5 end, and a height of 200 cm from the floor.
Zone Occupancy During Fluoroscopic Procedures
Personnel may occupy any of the zones when fluoroscopic procedures are performed, but should position themselves so that no part of their body is struck by the primary X-ray beam, unless that body part is protected by 0.5 mm lead equivalent. Additionally, all personnel in the room must wear protective garments of not less than 0.25 mm lead equivalent for protection from scattered radiation.
During 2-D imaging, when the x-ray tube, indicated by the short row of lights in the gantry light
ring, is lateral to the patient, personnel should occupy the primary zone
During 3-D mode imaging with the tube rotating in the gantry, personnel should occupy the
tertiary zones

Radiation Safety

Operating Precautions
Warning: The O-arm™ O2 Imaging System produces ionizing radiation. Follow these safety
practices during its operation. Misuse of the system could harm the patient or operator.
Warning: Irradiation at high dose rates may interfere with pacemakers or other medical devices if
the device is within the x-ray beam.
Use the equipment only in areas designated for its use.
Have all personnel wear appropriate protective clothing and radiation monitoring devices while
using the equipment.
Refer to the isokerma maps to view the typical x-ray exposure patterns that occur during imaging
sessions. For details on these maps, see “
Be aware of visible and audible alerts that indicate when ionizing radiation is being produced by
equipment in the work area.
Use the supplied patient spacer to ensure the patient is a safe distance from the x-ray tube. See
General Information and Safety
Safety
X-ray Exposure Patterns” on page 16.
The Patient Spacer” on page 118 for more information about how to use the patient spacer.
Use the Radiation Disable button on the pendant (see page 52), or the Emergency Stop button
on either the Image Acquisition System (IAS) power control panel or pendant whenever the system is not being moved or actively used to image anatomy. See the “ Reset Buttons” on page 51.
Emergency Stop and
General Exposure Precautions
X-rays are potentially hazardous. Take every precaution to reduce the radiation dose that patients receive. In particular:
During x-ray examination of pregnant women, take precautions to protect the embryo or fetus.
Shield sensitive body organs, such as the eye or gonads.
Follow safe operating procedures to avoid chronic radiation injury to users.
Caution: If using a contrast agent, follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully to ensure highest
possible image quality and to avoid having to retake images.
Avoid Prolonged Exposure
Avoid excessive exposure, which can cause acute skin burns or hair loss in patients.
Avoid prolonged exposure. The O-arm™ O2 Imaging System is not intended for prolonged
radioscopically guided procedures, such as cardiac catheterization.
Source-to-Skin Distance
Before initiating fluoroscopy, make sure there is a minimum of 13 cm distance between the patient and gantry cover on the x-ray source side; this ensures that there is at least 30 cm between the patient and x-ray source.
21
General Information and Safety
Safety
Warning: Exposure increases as the patient is positioned closer to the X-ray source. Failure to
maintain the minimum source-skin distance may result in increased radiation exposure to the patient.
See also, “Maximum Permitted Exposure Rates” on page 283 for more information about local skin dose level.

Use of Images in Image-Guided Treatments

Images acquired on the O-arm™ O2 Imaging System may be used for image-guided surgery. When using O-arm
Establish landmarks on the patient’s anatomy that you can use to verify the accuracy of the
positions displayed in images.
Use these landmarks to verify the correct orientation of the images and the accuracy of the
system during navigation.
Verify that the line-of sight between the tracker and tracking instrument remains clear and free of
obstruction.
Warning: Frequently confirm navigational accuracy and system responsiveness during live
navigation. Use the probe to touch bony anatomical landmarks and confirm that the locations identified on the images match the locations touched on the patient. Failure to verify the landmark locations on the image match the landmark locations on the patient may result in inaccurate navigation. If accuracy degrades, re-register the patient.
Warning: Abort usage of the O-arm

General Information and Safety
Precautions During Imaging
Before taking images or beginning a scan, the operator should use scout views to determine if implanted or externally worn electronic medical devices are present and if so, their location relative to the programmed scan range.
For procedures in which the medical device is in or immediately adjacent to the programmed scan range, the operator should:
Determine the device type
If practical, try to move external devices out of the scan range
Ask patients with neurostimulators to shut off their devices temporarily while the scan is
performed
Minimize x-ray exposure to an implanted or externally worn electronic medical device by:
– Using the lowest possible x-ray tube current consistent with obtaining the required image
quality
– Making sure that the x-ray beam does not dwell over the device for more than a few seconds
Warning: For procedures that require continuous scanning over an electronic medical device for
more than a few seconds, attending staff should be ready to take emergency measures to treat adverse reactions if they occur.
Safety
Post-imaging
After scanning directly over the implanted or externally worn electronic medical device:
Have the patient turn the device back on if it was turned off prior to imaging.
Have the patient check the device for proper functioning, even if the device was turned off.
Advise patients to contact their health care provider as soon as possible if they suspect their
device is not functioning properly after imaging.

