CALNEO Xair X-ray Unit
A portable X-ray unit weighing just 3.5kg
CALNEO Xair is Fujifilm's first-ever portable X-ray unit. It incorporates a compact and lightweight X-ray tube and battery, weighing just 3.5 kg. It is portable and easy to operate, allowing users to take simple X-ray images in places with limited space, like patient homes. These features reduce the burden placed on physicians and technicians moving and setting up equipment to provide medical services in the patient's home. The CALNEO Xair is capable of capturing high quality images despite low-dose radiation, due to Fujifilm's innovative cassette DR technology. This means that device contributes to reduced patient radiation exposure.
