Block Radiation at the Source. Full body scatter radiation protection for the entire interventional suite

Case Study

A Novel Robotic Radiation Shielding Device for Electrophysiologic Procedures: A Prospective Study
Fluoroscopy-guided procedures are the leading source of occupational ionizing radiation exposure for electrophysiologic (EP) personnel. High cumulative doses of X-ray radiation might increase the risk for malignancies, early development of cataracts, and orthopedic problems due to the heavy weight of lead aprons. Reducing high scatter radiation exposure during medical procedures is the principal task of many professional societies and advisory groups.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Radiaction System designed to provide full-body protection to all medical personnel during fluoroscopy-guided procedures by encapsulating the imaging beam and blocking scatter radiation.

What to Expect

Assessment of Radiation Reduction: Effectiveness in reducing scatter radiation during EP and CIED procedures.
Evaluation of Deployment Impact: Relationship between the degree of deployment and the corresponding level of radiation protection achieved.
Comparison of Procedure Times: Assess whether the use of the robotic radiation shielding device impacts procedure durations.

Block Radiation at the Source

High exposure to C-arm radiation has increased health risks for interventionists and medical teams. Side effects of scatter radiation exposure when caring for patients in the cath lab can be avoided.

Radiation Exposure Can Cause a Range of Health Issues

Brain Tumors

Breast Cancer

Cataracts

Cognitive Degradation

Fetal Exposure

Orthopedic Injury
