Rethink your possibilities.

With the Discovery™ IGS 730 gantry, nothing on the floor or ceiling obstructs your work or limits your mobility – your freedom is nearly absolute. An untethered, laser-guided gantry carries the imaging C-arm. You can move it to the table to image any part of the anatomy, then power it back, out of the way, to precise pre-chosen positions.

Movable gantry puts clinicians in control.

The Discovery IGS 730 provides full flexibility in your clinical space. Controls available at tableside and at the back of the gantry let you maneuver the system easily and conveniently. When in position for imaging, the gantry swivels around the table on a defined path, with precise laser guidance. Combined gantry and GE OR table movement enables you to stop and image at any point for coverage from head to toe.

One-touch back-in and back-out means fully flexible procedures.

With the Discovery IGS 730, you can truly have it both ways: Move the gantry to the table for imaging, move it aside when needed – and all at the touch of a button.

Teams work better with nothing in their way.

The Discovery IGS 730 gives physicians, nurses, anesthesiologists and technologists ample space to work together effectively. Clinicians can position on either side of the patient, according to preference. With the offset C-arm, the anesthesiologist can work comfortably at the patient’s head.

Customized parking provides the maximum freedom.

When it’s not needed for imaging, you can move the gantry aside completely, allowing complete patient access at the table and enabling easy room cleaning. You can pre-configure two parking spaces to suit your room size and shape.

Reinvent the way you work.

Enjoy the power of fluoroscopy for precise, real-time image guidance, 3D rotational angiography with CT-like imaging and fusion of prior 3D images from multiple modalities. Expand your clinical versatility and successfully plan, guide and assess increasingly sophisticated procedures with greater precision and dose efficiency with the latest generation of GE's advanced interventional imaging software solutions, ASSIST.

Optimal detector size adds clinical versatility

With the 31 x 31 cm (12.2 in) detector, the Discovery IGS 730 is designed to provide optimal coverage for a wide range of interventional and surgical procedures. The detector is the heart of a proven image chain entirely engineered and built by GE providing Detective Quantum Efficiency (DQE) that ranks among the highest available.

Easily accommodate large patients and facilitate imaging

With a full 129 cm (50 in) of space between the tube and the detector, the Discovery IGS 730 features a large bore. It provides collision-free 3D imaging to let you image large patients easily and perform cone-beam CT acquisition even for patients with arms down and intubated.

Achieve lower dose by design

The Discovery IGS 730 lets you choose the image quality you want while you strive for the lowest achievable dose. Multiple strategies of dose saving on the Discovery IGS 730 and with fusion imaging in Lille helped the team to achieve median Dose Area Product (DAP) of only 12.2 Gycm¹ for standard bifurcated EVAR and 43.7 Gy.cm¹ for complex fenestrated EVAR procedures^1,2. Additionally, when fusing a pre operative 3D model over fluoroscopy 2D-3D image fusion with BiView registration helps achieve up to 99% radiation dose savings, enhancing safety³.

Re-evaluate your options

Use precious space well with flexible room designs. Build your room into a new fully functional hybrid OR, re-configure a small room, or re-purpose an existing room. You can install the Discovery IGS in rooms as small as 35 square meters (377 square feet)⁴. You’ll have the potential to increase the procedure mix in your OR with exceptional equipment for minimally invasive procedures.

Suspension-free design removes a source of contamination

The mobile gantry leaves the room ceiling suspension-free, helping prevent contamination from airborne agents. It allows laminar flow above the surgical field even when in position for imaging, helping to meet the criteria for ISO 5 classification⁵.

Sterile draping adds protection

The detector and tube can be easily fitted with sterile covers⁶ specially designed not to interfere with any gantry or detector motion. Sterile drapes attach quickly and easily inside the C-arm using four simple side-mounted clasps.

GE OR table design adds more flexibility

For hybrid, endovascular and open procedures, the GE OR table provides significant advantages. The long tabletop (333 cm) accommodates catheters as long as 3 m and provides added space for placing sterile items. With up to 170 cm of longitudinal table travel, you can cover up to 189 cm of anatomy with table panning only. A free-floating tabletop with power-assisted motion facilitates panning for heavy patients. Table rails make it easy to attach accessories such as surgical retractors or anesthesia screen holder.

GE and MAQUET: Expanding your Hybrid OR possibilities

GE Healthcare and MAQUET have jointly developed a new hybrid OR solution that combines GE’s powerful Discovery IGS 730 angiography system with MAQUET’s versatile MAGNUS OR table system. By merging the capabilities of two major flexible platforms, you can expand your clinical opportunities. The integrated solution expands the clinical breadth of the hybrid OR to fit the needs of virtually any surgery and interventional specialty.

Seamless integration supports advanced imaging

The Discovery IGS 730 is fully integrated with a 360° radiolucent tabletop, enabling catheter-based procedures and image-guided surgeries to be performed while using the advanced imaging capabilities of the Discovery IGS 730, such as 3D angiography, cone-beam CT and 3D image fusion. You can synchronize the gantry and table movements through a single user interface to achieve optimal anatomical coverage. You can move the gantry aside completely using one-touch back-out enabling easy transition to open surgery and allowing complete patient access at the table.

Expand your procedure versatility

The MAGNUS OR universal table system can be used stand-alone in a wide range of positions and for diverse open surgical procedures. It is a full-fledged, versatile OR table that meets all the requirements of surgeons. The flexibility to use different tabletops⁷ allows you to expand for additional surgical procedures through advanced patient positioning, adapted to meet the requirements of cardiology, heart surgery, vascular surgery, neurosurgery, orthopedics and traumatology. The tabletops are exchangeable at any time for increased productivity and patient preparation in the induction room.

Draw the ideal room

With predefined, predictable trajectories on the floor and no rails on the ceiling, the Discovery IGS 730 gives you flexibility to draw the location of the laminar flow, monitors, surgical lights and rad-shield where you need them to be. Its back-out and parking positions are customizable to adapt your room size and shape. Whether you’re building a new room or re-purposing an existing room, GE and MAQUET work hand-in-glove to deliver the right results, no matter how complex the project . The state-of-the-art 3D planning tool enables comprehensive visualization of the hybrid OR before it is built. Additionally, MAQUET offers a highly comprehensive range of products for hybrid ORs, with operating tables, surgical lights, ceiling supply units, wall and ceiling elements, and leading-edge OR integration technologies.