System Overview
Introduction to the System

Acquisition Modes

Overview
The O-arm™ O2 Imaging System has four main acquisition modes that produce ultra-high resolution images:
2D Fluoroscopy Mode (2D)
Multi-plane 2D Fluoroscopy Mode (M-2D)
2D Long Film Scan (2D) (Optional)
3D Mode (3D)
To activate any of these acquisition modes, use the handswitch or footswitch (see page 53). If you transfer between acquisition modes (e.g. 2D to 3D), wait at least one second before pressing and holding the footswitch pedal to acquire the images in the new selected mode.
When not acquiring images, you can use the system to set up patient exam information, review and annotate patient images, and export patient data.

2D Modes

Dose Reporting
Dose Reporting tracks patient exposure to radiation generated by the O-arm™ O2 Imaging System. For more information, see “
Dose Reporting” on page 196.
2D Fluoroscopy Mode
This acquisition mode (also referred to as 2D mode) uses pulsed x-rays at up to 30 frames per second to produce high resolution, real-time images. To select either standard fluoroscopy or high level fluoroscopy (HLF), use either the handswitch or footswitch. To select low level fluoroscopy (LLF), first press the Low Level softkey on the pendant and then press the left footswitch pedal or top handswitch button. Standard fluoroscopy is the default selection.
A Last Image Hold (LIH) in 2D mode leaves the last live image of the pulsed sequence on the MVS screen once scanning is completed or the user discontinues scanning. To get a stable 2D image, wait at least 2 seconds. The last image can be saved and recalled at a later time for review.
These image processing functions are available in the 2D mode in both the live fluoroscopic mode and LIH:
Edge enhancement
38
Rotation/mirroring
Contrast/brightness
Video invert
Refer to “Using the 2D Mode” on page 153 for a detailed description of operating this mode.
System Overview
Introduction to the System
Low Level Fluoroscopy (LLF) Mode
Low level fluoroscopy (LLF) provides reduced dose imaging in the 2D Fluoroscopy mode. This lower level of radiation, approximately half the dose, is achieved by changing the pulse rate from 30 per second to 15 per second.
LLF achieves lower dose by decreasing the frame rate per second from 30 to 15, and therefore the temporal resolution will be less in low level mode.
Multi-plane 2D Fluoroscopy Mode
In this acquisition mode, you can acquire a set of 2D fluoroscopy images, either standard or high level fluoroscopy (HLF), at previously stored gantry positions.
You can store up to four separate gantry positions and their associated settings for later call-up. You can set a fifth preset ‘Park’ position for the gantry away from the surgeon’s area. Refer to “ Positions and Acquisition Settings” on page 163 for a detailed description on the use of these buttons.
All the image processing functions available in the standard 2D mode are also available in this mode.
Storing

2D Long Film Mode (Optional)

The 2D Long Film mode provides functionality for acquiring an intraoperative linear X-ray scan. In this mode, the O-arm during acquisition between the positions stored in memory presets 1 and 2. For details, see “ 2D Long Film Mode (Optional)” on page 168.
O2 Imaging System scans while the gantry moves along the left/right axis

3D Modes

Overview
In 3D acquisition modes, the O-arm™ IAS creates a series of pulsed x-ray exposures throughout a complete 360-degree rotation of the gantry rotor. The rotor spins at 30 at 30 frames per second, and captures approximately 391 projections. The system stores these exposures and uses a reconstruction algorithm to develop a 3-dimensional volume representative of the patient’s anatomy from them. The image is displayed on the MVS monitor screen as a high resolution display in the axial, coronal, and sagittal planes.
The reconstructed volume used by the reconstruction algorithm is a cylinder with different diameters for each field of view setting:
For 20 cm field of view, the cylinder has a diameter of 212 ± 1 mm and a length of 160 ± 1 mm.
For 40 cm field of view, the cylinder has a diameter of 397 ± 1 mm and a length of 160 ± 1 mm.
Using
° per second, acquires images
The voxel resolution is 512 x 512 x 192
Additional Imaging Modes for 3D
In addition to standard 3D mode, the O-arm™ O2 Imaging System has four different modes for acquiring 3D images:
39
System Overview
Introduction to the System
Low Dose 3D Mode
Low Dose 3D mode is designed to provide an additional preset setting for standard 3D acquisitions with a lower overall dose reduction of at least 35% from the standard acquisition protocols, for cranial and spinal applications. The rotor spins at 30 and captures approximately 391 projections. For more information see “ page 180.
High Definition 3D (HD3D) (Optional)
High Definition 3D (HD3D) mode provides improved image quality over that of regular 3D. The rotor spins at 15 approximately 745 projections.
Enhanced Cranial 3D Mode (Optional)
Enhanced Cranial 3D mode enables you to take images of higher quality than those acquired in regular 3D mode. It has the same spin velocity and frame rate as HD3D mode, but uses different kVp and mA settings and a different reconstruction algorithm. It is designed for cranial images only. See “
Stereotaxy 3D Mode (Optional)
° per second, acquires images at 30 frames per second,
Low Dose 3D Mode” on
°per second, acquires images at a rate of 30 frames per second, and captures
Dose Settings for Head” on page 186.
Stereotaxy mode supports high definition 3D (HD3D) volumetric imaging of high contrast landmarks of stereotactic localizers for cranial procedures. For instructions, see “ Scans” on page 188.

