9.3.3 How the Device Functions
Modes AIRO has two main functional modes: Transport mode and Scan mode.
Transport Mode In Transport mode the Ring is aligned with the base
and the entire system is powered from a battery
pack located on the Ring. In this mode AIRO can be driven and positioned by the control Pendant
attached to one side of the Gimbal. Moving AIRO typically requires only a single person even when
taking the system up or down a ramp. Once AIRO has been moved to the desired destination
(storage area or scanning area) it is powered from line power.
Scan Mode In Scan mode, the base is lowered onto the ground b
y retracting the casters in the support base.
The Ring is rotated 90 degrees perpendicular to the base. In Scan mode, all functionality other than
transport is available to the user, such as patient loading, system positioning, image acquisition, and
image processing. The user interface Pendant is used to view and manipulate stored images from
the patient database. Images can be archived to the USB digital storage media or pushed to a PACS
system through DICOM protocol.
Attribute Description
Mobile AIRO is mobile, and its transport is power-assisted.
Large Imaging Bore
The imaging bore accommodates patients in procedure-specific
positions and orientations.
Compact
The bore is aligned with the base for transportation and storage. In
transportation mode, AIRO can move through an average sized
doorway, be transported by elevator, and traverse a 9.5 mm (3/8”)
threshold.
Soft Tissue Imaging
The primary application focus is providing diagnostic-quality
imaging of soft-tissue parts of the human anatomy.
Touchscreen User
Interface
The CT operator enters information, makes selections, and
manipulates the images using a touchscreen interface.
Interchangeable Tables
and Patient Supports
AIRO’s column accepts transportable operating tables and other
patient supports. The list is available from TRUMPF.
Trumpf Wireless Remote
Control
The Trumpf surgical column, table, and motion-enabled patient
support accessories can be controlled either by a keypad on the
column itself or by a Trumpf wireless remote control.
Powered by Wall Outlet
AIRO is powered from an ordinary hospital wall 15 amp outlet
(AC).
Network/Data Couplings There are 4 kV isolators on the Ethernet connection.
DICOM Export Capability
Users may export 2D and 3D images in DICOM format to a
DICOM service class user (SCU) functioning as a PACS server.
External Memory Devices
Users may also export images and patient data to a USB storage
device.
Narrow Ring Width
Designed to be re-positioned such that the surgeon has clear
access to the patient.
