ARTIS icono VE20 System Basics and Safety - USA

Welcome to the ARTIS icono: System Basics and Safety Online Training. This module will introduce you to the basic functions of ARTIS icono systems. In addition, you will learn about some of the safety components of your system. Please note: This online training module should not be seen as a replacement to onsite application training or the safety information outlined in the operating manual.   The ARTIS icono table is designed to allow for CPR with a compression pressure of up to 600 N (60 kg).  In the case that CPR is required, the tabletop: Must not be tilted Must be positioned so that the patient's thorax is positioned over the table column To move the system to the CPR position, press and hold the CPR Assist key on the Pilot control module.   Your ARTIS icono system is equipped with: Many low dose fluoro, roadmap and acquisition programs and low dose syngo DynaCT  Fluoroscopy timer Radiation protection devices   Attaching the lower body radiation protection Attaching the lower body radiation protection Checklist TitleChecklist TypeChecklist ContentPrepare the tableHTML Reposition or remove the control modules if necessary Position the accessory rail Slide the protection on the accessory railHTML Slide the rail of the lower body radiation protection on the accessory rail Align the radiation protectionHTML Align the arrow on the rail of the radiation protection to the end of the accessory rail. Insert the swivel partHTML Insert the swiveling part of the lower body radiation protection so that the bolt slides into the hole and fix it with the knob. Attach the upper shieldingHTML Attach the upper shielding Control modules can now be attached to the accessory rail if necessary   Your ARTIS icono system is equipped with the following safety mechanisms to help prevent unintentional movements and collisions: Emergency stop buttons Dead man's grip (DMG) Collision computer Acoustic signals Speed reduction  Collision sensors    Learn about the collision avoidance computation Learn about the collision avoidance computation Slide NumberText BlocksCalloutsAudio ScriptImage File1The shape of the patient table is virtually extended by a patient and the user defined head holder or head clamp. This sphere helps to avoid collisions. During movement, if the C-arm comes too close to system components or the 'virtual patient' the speed of movements is reduced and an audible sound will be heard. Please note: The system movements will not be stopped. Other extensions to the table are not part of the collision avoidance computation.  The shape of the patient table is virtually extended by a patient and the user defined head holder or head clamp. This sphere helps to avoid collisions. During movement, if the C-arm comes too close to system components or the virtual patient, the speed of movements is reduced and an audible sound will be heard. Please note that the system movements will not be stopped; you still need to take care that no collision will occur. Other extensions to the table, are not part of the collision avoidance computation. 2The following room and system components are included in the calculation of the collision computer: Patient table Stands Floor Walls Ceiling  The following system components are included in the collision computer calculation: the patient table, Stands, the floor, all walls, the ceiling. 3IMPORTANT: Not all components of the exam room are considered in the collision avoidance calculation. Mobile components and external components are not included, for example: Arm boards, armrests and the patient's extremities Mobile equipment Control console trolley Accessory rails and attached items  Ceiling suspensions with displays or other equipment Ceiling mounted devices  It is important to note that not all components of the exam room are considered in the collision avoidance calculation. Mobile components and external components are not included, for example: arm boards, armrests and the patient's extremities, mobile equipment, control console trolley, accessory rails and attached items, ceiling suspensions with displays or other equipment and ceiling mounted devices. 4For some tabletops it is possible to attach individual head holders.  Activate the correct Head Holder before each examination. If the correct Head Holder is not selected, a default Head Holder will be assigned, with a large safety zone.  You select the Head Holder during patient registration.  Select the Head Holder in Procedure Information (if configured) CAUTION: There is a high risk of collision and damage if the incorrect head holder is selected.   For some tabletops it is possible to attach individual head holders. Activate the correct Head Holder before each examination. If the correct Head Holder is not selected, a default Head Holder will be assigned, with a large safety zone. You select the Head Holder during patient registration. Select the Head Holder in Procedure Information (if configured). CAUTION: There is a high risk of collision and damage if the incorrect head holder is selected. Your ARTIS icono system is equipped with emergency stop buttons and emergency shut down buttons. In order to interrupt system movements and X-ray release in emergency situations, you should press the emergency stop button. Emergency stop buttons are located on the front sides of the Table and the Pilot control modules. When pressed, the following system functions are interrupted: System movements are stopped immediately Fluoroscopy and acquisition are stopped   To avoid accidental radiation release, activate Block radiation whenever radiation is not required.  Block radiation can be activated from the control room user interface or from the Pilot control module in the exam room. When enabled, radiation release from the footswitch or hand switch is blocked.  Please note: Block radiation will not interrupt radiation. You cannot use Block radiation in an emergency situation to stop X-ray during release. In this case, you will need to press the emergency stop button.   Learn how to block radiation Learn how to block radiation Tab TitleTextBlock radiation from the exam room Select the Block radiation key on the Pilot control module                                                                               When the indicator is blue, radiation is blocked When the indicator is white, radiation can be released ​Please note: Block radiation and Block movement are automatically activated when driving into the Patient Transfer or Parking Position.
