The Department of Biomedical Engineering is pleased to announce the preparation and publication of comprehensive information panels for the Philips BV 300 C-Arm X-ray system, as part of our ongoing efforts to document advanced equipment and enhance technical understanding of its applications in the medical field.<br />The C-Arm system is a vital piece of equipment in operating rooms, and the new panels are designed to document its engineering aspects and maintenance procedures.<br />About the C-Arm X-ray system:<br />• Device name: Philips BV 300 C-Arm X-ray system.<br />• Manufacturer: Philips (Netherlands).<br />• Primary function: The device provides fluoroscopy and real-time X-ray imaging. Its primary function is to guide and support surgical procedures, particularly in orthopedics, surgery, and interventional procedures, by providing continuous, high-quality images.<br />What do the new information panels include?<br />The newly prepared panels focus on the engineering and operational elements that ensure image accuracy, quality, and safety. They include:<br />1. Main Components: Identifying vital components such as the X-ray tube, image intensifier, monitors, and power cables.<br />2. Spare Parts and Accessories: Listing the most important engineering supplies, such as the footswitch, fuses, and printer, as well as software updates.<br />3. Preventive Maintenance Program: Highlighting the periodic maintenance schedule (daily/monthly/annual), starting with a daily inspection, through weekly testing of image quality and cables, and culminating in a full annual preventive maintenance program that includes electrical safety inspection, dose measurement, and image performance testing.<br />We invite all students, engineering, and technical personnel to view these panels to deepen their understanding of this advanced device and its critical role in modern healthcare.
