FX-7
Basic Information -
Species: Droid
Manufacturer: MedTech
Type: Medical Assistant
Affiliation: Rebel Alliance
The sturdy FX-7 medical assistant droid aids both live and droid doctors in medical procedures. The FX-7 is a cylindrical droid, with a number of retractable appendages. Since replaced with Industrial Automaton's Emdee series of medical assistant droids, the FX-7 model is an antiquated holdover used in several Alliance installations. Developed by the now-defunct Medtech Industries, the FX series (nicknamed the "Fixit" series) comprised nine model lines, filling numerous roles. The FX-7 has a wide array of sophisticated appendages arranged around its cylindrical body. The number of arms varied throughout the line, but 20 appendages was the norm. Because medical needs varied from sector to sector, Medtech specifically designed the appendages and storage slots to be modular. The FX-7's cap-like head is a cluster of sophisticated medical sensors and diagnostic equipment. The standard FX-7 lacks a vocodor, but has an expansion slot that allows for the addition of one. In lieu of vocal communication, the FX-7 has readout screens and a scomp link for direct access to medical computers or other droids. Like many medical droids, the FX-7 lacks mobility. It is designed to be posted in a specific medical station, and kept in one location for the duration of its service. An optional repulsorcart, which was also manufactured by Medtech, allows the droid to be carried from place to place.
