The system combines a familiar floor-mounted design with practical workflow enhancements that help technologists work efficiently throughout the day. By supporting both upright and table imaging in a single room, the FRS platform can help facilities improve room utilization while maintaining a straightforward imaging workflow.

Ownership Benefits

• • Helps improve productivity through efficient upright imaging workflows
  • Single receptor design reduces detector transfers between imaging positions
  • Traditional design minimizes technologist learning curves
  • Durable construction supports high-volume imaging environments
  • Standard 5-year parts warranty helps reduce long-term ownership costs

The combination of straightforward operation and reliable mechanical design helps facilities maintain workflow efficiency while minimizing potential downtime. Hospitals, urgent care centers, orthopedic practices, and outpatient imaging centers can benefit from a room design that emphasizes practicality, reliability, and long-term value.

Choose the FRS Configuration That Fits Your Workflow

The FRS platform is available in two configurations. Both systems provide the same floor rail radiography design, motorized elevating wall stand, mobile table, broad exam coverage, and support for upright and table imaging. The primary difference is the addition of Auto-Tracking technology on the FRS Elite.

FRS Classic

Designed for facilities seeking a straightforward, reliable floor rail X-ray room with traditional positioning controls.

• • Manual tube stand positioning
  • Motorized elevating wall stand
  • Upright and table imaging capabilities
  • Weight-bearing and cross-table exam support
  • Traditional workflow with minimal learning curve

FRS Elite

Designed for facilities looking to streamline positioning and improve workflow efficiency through automation.

• • Includes all FRS Classic features
  • Auto-Tracking tube-to-detector alignment
  • Allows technologists to remain beside the patient during positioning
  • Reduces positioning adjustments
  • Supports faster exam setup and throughput

The Elite configuration includes Auto-Tracking technology that keeps the tube stand aligned with the detector stand during positioning, helping technologists work more efficiently while remaining focused on patient care.

Multi-Purpose Imaging Capability

The FRS system supports a broad range of diagnostic imaging procedures using a combination of upright imaging and table-based positioning. This flexibility allows facilities to perform many common exams without requiring multiple specialized imaging rooms.

Common Exam Types

• • Upright thoracic imaging
  • Upper extremity studies
  • Lower extremity studies
  • Weight-bearing studies
  • Table and cross-table examinations

The ability to perform both upright and table exams within a single room can help maximize room utilization while supporting efficient patient flow throughout the day.

Supports Efficient Upright Imaging

The motorized wall stand and floor-mounted tube stand work together to streamline upright imaging procedures. By making standing examinations easier to perform when clinically appropriate, the system can help improve workflow efficiency while maintaining accurate positioning.

Upright Imaging Advantages

• • Supports weight-bearing imaging protocols
  • Simplifies positioning for standing exams
  • Helps improve patient throughput
  • Supports efficient orthopedic imaging workflows

For facilities that perform a high volume of orthopedic, chest, and extremity imaging, efficient upright workflows can contribute to improved productivity across the imaging department.

FRS Elite Auto-Tracking Technology

The FRS Elite configuration adds Auto-Tracking technology designed to further improve positioning efficiency. With the touch of a button on the angulation handle, the tube stand automatically remains aligned with the detector stand as the detector moves vertically. This allows technologists to stay beside the patient during positioning rather than moving back and forth between system components.

Auto-Tracking Benefits

• • Faster patient positioning
  • Automatic tube-to-detector alignment
  • Reduced positioning adjustments
  • Improved technologist workflow

Any manual movement of the tube stand automatically disengages Auto-Tracking, allowing the system to return to standard manual operation when needed.

Tube Stand and Detector Positioning

The FRS platform combines powered detector movement with manually controlled tube positioning to support a wide variety of radiographic procedures. The design incorporates traditional positioning controls while adding features that improve flexibility and ease of operation.

Positioning Features

• • Manual fully counterbalanced tube stand movement
  • Electric positioning locks
  • Tube rotation up to ±135°
  • Motorized elevating detector stand
  • Operator handgrips and angulation controls
  • Collision sensing and emergency shut-off functionality

The detector stand supports cabinet rotation from -15° to +105° in 5° increments and is available in both right-load and left-load configurations. This flexibility helps facilities accommodate room layouts, workflow preferences, and a wide variety of clinical positioning requirements.

Detector Rotation Flexibility

The motorized detector stand supports cabinet rotation from -15° to +105° in 5° increments, allowing technologists to position the detector for a wide variety of upright imaging procedures. Right-load and left-load configurations are available to accommodate different room layouts, imaging preferences, and clinical workflows.

Clinical Applications

The Summit AMRAD FRS Classic and Elite support a broad range of general radiography exams and are particularly well suited for facilities that perform upright imaging, weight-bearing studies, extremity imaging, and routine diagnostic radiography.

Ideal Healthcare Environments

• • Hospitals and health systems
  • Orthopedic practices
  • Diagnostic imaging centers
  • Multi-specialty medical clinics
  • High-volume outpatient imaging facilities

Common Imaging Procedures

• • Chest X-ray
  • Extremity imaging
  • Foot and ankle imaging
  • Weight-bearing orthopedic studies
  • General skeletal imaging
  • Cross-table radiography

The combination of upright imaging capabilities, flexible detector positioning, and mobile table workflows allows the FRS platform to adapt to a wide variety of general radiography environments.

Mobile Table Design

The included mobile table expands exam flexibility by supporting patients who cannot be positioned at the wall stand and enables a variety of table-based imaging procedures.

Table Features

• • Flat seamless tabletop
  • 500 lb patient capacity
  • Hospital-grade swivel casters
