Siemens Healthcare has completed the first U.S. installation of its Artis One angiography system, which was cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in May.
St. John Hospital and Medical Center in Detroit has installed the device for use in interventional cardiology and electrophysiology applications.
Artis One can be sited in only 269 sq ft and has multiple axes that can move independently of one another, according to Siemens. The system can handle patients up to 6 ft, 10 inches, in height without repositioning, and it features Siemens' ClearStent Live application for interventional cardiology procedures, as well as HeartSweep, a cardiac imaging tool that uses dual-axis rotational angiography to image the entire heart in one C-arm movement, the company said.
