At a Glance

Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition's compact design and small footprint contribute to its low energy consumption, making it environmentally friendly. The system uses only 50.9 kWh in off mode, reducing overall CO2 emissions. By complying with energy efficiency standards like IEC 60601-1-9, ErP, REACH, and RoHS, it ensures minimal environmental impact. Additionally, the transition from USB options to e-licensing reduces material usage, transportation, and disposal loads, further contributing to sustainability.

• Standby power after clinical hours
  Gantry and couch servo, generator main circuit, operating panel monitor, console monitor power turned off
• Saves space with the smallest footprint in its class. Minimum Footprint: 19.38m²
• Space-saving features such as in-built cameras and rounded design contribute to easy installation and allow use in most standard CT rooms.
• Leverages AI and automation to create an efficient and eco-friendly workflow. It reduces workflow steps by 40% and scan planning time by 24%^*.
• Parts recycling rate at time of disposal: 88% (based on metal usage rate) for systems for global use
• Packaging is eco-friendly, using 76.1% wood, 15.4% cardboard, and only 8.5% plastic. We are also reducing packaging materials for CT Gantry covers.

Scanning just became more sustainable than ever before.

Saving power outside clinical hours

Gantry/couch, generator main circuit, CPU, and monitor power turned OFF when not in use.

If the console is turned OFF with the power supply mode set to the synchronized-switching mode, the power of the detector is automatically turned OFF.

Energy saving scanning

ONE hybrid

A thoughtful design feature that minimizes power consumption and reduces the carbon footprint, the hybrid drive converts energy during deceleration of the gantry, generating electricity which is recycled to power gantry components.

Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition saves space with the smallest footprint in its class. Its compact and space saving dimensions contribute to easy installation without large construction with a wide bore 80 cm, flared gantry, delivering comfortable exams for patients and easy to access to patients from the front or rear of the gantry.

Optimizing hardware

The size of the keyboard and control panel has been optimized, which saves space for other peripheral equipment while providing the 27-inch monitor for easy viewing.

Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition has two software touch panels, whereas previously patient positioning was carried out with buttons only.

Gloss coating

As procedure numbers increase so does the time required for cleaning. New gloss coating allows for easier and faster cleaning which saves time between procedures, allowing you to quickly proceed to the next patient.

Reduced materials

Moving from the USB option to e-licensing which reduces material, transportation and disposal loads.

The INSTINX workflow experience incorporates intuitive design and automated features for improved efficiency. AI-enabled solutions such as Anatomical Landmark Detection (ALD) support fast and consistent scan planning, while 3D Landmark Scan assists with scan range setting.

Reuse

Product Take Back Policy Canon Medical collects end-of-life products from medical facilities, selects usable parts, reconditions them, and reuses them as usable parts again. This reduces waste and the burden on the environment. Dismantling medical devices and identifying usable parts requires a certain level of skill.

We have been fully engaged in this activity since 2015 and reused approximately 1.5 tons of parts in the fiscal year, 2023.

Recycle

Canon Medical develops products that promote a circular economy by designing and manufacturing products using recyclable parts. Canon Medical actively collects and reuses parts that can be used in new products after they have been used and discarded. In addition, for equipment collected for reuse of parts, we follow Canon Medical's recycling operation rules for residual materials after parts are collected.

Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition is designed with circularity in mind, using recyclable materials and achieving an 88% recycling rate at disposal. Key recyclable components include iron, aluminum, lead, and FRP batteries. The system complies with global environmental regulations, such as RoHS, REACH, and WEEE, to avoid hazardous substances. Additionally, efforts are made to minimize waste through reuse of X-ray tubes, reducing environmental impact. The packaging also adheres to regulations in various regions, and Aquilion ONE / INSIGHT Edition ensures minimal CO₂ emissions during transportation, contributing to an eco-friendly product lifecycle.
