1.5.2. Explosion
The system is not designed for use in an explosive atmosphere (e.g. flammable anesthetics
WARNING mixture with air or oxygen or nitrous oxide), otherwise there may be possible risk of fire/
explosion.
If an abnormal condition occurs, such as the room fills with flammable gas, steps must be taken to prevent
the gas from coming in contact with the equipment. If so, follow these guidelines:
- Do not turn the system off or unplug it from the AC receptacle.
- Do not operate any other electrically powered equipment.
- Evacuate all personnel from the area and ventilate with fresh air. Avoid operating any automated
(electrically operated) doors or windows.
- Contact your local fire department as soon as possible.
Page 1-7
Introduction and Safety
Unplug the power cord from the AC receptacle. Press the emergency switch.
Evacuate personnel from the area.
Only use a fire extinguisher that is approved for use on electrical fires.
Call your local fire department for help if necessary.
Page 1-8
OEC One Mobile C-arm X-ray Product
The use of the wrong type of fire extinguisher presents electrical shock and burn hazards.
WARNING To avoid these hazards, a fire extinguisher, which meets applicable regulations and
standards, must be available in the room where the equipment is being used.
This equipment either produces or is used in the vicinity of ionizing radiation. Risks and
WARNING dangers are inherent in the operation of this equipment. This equipment should only be
used by personnel properly trained and authorized in the use of ionizing radiation.
Observe proper safety practices during operation.
The owner must designate areas suitable for safe operation and service of the equipment and ensure use
only in those areas.
The owner must ensure that all personnel wear appropriate protective clothing and radiation monitoring
devices while using the equipment or working in the area around the equipment.
The owner must remain alert for visual indicators and audible alarms that are activated when ionizing
radiation is being produced by equipment in the work area.
The owner must set proper Dose Warning Threshold: For each exam, the operator can select a Cumulative
Air Kerma from 100-2200 mGy in 100 mGy steps (10-220 Rad in 10 Rad steps). If the threshold is reached, a
distinctive beeping sound will alert the operator.
Emergency switch is provided on the system to stop X-rays immediately if needed. This red switch is
located on the top cover. Reset the emergency switch after ensuring that no hazard exists.
The owner is responsible for obtaining any needed state/local licensing requirement for X-ray systems;
establishment of a radiation worker safety program; operator training; ensuring only qualified personnel
are authorized to operate the system; accreditation; and performance of preventative maintenance and
quality control to ensure the system continues to function within specification.

OEC One Mobile C-arm X-ray Product
Biological effects of any radiation should be divided into low and high levels. During most procedures, the effects of patient irradiation are low.
High levels of radiation directed at the same patient skin area for a prolonged period of time may cause deterministic effect. To minimize this risk
without adversely affecting the clinical objectives of the procedure, it is currently admitted that precautions should be taken when skin dose in a
certain location can exceed 1 Gy.
GE Healthcare equipment includes dose limitation mechanisms. In particular, the conventional entrance skin dose rate is maintained below 100
mGy/min, or at a lower level depending on local regulation, in a plane representative of patient skin dose, and positioned across the Patient
Entrance Reference Point. Therefore, in this plane, the value of 1 Gy may be reached in an accumulative exposure time of 10 minutes or more of
fluoroscopy.
In configurations required for some specific surgical examinations, patient skin could be significantly closer to the X-ray source, with dose rate
increased as the inverse square of the distance.
In case of long procedures and/or when X-ray is focused on a single location, use reduced dose techniques in order to reduce risk
CAUTION of patient injury due to ionizing radiation.
If clinically possible, avoid long exposures to help prevent radiation overexposure hazards.
Keep the radiation field as small as possible without reducing the active imaging field.
Fluoroscopy and digital spot involve the use of ionizing radiation and, therefore, x-ray is relatively contraindicated in pregnant
NOTE women due to potential harmful effects on a developing fetus. As in any medically justified clinical intervention, the potential risks
to any patient population and age must outweigh the intended benefits.
Page 1-11
Introduction and Safety
Selection of the patient entrance reference point is based on international convention and typical usage of a multi-use mobile
NOTE
fluoroscopy system. This point should represent a typical intersection of patient surface on the X-ray beam axis.

precautions. These checks should be performed as often as equipment is in use and circumstances
warrant. The frequency of performance checks should be increased when the system is used extensively. In
addition, circumstances such as accidents during transport or exposure to excessive fluids may warrant
that performance checks be performed to verify operation of the equipment.
In addition to performance checks, safe cleaning practices are included in addition to a description of
periodic maintenance that should be performed. All periodic maintenance should be performed by a GE
Healthcare authorized service engineer.
The system has an expected service life of 10 years. Periodic maintenance of the system is required to
maintain the system lifecycle. The first periodic maintenance shall be implemented after one year of use.
Then it is suggested to do once per year by a GE Healthcare authorized service engineer.

