Many electronic components are sensitive to ESD. Circuitry design and structure determine the
degree of sensitivity. The following packaging and grounding precautions are necessary to prevent
damage to electric components and accessories.
• Transport products in static-safe containers, such as tubes, bags, or boxes to avoid hand
contact.
• Protect all electrostatic parts and assemblies with conductive or approved containers or
packaging.
• Keep electrostatic sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free stations.
• Place items on a grounded surface before removing them from their container.
• When handling or touching a sensitive component or assembly, ground yourself by touching
the chassis.
• Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Place reusable electrostatic-sensitive parts from assemblies in protective packaging or
conductive foam.

2.6.1 Security
There are many technologies available to counteract wireless network intrusion, but currently no
method is absolutely secure. The best strategy may be to combine a number of security measures.
There are three steps to take towards securing a wireless network:
• All wireless LAN devices need to be secured
• All users of the wireless network need to be educated in wireless network security
• All wireless networks need to be actively monitored for weaknesses and breaches
Common types of security are:
• WEP - Stands for Wired Equivalency Privacy. This encryption standard was the original
encryption standard for wireless.
• WPA - Wi-Fi Protected Access. It’s an early version of the 802.11i security standard that was
developed by the WiFi Alliance to replace WEP.
• WPA2 - WiFi Alliance branded version of the final 802.11i standard. The primary enhancement
over WPA is the inclusion of the AES-CCMP algorithm as a mandatory feature. Both WPA and
WPA2 support EAP authentication methods using RADIUS servers and preshared key (PSK)
based security.
• LEAP - Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol. This protocol is based on 802.1X and
helps minimize the original security flaws by using WEP and a sophisticated key management
system. This also uses MAC address authentication. LEAP is not safe from crackers. THC-
LeapCracker can be used to break Cisco’s version of LEAP and be used against computers
connected to an access point in the form of a dictionary attack.
Figure 4-6 LEAP + WEP-128 and LEAP + WEP-128 with Key Screens
Note: These steps are only required if LEAP + WPA is the security protocol in use at the facility.
1.) Complete all steps up to the security selection to set up your LEAP + WPA secured connection.
Refer to Figure 4-1 through Figure 4-3, up to "Security."
2.) Select WPA security from the protocol pulldown and select the "Continue" button.
3.) On the next screen (Figure 4-4), select ASCII, press tab on your keyboard.
4.) Depress backspace several times to ensure that the cursor is at the very beginning of the
2.7.1 Overview
What is PNF? PNF is an acronym for Product Network Filter. It is a host based soft-
ware firewall; found on all GEHC Linux Diagnostic Imaging products
since 2005.
Why does PNF exist? It is GEHC's response to customer's need for increased product secu-
rity. PNF secures the product network interface (including remote ser-
vice) and significantly reduce the risk of virus/worm attacks on the
system.
How does it affect me? In most cases, system installation requires no extra effort or actions
by the user. However, custom network environments may require
configuration and require configuration of PNF feature.
2.7.2 Options
PNF is configured using the CSD (Common Service Desktop).
2.7.2.1 Tabs
Named Services
- Turn on common network services (i.e: telnet, ftp…).
- Can allow communication only from specific IP addresses.
- Possible to add multiple IP rules for a single service.
DICOM
* Default opens port 4006.
* Can add multiple DICOM ports.
* Accepts communication from any IP.
Other Services
* Can enable FTP, HTTP, TELNET etc.
Allowed Nodes
* Allows all communication over any port from a specified IP.
* Can have range of IP address like subnets.
Expert
- Custom rules with full control.
- Most likely only used by IT savvy users.
Help
- Provides description of all PNF parameters.
2.7.2.2 Buttons
Firewall (Top Box)
- Turns firewall on and off.
- When the firewall is off, all network traffic in both directions are allowed.
- Must hit “apply” for new state to take effect.
- Used for troubleshooting.
Apply, Save and Restore
- Apply – Saves all current changes to configuration.
- Save Config – Makes a backup of current configuration.
- Restore Config – Restores last backup of configuration.
- Restore Default Config – Goes back to the factory default settings.
2.7.3 Configuration
Note: You should always perform a system reboot following modification of any of the PNF options.
2.8 DICOM
Note: If the Definium AMX 700 system is configured as DHCP, IP address verification needs to be
disabled on the remote host (PACS, Printer, Worklist server) because the IP address of the
Definium AMX 700 system will keep changing so the remote host should not verify the Definium
AMX 700 system's identity based on its IP address. Failure to do so will result in failure of the
Definium AMX 700 system to communicate with the remote hosts.
Also, DICOM Storage Commitment will not work if the Definium AMX 700 system is configured as
DHCP because the remote host does not know which IP address to send the DICOM requests to.

