Advanced Cath Lab System
Everything your interventional department needs — today and tomorrow. The FD20 delivers exceptional image quality, flexible positioning, and a comprehensive software ecosystem for the full spectrum of complex vascular procedures.
Key Performance Figures
The Allura Xper FD20 pairs a ceiling-suspended C-arm with a dedicated cardiovascular table, high-output X-ray tube, and a next-generation dynamic flat detector — integrated through the Xper user interface for intuitive, table-side control.
Motorised L-arm and C-arm with BodyGuard capacitive patient protection. Ceiling-mounted stand with 300 cm longitudinal travel at 15 cm/sec.
Free-floating carbon-fibre tabletop. Supports up to 250 kg; CPR-compatible at any longitudinal position. Optional tilt (±17°), cradle (±15°), and pivot.
Large high-definition LCD screen that supports multiple image layout configurations — tailored to each clinical procedure without cluttering the workspace.
0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 mm copper-equivalent filters combined with the MRC-GS 0407 tube reduce patient dose in cardio and vascular procedures without sacrificing image quality.
Fully customisable per user group and application. Geometry, Imaging, and Review modules can be positioned on any side of the patient table.
Fast Ethernet DICOM Image Interface exports to PACS destinations in real time. Supports DICOM XA Multi Frame, Secondary Capture, Store Commitment, and Worklist.
The FD20's next-generation detector and dedicated processing algorithms deliver clinical images that physicians can rely on — at the lowest achievable X-ray dose.
2480 × 1920 pixel image matrix at 14-bit depth. Maximum field of view 30 × 38 cm. Seven detector zoom fields from 30×30 cm down to 11×11 cm.
Three programmable fluoro modes per application, selectable at tableside. SpectraBeam pre-filtration, SPIRIT filters, Xres algorithm, and up to 30 pulses/sec.
Peak bolus automatically traced to build the roadmap image. Subsequent fluoroscopy shows catheter progress overlaid on the reference — reducing contrast and dose.
55°/sec maximum rotation speed; 240° arc in head position. Frame speeds of 15, 30, and 60 fps. Feeds directly into 3D-RA reconstructions.
Up to 2048 × 2048 pixels for vascular imaging. Standard storage: 50,000 images at 1k; optional extension to 100,000. Frame rate extension supports 30 fps at 1k.
Virtual collimation of shutters and wedges on the last X-ray image — eliminating additional dose during collimation changes.
The Allura Xper FD20 features a motorised ceiling-suspended L-arm and C-arm assembly engineered for precise, repeatable positioning across the full spectrum of interventional procedures — from coronary stenting to complex peripheral vascular work.
At the heart of the FD20 lies a 2480 × 1920 pixel dynamic flat detector delivering a DQE exceeding 73% at 0 lp/mm — capturing the diagnostic detail clinicians need at the lowest achievable X-ray dose.
The MRC-GS 0407 X-ray tube paired with SpectraBeam pre-filtration actively removes low-energy photons that would contribute dose without adding diagnostic value — protecting patients and staff without sacrificing image quality.