Optional 3D Features

Multiple Field of Views
The O-arm™ O2 Imaging System supports 3D volumetric imaging in 20 cm and 40 cm field of views. The 40 cm field of view improves visualization for large anatomical regions, and supports imaging high contrast landmarks of stereotactic localizers in Stereotaxy mode. For details on using this feature, see “
Oblique Slicing in 3D
This feature allows you to make adjustments to images taken in 3D mode if the patient’s body and the imaging axes are slightly misaligned. Adjustments can be made to the axial, coronal, and sagittal views. Refer to “
Storing Collimator Positions in 3D
In normal 3D mode, the collimator is wide open and not adjustable. This feature allows you to adjust the Collimator and store that Collimator position in memory to be used later. This is useful when you want to isolate a small specific area of interest in the anatomy. It also reduces the amount of scatter in the room and radiation exposure to the patient. Refer to “ page 183.

The pulse rate for both standard fluoroscopy and HLF is 30 pulses/second.
The pulse rate for LLF is 15 pulses/second.
Continuous HLF time is limited to 30 seconds. Once that time is reached, the x-ray exposure
automatically stops.
Pulsed Exposure
Pulsed exposure is used for 2D Long Film and 3D imaging to reduce motion blur and is produced by reducing the x-ray pulse width and increasing the exposure.
The pulse rate for pulsed exposures is 30 pulses/second.
The acquisition time is limited to 13 seconds per single 3D scan, and 26 seconds for HD3D, Enhanced Cranial, 40 cm FOV, and Stereotaxy single panel scans. Once that time is reached, the x-ray exposure automatically stops.

5 Setup in the Operating Room

This chapter describes the procedures to set up the O-arm™ O2 Imaging System in the operating room.

Moving the System

Moving the IAS

Safety Precautions
Due to its mass, the IAS has battery-powered drive wheels to assist in its movement and positioning.
Warning: The Image Acquisition System (IAS) weighs approximately 885kg (1,950 lbs). Move the
IAS slowly using the battery-powered drive wheels. Do not disengage the drive wheel during transport, especially on an incline. Use special care when crossing thresholds and moving up or down ramps. Be aware of all obstacles and people along the path. Collision with people or physical objects can result in personal injury or equipment damage.
Warning: The gantry must be in the docked position before you move the Image Acquisition System
(IAS). Use special care on steep slopes (>5º) and when crossing ramps and thresholds.
Using The Transport Handle
Figure 57: Transport handle control (IAS stand, partial top view)
The Transport Handle 1 on the IAS cabinet has a control bar 2 that you squeeze to apply power to the rear wheels of the IAS.
93
Setup in the Operating Room

Powering Up the System

To move the IAS, squeeze the control bar and then push or pull the transport handle. When you release the bar, the wheels stop moving. Always stop movement before you release the bar.
Squeezing the control bar and pushing on the handle moves the IAS forward.
Squeezing the control bar and pulling on the handle moves the IAS backward.
Turning the IAS to the Left or Right
By applying differential pressure to either side of the handle, you can steer the IAS left or right.
Squeeze the bar and push the left side of the handle without applying pressure to the right side. Squeeze the bar and push the right side of the handle without applying pressure to the left side.

Moving the MVS

Warning: The Mobile View Station (MVS) weighs approximately 159 kg (350 lbs). Use two people
to move the MVS up or down an incline. Never attempt to move the MVS up or down steps or stairs.
1. Push up the wheel brake release bars to unlock the wheel brakes.
2. Grasp the handle on either side of the MVS and carefully maneuver it to its destination.
3. Press down on the wheel brakes to lock the wheels once the MVS is in its final location.
Powering Up the System
For the IAS and the MVS to function as a system, they must be physically connected to one another via the MVS interconnect cable. This cable supplies power to the IAS and allows signal and data transfers between the two units.