4.5.1 Objectives
• Simplified Procedures – To determine configuration for Burn-on-Send or No-Burn for each
destination host (PACS).
• Results – To record results from Simplified Procedure and Additional Tests.
• Background – To provide further information about Image Display on PACS.
• Additional Tests –To test several Image Display characteristics (Optional).
Note: Monitor calibration is a critical first step before testing and configuring Image Display.
a) Verify that the PACS monitor is calibrated according to DICOM Part 14. Each site is
responsible for providing evidence of PACS monitor calibration.
b) View SMPTE Pattern
I.) Load SMPTE pattern into Patient List by clicking on “Image Tools” then “SMPTE”.
II.) Send SMPTE pattern to PACS review workstation.
III.) Verify that 5% and 95% squares are equally visible on PACS.
c) Record results in the Results Table in Lines #1-2
2) Send PACS Test Images to PACS
3) Suggested Configurations
The following table should be used as a guideline in addition to the tests above to determine
if a PACS system should be configured for Burn-on-Send. This table considers only whether
a PACS supports VOI-LUTs.

Figure 5-17 Results from the Simplified Procedures and Additional Tests
4.5.4.1 Definitions
The following are important terms or concepts
- Window Center (WC): also known as Window Level (WL), controls the brightness of an
image. Typically a lower value gives a brighter image.
- Window Width (WW): controls the contrast of an image. Typically a lower value gives
more contrast.
- Look-up-Table (LUT): a table of input and output values that converts image pixel data
to some new value
- Value-of-Interest Look-up-Table (VOI-LUT): a LUT used in many modalities to convert
image pixel data into values PACS systems can display. This table of input and output
values is stored in the DICOM header as a public field. The VOI-LUT used in DX images
has an “S” shape that mimics the H&D properties of X-ray film. As the user changes WW
The 12 bands on the left side each have a different brightness. The top 6 should appear “dark” and
the bottom 6 “bright”.
Inside each band are 5 small squares with different intensities (like the 5% / 95% squares in a
SMPTE pattern). The squares provide a quantitative way to compare 2 images and report how the
PACS Test Images appear.
Then there are 2 squares in band #4, 3 squares in band #5, …, and 3 squares in band #11. There
are 4 distinct dark bands, and 6 distinct bright bands. This is because the top 3 dark bands are
indistinguishable.
Use the values in the following table to quantitatively compare images. For example, to determine
if a PACS supports GE VOI-LUTs, compare PACS Test Images #1 and #6. If the number of distinct
bands and visible squares are equal, then the PACS correctly supports VOI-LUTs.
Record the results of tests below. Provide a description of the test below the table.
Topics include:
• Send All PACS Test Images.
• DICOM Headers.
• Visible WC and WW Values. Image Saturation.
• Reduced Dynamic Range with Burn-on-Send.
• Interactive Windowing.
• Annotations.
• Multiple VOI-LUTs.

