Surgical personnel are at close proximity to the patient during normal operation of the O-arm™ O2 Imaging System. There are three significant zones of occupancy.
14
Occupancy Zones
Figure 2: O-arm™ O2 Imaging System significant zones of occupancy
General Information and Safety
Safety
The primary zones 1 on either side of the patient table 7 are 1 m x 1 m (39 in x 39 in).
The secondary zone 2 occupies most areas outside the primary zone.
The tertiary zones 3 are areas 61 cm (24 in) wide extending away from each end of the IAS at the gantry door end and the cabinet
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
The Patient Spacer” on page 114 for more information about how to use the patient spacer.
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.

Imaging Patients With Electronic Medical Devices

Patients with Electronic Medical Devices
The FDA has reported that x-ray imaging machines can cause adverse effects on patients with implanted electronic medical devices such as:
Pacemakers
Defibrillators
Neurostimulators
Drug Infusion pumps
21
General Information and Safety
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.
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.