Connecting the IAS and MVS and Powering Up the System

1. Plug one end of the MVS interconnect cable into the J2 port on the IAS connector panel, as shown in Figure
2. Plug the MVS power cable into a suitable wall outlet – one that is properly grounded and matches the power rating listed on the MVS label.
Note: The MVS interconnect cable can be connected and disconnected regardless of whether the
line voltage is applied to the MVS.
3. Turn the key switch on the IAS connector panel counter-clockwise to the Enable position.
14 on page 46.
94
4. On the IAS power control panel, press the Power button to turn on the IAS. When the IAS is
turned on, the button will illuminate blue.
Setup in the Operating Room
Powering Up the System
5. On the MVS Power Control Panel, press the Power button. When the system turns on, the
button will illuminate blue.
The system takes about three minutes to boot up and run through its power on self-test. During the initializing period, the pendant display looks like that shown in Figure
Figure 58: Startup progress display
58.
Once the system successfully completes the self-test, it is ready for use.
Note: If any warning or failure messages appear on the MVS display or the pendant screen, contact
Medtronic Technical Service referred to on page 10.
Locating Home Position
The issue described here is not normal operation; it should arise only if there is a problem.
Upon startup, you may need to reset the gantry home position, which is the “zero” position of each of the three [x, y, z] axes. In this case the pendant displays the following message: To calibrate motion, hold [M] button on the pendant. Press door icon to open door.
Press and hold the [M] button on the pendant until the gantry’s motion ceases and the system assumes its 2D fluoroscopic default mode.
If the IAS is not connected to the MVS, the pendant displays a message that the IAS is in Standalone Mode discussed on page 35.
Connecting the Footswitch
The attending surgical team may choose whether or not to use the footswitch.
To connect the footswitch, remove it from the holder and plug it into its receptacle at the IAS connector panel, as referred to in Figure
14 on page 46.
When not in use, store the footswitch in the holder located on the bottom left side of the MVS.
95
Setup in the Operating Room
Powering Up the System
Connecting a Second Monitor
A second monitor using a DVI port can be connected to the MVS for remote viewing of the same display appearing on the MVS primary monitor. Ensure the second monitor is the same resolution as the primary monitor (2560 x 1600 pixels). Connect this second monitor into the MVS Connector panel using the appropriate cable type and jack. See Figure
Warning: The use of accessory equipment not complying with the equivalent safety requirements of
this equipment may lead to a reduced level of safety of the resulting system. Consideration relating to the choice shall include: a) Use of the accessory in the patient vicinity; and b) Evidence that the safety certification of the accessory has been performed in accordance with IEC 60601­1 and/or the appropriate accessory requirements for that type of device, e.g. IEC 60950-1 for IT Equipment.
Warning: When this device is connected with other electrical equipment, leakage currents may be
additive. To minimize total leakage current per patient, ensure that all systems are installed according to the requirements of IEC 60601-1.
Note: The second monitor display does not update the image at the same frame rate as the main

Unpacking and Activating the Mouse

Overview
Medtronic Navigation supplies a sterile customized wireless mouse for use in the OR. It is designed for single use, to be disposed of at the completion of the surgical procedure. Reuse could pose a risk of infection to the patient.
The wireless mouse is sterilized using ethylene oxide. Do not attempt to re-sterilize the mouse. Multiple sterilization cycles could result in damage to the circuitry or leave unacceptable levels of ethylene oxide residue.
Warning: The wireless mouse is supplied in its packaging as a single-use sterile device. Be sure the
sterilization barrier and packaging are not compromised. Do not use the device if the package is damaged. Do not resterilize.
Before the mouse can be used, it must be removed from its sterile package and activated so that the

Warning: Once you have removed the mouse from the sealed bag, do not take the mouse out of the
sterile field. If the mouse is removed from the sterile field, it will be contaminated, and must not re-enter the sterile field.
Proper Disposal
The wireless mouse is considered medical waste. After use, dispose of it in accordance with all local regulations. Reuse of the wireless mouse could pose a risk of infection to the patient.
Unpacking the Mouse and Maintaining Sterility
The wireless mouse (BI-900-00048), is supplied sterile in a sealed polyurethane bag. Use standard operating room sterile field procedures to remove the mouse from the bag once the sterile field has been created.
The activation procedure for the mouse requires two people: one sterile person holding the mouse within the sterile field and a second person outside the sterile field at the MVS.
