LARGE C-ARM

Below are videos and step-by-step directions on how to setup / troubleshoot the Large C-Arm.

SETUP / HOW-TO

Patient Input

  1. Once the Large C is on and booted up then input:
    • Last Name
    • First Name
    • MRN #
    • Doctor
    • Procedure
  2. Press the image tab on the top of the screen to get ready to take x-rays

Inputing the Procedure is optional but can be useful to have saved if you need to go back to find a case in the future


Saving / Printing Images

  1. After taking an X-ray, press the Save button that is on the Large C-Arm above the keyboard
  2. On right side of the screen, change the TO section to "Onboard Printer"
  3. You can press "Layout" to change how many pictures you can print on one sheet of paper
  4. Select the number of copies that you need as well from this page
  5. Touch the image that you are looking to print and then touch one of the boxes (like a drag-and-drop)
  6. You can do this with as many images you need depending on the layout you have chosen
  7. Press "Print" to send the images to the printer

Searching for Previous Case

  1. Press the "Patient" tab that is up top
  2. Press "Saved Exams" on the right to get to the previous exams
  3. Search through the list of all the previous exams to find the one you are looking for and press the checkbox to select the patient
  4. From here you can open up the patient's case and print or export images as needed

Image Exporting

  1. To Export images to a USB you will plug a USB into the port that is on the Large C-Arm above the keyboard
  2. Select all images you need to save by pressing "Select All" then tapping the images that you do NOT want to save
  3. Send over to the USB by pressing the "Send"

Paper Changing

  1. To change the paper just press the "Open" button that is located on the right side of the printer
  2. The paper cartrige tray will open and you can pull the empty roll out and repalce with the new roll
  3. Pull a little but of the paper out so that it will feed properly. This can be a bit tricky to get into the corect slot so be patient
  4. I usually press the "Feed" button to test the paper feeding prior to printing

Routing to Monitors in the Room

  1. Turn ON the Large C-Arm FIRST without the Display Port cable plugged in
  2. Once the system has booted up, plug the display port cable into the Boom or Wall Aux
  3. This should work and you will be able to then go over to the nurses touchpanel and route either the Boom or Wall Aux to get the monitors up and running with the x-ray
  4. If there are problems: Press "Applications", "Utilities", "Video Output" and then tap one of the boxes to reset and see if that works
