ARTIS iconoAn icon of innovation

Minimally invasive treatments have already seen a decade of great progress, but they still hold vast potential for growth and innovation.

The ARTIS icono family is designed to help you realize that potential by enabling you to offer a wide procedure mix in a single interventional suite. Its state-of-the-art technology will keep you at the top of your game for years to come. This is what we mean by an icon of innovation.

 

ARTIS icono biplane angiography

ARTIS icono biplane is the ideal solution for a wide range of disciplines and procedures. Neuro procedures – and particularly stroke treatment – benefit from revolutionized cone beam CT image quality with syngo DynaCT Sine Spin and syngo DynaCT Multiphase depicting 8 perfusion phases. Lateral Plane Switch enables multidisciplinary usage between cardiologists and radiologists without compromises. With full body (165 cm) lateral plane coverage, there’s no need to compromise during abdominal procedures either.

ARTIS icono floor angiography

ARTIS icono floor is the flexible, multi-axis floor system that offers ceiling-like flexibility at a lower price point. The system provides full patient coverage of 2.1 m without having to reposition the patient and 1.9 m lateral coverage, which is ideal for e.g. radial access. Installation sizes start from just 25 sqm, while the free ceiling makes installation easier and minimizes air flow impact during imaging.

The ARTIS icono family is the ideal solution for a wide range of disciplines and procedures, in particular:

  • Neuro interventions
  • Cardiac interventions
  • Vascular interventions
  • Cardiovascular surgery

Approche clinique

ARTIS icono biplane helps stroke centers master the double challenge they face today – treating more patients, and ensuring shorter procedure times.

The system now switches effortlessly between 2D and 3D imaging and offers faster, more precise cone beam CT images, even in challenging areas like the skull base and close to the cranial bone. ARTIS icono biplane is literally expanding precision medicine to advance therapy outcomes in neuro interventions.

ARTIS icono provides you with new functionalities to increase confidence in interventional imaging. In stroke diagnosis new 3D trajectories facilitate the detection of bleeding and help you determine collateral status. In AVM treatment, 4D imaging yields valuable information to grasp complex AVM anatomy.

 

syngo Dyna3D High Speed. ARTIS icono systems can acquire crisp, CT-like images up to three times faster than conventional systems. This saves valuable time and significantly reduces the risk of motion artifacts when imaging uncooperative patients.

ARTIS icono systems are specially designed to make imaging workflows as smooth and swift as possible. Everybody benefits: you, your team and your patient.

With Twin Spin, you can now easily switch between 2D and 3D imaging for the first time ever, making 3D preparation and acquisition faster. There’s no need to park the lateral plane prior to 3D imaging with the floor stand, and AP and lateral isocentering is performed in a single step – no need to move system components.

  • Less risk of equipment collisions, e.g. with anaesthesia
  • Facilitates utilization of DynaCT
  • Makes procedures faster
     

With its intuitive operation and procedural intelligence, ARTIS icono helps you speed up your procedures and keep pace with new interventions and workflow changes in the cardiovascular environment.

Standardizing workflows to your personal needs is a big benefit in times off staff shortage and cost pressure. Case Flows will help you to improve your efficiency and give you the possibility to establish new and more complex procedures.

  • Optimize clinical operations for cardiovascular interventions
  • Positioning and system flexibility
  • Connected and digital interventional suite

Ideal femoral access
With a conventional system, up to 17 clicks may be done to perform an ideal femoral access which may take up to 90 seconds. With Case Flows angulations are automatically reached and imaging parameters are set automatically, requiring as little as 2 clicks.
ARTIS icono floor supports a wide range of vascular IR procedures, including new trends such as radial access. With 2.10 m patient coverage and an unparalleled 1.90 m lateral coverage, it handles even your largest patients with ease.

  • Transform your existing OR into a Hybrid OR with ease
  • Sufficient patient coverage is key for imaging
  • Patient obesity should not create any obstacles for imaging and surgery
  • Budgetary constraints must be met before and after installation
  • Hospital-acquired infections are creating big challenges these days and must be addressed by a modern system
     

ARTIS icono floor is the cost-efficient way to turn your existing OR into a hybrid operation room. Highlights include full tableside integration, fully motorized movements of the C-arm to all imaging positions and angulations. ARTIS icono floor has a small footprint (technically starting at 25 sqm) and is designed for easy installation.

  • Full feature set for vascular interventions, e.g peripheral diagnosis and stenting like TAVI, (F)EVAR, MitralClips
  • Supports cardiac diagnosis and treatment like PCI, EP, SHD and more
  • Integration with Sensis®
  • Multimodality imaging for complex treatments
     
Image patients up to 2.10 m (6’9’’) tall with ARTIS icono floor – including ‘head first’ peripheral imaging. You can use armboards for brachial access, and switch smoothly from imaging to surgery without repositioning your patient.

ARTIS icono floor offers a full motorized movement of the C-arm to image 2.10 m (6.9 ft) in patient direction plus a simple transition from imaging to surgery without the need to reposition the patient. Peripheral imaging of tall patients is possible in the “head first” position. The use of armboards is possible to faciliate brachial access. The extended parking position delivers comfortable patient transfers, and you can transfer quickly to the emergency position whenever the need arises.

QTIQ

OPTIQ provides constant image quality at a new ALARA benchmark. Regardless of procedure, patient size or C-arm angulation, OPTIQ provides image quality according to your personal image flavor.

Your pre-set image quality level is maintained automatically throughout the procedure. For maximum dose efficiency and motion compensation, this innovative solution uses a contrast-driven technique based on automatic parametrization supported by intelligent, self-adjusting algorithms.

  • Siemens Healthineers exclusive 5-parameter-driven exposure control taken to the next level
  • SID and collimation settings are automatically taken into account
  • Constant image quality at a new ALARA dose benchmark

ARTIS icono systems are designed for increased uptime. The multiaxis floor stand, agile lateral plane and table are powered by new, intelligent Siemens industry motor gears and controllers. These components can report their status via a remote service connection, making them significantly more reliable.
Together with our experienced, highly trained Siemens service engineers, that adds up to best-in-class service at stable and predictable costs.

ARTIS icono systems replace your existing Siemens angio unit smoothly, with a minimum of disruption and downtime. This means you can easily grow your procedure mix to stroke, body vascular, or tumor treatment in the same room.

Since ARTIS icono requires the same room size as Artis zee/Q (floor, biplane), minimal room reconstruction is required and the floor construction can be reused. You can benefit from the ‘ELEVATE options’ program and maintain your patient capacity thanks to minimal disruption to hospital operation. You will also benefit from the new ARTIS icono service contract and a flexible training concept, including our new online training with PEPconnect.
