• Cost-effective: As an older model, the 9400 is a budget-friendly option for facilities that need a workhorse machine for common procedures.
• Reliability: Considered a durable, reliable system for general surgical, orthopedic, and pain management applications.
• Good image quality (for its time): While it uses older technology, it provides clear images suitable for many applications. 

• Outdated technology: The analog camera technology results in lower image resolution (512 x 512 pixels) compared to newer models that use CCD cameras.
• Aging system: As an older model, parts may be harder to find, which could affect long-term serviceability and increase the cost of repairs.
• Limited software updates: Compatibility and integration with newer systems or software may be a concern.
