Additional notes

The Venus hand switch comes as a part of the Radiography System GE Digital Radiography/Fluoroscopy (R&F) system. It is used for imaging method diagnosis using X-Rays. The system works on the principle where high velocity electrons, when interacted with the patientâs body, get their kinetic energy converted into Electromagnetic Radiation. An X-ray tube produces the X-Rays. It contains an anode and a cathode. A detector is used to measure the parameters of X-Rays in digital radiography. It converts X-Rays into light, thus forming images with details. The hand switch is actuated by a person's hand motion. The assembly consists of the harness, switch bezel, retainer, membrane, housing and button, adhesives, double sided foam tape, compression spring, switch actuator and spring locator.
