TECHNICAL MANUAL
Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION
G
NOTE:
The present manual is updated for the product it is sold with in order to
grant an adequate reference in performing diagnostics and repair
operation normally carried out by the service engineer.
The manual may not reflect changes to the product not impacting service
operations.
G
NOTE:
The operating instructions are contained in the manuals of the
equipment associated with the IB SYSTEM, because the IB SYSTEM itself
does not incorporate any commands that can be used by the operator.
A brief overview of the available commands is given in paragraph 8.1.
The Image Intensifier + TV Chain (i.e. IB SYSTEM) is an apparatus for

conducting radiological examinations by fluoroscopy (or radioscopy).
Fluoroscopy is a special radiological technique which provides a real-time
view of the organs being examined, typically on a television monitor.
Fluoroscopy utilises very low currents (from 0.1 to 5 mA) with prolonged
exposure times (up to a few minutes). As a consequence, with fluoroscopy
there is an image visible on the monitor for the entire duration of the
X-ray exposure, thereby making it possible to view dynamic phenomena
such as heart beats or catheter insertions.
Through a feedback circuit based on the brightness of the image acquired
by the camera, the system generates a control signal which, when
connected to the generator, permits automatic adjustment of the kV as a
function of the radio-opacity of the organ in question. This function can
be disabled by means of a special control (situated on the radiological
table console), to allow for manual kV adjustment in special cases.
In a slightly different configuration, the Image Intensifier can also be

used for digital examination procedures (also known as fluorography), in
which the image acquired by the camera is transmitted to a computer for
processing and storage. This technique makes it is possible to perform
digital subtraction angiography, a method used for vascular
examinations with contrast medium. Unlike fluoroscopy, the doses used
are comparable to (though lower than) those of conventional radiography,
that is to say the radiation is emitted in the form of brief high-current
flashes. What’s more, the image resolution is much better because a
1024x1024 pixel matrix is used, rather than the 512x512 (or 576x576) of
standard radioscopy.

TECHNICAL MANUAL
Introduction
The equipment must be used according to the procedures set out in this
manual, and must never be used for any purposes other than those
specified in the manual.
The equipment must be operated by qualified personnel with the
necessary knowledge of radiation safety procedures.
The user is responsible for compliance with the statutory regulations

concerning the installation and operation of radiological systems.
The manufacturer shall not be held responsible for any breakage, injuries
or malfunctions resulting from improper use of the equipment, or from
failure to perform the prescribed maintenance.
The IB SYSTEM is a medical electrical device, and as such may only be
used under the direct supervision of a doctor or highly qualified
technician, with the necessary knowledge of radiation safety procedures.
This manual is intended to provide authorised technicians with the
instructions for correctly installing and servicing the equipment.
1.1 Icons appearing in the manual
G
THIS ICON INDICATE A NOTE; please read thoroughly the items
marked by this picture.
THIS ICON INDICATE A WARNING; the items marked by this icon refer
to the safety aspects of the patient and/or of the operator.
IB SYSTEM 2 (Rev. 7)
TECHNICAL MANUAL
Safety aspects
2. SAFETY ASPECTS
The I.I. (Image Intensifier) essentially consists of a glass vacuum tube
(similar to the tube of a television set) protected against mechanical
damage by a metal enclosure designated the envelope.
The larger-diameter face is designated as the entrance window and is

protected by a thin (0.5 mm) aluminium sheet. The entrance window is
protected for transport with a plastic plate secured by 4 nylon screws.
This plate should be removed only when the unit is installed on the
radiological table, as instructed in paragraph 5.2.
The smaller-diameter face at the rear is designated the output surface.

