IC100 is a mobile 3D X-ray fluoroscope designed for use during surgery. The device captures video, still images and three-dimensional images. The C-arm and the workstation are merged into one cart, saving operating room space and making the unit easier to move. A wide C-ring opening suits many surgical scenarios. Smart-Link technology connects the system with surgical robots and shortens the preparation workflow. A CMOS detector supports high image quality at low doses. A separate image console allows remote exposure, reducing radiation exposure for medical staff.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The portable X-ray device captures video,still images,3D imaging while surgery:
Smarter:SMART-LINK opens up interactions with surgical robot,73% workflow deduction compared to existing flow.
More agile:1st ever highly integrated,all-in-one 3D C-Arm saves OR space,easier to move.
More convenient:Oversized opening fit more surgical scenarios.
Clearer:Next-gen CMOS detector allows high image quality at low doses.
Safer:Stand-alone image console allows remote exposure,greatly reduce radiation damage - Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 2218mm x Depth 834mm x Height 1958mm
70% of the materials of IC100 can be recycled, including plastic shell & metal structural parts.
IC100 applied up to 25% recycled materials.Recycled and reprocessed cartons and metal fasteners are used for transportation and fixation.
Self-developed coating, self-healing coating+antibacterial,reducing the use of disposable sterile plastic bags and excessive disinfection during operation, reducing the probability of medical waste. - Tags

4:A Robot posture+D electric support - Research
- Hundreds of stakeholders were surveyed.Applied in-depth function analysis of competitors,patent layout analysis and protection.
C-Arm is a mature market,3D C-Arm sales are very limited.Demand of robotic surgery brought a huge market to 3D C-Arm.Existing C-Arm designed for manual surgery,has huge drawbacks to work with robot:
Complex procedures,inefficient,patient anesthesia risk,collision risk,high radiation,big size,low intelligence,poor images+surgical adaptability+visual field,low 3D accuracy - Inspiration
- C-Arm is a must have for the popular Orthopedic robots, while existing-C-Arm doesn’t fit to robots.
Workflow:
Except 13-step surgical process,robot+existing C-Arm ask an extra 15-step and a technician to finish preoperative preparation, and additional 10-20min surgical time,reduced surgical efficiency and added patients’ anesthesia risk.
Large size of existing dual-trolley C-Arm affect surgeons’ work space, surgical result,even surgical safety. Operation room:limited space,densely equipped and staffed. - Image Credits
