Incorporating the power of the revolutionary Eleva technology from Philips, it accurately adjusts to the way you work. Based on open standards, it seamlessly integrates into any hospital network. Created to assist in faster, more confident diagnoses, it delivers exceptional image quality at low X-ray doses. Easy to use. Easy to handle. The EasyDiagnost Eleva facilitates your work. I want to partner with a leader Delivering the world s most robust portfolios of healthcare systems, Philips continues to lead the charge in developing best-in-class technologies across all modalities. The EasyDiagnost Eleva is proof. 4

5 The EasyDiagnost Eleva offers: Convenient design best in class ease-of-use and ease-of-handling The revolutionary Eleva concept from Philips, exam- and patient-related system pre-sets are programmed to your preferences to increase efficiency and throughput Top-of-the-line imaging chain setting new standards for diagnostic image quality DoseWise, the unique Philips approach to IQ and dose management A broad range of applications, from radiography to R/F and vascular, interventional procedures Compliance with DICOM and IHE standards and regulations to ensure seamless and costeffective integration A platform prepared for future developments Vertical stand VS advanced with or without tilting to extend application range The possibility to create a full digital radiography and fluoroscopy room by choosing the DRF room solution: EasyDiagnost Eleva with in-table detector and/or digital vertical stand VS ViewForum, integrated view and processing software from Philips that allows access to multimodality images and information at the workspot Philips CUSTOMerCARE service programs, which give you the power of choice to optimize your clinical and financial results 5

6 Develop a system that works our way By continuously studying workfl ow issues in key hospitals throughout the world, Philips gains the knowledge to design practical solutions that solve everyday challenges. One example is the Eleva concept, which increases productivity by adapting the system to the way you work. Going one step beyond the standard pre-set that many systems offer, the EasyDiagnost Eleva delivers the ability to customize a variety of operator-, exam- and patientrelated parameters. Extended programmable defaults include SpectraBeam RF fi lter selection, IQ and dose settings and predefi ned print formats according to each user s preferences. Our Eleva system performs to your specifi cations from pre-exam to archive. New patients, different exam types, multiple operators, parallel functions the EasyDiagnost Eleva adapts to each with ease, increasing effi ciency and throughput. Empowered by a highly intuitive user interface, all functions are located exactly where you expect them. And if you connect the EasyDiagnost Eleva to your RIS, the RIS automatically triggers the appropriate pre-sets, increasing procedural effi ciency and minimizing the risk of mistakes. In every aspect, the system is designed to support you in providing quality care. Will the system complement our IT infrastructure? The EasyDiagnost Eleva s complete DICOM functionality, including DICOM worklist management (WLM), Modality Performed Procedure Steps (MPPS), store, storage commit and query retrieve, takes full advantage of your IT infrastructure enabling complete integration with your PACS and RIS. Its ViewForum software for integrated viewing and processing offers access to images and information at any workspot you prefer always with the same innovative and intuitive user interface. And because the RIS automatically activates just the right Eleva pre-sets, exam effi ciency is realized. In addition, the EasyDiagnost Eleva meets IHE standards.

8 Are there smart solutions for all applications? Providing superior functionality, the EasyDiagnost Eleva covers a wide range of applications, from gastro-intestinal, various iodine and vascular procedures to radiography using an additional ceiling suspended tube. DRF room solution High-end, fully-digital solutions are also possible with the EasyDiagnost Eleva, simply by adding a digital vertical stand and/or a digital detector in the table. In addition to all of the convenience advantages of filmless and cassetteless workflow, efficiency is enhanced, exam times are faster, and room utilization is optimized. And of course, this digital capability fully encompasses the ease-of-use Eleva concept. Within the DRF room solution the range of applications performed can be extended further with the inclusion of the height adjustable trolley. Smart design results in intuitive handling and ease of movement 8

9 Convenience is in the design Each and every feature of the EasyDiagnost Eleva is designed with ease-of-use in mind. From the user interface with its intuitive function locations to single-hand operation, the Eleva system offers a work environment with top-of-the-line convenience. 9

10 EasyGrip for one-hand operation The ergonomic handle provides outstanding leverage and can be operated with the left or right hand. Tableside control Conveniently placed to give you complete command of table movements at any tilt angle. 10

11 Comprehensive dose management with DoseWise functionalities Accessibility for interventional and vascular procedures Extended functionality with second tube A second tube makes radiography exposures easily possible EasyLat: Philips unique fold-out cassette holder features an internal grid and automatic exposure control for the fastest-available lateral exposures Adding a vertical stand enables further radiography procedures 11

12 I need excellent image quality, I want low dose. Can I have both? You can with Philips. EasyDiagnost Eleva delivers top-ofthe-line digital imaging by optimizing every component of the imaging chain. This innovative system offers in-pulse control during X-ray generation, CCD technology for image detection, flicker free monitors and Extended Digital Imaging for image processing and post-processing. However, achieving exceptional image quality is only half the battle. Doing so while maintaining the lowest dose is the true challenge. Enter DoseWise, the unique Philips approach to dose management. When it comes to dose management, Philips cares more. DoseWise: Highest image quality at the lowest possible dose Innovative solutions in three areas: Smart beam management The Eleva programming provides the right exposure and fluoroscopy settings according to the size of the patient, the area of examination, and type of intervention customized to your diagnostic requirements. In addition, the X-ray beam can be managed with in-pulse control technology, Spectra Beam RF, pre-set collimation and parkable grid. Less radiation time The EasyDiagnost Eleva uses unique technologies that limit radiation while maximizing image quality. GCF a combination of in-pulse fluoroscopy control and grid switching and in-pulse controlled intelligent exposures (IQX) ensure that images are right the first time, every time. More dose awareness Dose measurements, calculations and reports create more dose awareness for you, your patients, and medical staff. 12

13 Perfect image. Perfect sense. The DoseWise approach in the EasyDiagnost Eleva Grid Controlled Fluoroscopy Conventional Fluoroscopy In-pulse control Provides immediate and automatic adaptation of the X-ray beam to the specific anatomy and changing circumstances during the exam Available for pulsed fluoroscopy and digital exposures As the basis of Grid Controlled Fluoroscopy (GCF), it improves image quality while using the lowest dose With Intelligent Exposure (IQX), it consistently delivers high quality digital exposures Pre-set collimation Top-of-the-line imaging SpectraBeam RF automatic pre-filter selection chooses the right filter for each application FluoroGrab stores dynamic studies at a fluoroscopy dose level 13
