CAUTION Potential Pinch Point: The area where the tube connects to the column may create
a pinch point when the tube is rotated. Operators should keep their hands on the
OTS handle and keep patient’s clear while rotating the tube.
Rotate the Multi-Leaf Collimator
1. Move the locking lever on the multi-leaf collimator toward the front panel, i.e. toward you. This
releases the collimator from the 0 lock-in position.
2. Grasp the multi-leaf collimator with both hands.
3. Rotate it to the desired angle and direction.
4. Return the locking lever to its original position. This prevents further rotation.
Note: When the collimator is rotated, the image border is adjusted to the maximum size based on the
selected collimator FOV.
CAUTION Always grasp the multi-leaf collimator in such a way that neither hand can be
pinched or crushed between the handles and the collimator.
