FDA clears Siemens wireless detector DR

Siemens Healthcare has received FDA 510(k) market clearance for its Ysio, a digital radiography system with a wireless detector (wi-D) for positioning flexibility.

The system lightens user workload by “simplifying the radiographic routine and can be configured to the needs of customers with its wireless detector and intuitive control via an interactive color touchscreen,” according to Claus Grill, vice president, angiography, cardiac and x-ray systems, Siemens.

Ysio serves as an integrated command center where users can control their workflow from registration to image data management with features such as more than 500 automated system positions; power-assisted movements; a unique table design, together with the wi-D; and a color touch-screen panel for convenient system utilization, the company said.
