HIPAA compliance and limited onboard storage are part of the day-to-day reality of using a C-arm. Because of this, one question we get frequently is, "How do I delete the patient data from my C-arm?" We already went ahead and showed how to do this on an OEC 9800 but, to make sure that all you OEC 9900 users are up to speed, we figured we'd lay things out for your equipment as well.

Look below for a pictorial guide to the three easy steps that will clear the patient data from your OEC 9900:

1. Press "Setup" button
2. Press "Security" softkey
3. Press "Delete All" softkey

That's it! Just three buttons to safely eliminate the possibility of a HIPAA violation or to simply free up some memory for another round of patient scans.
