— 6 min read — By Medilab Parts Team
A surgical C-Arm is one of the hardest-working pieces of imaging equipment in any hospital — often running 6–10 hours per day across orthopedic, vascular, and pain management procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a C-Arm receive preventive maintenance?
Most C-Arms require PM every 6–12 months depending on utilization. High-volume surgical suites running 10+ cases per day should schedule PM every 6 months.
What are the most commonly replaced C-Arm parts?
The most frequently replaced components include X-ray tubes, image intensifiers or flat panel detectors, high-voltage cables, and monitor display units.
Can I use refurbished OEC parts on my OEC 9900?
Yes — OEC 9900 parts from the same hardware revision are interchangeable. Always confirm the hardware revision and software version of your system before ordering.
