Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a C-arm cost?
Mini C-arm: $20K–$60K new, $10K–$30K refurbished. Full-size II: $80K–$180K new, $30K–$80K refurbished. Full-size FPD: $150K–$350K new, $60K–$150K refurbished. Elesonic Elemac CFD-9 is competitively priced for developing markets.
What is the Elesonic Elemac CFD-9?
The Elemac CFD-9 is Elesonic's own manufactured C-arm machine, CE certified and designed for developing market needs. It offers reliable fluoroscopic imaging for orthopedics, pain management, and general surgical procedures at competitive pricing with manufacturer-direct service.
Which C-arm is best for orthopedics?
For orthopedic surgery: a full-size C-arm with image intensifier offers the best value ($30K–$80K refurbished). For extremity-only work: a mini C-arm ($10K–$30K) provides excellent imaging at minimal dose. For complex orthopedic procedures: consider FPD-equipped systems for better image quality.
Does Elesonic deliver C-arms to Africa?
Yes. Elesonic delivers and installs C-arm machines across Africa. Both new Elemac systems and refurbished multi-vendor C-arms are available with complete logistics support including customs clearance, delivery, installation, and clinical training.
How much does C-arm maintenance cost?
Annual C-arm service: Mini — $3K–$8K. Full-size II — $8K–$25K. Full-size FPD — $15K–$40K. Elesonic offers the most competitive C-arm service in developing markets. Elemac C-arms benefit from manufacturer-direct service pricing.
Do I need image intensifier or flat-panel C-arm?
Image intensifier: lower cost, proven technology, suitable for orthopedics and general surgery. Flat-panel: higher cost but better image quality, lower dose, and longer detector life — recommended for vascular/interventional work. For most developing market hospitals, II-equipped C-arms provide excellent clinical value.
What training comes with C-arm purchase?
Elesonic includes: equipment operation training, patient positioning for common procedures, radiation safety and ALARA dose optimization, image quality optimization, and basic troubleshooting. Training is typically 1–2 days depending on C-arm type and clinical applications.
Can C-arms be used for vascular surgery?
Yes. Full-size C-arms with flat-panel detectors and DSA (digital subtraction angiography) capability are used for: angiography, angioplasty, stent placement, dialysis access, and EVAR. Larger FPD sizes provide better field-of-view for vascular applications.
What warranty comes with Elesonic C-arms?
New Elemac C-arms: 12–24 month manufacturer warranty. Refurbished multi-vendor C-arms: 6–12 month warranty. Extended warranty available through Elesonic service contracts.
How portable are C-arm machines?
Modern C-arms weigh 200–400 kg (mini) to 400–800 kg (full-size) and roll on casters between rooms. Doorways should be 90–100 cm minimum width. The Elesonic Elemac prioritizes mobility for multi-room developing market use.
What brands of C-arm does Elesonic service?
Elesonic services: Siemens Cios (Alpha, Spin, Select), GE OEC (One, Elite, 9900), Philips BV/Zenition, Ziehm Vision, and Elesonic Elemac C-arms. Complete multi-vendor service coverage across all C-arm types.
Can I recondition my C-arm image intensifier?
Yes. Elesonic provides II reconditioning that restores brightness, contrast, and image quality at $5,000–$15,000 — significantly less than II replacement ($20K–$40K). Reconditioning can extend II useful life by 3–5 years.
What radiation shielding is needed for C-arm?
For full-size C-arm use: lead aprons (0.25–0.5mm Pb equivalent), thyroid shields, lead glasses. Room shielding depends on usage volume and local regulations. Mini C-arms typically need minimal room shielding. Elesonic provides radiation safety guidance with all installations.
How long does a C-arm last?
10–15+ years with proper maintenance. Key lifespan components: X-ray tube (3–7 years), image intensifier (8–12 years), FPD (10–15 years), mechanical systems (15+ years). Elesonic's maintenance contracts maximize C-arm operational life.
What is the difference between mini and full-size C-arm?
Mini: compact, low-dose, extremity only (hands/feet/wrists). Full-size: all clinical applications including spine, abdomen, vascular. Mini costs $10K–$30K refurbished vs $30K–$150K for full-size.
Can Elesonic service my existing C-arm?
Yes. Elesonic provides multi-vendor C-arm service for existing equipment from any manufacturer. Services include PM, II reconditioning, tube replacement, FPD calibration, mechanical repairs, and emergency support. Contact us for a service quote.
What DICOM features should a C-arm have?
Essential: DICOM Store (PACS), DICOM Print, DICOM Worklist (RIS integration), DICOM Media (USB export). These enable digital workflow integration. Most current-generation C-arms support full DICOM. Elesonic verifies DICOM connectivity during installation.
Is the Elemac C-arm available outside India?
Yes. The Elemac CFD-9 is CE certified for international markets and available across Africa, India, the Caribbean, and expanding globally. Elesonic manages all logistics including international shipping, customs, installation, and service.
What operating room requirements exist for C-arm?
Standard OR power (220/240V single-phase for most C-arms), adequate floor space for C-arm positioning, minimum 90cm doorway width, and lead personal protective equipment. No special room construction needed for most C-arm applications.
How do I choose the right C-arm for my hospital?
Consider: (1) Primary clinical use (orthopedics, vascular, pain management), (2) Budget, (3) Image quality needs (II vs FPD), (4) Mobility requirements, (5) Service availability. Elesonic provides consultation to match the right C-arm to your specific clinical and budget requirements.
