What Is the Hologic InSight FD Collimator Switch (ASY-08070)?
Product: Hologic InSight FD Field Size Switch Assembly — Collimator Switch
Part Number: ASY-08070
The Hologic InSight FD Collimator Switch (ASY-08070) is the field size switch assembly for the Hologic InSight FD and InSight FD Flex mini C-arms. This switch allows the clinician to select between available imaging field sizes by actuating the collimator to the desired position. Because the collimator determines the size of the X-ray beam delivered to the patient, the field size switch is a radiation safety-relevant control — a failed or unresponsive switch can leave the system locked to a single field size or prevent accurate field selection, complicating procedures and potentially impacting dose management. Common failure modes include a switch that no longer responds when pressed, intermittent field size changes, and physical damage to the switch assembly. Collimation verification is required after installation to confirm the radiation field matches the selected size. Compatible with the Hologic InSight FD and InSight FD Flex only — not the InSight 2, InSight 1, or Fluoroscan Premier Encore. Call (800) 643-2998 with your serial number to confirm fit before ordering.

What symptoms indicate a failed collimator switch on the Hologic InSight FD?+
Common indicators include the field size failing to change when the switch is pressed, the system remaining locked to one field size regardless of switch input, intermittent field size changes that work sometimes but not consistently, and physical damage or a switch that feels unresponsive or mechanically stuck. Because field size issues can occasionally result from the collimator mechanism itself rather than the switch, call (800) 643-2998 to describe your fault before ordering so we can help confirm the switch is the likely cause.
Why is collimation verification required after replacing the collimator switch?+
The collimator switch controls the position of the collimator blades that define the radiation field size delivered to the patient. After replacement, collimation verification testing confirms that the radiation field accurately matches each selectable field size within regulatory tolerances — this is required for ALARA compliance and is typically part of annual radiation safety inspections. Our certified field service engineers perform collimation verification as part of the installation process. Call
