In its simplified set-up and operation, the Azurion 7 uses a range of Procedure Cards to help optimize and standardize system set-up for all cases, from routine to advanced procedures. The system automatically selects the appropriate Procedure Cards based on the RIS/HIS/CIS code of the scheduled procedure.
It also offers full control at table side through FlexVision Pro. Not only does this improve workflow within the exam room, it helps reduce the need for team members to leave the sterile area and walk to the control room during procedures. This can save time and help avoid delays.
