Portable X-Ray System iFlex-8

Product Overview

The iFlex-8 is the higher-power sibling of the iFlex-5, raising maximum output to 8 kW and tube current to 125 mA while preserving the same compact tube head and 7-inch touchscreen control unit.

Designed for busy small-animal hospitals and medium-to-large patient workloads, it shortens exposure times for thicker body parts and reduces motion blur during awake or sedated radiography.

Key Features

• 8 kW maximum output — 43% more than the iFlex-5 at the same chassis size
• kV range 40–125 kV and mA range 20–125 mA covering canine, feline, and equine extremity imaging
• mAs range 0.1–400 mAs supports thicker thoracic and lateral abdominal views
• Combined high-frequency source at 100 kHz±10% for kV stability
• 0.6 mm / 1.8 mm dual focal spot — small focus for dental/orthopaedic detail, large for bulk exposures
• 40 kJ anode heat storage capacity for back-to-back patient throughput
• 7-inch capacitive touchscreen with veterinary APR (canine silhouette)
• RS232 service interface, exposure hand switch standard, wireless remote optional
• Single-phase 110/220 V input — compatible with global clinic power
• 16.8 kg, 330 × 245 × 230 mm — same chassis footprint as iFlex-5

Why Choose iFlex-8

• 8 kW output reduces exposure times by ~30% versus iFlex-5 for comparable kV settings
• Same chassis footprint and accessories as iFlex-5 — drop-in upgrade for existing carts
• Higher mAs ceiling (400 vs 320) supports heavy lateral abdominal projections
• Consistent veterinary APR across the iFlex series — operators trained on iFlex-5 can use iFlex-8 immediately
• 1-year hardware + software warranty with documented service software access

Warranty & Support

1-year manufacturer warranty on hardware and software. Iwamed service network supplies spare parts, calibration, and service software upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does iFlex-8 differ from iFlex-5?

Same chassis and tube head form factor. iFlex-8 outputs 8 kW (max 125 mA, 400 mAs) versus iFlex-5’s 5.6 kW (100 mA, 320 mAs).

Is it suitable for equine radiography?

Yes for distal limb and extremity work in clinic settings. For field equine work, the lower-weight 1.6 / 1.8 kW models are usually preferred.

Can it run on battery?

The standard iFlex-8 is mains powered. There is no current battery-equipped 8 kW variant — consider iFlex-5Pro for cordless 5.6 kW use.

What detectors are compatible?

Any standard 14 × 17 inch wired or wireless veterinary flat-panel detector with synchronous trigger.

Does the higher power require special wiring?

Single-phase 110/220 V input is sufficient. Hospitals should ensure a dedicated 16 A circuit to handle peak draw during exposure.
