Fluoro time, kVp, mA/mAs Display
Display fluoro time (min), kVp and mA/mAs values.
Continued using without cooling may damage the X-Ray tube. A warning message will
display on the Workstation if the tube temperature is too high. Although fluoroscopy is not
prevented, you should wait for the tube to cool before making another exposure.

Alarm Reset
The C-Arm counts or accumulates the amount of time that X-Rays are generated when an X-Ray switch is
pressed. The amount of accumulated fluoroscopy time is indicated on the C-Arm control panel.
If pulsed imaging is enabled, the amount of time accumulated depends on the length of time an X-Ray
switch is pressed and the length of the pulses and the number of pulses per second.
System will sound continuous beeps and illuminate the Alarm Reset LED during any exposure after
accumulated fluoroscopy time is 4’30’’.
To silence the alarm and reset the accumulated fluoroscopy time:
Press Alarm Reset briefly to silence the alarm.
Press and hold Alarm Reset for approximately two seconds to reset the accumulated exposure time to zero
and silence the alarm.
In addition, when the continuous fluoroscopy time reaches 9’, system will sound continuous beeps. When
this time reaches 9’30’’, X-Rays will be terminated automatically until the timer is reset.
“Automatic Termination at 9’30’’ in One Shot” could be configured as disable or enable by
GE Healthcare service representative.
Repetitious prolonged exposure could increase radiation and probability of harm to the
patient and operator.
X-Ray Emission Indicator
In the working mode, when the foot/handswitch is activated to take an exposure, the indictor will light.
System sounds discontinuous beeps warning during any exposure.
