1. What is uAngio AVIVA?
It is the first interventional X-ray machine that is controlled by voice and mounted on the ceiling.
→ This means doctors can talk to the system to move it or take images, without touching it.
→ It was officially approved by the U.S. FDA.
2. Smart Movement and Room Coverage
The system can move freely in all directions using 8 robotic arms.
→ It covers the full room and gives doctors better access to the patient during procedures—better than older systems fixed to the floor or ceiling.
3. 3D Vision and Room Awareness
It has 3 special cameras that build a 3D image of the room, patient, and equipment.
→ The system can “see” and adjust itself automatically to improve accuracy and safety.
4. Automatic Image Quality and Low Radiation
It checks the patient’s size and automatically chooses the best X-ray settings.
→ This helps get clear images with the lowest possible radiation dose.
5. Used in Many Types of Patients and Procedures
The system works for many cases:
• Patients with metal implants
• Children
• Brain and heart procedures
• Pain management and regular interventions
6. All Features Included + Free Software Upgrades
Comes with all advanced software tools already installed.
→ You get all future software updates for free, for the life of the system.
7. Designed with Help from Doctors and Patients
Radiology teams and patients helped design this system to make it practical, safe, and easy to use.
8. Main Goal: Keep Focus on the Patient
Doctors can work more smoothly and safely, focusing on the patient—not the machine.
