Product Description
GE OEC Elite C-Arm System – Premium Mobile Surgical Imaging with Image Intensifier
The GE OEC Elite C-Arm System is a premium mobile c-arm built for surgical teams that need dependable image quality, efficient workflow, and flexible positioning in the operating room. As the standard Elite model with an image intensifier, it is designed to deliver the familiar OEC imaging experience while adding workflow and usability enhancements for demanding procedural environments.
Designed to support a broad range of surgical applications, the GE OEC Elite combines image intensifier-based imaging with a streamlined user interface, lightweight workstation, and large 4K display. It is positioned for use in orthopedics, gastrointestinal procedures, endoscopic cases, urologic procedures, neurologic applications, critical care, emergency settings, and vascular imaging.
Key Features of the GE OEC Elite C-Arm System
Image Intensifier-Based Surgical Imaging
The GE OEC Elite is the image intensifier version of the Elite platform, making it a strong option for facilities that prefer a traditional OEC image intensifier c-arm rather than a flat detector model. It is designed to deliver the image quality OEC systems are known for in a premium mobile surgical imaging format.
Large 32 Inch UHD 4K Display
The system includes a 32 inch UHD 4K monitor that extends up to 27 inches for easier surgeon viewing. This larger display helps support image visibility in the operating room and improves line-of-sight viewing during procedures.
TrueView Low-Profile X-Ray Tube Housing
The OEC Elite features GE’s TrueView low-profile x-ray tube housing, which allows the detector to be positioned closer to the anatomy. According to GE OEC Surgery, this design can create up to a 22 percent larger field of view compared with standard positioning geometry.
Live Zoom and Image Planning Tools
The system includes Live Zoom along with Digital Pen, measurements, and annotations to support planning and image review during procedures. These workflow tools are designed to help clinicians evaluate anatomy and document findings more efficiently at the point of care.
Automatic Imaging Profiles
The GE OEC Elite includes automatic imaging profiles, including General HD, to help accentuate critical anatomy based on the clinical application. These profiles support more efficient imaging setup and help tailor visualization to procedural needs.
Six Dose Control Options
The system offers six dose control options that can be used alone or in combination: Digital Spot, Digital Cine Pulse, High Level Fluoroscopy, Standard Fluoroscopy, Low Dose, and Pulse. These settings help facilities balance image quality and dose management across different procedure types and physician preferences.
Improved Maneuverability
GE OEC Surgery states that the Elite requires 30 percent less force to steer, helping improve c-arm maneuverability in active OR settings. This can make positioning easier during procedures that require frequent angle changes or tight room navigation.
Lightweight Workstation with SmartConnect
The GE OEC Elite includes a lightweight workstation with SmartConnect, supporting a more efficient mobile workflow. This design helps users manage imaging tasks more easily while keeping the system practical for busy surgical environments.
Simplified User Interface
The user interface is designed with fewer clicks and more active icons to simplify operation. This can help reduce workflow friction and make the system easier to use during fast-paced procedures.
Ideal Clinical Applications
The GE OEC Elite C-Arm System is well suited for:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Gastrointestinal procedures
- Endoscopic imaging
- Urologic procedures
- Neurologic applications
- Critical care and emergency imaging
- Vascular procedures
Why Choose the GE OEC Elite C-Arm System?