Chapter 16. Privacy and Security
Privacy and Security
The following information provides a comprehensive overview of the cyber security considerations for the
OEC One software. Cyber security includes the core concerns of Privacy and Security. Privacy is the property
of protecting the personal private interests of patients. Security protects both the product and the
information from risks to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Network Connectivity
Network connection for OEC One is required by below system feature:
• DICOM connectivity to other DICOM devices
Network Interconnections
The OEC One network interconnections diagram is shown in Figure below. Being a standalone medical
device, it does not require network connectivity for clinical use. The OEC One does support wired and
wireless Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) communications to improve the
workflow and connectivity.
Page 16-2
OEC One Mobile C-Arm X-Ray Product
Access Controls
The access control features may be used to help control access to sensitive information.
Access control includes user account creation and multi-level authentication.
Password Authentication
The OEC One automatically boots to run the clinical application as a single user. In emergency and trauma
environments, clinical and patient needs often outweigh the advantages of providing user authentication.
Therefore, the system may be configured by the user with or without a password depending on preference
and clinical use.
All passwords entered the OEC One are displayed as asterisks, mitigating the risk of unauthorized users
copying passwords. If a password is entered incorrectly the user is not authenticated and the system will not
perform any clinical imaging functions. The system is initially configured with a default administrator account
and password to login into to the clinical application. It is recommended that the customer change the
default OEC One Administrator’s password upon installation and create new user account with password.
The customer password can be changed any time based on the customer’s security policies (e.g. passwords
changed annually). Passwords are case sensitive with a minimum length of 4 characters and a maximum of
10. To reset user account and password, an administrator account is required to login the clinical application.
To reset the administrator password, service users are required to login to the system with elevated
privileges.
Multi-Level Authentication
This access control system provides multi-level system permissions based on user type. Each level of access
is authenticated using a unique password entered system in service mode. Multi-leveled user roles limit the
ability of general medical staff to tamper with or accidently misconfigure the system. Higher level access
roles should be restricted by the customer through control of passwords to ensure only trained and trusted
staffs have access to these roles. It should be noted that the OEC One does not support remote login for these
users.
Page 16-3
Privacy and Security
Service Access
Service Access provides the service engineer with access to the system, including modification the system
configuration.
Audit Logging
Privacy and Security audit logging supports security surveillance and Privacy investigations and reporting.
The system provides integrated functionality for audit logging, including audit logging of privacy related
events. The audit log functionality includes the ability to export the logged events from the system.
Network Security
GE strongly recommends that medical information systems are operated in a secure network environment
that is protected from unauthorized intrusion. There are many effective techniques for isolating and
protecting medical information systems, including implementing firewall protection, demilitarized zones
(DMZs), Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) and network enclaves.
For example, a best practice is to place firewalls between departments, as well as at a DMZ (Demilitarized
Zone) between all extranets, and the external internet access point. In this example, a radiology firewall may
allow DICOM and HL7 protocol traffic through, but no other protocols. These DICOM and HL7 protocols would
be blocked at the DMZ and again at the internet firewall.
Although the OEC One is a standalone system that does not require any network connections to operate
network, security is vital to continued safe and effective operation of the system. The OEC One uses a
defense-in-depth approach protecting the system from unauthorized access via the network. This layered
approach leverages network isolation, software segregation, and wireless security controls.
All unnecessary network related services are disabled or removed when OEC One installed. For example, The
OEC One does not support remote service connections. Additionally, the OEC One restrict the embedded web
browsers to browse any external web sites and it does not allow any browsers to be installed. These
applications are often the source of cyber threats.
Page 16-4
OEC One Mobile C-Arm X-Ray Product
To assist in secure network design, the following network profile outlines the required network services for
the system.
OEC One is supported with internal firewalls. The following sections describe configuration of the firewalls,
and guidance for configuring the IT infrastructure where it is connected.
Page 16-5
Privacy and Security
USB Storage
Data stored on USB media is stored unencrypted. While the user has the option when exporting data to de-
identify the data, if the exported data is not de-identified the data could contain personal information (PI).
The USB storage devices and the content on them must be handled according to applicable regulations and
guidelines for handling personal information (PI) / protected health information (PHI).
Page 16-6
OEC One Mobile C-Arm X-Ray Product
Stored Data
Data stored on the system computer is stored unencrypted on the systems file system. This includes patient
information in the database, images, raw data and audit log.
The data stored on the system computer should be secured to prevent unintended access to personal
information (PI) / protected health information (PHI) being part of this data.
De-Identification Capabilities
The system contains de-identification (anonymization and pseudonymization) capabilities to limit privacy and
security risks to sensitive information. De-identification is done by clearing or overwriting all information in
the image containing PI / PHI. When creating a problem report, the option may be selected.
Business Continuity
To ensure business continuity, several options must be considered related to data storage.
The target for the images and patient archive must be chosen to ensure safe storage of the data. Both
internal and external alternatives are supported.
Page 16-7
Privacy and Security
System Security
The GE Healthcare OEC One contains additional features to improve local operational security.
Page 16-8
OEC One Mobile C-Arm X-Ray Product
Screen Saver
The system has a configurable screen saver feature. It can be configured to enter the screen saver after a
predefined time. When enter screen saver, no patient information is visible on the screen. The screen saver
will exit by any operation of user. To minimize impact of clinical operation, no password is required to exit

be subtracted could cause a poor image. Registration allows you to move the mask image to produce an
accurate registration by realigning the mask and the images that need to be subtracted. You can realign
the mask during the procedure, or during playback if the images are saved.
Landmarking
A-31
Operator Manual Supplement
In some subtracted images, it is necessary to see the position of vessels in relation to certain background
anatomies. Landmarking allows you to vary the percentage of background anatomy that displays in a
subtracted image. This function is available for subtraction and roadmap imaging.
The mask is adjusted incrementally with pressing of the landmarking button. The percentage of
background anatomy can be quickly varied by dragging the slider on the progress bar.
Review options can also be operated on the techview tablet (control panel).
If the View Subtracted button is highlighted, the cine run displays in subtracted form.
To view the run in unsubtracted form, Press View Subtracted again. The button is no longer highlighted and
the cine run displays unsubtracted.
The displayed image should not have any contrast material in it prior to selecting Set Mask
NOTE
or vessel visualization will be lost.
1. Display the run to use as the mask on the left side of the monitor.
The fluoro or HLF cine run displays as a subtraction on the left side of the monitor. Use the cine playback
buttons to review the run.