At the centre of the output surface is the output window, a round glass
area 25-30mm in diameter and yellow/green in colour.
The camera is installed on the output window. If the camera needs to be
removed for maintenance, proceed as described in paragraph 9.1 taking
care not to soil or damage the output window.
On the side of the I.I. there is a square enclosure which houses the
HV (high voltage) power supply. This power supply receives a 24Vdc
input and generates the working voltages for the I.I. which are in the
order of 30kV.
G
NOTE:
Installation of the IB SYSTEM an a VSM radiological remote or tilting
table has been designed in such a way to grant maximum protection
against X-ray radiation. Manuals of the radiological tables indicate areas
of exposure and typical doses delivered in those areas during operation.
TECHNICAL MANUAL
Safety aspects
2.1 Risks associated with the installation, maintenance and

use of the equipment
WARNING:
When handling the I.I., always be aware of the following risks:
• Implosion risks: if dropped or subjected to excessive stress, the I.I.
tube may break, ejecting potentially toxic gases, dust and pieces of
glass. The entrance window and the output window are particularly
vulnerable areas which must therefore be handled with great care.
• High voltages: the HV power supply board includes voltages as high
as 30kV (30,000 Volts). Do not touch any part of the power supply
with bare hands or with metal objects to avoid the risk of electrical
shock. Note that these voltages persist for a few dozen seconds after
the power supply has been disconnected. There are no power on
indicators on the I.I. or on the HV power supply board. Therefore,
before attempting any operations on the I.I., always make sure that
the power cable has been physically disconnected.
The above considerations also apply to the monitor. In this case, the
delicate part is the tube. Some parts with dangerous voltages are
accessible through the rear cover plate, which must be removed for
connecting the cables.
• X Rays: certain maintenance operations require the performance of an
X-ray exposure. Although the I.I. envelope is sufficiently shielded with
lead, the service technician must in any case take every precaution to
minimise his exposure to radiation.
A malfunction of the automatic kV control circuit, with excessive or

insufficient kV output for the organ being examined, will result in a
displayed image that is either too bright or too dark. This type of fault is
readily detectable by the operator.
VILLA SISTEMI MEDICALI has designed and constructed the equipment
to comply with all the safety requirements; the company also supplies all
the necessary information for the correct use of the equipment, and the
hazard warnings pertaining to X-ray generators.
Villa Sistemi Medicali shall not be held responsible for:
• use of the IB SYSTEM apparatus for purposes other than the intended
purposes described in this manual
• damage to the equipment, operator or patient resulting from incorrect
installation or failure to service the equipment as instructed in the
accompanying manuals, or resulting from improper use of the
equipment
• damage resulting from mechanical and/or electrical modifications
made either during installation or subsequently, and which differ from
the settings described in the service manual.

The equipment must be installed well away from sources of heat. In
particular, before normal operation, check that the monitor is not
positioned near heat sources and that the ventilation openings are not
obstructed by foreign objects, as this may result in a harmful increase of
the internal temperature.
During normal operation, position the monitor so as to avoid accidental
knocks against surrounding equipment and/or accessories.
When performing radiological examinations, no persons other than the
patient and the operator should be present in the room; make use of the
radiation protection facilities present in the radiographic room.

• tilting table (Vision and Viromatic):
orient the tube and HV power supply toward the BACK END of the
table
If the image is vertically or horizontally (mirror) inverted, the
orientation can be modified as follows:
• Apollo, Mercury, Symphony and Vision:
set the inversion value in the corresponding software fields.
Consult the service manual of the radiological table for details
• Viromatic:
modify the keypad connections by moving the wire from contact 4
to contact 2 on buttons S2 (horizontal) and/or S3 (vertical). See
also drawing #14 of chapter 13 (code 39169015).
4. Position the connecting cables, running them inside the table to
reach the component board

