Accogent BladeView Glassless DR Wireless Detector

Glassless Detector Technology Designed to Reduce Weight

The defining feature of the Accogent BladeView Glassless DR is its glassless detector construction. Traditional flat panel detectors incorporate glass within portions of the detector assembly. BladeView’s glassless design helps reduce detector weight while maintaining the durability required for everyday clinical imaging.

A lighter detector can make positioning easier during routine examinations while helping improve handling throughout the workday. This combination of portability and durability is what distinguishes the BladeView family from many conventional wireless DR detectors.

Key advantages include:

• Glassless detector construction
• Lightweight wireless design
• Durable housing for daily clinical use
• Fast wireless image transfer
• Available in multiple detector configurations

Whether used as part of a fixed radiography room or paired with a compatible mobile X-ray system, BladeView is designed to support efficient digital radiography without adding unnecessary weight to the imaging workflow.

Choose the BladeView Configuration That Fits Your Workflow

The Accogent BladeView Glassless DR is available in two detector configurations. Both utilize the same wireless platform and glassless construction while offering different detector dimensions to support varying imaging preferences and clinical workflows.

14 × 17 Detector Configuration

The 14 × 17-inch detector represents the industry-standard panel size used for most routine general radiography. Its balance of imaging coverage and lightweight handling makes it a versatile choice for facilities performing a broad range of everyday examinations.

Key features include:

• • 14 × 17 in. detector size
  • Cesium Iodide (CsI) scintillator
  • Approximately 5.1 lb. (2.3 kg)
  • Lightweight design for routine positioning

The 14 × 17 configuration is well suited for organizations looking for a detector that balances portability with broad clinical versatility.

17 × 17 Detector Configuration

The 17 × 17-inch detector provides a larger imaging field for facilities that prefer additional detector coverage during general radiography. The larger panel can help reduce repositioning for certain examinations while maintaining the same wireless workflow and glassless construction.

Key features include:

• • 17 × 17 in. detector size
  • Gadolinium Oxysulfide (GOS) scintillator
  • Approximately 5.5 lb. (2.5 kg)
  • Expanded detector coverage

Selecting the appropriate detector configuration ultimately depends on clinical workflow, preferred detector size, and the imaging requirements of the organization.

Fast Wireless Image Transfer & Flexible Connectivity

Wireless performance plays an important role in maintaining an efficient imaging workflow. The Accogent BladeView Glassless DR combines IEEE 802.11ac wireless communication with rapid image transmission to help reduce delays between image acquisition and review.

Workflow features include:

• IEEE 802.11ac wireless communication
• Approximately two-second image transfer
• Built-in wireless access point mode
• Reliable wireless connectivity
• Straightforward detector pairing

Fast image availability helps technologists move efficiently from one examination to the next while maintaining a streamlined digital radiography workflow.

Battery Performance Built for Busy Imaging Departments

Battery performance can directly affect productivity throughout the clinical day. BladeView incorporates dual hot-swappable batteries that help minimize interruptions during extended imaging sessions.

Dual Hot-Swappable Battery System

The detector is designed so batteries can be exchanged without shutting down detector operation, allowing departments to continue imaging while maintaining power throughout the workday.

Benefits include:

• • Dual hot-swappable batteries
  • More than eight hours of typical operation
  • More than 1,000 exposures per charge cycle under specified operating conditions
  • Battery replacement without powering down the detector

This battery design helps support continuous imaging throughout demanding clinical schedules.

Built to Handle Everyday Clinical Use

Wireless detectors are handled frequently throughout the day, making durability an important consideration. BladeView incorporates protective features that help support dependable operation during routine clinical use.

Protective Features That Support Long-Term Reliability

BladeView includes integrated technologies that help monitor detector operation while protecting it from common environmental conditions encountered in healthcare facilities.

Features include:

• • IPX6 water-resistant housing
  • Internal temperature monitoring
  • Integrated gravity sensor
  • Durable glassless detector construction

Together, these features help support reliable detector performance while providing additional confidence during everyday handling and cleaning.

Ideal Imaging Environments

The Accogent BladeView Glassless DR is designed for general digital radiography and is intended for use as part of a compatible DR imaging system. Detector integration and software compatibility depend on the specific X-ray system and DR workflow.

BladeView is well suited for:

• Fixed digital radiography rooms
• Mobile X-ray systems
• DR retrofit projects
• New DR installations
• General radiographic imaging

With two detector configurations available, healthcare providers can select the BladeView panel that best complements their imaging workflow, detector size preferences, and clinical requirements.
