C-ARM CONTROLS
The controls listed below are found on either side of the C-Arm control panel assembly
(see Figure 1). A brief description of the function is given. Refer to the Series 9600
Operator’s Guide and Series 9600 Reference Manual for more details.
NORMAL/MAG1/MAG2 - selects the X-ray field size in FLUORO mode:
Normal (approximately 9 inch/23 cm), MAG 1 (approximately 6 inch/15
cm), or MAG 2 (approximately 4 inch/11 cm). In FILM mode, this key has
no action. The field size in FILM mode is always the same as the last
FLUORO field size selected.
L-R - swaps the video images on the left and right monitors. (Allows
storage of up to four images in memory on Surgical Platform models).
SAVE - saves the image on the left monitor to the hard disk. The image
number appears on the right monitor during the save process.
CART (Workstation) MODE - selects the different imaging modes on the
Workstation
BOOST ENABLE - (Option) This key is a safety feature to prevent boost
from being inadvertently activated on the Footswitch or Handswitch. Press
and hold this key for five seconds to enable the BOOST function. The
LED near this key will light to indicate that boost is enabled. Press again
briefly to disable. BOOST cannot be used when the ABS table has been
set for LOW DOSE.
C-ARM MODE - selects either AUTO FLUORO mode (where kV, mA,
and camera gain are controlled automatically for the best video
brightness level), MANUAL FLUORO mode (where kV and mA are
selected manually), or FILM mode.
IMAGE REVERSAL - Image is inverted top to bottom (vertical reverse)
or reversed left to right (horizontal reverse). There are a total of four
possible image orientations. These are indicated by the letter “R” shown
in four orientations. The “R” key sequentially selects each of the four
orientations. The adjacent LEDs indicate the orientation selected.
