IFLEX-1.6 Veterinary Equine Portable X-Ray Unit (1.6 kW)

Hero Media

Product Overview

The IFLEX-1.6 is a 1.6 kW battery-powered portable X-ray source weighing only 8 kg, purpose-built for equine, large-animal and ambulatory veterinary practice where weight, runtime and field ruggedness matter more than peak output.

It pairs with a wireless flat-panel detector and acquisition software to form a complete equine portable DR workflow, supporting full-day field service with 200+ exposures per battery charge. Built-in 5-preset APR memory (M1–M5), ultrasonic SID ranging, and dual wired + wireless exposure control keep the operator efficient at chute-side and behind shielding.

Key Features

• 1.6 kW power output optimised for equine distal-limb and large-animal radiography
• kV range 40–90 kV, mA range 10–32 mA, mAs range 0.1–32 mAs
• Single 0.8 mm focal spot delivers sharp distal-limb and dental detail
• 5-preset APR memory keys (M1–M5 + STORE) for one-touch projection recall — fewer technique errors
• Ultrasonic SID ranging (default SID = 100 cm) eliminates manual distance measurement per shot
• Segment LED display: kV / mAs / SID (cm) with READY / X-RAY / ERROR indicators and battery gauge
• Dual exposure control: wired hand switch + wireless remote (operator triggers from behind shielding)
• Bluetooth, WiFi, and RS232 connectivity for flat-panel detector sync and laptop integration
• Lightweight 8 kg chassis with integrated handle for true single-operator portability
• Built-in lithium battery supports a full equine service day (200+ exposures per charge)
• Wide-input 110–240 VAC adapter for global power and vehicle-charger compatibility
• Compact 313 × 237 × 187 mm footprint fits into standard veterinary field kits
• On-panel radiation safety reminder (shielding, dose pens, dose monitoring, occupational health check)
• Compatible with mobile folding carts and DR detector accessories sold separately

Technical Specifications

Visual Evidence

Clinical Applications

• Equine distal-limb, fetlock, navicular and hoof radiography in field and stable settings
• Small large-animal (ovine, caprine, neonatal bovine) extremity work
• Dental imaging for equine patients in standing position
• On-site emergency imaging at racetracks and equestrian events
• Horse farm, pasture, equine hospital, zoo and scientific research institution radiography
• Routine field diagnostic visits with mobile wireless DR detector

Workflow Notes

• Default 100 cm SID is automatically measured by the on-board ultrasonic sensor — no manual tape required
• 5-preset APR memory (M1–M5) recalls kV / mAs combinations for the most common equine projections (DP, lateral, oblique, navicular, dental) in one keypress
• Bluetooth pairs the generator with a wireless flat-panel detector for synchronous exposure
• WiFi sync streams the resulting radiograph directly to the acquisition laptop / PACS
• RS232 retained for legacy wired detector workflows and field service software
• Wireless remote allows the operator to step behind shielding before triggering

Package Contents

• 1 × IFLEX-1.6 portable X-ray source (1.6 kW, battery installed)
• 1 × AC adapter (110–240 VAC)
• 1 × Wired hand switch
• 1 × Wireless remote
• 1 × User manual
• 1 × Warranty certificate
• Optional: mobile folding cart (150 × 200 × 130 cm)
• Optional: detector protection case
• Optional: V-shape positioning set (1 large + 1 small)
• Optional: lead protective set (apron, hat, scarf, glasses, gloves)

Why Choose IFLEX-1.6

• 8 kg is among the lightest equine portable X-ray sources available — true single-operator handling
• 1.6 kW is well-matched to equine distal-limb work; higher power adds weight without diagnostic benefit at field kV settings
• 5-preset APR memory cuts technique errors in repeated equine projections — operators dial up the same shot every time
• Ultrasonic SID ranging removes the most common source of exposure error in field radiography
• Bluetooth + WiFi + RS232 covers both modern wireless DR detectors and legacy wired panels — one machine, every detector
• Battery operation eliminates the need for site power or a generator at stable and pasture work
• Cost-effective entry point for ambulatory equine vets adopting portable digital radiography

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the IFLEX-1.6 a complete DR system?

No — it is the X-ray source only. Pair it with a wireless flat-panel detector and acquisition software to form a complete DR workflow.

How does it compare to the iFlex-1800?

IFLEX-1.6 (1.6 kW) is the entry-level field model with 5-preset APR memory, ultrasonic SID ranging and Bluetooth/WiFi/RS232 connectivity. iFlex-1800 (1.8 kW) adds higher working frequency (≥600 kHz), a slightly higher kV range and built-in leakage protection. Both target equine field use.

Can it image canine and feline patients?

Yes at lower kV/mA settings. For small-animal hospitals with daily volume, however, the benchtop iFlex-5 or iFlex-8 is more economical.

Is it certified for human use?

No — IFLEX-1.6 is sold as veterinary medical equipment only.

What is the typical purchase configuration?

Most customers combine IFLEX-1.6 with a wireless equine-rated 14×17 detector, mobile cart, and lead PPE set.
