OEC 9900 C-arm

The GE OEC 9900 first launched in 2006, and continuously introduced upgrade models such as the GE OEC 9900 Elite and OEC Elite with slight facelift and user interface upgrades. Although in 2017, GE cleared 510(k) for her new CMOS Flat Detector incorporated the GE OEC Elite CFD as a premium grade C-ARM system, the GE OEC 9900 with a 1k x 1k CCD camera and a traditional image intensifier type is still importantly positioned as a key C-ARM product in the GE C-ARM line-up.

The GE OEC 9900 is popular due to its extended clinical support – GSP (General Surgical Package), ESP (Extended Surgical Package, Vascular Package with 4/8/15/30 Frames per Second (FPS), Neurovascular Package, and Cardiac Package. Most packages are not standard, but optional. Cost of package varies. The GE OEC C-ARM series has similar clinical packages, so the learning curve is shorter if a user gets used to one of the GE OEC C-ARM series.
