OEC 9900 Hardware and Software Options

Just like the 9800 before it, the OEC 9900 is a C-arm that comes with a variety of hardware configurations and software packages. If you're not sure whether the 9900 would be a good fit for the specialties you plan to practice at your facility, take a look at the list below to see if there's a hardware and software pairing that will work together to meet your needs.

OEC 9900 Configurations

The Cost Differential

Now that you've seen the combinations there are to choose from, you're probably wondering what the price difference is between a more basic setup like a standard C with a 9" II and GSP software versus something more feature-rich like a cardiac Super C. Excellent question!

OEC 9900 C-arms on the secondary market average between $70,000 - $90,000 depending on the hardware/software combination and the age of the particular system you're looking at.

 If the 9900 has the options that you want, but sits outside your current budget, most of the same hardware/software pairings are available for its predecessor, the OEC 9800. You can click here to see the full list
