C-Arm Subsystem
3. Turn on the Workstation. You should hear a click. The Workstation should boot without making any beeping sounds. Then
turn it off.
4. Plug the interconnect cable into the C-Arm and listen for a click from the internal electronics of the Workstation. This click
signifies that the Workstation is properly connected to the C-Arm and the AC voltage from the wall receptacle is at the proper
voltage.
5. Verify the green “Battery” light on the C-Arm below the keyswitch is turned on about a second after the interconnect cable is
plugged in, occurring at the time of the click in step 4.
6. Turn on the Workstation and verify that all LEDs on the C-Arm control panel come on at one time and the Vacuum
Fluorescent Display illuminates a series of square patterns five at a time until the entire row of squares is ON.
7. Verify that the 20 arrows (>) on the C-Arm Vacuum Fluorescent Display light in succession until all 20 are lit, and then
displays default technique settings 72kVp and 2.3mA. This signifies that the Workstation and C-Arm have successfully
booted (this operation takes from 80 to 120 seconds depending upon configuration). No error messages should appear
during bootup.
Fluoro Mode Performance Check
WARNING: This procedure produces X-rays. Take the appropriate precautions.
1. Boot the system as directed in the Boot Test section above, in this manual (if not already done).
2. Position the C-arm so that the X-ray head is directly above the image intensifier.
3. Place a suitable test object on the face of the image intensifier tube.
4. Set a technique of 72kVp/2mA.
5. Press the X-ray on switch. Verify that a digitized fluoro image of the object appears on the left monitor and that it remains
there after the exposure is terminated.
6. Select AUTO mode is selected. Verify that the LED next to the AUTO key turns on.
7. Press the X-ray on switch. Verify that a digitized fluoro image of the object appears on the left monitor and that it remains
there after the exposure is terminated. Inspect image for acceptable image quality.
