HANDSWITCH CABLE FOR THE AMX-4/4+ by GE Healthcare

Product Overview

Key highlights

The HANDSWITCH CABLE for the AMX-4/4+ by GE Healthcare is designed for seamless connection to the portable X-ray system, enhancing alignment verification and exposure control. Its durable construction withstands extensive use, making it ideal for demanding environments such as intensive care and emergency rooms, where mobility and reliability are crucial. The Hand Switch Cable is one of the renewal parts of the AMX 4/4+ portable system. It consists of a 4 position standard handset plug type connector on both ends and a strain relief. It withstand 100,000 stretch cycles to 15 feet. This is the tangent type of cable that can be extended and will return to original contracted form while minimizing the stress on the wire. This cable is used to connect the handswitch into the control system of the AMX 4/4+ machine. The handswitch is used for easier, more comfortable alignment verification and exposure control. The AMX 4/4+ is the mobile X ray imaging system. This AMX 4/4+ portable system provides high performance in a compact and easy to maneuver package. It is designed for ease of operation and years of reliable service. It is battery operated which makes the AMX 4+ easily adapted to operate, intensive care, and emergency room applications. The maintenance free battery produces up to 50 high quality exposures with a single charge. This AMX 4/4+ system has the wide range of movement facilitates even difficult lateral hip and spine studies.
