GE OEC 6800 Mini C‑Arm

The GE OEC 6800 is a portable multi-specialty mini C-arm built around 1k x 1k, 16-bit image processing and a 6-inch image intensifier, producing high-resolution fluoroscopic images with the depth and contrast needed for orthopedic, pain management, and vascular procedures. Dual 16-inch touchscreen monitors display live and reference images simultaneously, and real-time motion artifact and noise reduction keeps image quality consistent during dynamic acquisitions. A 115-degree rotation range, bilateral tube head controls, and a compact footprint give clinical teams precise positioning across diverse case types without requiring a fixed imaging suite. Although production of the OEC 6800 ended in 2006, the system remains in active clinical service nationwide. For practices that own an OEC 6800 or need a certified-refurbished replacement unit, Minicarm.com is the primary independent source for parts, service, and refurbished systems.

Minicarm.com provides certified-refurbished GE OEC 6800 units, OEM parts, and nationwide on-site service from factory-trained technicians.

Available for sale, lease, or rent nationwide.

Key Features and Benefits of the GE OEC 6800

Feature

Benefit

Feature

1k x 1k, 16-Bit Image Processing

Benefit

1,024 x 1,024 pixel resolution combined with 16-bit depth captures a wider range of tissue densities in a single acquisition than standard 8-bit systems. The additional bit depth preserves fine structural detail in bone cortex, hardware margins, and soft-tissue boundaries, reducing the need for repeat exposures to visualize subtle findings.

Feature

Dual 16-Inch Touchscreen Monitors

Benefit

Two large touchscreen displays allow simultaneous presentation of the live fluoroscopic image and a held reference frame. Clinical teams compare real-time and prior views without toggling between screens, supporting faster intraoperative decision-making. Touchscreen controls reduce reliance on a separate keyboard during sterile procedures.

Feature

Real-Time Motion Artifact and Noise Reduction

Benefit

On-board processing suppresses motion-induced blur and electronic noise during active fluoroscopy. For procedures involving patient movement or dynamic joint assessment, this feature maintains image clarity frame to frame without post-acquisition processing delays.

Feature

115-Degree Rotation Range

Benefit

A 115-degree C-arm rotation arc covers a broader range of imaging angles than standard mini C-arm systems, supporting lateral, oblique, and cross-table views without repositioning the patient. The extended rotation range is particularly useful for vascular procedures and complex orthopedic cases requiring multiple viewing planes.

Feature

Bilateral Tube Head Controls

Benefit

Tube head controls accessible from both sides of the C-arm allow the operating clinician or assistant to adjust imaging parameters and positioning without moving around the system. Bilateral access reduces workflow interruptions during procedures where table positioning limits access to one side.

Feature

Last Image Hold

Benefit

The system retains the most recent fluoroscopic frame on screen after the foot pedal is released, allowing the clinical team to review the exposure without generating an additional radiation event. Useful during hardware placement confirmation, injection verification, and closed reduction checks.

Feature

Fluoroscopy, Radiography, and Vascular Imaging Modes

Benefit

Three distinct imaging modes adapt the OEC 6800 to a wider clinical scope than extremity-only systems. Vascular mode supports contrast-enhanced vessel visualization for peripheral vascular procedures and interventional pain management requiring vascular anatomical reference, extending the system’s utility beyond standard orthopedic and extremity applications.

Clinical Applications for the GE OEC 6800

The GE OEC 6800 is suited for multi-specialty facilities and surgery centers that need a single portable fluoroscopy system across orthopedic, interventional, and vascular procedure types. Common applications include:

Orthopedic surgery: joint visualization, fracture reduction, implant positioning, and hardware placement confirmation
Pain management procedures: needle guidance for epidural injections, nerve blocks, joint injections, and facet procedures
Vascular imaging: peripheral vessel visualization and contrast-enhanced fluoroscopy for interventional procedures
Hand and wrist imaging: fracture evaluation and hardware placement in extremity procedures
Foot and ankle surgery: plate and screw positioning and post-operative alignment confirmation
Emergency care: closed reduction confirmation and rapid fracture assessment at the bedside
Ambulatory surgery centers: high-resolution multi-specialty imaging without a fixed fluoroscopy suite

Service and Support for the GE OEC 6800

GE HealthCare no longer provides direct manufacturer support for the OEC 6800, and the system’s 1k x 1k image intensifier, dual touchscreen electronics, and vascular imaging capability require technicians with hands-on OEC 6800 experience to service correctly. . Minicarm.com is the primary independent source for OEC 6800 refurbishment, OEM parts, and nationwide on-site service. 85% of issues are resolved through our 24/7 phone and video support line. When on-site service is needed, certified factory-trained technicians respond within 24 to 48 hours in most U.S. metro areas.

Certified Refurbishment Process

Every GE OEC 6800 sold by Minicarm.com goes through a certified refurbishment performed by factory-trained technicians. The process covers image-intensifier calibration, touchscreen monitor function, motion artifact and noise reduction system verification, C-arm mechanical and rotation integrity, thermal printer operation, electrical safety, software verification, and full cosmetic restoration.

Warranty and Service Contracts

Standard refurbished sales include a 12-month parts and labor warranty. Extended service contracts (24, 36, and 60 months) are available with options for on-site response, loaner equipment during repair, and annual preventive maintenance.

In-Service and Training

In-person or virtual training is available to help your team use the OEC 6800’s imaging modes, bilateral controls, and touchscreen interface effectively across your full procedure mix.

OEM Parts Availability

Minicarm.com maintains an independent inventory of OEM GE OEC 6800 parts, including image intensifier components, touchscreen monitor assemblies, C-arm mechanical components, and imaging electronics. Parts ship overnight to minimize downtime for active clinical systems.
