Toshiba Infinix VC-i
Toshiba · Model Infinix VC-i
• Comprehensive imagingsystem for cardiac and peripheral procedures - The versatile dual-track, ceiling-mounted C-arm of the Infinix VC-i ensures head-to-toe and fingertip-to-fingertip coverage for diagnostic and interventional procedures. Its innovative features help boost room utilization, increase patient throughput and elevate today’s standard of care. • Superior imaging capabilities - The 12" x 16" flat panel detector is designed for low-noise, high-resolution fluoroscopic imaging. With four selectable fields of view, the operator can optimize the view based on anatomical region, and with imaging at up to 30 fps, the optimum fluoroscopic image for interventional exams is achieved.
Key tips
- ·Never bypass a radiation interlock to "just get the image" - this is one of the few true zero-tolerance rules in BMET work.
- ·Trend image-quality phantom results over time - drift shows up before an outright failure does.
- ·Portable/mobile units take real physical abuse from transport - check wheel locks and cable strain reliefs more often than fixed units.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
X-ray tube overheating / filament failure
HighSymptoms: Tube won't fire, heat-capacity alarm.
Root cause: Filament wear, cooling failure.
Detector calibration drift
MediumSymptoms: Image noise, artifacts, low SNR.
Root cause: Flat-panel / sensor aging.
Generator / high-voltage fault
HighSymptoms: Exposure fails, kV/mA out of range error.
Root cause: HV tank or generator board fault.
Recon / system software hang
LowSymptoms: Frozen console, acquisition timeout.
Root cause: Workstation or RAID degradation.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Daily QC per modality: image-quality phantom test
- ·Tube and detector inspection
- ·Annual state-required radiation safety survey
- ·Vendor-scheduled preventive maintenance
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: X-ray tube overheating / filament failure
- Confirm the presentation - typically tube won't fire, heat-capacity alarm - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: filament wear, cooling failure.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the x-ray tube insert per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
