X-ray Exposure Patterns” on page 15.
• Use the Radiation Disable button on the pendant (see page 48), 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 47.
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.
20
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.
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 260 for more information about local skin
dose level.
Use of Images in Image-Guided Treatments
General Information and Safety
Safety
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
are unintentionally rotated or smeared.
Caution: Materials in the x-ray beam, such as parts of the operating table or other accessories, may
have an adverse effect on image quality and increase the dose to the patient. It is important to
ensure that the maximum attenuation equivalent of tables, supports, and other accessories in the
x-ray beam are as low as reasonably achievable. It is recommended that selection of tables and
other accessories to be placed in the X-ray beam be made in consultation with a qualified medical
physicist.

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.
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.
