VMX/VMX Plus
Functional high-technology
Light
with battery-free housing and two swiveling front wheels, the VMX is easily
maneuvered.
Stability is one of the outstanding characteristics of this system.
Solid with its shock absorbers and bumpers, the VMX affords extremely
safe travel.
The VMX is a mobile system incorporating stylish design for totally adapted use in
intensive care, emergencies, pediatrics, neonatology and orthopedics. |

Easy to maneuver... Extremely maneuverable in any
hospital environment.
- Compact design makes it easy to move the VMX between beds, even in crowded intensive
care environments.
- Low profile ensures optimum visibility during travel.
- Lightweight construction makes driving and handling almost effortless, even without
benefit of motorized drive.
- Designed to glide across carpets, into elevators, and up inclines of up to seven
degrees, the VMX also features a tilt-up footstep for smooth transfer over thresholds.
... and to operate.
The VMX has been engineered to let your technologists concentrate fully on patient
care. |
|
- A uniquely counterbalanced, articulated arm permits -±90-degree rotation, for
simplified positioning for any exam.
- Advanced friction locks maintain userselected tube or arm position automatically,
eliminating the need for cumbersome manual locks.
- Designed to run from a standard 117 V/ 220V/ 240V wall outlet, the VMX includes a
streamlined technique panel with kV and mAs selection switches and an easy-to-read digital
display.
- A unique disc braking system helps ensure safe travel; releasing the handgrip brings the
VMX to a quick stop.

Excellent image quality...
Consistently excellent image quality, minimizing the need for retakes, is routine with the
VMX system. Among the reasons:
- Its proven high-frequency generator is microprocessor-controlled to maintain constant kV
during each exposure, and provide accurate kV and mAs output over multiple exposures.
- Self-calibration software enables quick and accurate calibration at system startup and
during planned maintenance.
- With a 0.8-mm focal spot, our proven rotating-anode HRT X-ray tube has been optimized
for portable radiography.
- Optional Automatic Exposure Control employs a dual-field ionization chamber to
compensate automatically for variations in patient thickness, opacity, and SID.
...and reliability.
- Maximizing uptime was considered in every facet of VMX design.
- Fewer parts and reduced complexity mean greater reliability, speedier troubleshooting
and repair.
- Built-in diagnostic software permits quick and accurate problem diagnosis and
resolution.
- The VMX system takes full advantage of our extensive experience in portable imaging,
uses proven designs and components from existing GE technology.
