The Piranha is designed as a truly self-contained, all-in-one, multi-function meter that fits in the palm of your hand. The Piranha assures accurate results in a simple, fast and smart way – in one shot; kV, time, dose, dose rate, HVL, and total filtration. The Piranha will also measure CTDI and give you CT dose profiles. With Pulsed Fluoroscopy you add pulse rate and dose/ pulse. It measures on Cine and Dental, both Panoramic and Intra-Oral, as well as on traditional and slot scanning Mammography.
The Piranha has an extremely sensitive detector, capable of measuring on low-output mini C-arms and Mammography. The Auto-Compensation pioneered by RTI, available on all our existing multi-function meters, corrects for any added filtration. This ensures confidence in the accuracy and reproducibility of measurements without compromise.
The Piranha comes ready-to-use. Everything you need is included. Standard detectors are built-in. Communication is made easy via Bluetooth or USB.
Just connect the Piranha to your laptop and you have a complete QA-system.
The Piranha models are divided into the following main groups:
These features are included/excluded depending on model:
The Piranha with accessories makes the QA service easy and quick. Your investment is protected and the firmware is upgradeable, ensuring that you always have the latest features.
The different Piranha models are designed to be smart in different areas, so you can purchase the model that meets your exact application needs.
Thanks to the variety of tailor made models, the Piranha is user-friendly, small, and comes ready-to-use. Since the Piranha is optimized, your required measurements will be minimized.
The Piranha comes with the oRTIgo-Lite software that lets you capture your data on your PC. The data is instantly displayed and can automatically be entered into your custom Excel® worksheets.
Waveforms can be studied immediately and setup is as simple as placing the Piranha under the X-ray beam, making an exposure, and seeing the results instantaneously. For the advanced user, there is a full database version of oRTIgo as an optional accessory.
The Piranha is able to use a graphical display to
show measured data. Both measured values and
waveforms instantly appear after each exposure.
Up to six measured values and three waveforms
can be shown at the same time for each measurement. The graphical display also provides an
intuitive user-interface that makes it very simple
to setup the meter for different types of measurements. The display connects via Bluetooth.
The Piranha is ideal for measurement
on panoramic (OPG) systems. The small
detector area and the Piranha position
check, a feature that makes it possible
to verify the detector position, ensure
more accurate and more reproducible
results.The OPG holder provides for easy
and precise fixation of the Piranha onto
the panoramic system for accurate and
complete measurements.
A dose probe holder makes the positioning of
the detectors very easy and reproducible.
Makes your Piranha safer and
more practical when you work
in the field. Custom-made
cases are available (picture).
