Hologic Fluoroscan Insight FD Mini C-Arm

0:05 – Hey guys, I'm Christopher Bacon.

0:07 – I'm the founder of OrthoScan and the president of Minicarm.com.

0:11 – Today we want to show you how to basically use the Hologic Insight FD.

0:17 – To start it up, always press the green power button down here next to the DVD drive.

0:22 – Note down here is the USB drive.

0:26 – It’s a little hidden, but we know it's there.

0:28 – While this boots up, I’ll show you a little bit of the articulation of the C-arm.

0:38 – That’s as low as we go — it’s about knee level.

0:43 – And that’s as high as we go.

0:45 – You also get 120 degrees of orbital rotation.

0:50 – That you’ve got here.

0:52 – And this right here is the lock, locked in place so it doesn’t rotate when you don’t want it to.

1:04 – Once we get to this screen, always hit the Add Admin button.

1:09 – It takes a couple of seconds to boot into the application.

1:14 – If it doesn’t, give us a call.

1:15 – Enter last name, first name, and patient ID.

1:18 – So just throw in here Raw Bacon.

1:25 – It’s got a touch screen, which can help you navigate through the boxes.

1:32 – Notice that the Perform light just lit up.

1:33 – Give that a tap and you’re ready to x-ray.

1:37 – Now we’re in the imaging screen.

1:42 – Take our hand phantom.

1:45 – Place it in the field.

1:50 – As you can see, I pressed the foot pedal for approximately one second.

1:55 – Always do that — don’t just tap it.

1:58 – You won’t get the best quality image if you just tap it.

2:02 – Also, in between pressing the button, wait about a second.

2:05 – I’ll show you why here.

2:10 – When this populates, then you can go ahead and initiate another fluoro or another single shot.

2:21 – Make sure the system runs properly and works as expected.

2:27 – Once we’re finished imaging, press the Review button.

2:31 – You can select all and then save.

2:36 – Or you can choose which ones you want by pressing the Control button.

2:42 – Then hit Save.

2:44 – You can also export.

2:47 – If you had a USB plugged in down below, you would see it located here.

2:53 – Just touch it.

2:56 – You can also save to the DVD drive.

2:58 – You can save in TIFF and JPEG formats for your EMR.

3:03 – We’re just going to hit Cancel here.

3:06 – You can also print.

3:10 – As long as at least one image is highlighted, you can print.

3:16 – Once you’re finished, hit End Session.

3:19 – You’re back out to your splash screen.

3:22 – When you want to review cases on the machine, press Review.

3:29 – You can choose multiple cases by hitting the Shift button.

3:33 – Select them and then review.

3:36 – You can review all the images at once.

3:39 – On this machine, you can rotate the flat detector 180 degrees.

3:45 – There are indents, so you feel it when you get to center and at both ends.

3:53 – The nice thing is you can do this while you’re x-raying.

4:05 – To shut the machine down, always shut down from the screen.

4:10 – Please do not use the on/off button.

4:13 – That does not allow Windows to shut down properly.

4:18 – Over time, it will start giving you issues.

4:23 – Once the screen goes black, unplug it from the wall.

4:27 – Try not to keep this plugged in all the time because certain components are constantly powered.

4:33 – That’s an overview of the Hologic Insight FD.
