What Is the Hologic InSight FD Tube Head (HVPS)?
Product: Hologic InSight FD Tube Head (HVPS)
Part Numbers: ASY-08339 | ASY-05008
Manufacturer Part Number: 5973-8000
Model Number: PXS11-100-35
The Hologic InSight FD Tube Head (HVPS) is the x-ray tube and high-voltage power supply assembly mounted in the C-arm head of the Hologic InSight FD Mini C-Arm. Also referenced as the Source Assembly, it is the primary radiation-generating component of the system. When the foot switch is pressed, the HVPS energizes the x-ray tube to produce the fluoroscopic beam that passes through the patient and is captured by the flat-panel detector. A failing tube head typically causes no x-ray output when the foot switch is pressed, x-ray error codes on the display, audible arcing during an exposure attempt, or inconsistent kV/mA output resulting in degraded image quality. Because tube head failure symptoms overlap with other x-ray faults — including the Bungee Board — proper diagnosis before ordering this high-value assembly is strongly recommended.

What does the InSight FD tube head (HVPS) do?+
The tube head contains the x-ray tube and the high-voltage power supply (HVPS) that energizes it. When the foot switch is pressed, the HVPS delivers kilovoltage to the tube, which generates the x-ray beam used to produce fluoroscopic images on the flat-panel detector. It is the primary radiation-generating component of the InSight FD — without it, no imaging is possible.
What are the symptoms of a failing tube head?+
Common failure signs include no x-ray output when the foot switch is pressed, x-ray error codes on the display, audible arcing or clicking during an exposure attempt, or inconsistent kV/mA causing degraded image quality. Note that the InSight FD Bungee Board can cause similar symptoms — call us at (800) 643-2998 for a diagnostic consultation before ordering this high-value assembly.
Is this the same part as the InSight FD Source Assembly?+
Yes — the Tube Head (HVPS) and the
Source Assembly refer to the same physical component. Both share the part numbers ASY-08339 and ASY-05008 and the manufacturer part number 5973-8000. The naming difference reflects how Hologic references the assembly in different documentation contexts.
What does sold on exchange mean?+
Exchange means you return your defective core unit when you receive the replacement. This helps keep costs down and ensures defective units are properly refurbished. Our team will provide return instructions with your order.
Does tube head replacement require a service engineer?+
Yes. Tube head replacement involves high-voltage components and requires radiation safety verification after installation. We strongly recommend using a certified FSE. Our nationwide team is available — call
