What Is the Hologic Fluoroscan Premier Filament Drive (210263 / 210262)?
Product: Hologic Fluoroscan Premier Filament Drive
Part Number: 210263 / 210262
The Hologic Fluoroscan Premier Filament Drive (210263 / 210262) is the circuit board assembly that controls the filament heating current in the X-ray tube of the Hologic Fluoroscan Premier mini C-arm. In a thermionic X-ray tube, the filament is heated to produce the electron cloud that is accelerated across the tube to generate X-rays. The filament drive regulates the amount of current applied to the filament, which in turn controls the tube's milliampere (mA) output — the quantity of X-ray photons produced per exposure. Precise mA control is essential for consistent image quality and appropriate patient dose management. Failure of the filament drive typically presents as no X-ray output, incorrect or unstable mA readings during exposure, mA-related error codes or fault messages, or erratic image brightness that is not attributable to the kV circuit or image chain. Because this board directly governs X-ray tube output, replacement should be performed by a qualified service engineer followed by post-installation exposure verification and mA calibration before the unit is returned to clinical use. Compatible with the Hologic Fluoroscan Premier only. Call (800) 643-2998 with your serial number to confirm fit and revision before ordering.
Compatible Systems
Parts 210263 and 210262 are revision variants of the same filament drive assembly, specific to the Hologic Fluoroscan Premier only. This part is not compatible with any Hologic InSight model. Because the filament drive directly controls X-ray tube mA output, post-installation exposure verification and mA calibration by a qualified service engineer is required before returning the unit to clinical use. Call (800) 643-2998 with your serial number to confirm fit and revision before ordering.

What does the filament drive do and why does it matter for image quality?+
The filament drive regulates the heating current applied to the X-ray tube filament, which controls the tube's mA output. In fluoroscopic imaging, mA determines the quantity of X-ray photons produced — too low and images are noisy and underexposed; too high and patient dose increases unnecessarily. A correctly functioning filament drive ensures stable, accurate mA output across the tube's operating range, which is fundamental to consistent image quality and appropriate dose management.
What are the symptoms of a failing filament drive on the Fluoroscan Premier?+
Common symptoms include no X-ray output with no kV fault, incorrect or unstable mA readings during exposure, mA-related error codes or fault messages on the display, erratic image brightness that varies between exposures under identical technique settings, and the system failing to complete its exposure sequence. A qualified service engineer should confirm the filament drive as the failure source through systematic diagnostics before ordering a replacement, as similar symptoms can originate from the tube head or XRC board.
