Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What types of procedures is the Ariel C-Arm ceiling-mounted fluoroscopic system designed to support in a clinical setting?
The Ariel C-Arm is specifically designed for radiographic procedures requiring real-time visualization of internal structures, making it suitable for interventional and diagnostic radiology. This includes procedures like orthopedic surgeries, vascular interventions, and other fluoroscopy-guided treatments where precise imaging is critical.
How is the Ariel C-Arm system supplied, and what are the requirements for reuse between patients?
The Ariel C-Arm is supplied as a reusable system, meaning it is intended for multiple uses in a clinical environment. Between uses, it must undergo appropriate sterilization protocols to ensure patient safety and device integrity, as outlined in the manufacturer’s instructions.
What regulatory pathway was followed for the FDA clearance of this device, and what does that mean for its use in the U.S.?
The Ariel C-Arm received FDA 510(k) clearance under K-number K880527, classified as substantially equivalent to a predicate device. This means it was determined to have the same intended use and technological characteristics as a previously cleared device, allowing it to be legally marketed in the U.S. under the regulatory category 892.1650 for fluoroscopic imaging systems.
Are there any specific safety considerations for using this device in environments with MRI equipment?
The available data does not provide explicit MRI safety information for the Ariel C-Arm. If used in proximity to MRI systems, clinicians should follow strict protocols to avoid interference or safety hazards, as the device’s compatibility with MRI environments is not addressed in the provided documentation.
