Toshiba Infinix-i VC-i (Biplane)

Family: Infinix · Manufacturer: Toshiba Medical · Modality: Interventional X-ray

The biplane vascular cardiac configuration of the Infinix-i platform — two C-arms (frontal + lateral) imaging the same anatomy simultaneously, the standard architecture for neurovascular intervention, pediatric cardiac, and complex cardiac EP procedures where simultaneous orthogonal projections are required. Competes with Philips Azurion 7 B20/15 biplane and Siemens Artis Q biplane in the same clinical role.

Architecture

  • Frontal C-arm: ceiling-suspended
  • Lateral C-arm: floor-mounted (or alternate ceiling, configuration-dependent)
  • Twin flat-panel detectors (typically 12" × 12" frontal, 8" × 8" lateral)
  • Shared single patient table
  • Twin generators for simultaneous biplane acquisition

Clinical positioning

  • Neurovascular — aneurysm coiling, AVM embolization, mechanical thrombectomy where simultaneous orthogonal views shorten procedure time.
  • Pediatric cardiac cath — congenital cardiac procedures.
  • Complex EP — atrial fibrillation ablation, complex arrhythmia mapping in cath labs that retained x-ray fluoro alongside 3D mapping.

Refurb / parts notes

  • Biplane installs are uncommon on the refurb market (most operating sites are tertiary academic and don't deinstall as one unit). When they do come up, the second C-arm and lateral generator drive most of the value differential vs a monoplane Infinix-i.
  • Service: OEM-only effectively — multi-vendor service rare on biplane configurations.
  • Tube + flat-panel detector aging is the main service item, same as monoplane Infinix-i.
