Multix Impact Digital X-ray System
Multix Impact is a state-of-the-art radiographic digital X-ray
system developed by Siemens Healthineers.

Multix Impact is a state-of-the-art radiographic digital X-ray

system developed by Siemens Healthineers.

The system converts X-rays into digital signals for diagnostic imaging.

The device received 510(k) certification from the US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for clinical use in January 2019. The FDA classified
the system as a stationary radiology X-ray system.

Multix Impact digital X-ray system design and features

The Multix system is a floor-mounted digital X-ray machine featuring

modular X-ray components such as an X-ray tube, a Bucky wall stand, a
Bucky table, an X-ray generator and a wireless detector.

The system features a flat table top and is equipped with MAX wi-D and
Impact wi-D wireless detectors. These include scintillators made from
caesium iodide (CsI), which offers high image quality with low patient dose.

Multix Impact digital X-ray system details

The system’s tabletop is 233cm-long and 80cm-wide. It has a fixed table
height of 70cm, while the elevating table height ranges from 51.5cm to
90cm.

The maximum patient weight capacity of the table is 300kg. The distance
between the table top and the detector is around 73mm.

The Bucky wall stand has a vertical travel range of 147cm and a central
beam height of 33cm. The distance between the stand cover and the
detector is less around 42mm.
“The positioning camera and CsI detector avoid the risk of
unnecessary exposure to radiation.”

The X-ray tube features a 10.1in touchscreen user interface with a resolution
of 1,280×800 pixels. Both wireless detectors are 35cmx43cm in size.

The MAX wi-D detector is 19mm-thick and weighs 3.3kg, while the IMPACT
wi-D has a thickness of 16mm and weighs 3.1kg. The X-ray generator has
output ranges of 55kW, 65kW and 80kW with a frequency of around
100kHz.

Benefits of Multix Impact digital X-ray system

The Multix Impact digital X-ray system provides a cost-effective and user-
friendly environment with intuitive controls and graphical programme
selection.

The patient-positioning camera and pre-set programmes help less

experienced technicians take low-dose images accurately. The system’s fast
digital imaging cycles and quick visual adjustments help provide high-
quality and reliable reports.

The positioning camera and CsI detector avoid the risk of unnecessary
exposure to radiation. The X-ray tube-mounted touchscreen allows
technicians to be with patients for a longer duration.
The positioning guide enables complex scans to be prepared quickly. The
system is enabled with motorisation and tracking functions to reduce
physically exhaustive tasks for the technicians.

Other features

The Multix Impact X-ray system operates on a single exposure operating

mode and is accessorised with a wireless, Bluetooth-enabled remote control
console.

The system has a standard collimator with an automatic collimation size

sensing (ACSS) function. It automatically recognises the detector format
and avoids unnecessary exposure to radiation.

The detector’s in-tray charging and advanced detector sharing features help
accelerate workflows and reduce waiting times. It has six hours of battery
capacity in standby mode and can take up to 950 images.
