OEC 9800 Hardware and Software Options

One of the most popular machines I sell is the OEC 9800 C-arm. When you sell a lot of something, you build up a list of FAQs pretty quickly. One that's posed to me several times a week is, "What are the possible hardware and software configurations for an OEC 9800?"

There are subtleties and nuances with each configuration that bear consideration a little further into the system selection process, but in general terms, these are the most important options that you'll choose from:

OEC 9800 Hardware Options

Standard 9"- OEC's standard-sized C-arm with a 9" image intensifier (II), used often for cardiac, orthopedics, pain management, general surgery, pacemaker placement, sports medicine

Standard 12"- OEC's standard-sized C-arm with 12" II, used often for vascular, neurovascular, and orthopedics
