In line with the forthcoming changes to the breast screening guidelines, GE Healthcare is offering a 16.7% discount on the GE Healthcare Pristina Serena™, when purchased through NHS Supply Chain.
GE Healthcare’s Pristina Serena™ is the stereotactic biopsy upgrade option for the Senographe Pristina™ full field digital mammography system. This system can provide guidance to perform fine needle aspiration, core biopsy, vacuum assisted biopsy or hook wire placement procedures in upright or recumbent positions. The Pristina Serena™ transforms your Senographe Pristina™ into an interventional suite in just two minutes. With the Pristina Serena™, the breast biopsy procedure can be performed in less than 15 minutes.
Features and Benefits
- Tube parking position at -33° and +33° allows easy access to the
breast during the biopsy procedure. - The tube park position increases visibility of the workspace. It
provides complete access during the biopsy procedure and reduces physical strain of the radiologist. - With Pristina Biopsy, a Biopsy procedure can be performed in
<15min. - The near silence of Pristina and its biopsy positioner provides a
calm environment to the patient. - Lesions located up to 1cm above the paddle can be biopsied.
- The ability to easily change the biopsy device orientation (from
vertical to horizontal) without decompressing the patient may
accelerate the exam. - Remote angulation minimises technologist’s travel during procedure, reducing exam time.
- The short distance (<5mm) between detector and the edge of the breast support facilitate biopsies of lesions located close to chest wall.
- A laser light is included to serve as a guidance aid for an accurate anaesthesia injection.
- Touchscreen display conceived to work intuitively in the 3 axis
for targeting (X,Y,Z). It can be placed in both sides of the system to adapt the working position.
This offer is over and above the standard discount available through the NHS Supply Chain framework agreement. The discount is a fixed term offer. All orders must be placed before 31 March 2025.
