Introduction to the DRX-Revolution Mobile X-ray System

Overview of the System The DRX-Revolution System Mobile X-ray system is designed specifically for Digital Radiography (DR) with the CARESTREAM DRX-1 System detector, or with other wireless flat-panel detectors. The DRX-Revolution incorporates the tools required for acquiring medical diagnostic images outside of a standard X-ray room. The DRX-Revolution is an all inclusive mobile X-ray system, providing: • A high power 32 kW generator • State-of-the-art drive system for movement and maneuverability • User-friendly X-ray tube positioning in five axes of motion • The industry's first telescoping column for better visibility while driving • Storage for detectors and supplies • Carestream's proven user interface and image processing tools

Description

The compact size of the DRX-Revolution allows patient treatment in many areas of a hospital including the operating room, emergency department, and intensive care units. It moves on many kinds of surfaces and can fit in elevators and maneuver in close proximity to a patient from many angles. Its collapsible column allows visibility while it is being driven down busy hospital corridors. The cart moves so a technologist can walk behind it, steering and controlling its speed while traveling from one location to another. Software is accessed from a primary monitor on the cart and a secondary monitor on the tube head.

Features

The DRX-Revolution allows radiographic exams of patients who cannot be transported to an X-ray room. The tube head assembly can be moved in any direction: horizontal, vertical, tilted, angulated, and rotated. It has storage space for equipment and supplies. An optional barcode scanner provides quick identification of patient wristbands, forms, and orders. All of these hardware features and options are described in this guide.

Component Descriptions Components are listed alphabetically. Component

Description

Battery storage and charging

The cart provides storage and charging space for two DRX batteries.

Bins

Storage bins are located in the back of the cart. See Detector.

Boom

The boom is an extendable, horizontal arm that holds the tube head assembly, two boom handles, and the boom dock tube.

Brakes

See: Bumper, Column, Drive handle, E-Stop.

Bumper

The bumper on the front of cart is touch sensitive. Forward motion is prevented when the bumper touches an obstacle. Reverse drive the cart to release the bumper brake.

Cart

The cart exterior includes a drive handle, detector, storage bins, prep/expose switch, wheels, bumper, LEDs and other light indicators, primary touchscreen monitor, boom dock receiver, proximity badge reader, and barcode reader. The cart has a zero degree pivoting radius. Inside, the cart contains batteries, a generator, circuitry, and motors.

Collimator

The collimator includes an LED that creates a light field, which represents the area on the patient to be X-rayed, two control knobs to operate the horizontal and vertical shutter openings, and a collimator brake release.

Column

The column is an extendable, motor-assisted, vertical component that lifts and lowers the boom. The column rotates right or left on a turntable 270 ° in each direction. To release the brake and raise the column or extend the boom, grip either or both of the collimator handles, or either boom handle, press and hold the button on the back of the handle(s), and lift or pull.

Connectors
