Siemens Arcadis Avantic

Family: Siemens Arcadis · Modality: C-Arm / Mobile Fluoroscopy

Premium mobile C-arm in the Siemens Arcadis family, positioned for cardiac, vascular, and complex-surgery workflows. Direct predecessor to the current Cios Alpha at the same market position. The 33 cm (13") Mu-metal-shielded image intensifier is the largest II in the Arcadis family; paired with a 25 kW generator and 2.57 MHU anode heat capacity, Avantic addressed duty-cycle demands well beyond general-surgery OR fluoroscopy. Substantial global installed base, especially in cardiovascular OR and hybrid-room-adjacent deployments.

Platform highlights

  • 33 cm (13") image intensifier — the large-format II that distinguishes Avantic from entry-tier Arcadis variants. Mu-metal shielded for image uniformity in the presence of ambient magnetic-field variation (OR lighting, structural-steel environments).
  • Fully digital 1K2 imaging chain — 1024-class pixel matrix through the full signal path.
  • 25 kW generator — top-tier power in the Arcadis family, supporting the 250 mA tube currents cardiac and vascular procedures demand.
  • 2.57 MHU anode heat capacity — high-duty-cycle capable.
  • Rotating-anode X-ray tube with dual focus — finer focal spot for detail work, larger focal spot for high-output imaging.
  • Digital Cine Mode (DCM) — up to 30 frames/sec acquisition for moving-dye and cardiac imaging.
  • syngo user interface — the Siemens CT / MR / IR host-software family applied to mobile fluoroscopy.
  • DICOM 3.0 support with CD, DVD, and USB export.

Clinical positioning

  • Cardiovascular OR — EP lab support, structural-heart procedural guidance, open-heart imaging adjunct.
  • Vascular surgery — peripheral vascular, aortoiliac, carotid intervention support.
  • Complex orthopedics — spine, pelvic-ring fixation, sports medicine requiring high image quality.
  • Pain management — high-detail needle-tip placement.
  • Urology — ESWL, complex ureteral / renal interventions.
  • Hybrid OR adjunct — where a fixed cath-lab or IR room is not feasible but high-quality C-arm fluoroscopy is clinically required.

Market position (secondary / refurb)

  • Large European and North American install base. Arcadis Avantic is a common high-tier Siemens mobile C-arm in the refurb market.
  • Premium capital tier — Avantic is priced above entry-tier mobile C-arms on the refurb market, reflecting the large II and high generator output.
  • Service ecosystem — Siemens OEM service; multi-vendor mobile-C-arm service familiar with the Arcadis platform.
  • Successor pathway — Cios Alpha (premium flat-panel successor) and Cios Fusion (mid-tier flat-panel) are the current-generation successors.

Relationship to siblings and successors

  • Arcadis Orbic — 3D cone-beam sibling in the Arcadis family (System Card planned).
  • Arcadis Varic — mid-tier Arcadis sibling (System Card planned).
  • Arcadis Horizontal (Orbic 3D) — isocentric-orbit Arcadis variant.
  • Cios Alpha — flat-panel successor-class.
  • Cios Fusion — mid-tier flat-panel sibling in the current family.
