Soteria.AI

The Soteria.AI system is an advanced fluoroscopic and radiographic X-ray imaging device designed for a broad range of interventional and diagnostic applications in both adult and pediatric populations, utilizing a C-arm with a flat panel detector and specialized software for optimized imaging and radiation safety. Its methodology incorporates improved mechanical positioning via a multi-axis C-arm, enhanced image acquisition with a new CMOS detector and processor, and user-centric controls, aiming to improve procedural efficiency and image quality while minimizing radiation exposure through features like automated Region of Interest.

Soteria.AI is an interventional fluoroscopic and radiographic X-ray imaging system designed for a range of diagnostic and interventional procedures, including cardiac, vascular, and general applications. It is intended for use with both general and pediatric patient populations. The system utilizes a C-arm configuration with an X-ray source on one side and a flat panel detector on the opposing side, mounted on a patient table. It provides real-time visualization of patient anatomy, incorporates imaging techniques and tools to assist in procedures, and includes post-processing functions and image storage capabilities. A key feature is its integrated FluoroShield (CA-100S) accessory, which provides an automated Region of Interest (ROI) to reduce radiation exposure to both the patient and operator. The Soteria.AI system, specifically the Model AI-100, builds upon previous designs with several technological enhancements. These include a modified C-arm with an additional rotational axis for improved positioning, new motion control software for enhanced patient and X-ray beam alignment, and an improved collimator paired with a new X-ray tube model offering higher heat capacity. The system integrates a new CMOS flat panel detector (Teledyne Xineos 3030HS) and a new image processor ('Nypuist IX'). Software for the FluoroShield feature has been updated to accommodate the new detector and image processor. Additional features include a more consistent collision prevention system, an operator touchpad interface, and programmable presets for C-arm and table positioning. Non-clinical performance testing confirmed the system's compliance with relevant safety, software, and imaging standards.
