The use of the HMC 461 CTP lens with a 10mm VCC LED provides for optimal brightness and a wide viewing angle, which makes the lens easily viewed in a bright room. The lens and LED were combined with the CNX 460 LED cable assembly.

VCC’s solution functions as a status indicator for the patient who is being scanned. The patient is instructed to look at the indicator and not to move until the light is off. In Philips’ design stage, it was important to find a lens that was large enough for the patient to easily view, but it also needed to be aesthetic appealing. The HMC 461 CTP met the all of these requirements.
