- Cordless mobility through a battery powered, Wi-Fi enabled configuration.
With Confidence.
Flexible contrast options, unique safety and efficient workflow features help you confidently manage your daily tasks.
- Contrast Versatility: Centargo gives you the flexibility to use ULTRAVIST® (Iopromide)1, ISOVUE® (Iopamidol), OPTIRAY® (Ioversol), or OMNIPAQUE™ (Iohexol) contrast in an Imaging Bulk Package (IBP) presentation.2
- Visual Indicators: Light features enable you to track your current step and reduce uncertainty.
- Air Detection and Removal: A multi-layer air detection and removal process is designed to reduce disruptions and repeat scans associated with microbubbles.3
With Care.
