The AIRO system, with its FP1000 CT tube, won a 2014 Red Dot Product Design Award in the Medicine and Life Science category. "We agreed to expedite the project and so Mobius became the catalyst for the development of what is now our new FP1000 CT Tube," he said. There was no X-ray tube on the market that came close to the specifications Mobius needed everything was too large and heavy, and would not fit into their gantry."Īccording to Kimmel, Varian had been working on a project to take its patented anode end-grounded X-ray tube design, which produces tubes that can run cooler and last longer, and adapt it for the mid-tier tube market. "Mobius wanted a system with no compromises, and this required many new inventions. Mobius airo how to#"Gene came to us with an idea about how to develop a next generation mobile CT system for the operating room," said Stephen Kimmel, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Varian's Imaging Components Business. Varian developed an amazing piece of technology for us, and it is a key component that makes the system possible." That left very little room for the X-ray tube. So we made the ring very narrow it is only about 10% of the volume of a typical CT scanner ring. "The challenge was to make it both big and small-big enough in the middle to accommodate larger patients and immobilization devices, and small enough in terms of outer circumference to be mobile. "Our AIRO mobile CT imaging system can be moved from room to room in the hospital it's not bolted to the floor in radiology like other conventional CT systems," said Gene Gregerson, president of Mobius Imaging. It incorporates a variety of custom components, including a specially-designed lightweight, compact X-ray tube from Varian. The AIRO system is small and maneuverable, yet offers a large gantry opening, making it ideal for intraoperative imaging. The AIRO integrates advanced imaging technologies into a compact, mobile CT system that offers procedural flexibility and real-time imaging where and when it is needed. Varian supplies Mobius with the high performance X-ray tube that powers the AIRO system's intraoperative CT imaging. SALT LAKE CITY, /PRNewswire/ - Varian Medical Systems (NYSE: VAR) is pleased to congratulate Mobius Imaging, LLC, on receiving two prestigious and internationally recognized honors for its AIRO® Mobile Intraoperative CT system: a 2014 Red Dot Product Design Award and selection as a finalist in 17 th annual Medical Design Excellence Awards competition.
