With Azurion we help you to

optimize your lab
performance

To address rising cost pressures, how can I do
more with the same staff and equipment in my
interventional lab?

Get more done through Instant Parallel
Working
The Azurion 3 interventional suite has
been specifically designed to save
time by enabling interventional team
members to do two tasks at the same
time in the exam room and control
room - without interrupting each other.
As an example, while fluoroscopy/
exposure is taking place, a technologist
in the control room can instantly
review previous images from the same
patient, prepare the next exam or
finish reporting on another patient.
Quantitative analysis can be done in the
control room while work continues in
the exam room.

Accelerate set-up
The Azurion 3 uses a range of
ProcedureCards to help accelerate and
standardize system set-up for all your
cases. The system will automatically
select the appropriate ProcedureCard(s)
based on the RIS/HIS/CIS code of the
scheduled procedure.
Quickly adapt viewing for every case
The exam room monitors are suspended
on a monitor boom, so they can be
positioned for comfortable viewing for
any given intervention. This helps you
handle a broad mix of procedures with
greater ease.

In this way the interventional team
can get more done, leading to high
throughput and fast exam turnover.

In a simulation study with over 60 users globally,

91% believe that the system will help

reduce procedure time1

Azurion enables you to

provide superior care
As patient volumes rise and procedures evolve, how
do you maintain high standards of quality and safety in
your healthcare facility?

Improving exam consistency
In addition to helping optimize and standardize
routine tasks, the ProcedureCards can increase
the consistency of exams by offering presets.
These can include default protocols and userspecified settings on the procedure, physician or
departmental level. So you always have the right
settings for each exam and physician. Typical
settings range from X-ray imaging parameters
and geometry position to automatic position
control and patient orientation. In addition,
hospital checklists and/or protocols can be
uploaded into the ProcedureCards to help
safeguard the consistency of interventional
procedures and prevent preparation errors.

Insightful image guided therapy
We have pioneered a steady stream of
innovations in image guided therapy that help
clinicians determine the most advantageous
course of treatment with confidence.
These options include 3D-RA (Rotational
Angiography), StentBoost, CardiacSwing and
many more. All these advanced interventional
tools are seamlessly integrated in the Azurion 3
to support your clinical workflow

In a simulation study with over 60 users globally,

100% believe that the possibility to display
Checklists & Protocols on the system will help
minimize preparation errors.1

As patient volumes rise and procedures
evolve, how do you maintain high
standards of quality and safety in your
healthcare facility?

Managing dose efficiently
DoseWise solutions help you take control over patient care, staff
safety, and regulatory compliance with a comprehensive suite of
radiation dose management tools, training and integrated product
technologies.
The Azurion 3 in particular offers several features that have a
positive impact on dose. The MRC200+ X-ray tube incorporates
SpectraBeam filtration, which helps maintain image quality at a low
dose. Our clinically optimized X-ray protocols, low-dose protocols,
fluoro choices and fluoro all allow you to tailor your system by
image quality and dose to meet your specific requirements.

High standards of safety and

low radiation
exposure

Preparing your next run without fluoroscopy
The Zero Dose Positioning function let’s you pan the table and
change the table height or field-of-view on your last image.
This means you can already see the effect of moving the table or
changing the field-of-view on your region of interest to prepare
your next run without using fluoroscopy.

Managing dose across your organization
Philips DoseAware provides instant, time-stamped feedback in
the exam room so you can immediately adjust working habits to
decrease radiation exposure with your staff.
A critical component in providing exceptional patient care is strong
radiation control and management. We can help you create a
comprehensive dose management program with DoseWise Portal
at its core. This turnkey dose management solution gives you
control over patient dose and staff occupational dose.
It increases transparency across the entire enterprise and enables
you to make data-driven decisions concerning quality initiatives
and radiation management.

Outstanding

In a simulation study with over 60 users globally,

user experience
Studies have documented the adverse impact that poor usability,
design and ergonomics can have on medical procedures and
patient safety.2 How can you make it easy for your staff to use
imaging solutions?

We do this by:
Giving you cutting edge guidance, ease of use
and responsiveness in our new standardized
Azurion user interface. It is designed to
anticipate what you need, when you need it, to
make procedures flow intuitively and easily.

The next step in ease of use
All controls feature the latest advances in
ease of use. Task guidance, for example,
means the user interface button appears only
when needed, allowing you to concentrate on
the image.

An extensive user-centric design process was
carried out for the Azurion system. Clinical
users tested the user interface at different
stages during the iterative development process
to ensure that the system would be easy to
use, learn and remember. The new workflow
approach was further evaluated by 61 physicians
and technologists in Europe and the USA in
a simulated environment. The participants
had experience using various brands of
interventional X-ray systems.

On screen, you can easily see information
against the distinctive black background where
active applications are highlighted. Backlit icons
and distinctly shaped buttons on the Control
Module promote intuitive operation. All controls
are designed for easy cleaning to meet stringent
sterility requirements.

96% are satisfied

with how easy it is
to use the system1

In a simulation study with over 60 users globally,
users gave the Azurion a score of 87 on the
System Usability Scale (SUS),3 which is in the top
10% of the scale.4

Designed around you and your procedure
All Azurion systems and interventional tools
use the same standardized user interface which
makes it easy to train and rotate staff. Use has
been further simplified through a sophisticated
help function. You can access digital user guides
with one click for on-the-spot assistance.

interventions. The entire coronary tree can be visualized in a single view with
minimized table panning. Thanks to the compact design of the 12" flat detector,
a full range of projection angles, including the spider view, can be made.

“

Cover the vascular anatomy you need
Thanks to the next generation 15" detector your vascular procedures can benefit
from excellent image quality. It gives you access to a wider anatomical coverage
to give you the opportunity to perform a variety of procedures. Combined with
the superb Philips image processing chain, you can see small vessel details with
exceptional clarity. You can also select your field of view, giving you the insight you
need to diagnose and treat patients with precision and confidence.

The bigger field size on the FD12" (30 cm)

perfect for navigating

is
towards the coronaries and for left ventricle
imaging. You can also see bigger parts of
the aorta with this detector size.5”

The Azurion 15" Flat Detector combined with the swivel option supports head-totoe imaging during interventions. This, coupled with three-side positioning provides
flexibility and allows patient access from all sides. There is an option to pivot the
table for radial approaches.