• CR-fallback.
1) Send All PACS Test Images
Send all images to PACS according to the following rules. Send images #1-5 as No-Burn, and
send images #6-8 as Burn-On-Send. Finally, if the site is interested in exploring CR-Fallback
as an option, configured the PACS for CR-fallback with help from the local IT team. Then send
image #9 as No-Burn.
Table 5-2
2) DICOM Headers
a) View Header
* Open the PACS Test Image(s) on the PACS (Patient ID 2000002)
* View the DICOM header information - The DICOM header is often viewable on PACS
through either a menu drop down, a button, or right-clicking the image. Click
something indicating “ information ”, “ i ”, or “ header ”. Contact local IT support for
further information.
b) No-Burn Mode (PACS Test Image #1)
I.) Window Center/Width
> Window Center and Window Width tags are 0028x1050 and 0028x1051
> There should be 3 values separated by a “/”.
> The values should be WC=5226/5226/5226 and WW=2654/1990/3981.
II.) VOI-LUT Tags
> Search the DICOM header for tag 0028x3010 VOILUTSequence.
> Below this tag there should be three items 1, 2, and 3 which each have the
following 3 tags: 0028x3002LUTDescriptor, 0028x3003LUTExplanation, and
0028x3006LUTData.
> Each VOILUTSequence should have a LUTExplanation as either Normal,
Harder, or Softer.
Note: The images appear identically when first viewed. The loss of dynamic range only occurs when the
user changes window-level.
7) Annotation
The Definium AMX 700 system can send two types of annotations: L/R markers or custom text.
Annotations may impact image display on PACS.
a) Open the PACS Test Images #1, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8
b) Check if the display of the images is identical for images #1, 4, and #5
Record results in the Results Table in Line #12
c) Check if the display of the images is identical for images #6, 7, and #8
Record results in the Results Table in Line #13
d) Review the histogram for each image
Annotations may also change what the histogram looks like for each image. The L/R
annotations are burned into the image data, and therefore appear to stretch or compress the
histogram.
8) Multiple VOI-LUTs
As indicated above, the Definium AMX 700 system is capable of sending 3 VOI-LUTs in the
DICOM header. Some PACS recognize these 3 VOI-LUTs and allow the user to change
between each VOI-LUT. The user can change VOI-LUTs on PACS by selecting Normal,
Harder, or Softer options.
a) Open PACS Test Image #3 on PACS to test the Normal/Harder/Softer options on PACS.
Record results in the Results Table in Line #14
Note: The three options on PACS, Normal/Harder/Softer, should not be confused with the same three
options on the Definium AMX 700 system. The three options on the Definium AMX 700 system
changes the values of the WW before the VOI-LUT is calculated and the image is sent to PACS.
The 9 PACS Test Images are not intended to test the three options on the Definium AMX 700
system.
9) CR-Fallback
The Definium AMX 700 system is capable of sending images as CR-modality if the PACS
cannot support or is configured to reject the DX-modality.
CR-Fallback effectively sends all images as Burn-on-Send.
This scenario should only be tested if CR-modality images are required on PACS or if the
PACS does not support DX modality images.
a) Configure the PACS to reject the DX-modality
b) Send the PACS Test Image #9
c) Open the PACS Test Image #9
d) Open the DICOM header for Image #9
* Verify that the VOI-LUT Sequence tag is not present, and
* Verify that the WC=8192/8192/8192 and WW=16383/12288/24575
Record results in the Results Table in Line #15
e) The image should appear visually identical to image #6 if CR-fallback is supported.

To clean the monitor, wipe the monitor screen with a clean cloth moistened with water or with a
towelette designed for cleaning monitors.
Potential for • Do not submerge the Barcode scanner in water. The scanner’s housing is not water-
Equipment tight.
Damage • Do not use abrasive wipes or tissues on the scanner’s window - abrasive wipes may
scratch the window.
• Never use solvents (alcohol or acetone) on the housing or window - solvents may
damage the finish or the window.
Reading performance may degrade if the scanner’s window is not clean. If the window is visibly
dirty, or if the scanner isn’t operating well, clean the window with a soft cloth or facial tissue
dampened with water (or a mild detergent- water solution). If a detergent solution is used, rinse with
a clean tissue dampened with water only.
The scanner’s housing may also be cleaned the same way.
INSTRUCTION: Use a cloth moistened in warm soapy water (use mild soap) to clean the hand
switch.
CAUTION: Never use cleaners or solvents of any kind if you are uncertain of the nature of the
cleaning agent. The hand switch should be cleaned using EPA cleared and EPA registered high-
level disinfecting agents.
Visual check:
- Inspect the cord for nicks, cuts or severe pinching of the cord sheath and inspect the cord
for exposed wires at the RJ 11 connector due to sheath damage. If any of these
conditions are observed, replace the cord.
- Inspect the hand switch for accumulation of dirt, contrast material, damage to the plastic
housing or loosening in the plastic housing.
Functional check:
- Repeatedly press the hand switch buttons (Exposure / Prepare button and Collimator
button) to check that the switch moves smoothly from inactive to active positions.
- Replace the hand switch if the buttons motion is not smooth or buttons getting stuck.

