The Samsung XGEO GC80 is a ceiling type X-ray system with a simplified workflow, increasing throughput and improving the workspace. With its soft-handling technology, clinicians can easily operate the top head unit, even without a side handle.

The simple, intuitive graphical user interface maximizes the user experience by applying a consistent user interface to both the top head unit and the workstation. Different sounds and colors are assigned to each movement of the system. Applying an audio user interface to each movement helps clinicians determine the location of the top head unit while keeping patients under observation. Throughout the exam setup and during the exam itself, the components are illuminated, alerting clinician and patients as to the progress of the exam: blue when the components are moving, green for ready mode, orange when the X-rays are being taken and red to indicate an emergency. Embedded sensors also prevent any moving component from hitting patients.

The clinician can easily operate the system by hand, including the mounted 12-inch touch screen. The large screen provides complicated information effectively. Every component of the control panel, including the handle, speaker and buttons, are located on the same layer for ease of use; the grip on the back side improves user comfort while using the controls. The swiveling arm is controlled with a handheld wireless LED remote control.
