What Is the Hologic Floppy Disk Drive (110357)?
Product: Hologic Floppy Disk Drive
Part Number: 110357
The Hologic Floppy Disk Drive (110357) is the 3.5″ floppy disk drive used in the Hologic Fluoroscan Premier and Hologic InSight 1 mini C-arms. On these older systems, the floppy drive serves as a data transfer and storage medium — used primarily for loading software updates, transferring system configuration files, and in some workflows exporting patient data or study information to floppy disk for record-keeping. While floppy disk usage has largely been superseded in modern clinical environments, many facilities running legacy Premier and InSight 1 systems still depend on the drive for software maintenance tasks and system servicing. Replacement is indicated when the drive fails to read or write disks, is no longer recognized by the system, or is physically damaged. This is a direct hardware swap with no software configuration required after installation. Compatible with the Hologic Fluoroscan Premier and Hologic InSight 1. Call (800) 643-2998 with your serial number to confirm fit before ordering.

Why does the Fluoroscan Premier still use a floppy disk drive?+
The Fluoroscan Premier and InSight 1 were designed and manufactured before USB flash drives and networked storage became standard in medical devices. The 3.5″ floppy drive was the standard removable storage medium of the era. Many legacy systems in active clinical use still rely on the floppy drive for software maintenance tasks, configuration file transfers, and certain service procedures. Keeping a functioning floppy drive in the system ensures these maintenance workflows remain available for as long as the unit is in service.
What are the signs that the floppy disk drive needs replacement?+
Common signs include the drive failing to read or write disks reliably, disk read/write errors during data transfer or software loading, the drive not being recognized by the system at startup, and physical damage to the drive mechanism or eject button. Floppy disk drives are mechanical components with a finite service life — on aging systems, proactive replacement during scheduled preventive maintenance is recommended even before failure symptoms appear.
