Quick answer: The Ziehm Solo is a compact single-unit C-Arm built for rooms where a conventional two-cart system will not fit comfortably. Generator, workstation and C-arm are integrated into one mobile unit. Refurbished Solo systems typically run $45,000 to $65,000 and suit outpatient surgical clinics and pain management practices with tight floor plans.
Ziehm Solo C-Arm Overview
Most full-size C-Arms are two pieces: the C-arm itself and a separate monitor cart you have to position and cable. The Solo collapses that into a single unit. In a room that is already crowded with anaesthesia, instrument tables and staff, removing a second cart changes how the room actually works.
The tradeoff is screen real estate. A dedicated monitor cart gives you larger displays positioned wherever the surgeon wants them. The Solo trades some of that for footprint. Whether that is the right trade depends entirely on your room, which is why we ask for dimensions before recommending it.

Who the Ziehm Solo Is For
Outpatient surgical clinics and pain management practices working in converted or compact rooms are the primary buyers. If you have measured your room and a conventional C-Arm plus monitor cart does not leave working space around the table, the Solo solves that.
Mobile providers also favour integrated units because there is one thing to load rather than two. If floor space is not a constraint for you, a Ziehm Quantum or OEC 9800 gives you more display flexibility for similar money.
Refurbishment and Support
Every Ziehm Solo we sell is inspected, refurbished, calibrated and phantom tested at our Orlando facility. On an integrated unit we pay particular attention to the mechanical drives and cabling, since everything lives in one chassis and serviceability depends on those components being right before it ships.
We support you from site planning through shipping, installation and technical servicing. Warranties and financing are available on every system we sell. Keep your costs down and imaging capabilities high with Amber Diagnostics.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much floor space does a Ziehm Solo need?
Less than a conventional C-Arm plus separate monitor cart, but the exact clearance you need depends on your table position and the projections you take. Send us your room dimensions and table model and we will confirm whether the Solo works in your space before you order. This is a five minute conversation that prevents an expensive mistake.
Does a compact C-Arm mean reduced imaging capability?
Not inherently. The Solo uses the same Ziehm generator and image intensifier technology as their conventional platforms, so imaging performance is comparable. What you give up is display flexibility, since the monitors are integrated rather than on a separately positionable cart. Image quality is not the compromise, ergonomics is.
Is the Ziehm Solo suitable for spinal work?
For routine spinal injections and pain management, yes. For complex spinal surgery where you need large monitors positioned precisely for the surgeon and sustained high output, a conventional platform with a dedicated monitor cart is the better choice. Tell us your case mix and we will be straight with you about it.
