Your OEC C-Arm Laser Aimer Probably Isn't Broken

  
  
  

How to repair OEC C arm Laser AimerI'm going to let you in on a secret most imaging parts companies won't tell you... Your OEC C-Arm laser aimer probably isn't broken!

75% of "broken" laser aiming devices from OEC C-arms only need one "fix"...

BATTERIES.

That's right, there are three double-A batteries in your laser aimer. If you can change the batteries in your six year old child's toy, you can save your facility a few thousand dollars on a laser aimer.

Come to think of it, a six year old can probably fix your laser aiming device! To prove that point, I recruited the help of my daughter... Watch as six year old Madeline fixes a C-Arm laser aimer!

Hopefully Block Imaging has helped you be the hero! If your OEC C-Arm service problem is a little more challenging, let us know and I'm sure we can help. Keep us in mind for all your imaging parts, service and equipment needs!

Is it possible to replace individal AA batteries with a rechargeable battery pack in an OEC 9" laser aimer. Using lithium batteries noe, but would like a dc plug-in power source or a battery pack that can be recharged.

Hi Joe, thank you for your question! Here is the response provided by our Repair Technician...  
 
"The cord for the DC plug-in power source (used during a procedure) would be impractical without tapping into the C-arm’s power, which is a definite no-no (FDA approval required! Not to mention the potential to bring down the arm!). 
 
Rechargeable battery pack: what you really crave is the convenience of recharging NIMH AA batteries without removing them. The hard part, aside from finding an appropriate external charger, would be finding a place for an appropriate DC power jack in the CNC-machined aluminum cavities… 
 
My advice: best to just use rechargeable AA batteries" 
 
Hope this helps... Best of luck to you!