NOTE:
The jumpers X12, X13, X14, X15, X16, X17, X18 are set in position
1-2 (TH) when a Thomson or Toshiba I.I. is installed in the system.
The jumpers X12, X13, X14, X15, X16, X17, X18 are set in position
2-3 (PH) when a Philips I.I. is installed in the system.
The jumpers X12, X13, X14, X15, X16, X17, X18 are factory adjusted.
The power supply for the IB SYSTEM is generally taken from the
radiological table and must be brought to terminal block X0 as follows:
Terminal Connection
X0.1 Live
X0.2 Neutral
X0.3 Functional ground
The protective ground must be connected from the ground bolt on the
component plate to the main ground node on the remote controlled or
tilting table.
TECHNICAL MANUAL
Assembly
Ground terminal X0.3 is a functional ground node, not a safety ground,

and must be connected to the ground bolt on the plate or, in the case of a
three-core power supply cable, directly to the ground conductor of the
cable.
In the case of direct supply from the electricity mains, it is essential to

protect the equipment with a 250Vac, 4A automatic circuit breaker.
Switch S1 on circuit board A1 is for utility functions only, and should
always be in the “ON” position during normal operation.
The protective ground connection must be made on the ground bolt
situated on the component board and identified by the symbol.
Connect the bolt to the ground bar of the radiological table using a
yellow/green conductor with a minimum cross section of 4 mm2.
WARNING:
The equipment is factory set to operate with a mains voltage of 230Vac.
Before suppling the system check the mains voltage. If it is different from
the voltage set, it can be adapted by changing the connection of
transformer T1 on the component plate:
Mains voltage T1 primary T1 secondary
220 Vac 220 26
230 Vac 230 26
240 Vac 230 24
6.1.1 Checking the output voltages
To check the power supply voltage to the I.I. and the CCU, disconnect the
terminals X3 and X6 and measure the voltage without load.
On both X3, pin 4 (positive) and pin 5 (negative), and X6, pin 1 (positive)
and pin 2 (negative), the voltage read must be 24Vdc ± 0.2V for N23 TV
chain and 26Vdc± 0.2V for N33 TV chain.
If necessary, adjust these voltages by acting on trimmer R8 for the output

voltage of connector X3 (I.I. power supply) and on trimmer R10 for the
output voltage of connector X6 (CCU power supply).

NOTE:
The functioning principle of the I.I. zoom signals is the following:
If none of ZOOM 1, ZOOM 2, ZOOM 3 signal is active (at +24Vdc or 0Vdc
in according with the Image Intensifier in use), the bigger field is set in
the I.I.. If ZOOM 1 is active, the first zoom is active, and so on (e.g. for a
12" I.I., signal ZOOM 1 selects the 9" field and signal ZOOM 2 selects the
6" field). Signal ZOOM 3 is used only for the 4 field I.I.'s.

7.1.2 Connection of VARIAC Module with I.I. system and with

conventional generators
If the equipment needs to be interfaced with a conventional generator, a

special variac module is required to provide the generator with the
automatic kV control voltage.
The components of the variac module are housed in an enclosure which

has the same dimensions as the component plate. The positioning of this
module will depend on the type of accessories used in the radiological
system.
The connections to be made on the variac module are the following:

In order to check the correctness of the connections, carry out the

following functional test:
1. After completing the connections as shown above, check the voltage

at terminals X8.7 e X8.6. If the measured voltage is higher than
230V, set the primary of transformer T2 to 380V. If the measured
voltage is lower than 230V, the primary of transformer T2 must be
set to the terminals 0-230V.
G
NOTE:
For safety reasons, the factory setting of transformer T2 is 380V. This will
avoid possible damages to the components in case of wrong setting.
TECHNICAL MANUAL
2. Enable the kV/mA automatic adjustment. Check that increasing the

kV value also the mA value will increase. If the system behaves in the
opposite way (increasing the kV value, the mA value decreases),
reverse the connection on the primary of transformer T2 (the wire
connected to terminal “0V” will be connected to the terminal “230V”
or “380V”; the wire connected to the terminal “230V” or “380V” will
be connected to the terminal “0V”)
3. Set the kV to the minimum value and check that the mA will not
exceed the value 0.5mA. If not, modify the connection on the
secondary of transformer T2 until obtaining the desired value of mA
(increasing the voltage connection, the mA will decrease).

