FDA Clears New Radiography/Fluoroscopy Systems from Siemens Healthineers
Offering ergonomic controls and AI-enabled features, the remote-controlled Luminos Q.namix R system and the Luminos Q.namix T platform with tableside control reportedly facilitate workflow efficiencies for complex radiography and fluoroscopy examinations.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for the Luminos Q.namix R and Luminos Q.namix T radiography/fluoroscopy systems that may enhance efficiency and reduce radiation exposure for specialized and complex examinations.
Offering the option of control room operation, the remote-controlled Luminos Q.namix R system enables system operators to avoid radiation exposure and also bolsters productivity in radiography exams with a source-to-image distance (SID) of 180 cm. In addition to utilization for general radiography exams, the Luminos Q.namix R system was designed for gastrointestinal fluoroscopy procedures, and swallow and joint injection studies that require contrast media, according to Siemens Healthineers, the developer of the Luminos Q.namix R system.

Offering a combination of ergonomic features, AI-powered workflow guidance and multiple touch panels that emphasizes ease of use, Siemens Healthineers said the Luminos Q.namix T platform facilitates workflow efficiency for non-ambulatory patients as well as bariatric, pediatric and gastroenterology exams that require more intensive patient interaction.
“With these two new platforms, Siemens Healthineers offers the radiography and fluoroscopy communities a long-sought, user-friendly alternative to imaging systems of unnecessarily complex design, which have been a barrier to more efficient workflows,” noted Niral Patel, the head of X-ray products at Siemens Healthineers North America.
