ARTIS icono biplane Move the C-arms using the Pilot control module In this training, you will learn which functions you can use on the Pilot control module to move the C-arms. Align the position of the Pilot control module with the patient table Angulate both C-arms simultaneously Drive the C-arms to the Home C-arm position Stop in the basic position Use preprogrammed positions on the touchscreen Use the joysticks 1 4 5 6 2 3 Welcome artis_icono_biplane_ve4_move-c-arms_01.mp3 Welcome to the ARTIS icono biplane training: Move the C-arms using the Pilot control module. In this training, you’ll learn which functions you can use on the Pilot control module to move the C-arms. Let’s get started! 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 Position of the Pilot control module (PCM) Orientation key Default position: To the right side of the tabletop At the foot end of the tabletop To the left side of the tabletop At the head end of the tabletop Position of the PCM with respect to the patient table ? Position of the Pilot control module (PCM) artis_icono_biplane_ve4_move-c-arms_02.mp3 You can position the control modules freely in the room. When you change the location, make sure that the system knows on which side of the table the Pilot control module is located. Use the orientation key to let the system know where the Pilot control module is. This way, you make sure that the system movements always match the joystick movements. The blue LED on the Pilot control module shows the current position of the Pilot control module with respect to the patient table. ? When the correct module orientation is set, use the joysticks on the Pilot control module to move the C-arms. This video explains how to move plane A using the left joystick. Select play to start the video. Use the left joystick to move plane A Use the left joystick to move plane A Video 09d_artis_icono_biplane_ve4_vid_sys-mov-left-joystick_en_v1.mp4 In this video you will learn how to adjust the system position for plane A using the left joystick on the Pilot control module, PCM. Plane A (Floor stand) cranial/caudal, LAO/RAO, transverse and longitudinal movements are activated with the left joystick on the Pilot Control Module. To activate cranial/caudal and LAO/RAO movements, press down on the joystick and deflect the joystick in the direction of movement. Press down and deflect the joystick for cranial caudal angulation. Press down and deflect the joystick for LAO and RAO angulation. There are buttons either side of the left joystick. When one of the buttons is pressed, the left joystick activates Plane A (Floor stand) transverse and longitudinal C-arm movements. Press one of the side buttons, press down on the joystick and deflect the joystick to activate Plane A: - Transverse movements - Longitudinal movements Please note: Plane A transverse movements will only be possible when the Plane B (Ceiling stand) is in the parking position. ? Now let’s see how we move plane B using the right joystick. Select play to start the video. Use the right joystick to move plane B Use the right joystick to move plane B Video 09e_artis_icono_biplane_ve4_vid_sys-mov-right-joystick_en_v1.mp4 In this video you will learn how to adjust the system position for plane B (ceiling plane) using the right joystick on the Pilot control module, PCM. Plane B (Ceiling stand) cranial/caudal, LAO/RAO and longitudinal movements are activated with the right joystick on the Pilot Control Module. To activate cranial/caudal and LAO/RAO movements, press down on the joystick and deflect the joystick in the direction of movement. Press down and deflect the joystick for cranial caudal angulation. Press down and deflect the joystick for LAO and RAO angulation. There are buttons either side of the right joystick. When one of the buttons is pressed, the right joystick activates Plane B C-arm longitudinal movements. Press one of the side buttons, press down on the joystick and deflect the joystick to activate Plane B: - Longitudinal movements ? Use preprogrammed positions System positions System positions Anatomical positions Anatomical positions Direct positions Direct positions Access Access Access Select the tabs to learn more about the preprogrammed positions! Use preprogrammed positions Video 09f_artis_ve4_vid_tsc_programmed-pos_en_v1.mp4 You can access the preprogrammed positions mainly from the touchscreen menu. Besides the joysticks, you can use the preprogrammed system positions function to move the C-arms. There are several system position, such as system positions, anatomical positions, and direct positions. Tab 4: Direct positions [not part of this release, HOOD05162002977319] Voice script: vid_ARTIS_icono_VE20_Biplane_store_direct_positions_EN_Final.docx (VE2 video) Direct positions ? For your most frequently used system positions, use Direct positions. You can store up to three frequently used system positions using the touchscreen or the Pilot control module. Watch the video to learn more about it! Anatomical positions Anatomical positions move the system to create the same view for images, for example LAO/RAO cranial/caudal views. All imaging-relevant components including collimator and filters will be positioned in the same relation to the patient. System positions System positions move the system into a predefined position for a clinical procedure (such as right side, head side, patient transfer, parking positions). The positions of the stand/C-arm and table will be restored in absolute room coordinates. ? In certain positions of the stands, it is possible to angulate both C-arms simultaneously. This ensures that the relative position or angle between the C-arms remains constant. Only simultaneous LAO/RAO angulations are possible. Watch the video to learn how you do that with the PCM. Angulate both C-arms simultaneously Angulate both C-arms Video 09a_artis_icono_biplane_ve4_vid_angulating-c-arms-sim_en_v1.mp4 There are three ways to simultaneously move the C-arms using the Pilot control module. First, press one or both side buttons on the stand/C-arm joystick for plane B. Then, push the joystick down and deflect it either towards or away from you. Now, both C-arms are moving simultaneously. The second option is using the Couple C-arm A+B key. Press this key on the Pilot control module. Then, press any stand/C-arm joystick down and deflect it in the direction you need. Now, both C-arms will move together. Our last option is using the touchscreen. Tap C-arm Position > Current Position > Couple C-arm A+B. Now, push any stand/C-arm joystick down and deflect it in your desired direction. ? Stop the C-arms in basic positions Subsequent movements stop automatically when the system reaches the 0° or middle position for: Cranial/caudal angulations LAO/RAO angulations Transverse movements Watch the video to see how this works! Stop the C-arms in basic positions artis_icono_biplane_ve4_move-c-arms_04.mp3 When you use the Stop Zero Position key, subsequent stand movements stop automatically each time the system reaches 0 degrees or the middle position for cranial and caudal, LAO and RAO angulations, and for transversal movements. If you’re angling the floor stand in the LAO/RAO direction, the floor stand stops automatically each time it reaches 90 degrees. Watch the video to see how this works. Video 09c_artis_icono_biplane_ve4_vid_stop-basic-position_en_v1.mp4 Press the Stop 0 degree Position key on the Pilot control module to activate this function. Then, press down the joystick and deflect the joystick to move the system. You can do the same on plane B. Press the Stop 0 degree position key again to deactivate this function. You can also activate this function on the touchscreen. ? Drive the C-arms to the Home C-arm position Only works when the C-arms are above the patient table Drives C-arms to Home C-arm position Watch the video to see how this works! Drive to the Home C-arm position artis_icono_biplane_ve4_move-c-arms_05.mp3 This key works only when the C-arms are above the patient table. It drives the C-arms to the Home C-arm position. Video 09b_artis_icono_biplane_ve4_vid_home-basic-position_en_v1.mp4 Here we have our C-arms above the patient table. When you press the key now, and keep it pressed, the floor stand moves to zero degrees, and the top stand moves to 90 degrees. In this situation here, our C-arms are away from the patient table. When you try to use this key now, nothing happens. ? Course review Congratulations. You have completed the training: Move the C-arms using the Pilot control module for the ARTIS icono biplane.