LED will be lit.
FPGA_SAFE DS5 YELLOW If the safe mode FPGA configuration was loaded this
LED will be lit.
FPGA_HB DS3 GREEN This LED blinks indicating that the FPGA is configured.
C-CODE HB DS1 GREEN This LED blinks indicating that the c-code running on
the embedded processsor is running correctly.
X-RAY ON DS13 RED This LED is lit while the X-RAY ON signal is active.
ERROR DS4 RED This LED is lit if the board had detected an error.
TEMP DS2 RED This LED is lit when the board has detected an over
temperature condition.
1V5 DS19 GREEN This LED is lit to indicate the presence of the FPGA
core voltage of 1.5V
LCD_12V DS21 GREEN This LED is lit to indicate the presence of the 12V
output of the PSA that powers the monitor.
IF_24V DS20 GREEN This LED is lit to indicate the presence of the 24V
output of the PSA that powers the PC and the Beetle
board.
LVLE_24V_IF DS22 GREEN This LED is lit to indicate the presence of the 24V
output of the LVLE power supply.
24V0 DS18 GREEN This LED is lit to indicate the presence of 24V on the
Beetle board. If any of the 24V supplies are present
this LED is lit.
1 The 24V available at this pin is taken directly off of the output of the voltage
converters. If there is a very low voltage on this pin, suspect a current overload
condition on the 24V outputs. If the output voltage is 0V, there are many causes
such as converter over-temp, input over-voltage, input under-voltage, converter
failure, etc.
2 The 12V available at this pin is taken directly off of the output of the voltage
converters. If there is a very low voltage on this pin, suspect a current overload
condition on the 12V outputs. If the output voltage is 0V, there are many causes
such as converter over-temp, input over-voltage, input under-voltage, converter
failure, etc.
3 This is taken off of the 24V fed into the Beetle Board. If there is no voltage here,
and the red IF 24V LED is illuminated, the breaker has tripped from an over-current
condition. See #1 for other possible failures.
4 This is taken off of the 24V fed into the PC. If there is no voltage here, the green
24V LED is illuminated and the red PC 24V LED is illuminated, the breaker has
tripped from an over-current condition. See #1 for other possible failures.
5 This is taken off of the 12V fed into the LCD display. If there is no voltage here, the
green 12V LED is illuminated and the red LCD 12V LED is illuminated, the breaker
has tripped from an over-current condition. See #2 for other possible failures.
6 This is taken off of the high voltage DC input to the 12V converter. If there is no
voltage on this pin when proper input voltage is present, the likely cause is the 2A
fuse is blown.
7 This is taken off of the high voltage DC output to the detector power supply. If there
is no voltage on this pin when proper input voltage is present, the likely cause is the
3A fuse is blown.
8 This is taken off of the high voltage DC input to the 24V converter. If there is no
voltage on this pin when proper input voltage is present, the likely cause is the 5A
fuse is blown.

10 This is the same line that the Beetle board gets to know whether or not the AMX
keyswitch is on. This signal is an inversion of the keyswitch, so if the keyswitch is
on, the voltage on this pin should be 0VDC. This is assuming that the AMX LVLE
or the Roadster PSA itself is active and supplying 24V. If the AMX is running
normally with the PC booted into digital mode and the keyswitch is turned off, the
Beetle board should shut down the PC before turning off power. However, if the
Beetle board does not see the keyswitch signal that this line is showing, it will think
the keyswitch is on and not keep the Roadster PSA active while the PC shuts down,
so the Roadster PSA will turn off and not allow the computer to be shut down
properly. If this occurs, check this line to make sure the proper voltage is present
when the keyswitch is on.
11 This is the signal that the Beetle board sends to the Roadster PSA to tell it to stay
alive even if the keyswitch is off. When 24V is present on this line, the Roadster
PSA should be active (assuming the AMX LVLE is working properly)
12 This signal shows the status of the detector park switch. If the detector is parked,
i.e. the switch is on, the voltage will be 24V. If the detector is not parked or the
switch is off, the voltage will be 0V.
