Let’s start! Table with 2 columns and 3 rows Not all pages contain audio. Some pages invite you to read for yourself or watch a video. All pages show a ? button in the lower-right corner. Select the ? button to get a quick guide through the navigation elements. ? Navigation hints Before you start, we would like to give you a few tips on how to navigate: Enjoy the course! ? Navigation hints How the system detects a possible collision Collision sensors Computer calculates possible collisions between: Stands Patient table (virtual patient) Floor Ceiling Walls Head holder Head clamp Violation of defined distances: Movement speed is reduced. System does not stop moving. Collisions can still occur if you do not remove the obstacle or move the system away from it. Click the links for more information about the collision monitoring! ? How the system detects a possible collision [28_artis_ve4_olt_avoid-collisions_en_aud_2.mp3] The system has several collision sensors. Collision sensors are integrated in the flat detector, primary collimator, on the covers of the X-ray tube assembly, on the two switching bars on both sides of the C-arm. Additionally, a sensor detects the lifting of the tabletop. A collision computer continuously monitors the position of all integrated components. The computer calculates possible collisions between the stands, the patient table, the room’s floor, the room’s ceiling and the walls of the room. Additionally, the computer extends the patient table with a virtual patient. It also includes the head holder or head clamp in its calculation, if you’ve selected them during patient registration. When you violate these defined distances, the collision computer reduces the movement speed of the system, and plays a warning sound. However, the system doesn’t stop moving in these situations. Collisions can still occur if you don’t remove the obstacle or move the system away from it. Monitored area around the patient table Here you can see an example of a calculated collision area around the patient. Please note: Depending on the installed type of patient table and configuration, the patient table will be part of the collision monitoring or not. If the patient table is not part of the calculation, the collision computer will not take the patient into account. Include head holders in the collision monitoring For some tabletops, it is possible to attach individual head holders. Select the correct head holder before each examination. If you do not choose a specific head holder, the system will automatically use a default one. The default head holder is set to have the largest possible collision zone. Example for a head holder collision zone (sphere) You select the head holder during the patient registration process. You can also change the headholder during the examination from the control room. Patient Registration window Select the head holder under Procedure Information (if configured). CAUTION: There is a high risk of collision and damage if the incorrect head holder is selected. ? What is NOT monitored Please note: The collision computer does not monitor: Mobile equipment Moveable parts The patient’s actual position Ceiling-mounted devices Such as the exam room displays, surgery lamp Mobile and external equipment Such as control consoles, footswitch, contrast medium injector, instrument trays Items attached to the table Such as arm supports, arm rests, lower body radiation protection, movable accessory rails The actual area in which the patient is positioned Such as projecting extremities What is NOT monitored 28_artis_ve4_olt_avoid-collisions_en_aud_3.wav Please note: The collision computer doesn’t monitor mobile equipment, moveable parts, and the patient’s actual position. Here are a few examples of what is not monitored. ?

Prevent unintentional movements and collisions Select the buttons to learn how the safety mechanism work. Prevent unintentional movements and collisions To prevent unintentional movements and avoid collisions, the ARTIS systems have several safety mechanisms on the control modules. Select the buttons to learn how the safety mechanisms work. Block system movements manually Block system movements To avoid accidental system movements, for example during a patient transfer, when cleaning the system, or anytime when you are not using the system, block system movements. You can block system movements manually by pressing the respective key on the Pilot control module. Watch the video to see how this works. Depending on your configuration, system movements can be blocked automatically when the system is in the patient transfer position. Use the emergency STOP buttons Use the dead man’s grip (DMG) To move the C-arms by using the Pilot control module, you need to press the dead man’s grip down and deflect it. If you release it, the system stops immediately. This video has no sound. ? Course review Congratulations.

Emergency STOP button Dead man’s grip Block system movement key Press this key whenever you want to avoid unintentional movements. Prevent unintentional movements and collisions There are several safety mechanisms to prevent unintentional movements and avoid collisions. Dead man’s grip Emergency STOP button Push any of the emergency STOP buttons to stop system movements immediately. Block system movement key Resume movements when a collision has occurred When a collision occurs, follow the instructions on the exam room display. If there is no other option to move the system, press the collision override key and deflect the stand/C-arm joystick at the same time. Then you can move the system part carefully away. Know what is excluded from the collision monitoring The collision computer does not monitor mobile equipment, moveable parts, and the patient’s actual position. Know what is included in the collision monitoring The ARTIS systems use collision sensors and a computer to monitor and calculate potential collisions with various components and the room's structure. When the computer detects a possible collision, the system emits a warning sound and slows down. However, it does not stop moving. When using head holders or head clamps, make sure to select the correct settings during patient registration. The inclusion of the patient table in collision monitoring depends on its type and configuration. Disclaimer Please note that the learning material is for training purposes only.
