You may want a new C-arm, but do you need one? The OR managers and industry insiders we talked to say you can find the answer to that question in these three factors:
- What and who? First, determine exactly what you'll use the device for and who will use it.
- How many? Second, realistically estimate the number of procedures that will require the new C-arm.
- How much? Third, be sure to assess your reimbursement for the procedures, so you can be sure the investment will be worthwhile.
