The X1 is an outstanding RF system\noffering a cost-effective balance of functionality to support a wide range of\ngeneral RF applications, such as chest, abdomen, or extremities along with\nUpper GI's, modified swallows and even joint injections. An ambidextrous\ncontrol handle for the imaging deck along with fingertip access to APR's,\nimage recording functions and site-specific programmable function buttons, are\nall standard on the new X1 RF system, all improving room workflow.\n\nThe X1 was engineered from years of direct user feedback gathered specifically\nfor the U.S. market, resulting in a remarkably user‑friendly and highly\neffective RF system featuring innovations such as a park‑anywhere imaging\ndeck.
