use in various healthcare environments. Its durability ensures long-term performance, making it a reliable choice for facilities that require consistent mobile imaging solutions.
Applications:
- Emergency and Critical Care: Ideal for use in emergency rooms and intensive care units, where rapid imaging is needed without moving the patient.
- Bedside Imaging: Allows for convenient bedside X-rays, reducing the need to transport critically ill or immobile patients.
- Orthopedic and Trauma Imaging: Used for evaluating fractures and other musculoskeletal conditions in trauma settings.
- Routine Radiography: Suitable for a range of routine diagnostic procedures, including chest, abdomen, and extremity imaging.
Advancements Over Previous Models:
The GE AMX IV Plus includes several upgrades over earlier models, such as improved battery life, enhanced image processing capabilities, and a more ergonomic design. These improvements help streamline the imaging process, reduce patient wait times, and enhance the overall efficiency of radiographic services.
