What Is the Hologic InSight 1 & 2 “C” Carriage Assembly — Older Style (ASY-00162)?
Product: Hologic InSight 1 & 2 “C” Carriage Assembly — Older Style
Part Number: ASY-00162
The Hologic InSight “C” Carriage Assembly (ASY-00162) is the structural assembly that carries and supports the C-arm on the Hologic InSight 1 and older-style InSight 2 mini C-arms. The carriage is the mechanical framework that holds the C-arm in position, guides its orbital rotation, and transmits positioning forces from the operator controls to the C-arm head and detector. It is one of the most structurally significant assemblies on the unit — wear or damage to the carriage can result in C-arm drift, inability to hold position, rough or binding orbital movement, and instability during imaging. This is the older-style carriage configuration compatible with the InSight 1 and earlier InSight 2 units. Newer InSight 2 units use the updated Deep “C” Carriage Assembly (ASY-04864). Carriage replacement is a major mechanical service procedure. Call (800) 643-2998 with your serial number to confirm which carriage style applies to your unit before ordering.

What are the signs that the C carriage assembly needs replacement?+
Common signs include the C-arm drifting from its set position during imaging, rough or binding movement during orbital rotation, excessive play or looseness in the carriage that affects positioning precision, unusual noise during C-arm movement, and visible physical damage to the carriage frame or bearing surfaces. Any condition that prevents the C-arm from holding its position reliably during fluoroscopy should be evaluated by a qualified service engineer promptly.
How do I know if my InSight 2 uses the older-style carriage (ASY-00162) or the newer Deep C carriage (ASY-04864)?+
The carriage style is determined by the serial number and manufacturing date of your InSight 2. Earlier InSight 2 units use the standard C carriage (
ASY-00162), while later units use the updated Deep “C” configuration (
ASY-04864). Call
