Fluoroscopy & C-Arm in Zimbabwe
Available Fluoroscopy & C-Arm Models

Fluoroscopy is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of the internal structures of a patient. Unlike a standard X-ray, which captures a single static image, fluoroscopy allows clinicians to visualize processes as they happen, such as the flow of blood through vessels or the movement of organs. A C-arm is a type of fluoroscopic imaging system that features an X-ray imaging source and detector mounted on a C-shaped arm. This design provides exceptional mobility and flexibility, enabling imaging from a wide range of angles without needing to reposition the patient significantly. This is crucial for minimally invasive procedures where precise, dynamic visualization is paramount. In Zimbabwe, as in global healthcare settings, C-arm fluoroscopy plays a vital role in a diverse array of medical interventions.

In Zimbabwe, advanced imaging solutions like fluoroscopy and C-arm systems are vital for a range of healthcare facilities and departments dedicated to providing high-quality patient care. Their real-time imaging capabilities are essential for numerous diagnostic and interventional procedures, making them indispensable tools for both large-scale institutions and specialized practices.

Teaching hospitals and large tertiary care centers often require these systems for complex surgeries, advanced diagnostics, and training medical professionals. Their comprehensive services benefit from the precise guidance and immediate feedback that fluoroscopy and C-arms offer across multiple specialties. Similarly, regional hospitals and district hospitals can significantly enhance their diagnostic and minor interventional capabilities, reducing the need for patients to travel to more distant centers for essential imaging-guided procedures.

Beyond general hospitals, specialized clinics focusing on orthopedics, cardiology, pain management, and urology are primary beneficiaries. These facilities utilize fluoroscopy and C-arms for minimally invasive treatments, diagnostic injections, fracture management, and implant placements, leading to better patient outcomes and faster recovery times.

Site Preparation: Laying The Foundation For Success

Before our expert technicians arrive, thorough site preparation is essential. This involves ensuring adequate space, appropriate power supply, and necessary environmental controls. We will work closely with your facilities team to confirm:

• Space Requirements: Sufficient clearance for the C-Arm's mobility, operator access, and patient positioning.

• Power Supply: Dedicated, stable, and properly grounded electrical outlets meeting the system's specifications to prevent power fluctuations.

• Environmental Conditions: Maintaining recommended temperature and humidity levels to protect sensitive electronics.

• Network Connectivity: If your system includes PACS integration or network capabilities, ensuring adequate network ports and bandwidth.

• Radiation Shielding: Verification of existing or necessary lead shielding in the procedure room to comply with local safety regulations in Zimbabwe.

Delivery: Secure And Timely Arrival

Upon completion of site preparation, your Fluoroscopy or C-Arm system will be carefully transported by our specialized logistics partners. We prioritize secure packaging and handling to ensure your equipment arrives in perfect condition, ready for installation. We will coordinate delivery times to minimize disruption to your daily operations.

Installation Steps: Precision Engineering In Action

Our certified technicians will undertake a systematic installation process, adhering to manufacturer guidelines and best practices. This typically includes:

• Unpacking and Inspection: Careful unpacking of all components and a thorough visual inspection for any signs of transit damage.

• Physical Setup: Assembling and positioning the C-Arm unit, including the imaging chain, workstation, and any ancillary equipment.

• Electrical and Data Connections: Connecting all necessary power cables and data interfaces, ensuring secure and compliant wiring.

• Software Installation and Configuration: Installing and configuring the operating system, imaging software, and any user-defined preferences.

• System Testing: Performing initial power-on tests and system diagnostics to verify all components are functioning correctly.

Calibration Requirements: Ensuring Diagnostic Accuracy

Post-installation, rigorous calibration is paramount to guarantee the diagnostic accuracy and image quality of your Fluoroscopy and C-Arm system. Our technicians will perform the following critical calibration procedures:

• Image Acquisition Calibration: Optimizing image brightness, contrast, and resolution for various imaging protocols.

• Geometric Calibration: Ensuring accurate spatial measurements and minimizing image distortion.

• Dose Calibration: Verifying that radiation output aligns with predetermined dose levels for patient safety and regulatory compliance.

• Workstation and Monitor Calibration: Ensuring accurate display of images for precise interpretation.

• System Performance Verification: Conducting comprehensive tests to confirm all system functions operate within specified parameters.

Upon successful completion of installation and calibration, our technicians will provide a thorough demonstration and training session for your clinical staff, ensuring they are confident in operating and maintaining the new equipment. We offer ongoing support and maintenance services to ensure your investment continues to deliver exceptional performance.

The investment in fluoroscopy and C-arm systems in Zimbabwe can vary significantly based on whether you are opting for a brand new, state-of-the-art unit or a high-quality refurbished model. Several factors influence pricing, including the manufacturer, specific features (e.g., image resolution, detector type, mobility), warranty coverage, and installation services.

For new fluoroscopy and C-arm systems, you can expect a substantial investment. While precise figures are subject to supplier quotations and international exchange rates, these advanced imaging solutions typically fall into the range of USD 150,000 to USD 400,000+ (converted to ZWL at the prevailing interbank rate). This price point reflects the cutting-edge technology, comprehensive warranties, and full manufacturer support associated with new equipment.

Refurbished fluoroscopy and C-arm systems offer a more accessible entry point for many healthcare facilities in Zimbabwe. These machines have been meticulously inspected, serviced, and upgraded to meet stringent quality standards. The cost savings can be considerable, with refurbished units generally ranging from USD 50,000 to USD 150,000+ (converted to ZWL at the prevailing interbank rate). While more budget-friendly, it's crucial to ensure that refurbishment is conducted by reputable providers who offer a solid warranty to guarantee performance and reliability.

When budgeting, remember to factor in potential additional costs such as shipping, import duties, local installation, training for your medical staff, and ongoing maintenance contracts. It is always recommended to obtain detailed quotes from multiple suppliers for both new and refurbished options to make an informed decision that aligns with your clinic's or hospital's financial capabilities and clinical needs.
