The FDA has granted Siemens Medical Solutions 510(k) clearance for its Artis zeego, initially launched to the public at the annual meeting of the RSNA in November 2007.

Siemens said that the newest member of the Artis zee family delivers robotic-assisted positioning capability for interventions in both radiology and cardiology, as well as the operating room environment.

Combined with the existing 2D and 3D features and applications common across the entire Artis zee family, the Artis zeego has ergonomically sound working positions due to the system's isocenter, Siemens said.
