Equipment safety

Positioning the C-arm

In case of improper handling of the ARCADIS Varic, the mobility of the C-arm may
lead to collisions of the image intensifier and the single tank with the patient and
the patient table.
If the unit is positioned in an unfavorable way, there can also be a collision
between the image intensifier/single-tank and the unit base. This can cause dam-
age to the respective components.
Make sure the brakes are applied after adjusting the C-arm position.
When moving or transporting the C-arm system please take special care that the
system parts do not collide with an obstacle. This could also result in accidental
radiation release or an impairment of image quality under certain circumstances.