8.1 Description of the controls
The controls for operating the IB SYSTEM are not situated on the IB
SYSTEM itself, but rather in different positions depending on the type of
table. The controls are situated on the control console in the case of
remote controlled tables, and on the serial changer in the case of tilting
tables.
Further details on the positions of the controls can therefore be found in
the documentation supplied with the radiological table.
All the controls are identified by means of standard symbols, in
accordance with the IEC regulations. The following table summarises the
function and position of each control, together with the corresponding

8.2 Functional checks
After completing the installation, check the correct operation of:

• last image hold (if necessary, check the connections)
• vertical and horizontal inversion (if necessary, check the connections)
• remote monitor brightness and contrast adjustment (if necessary,
check the connections)
• I.I. zoom (if necessary, check the connections)
• image orientation (if necessary, proceed as described in paragraph
9.1.2)
• recursive filter (if necessary, proceed as described in paragraph 6.2)
• automatic kV adjustment (if necessary, proceed as described in
paragraph 9.1.3). In automatic mode, the kV value should reach a
steady state without oscillations within a couple of seconds. If this is
not the case, adjust the generator parameters as described in the
corresponding service manual.
G
NOTE:
For TV chain N33 only, is possible to get a test pattern to check the
image quality on the monitor. To do that, set dip-switches S1.4 and S1.7
(A2 board) ON.
TECHNICAL MANUAL
Functional checks
8.3 Checking the image quality
TV chains N23 and N33 DRF comes with Dynamic Recursive Filter. This
feature, activated by default, can be disabled acting on board A2 (table-
generator interface).
It is advised to let this feature enabled because it enhances image quality
both statically and during motion.
Before checking image quality make sure that this feature is enabled
and, if necessary increase the filtering action as described at paragraph
6.2 and paragraph 6.3.
G
NOTE:
Filter weight (X0, X4, X8, X16) is more influent when standard recursive
filter is activated; for Dynamic Recursive Filter the default setting is
generally sufficient and acting on X0, X4, X8 or X16 does not affect
significantly the filter action.
8.3.1 Jumpers X10 and X11 setting on Power Supply board A1
The two jumpers X10 and X11 on power supply board A1 connect the
zero volt nodes of the I.I. and CCU power supplies, respectively, to
ground.
If the image on the monitor appears banded or noisy, remove/insert the

jumpers to obtain a condition that minimizes noise.
TECHNICAL MANUAL

The most commonly used phantoms are:
• Huttner type 18 (contained in Leeds University Test Object Set)
• Nuclear Associates model 07-535
• Wellhofer model ETR1
2. Make an X-ray exposure regulating kV and mA in such a way to
optimize spatial resolution (i.e. focus of the system).
3. Adjust the monitor contrast to the maximal value (fully clockwise)
4. Adjust the monitor brightness so that the view of the phantom is as
detailed as possible.
5. Select the different I.I. zooms (N, M1, M2) and compare them with the
minimum limits given in the following table.
Under optimal calibration conditions, the spatial resolution for each
I.I. format and for each zoom level must be greater than or equal to
the values given in table:
I.I. 9” I.I. 12”

Full field (N) 1.6 1.4
Zoom M1 2.0 1.6

9.1.3 Diaphragm and automatic kV adjustment
The diaphragm adjustment is closely correlated with the kV value that

will be delivered by the generator (when operating in automatic kV mode).
The greater the aperture, the more light reaches the camera, and hence
the higher will be the feedback signal which regulates the kV stability
point.
Essentially, all other things being equal, when the aperture opening is
increased, the generator will settle on a lower kV value.
The equipment is factory calibrated to reach a steady state with an I.I.
input dose rate of 45µR/s, which is the value commonly recommended
by the quality protocols for radioscopy examinations.

To check the adjustment, proceed as follows:

1. Place a 1 mm copper plate between the X-ray tube and the I.I.
2. Select the automatic kV adjustment mode.
This means that the input dose rate to the I.I. is 45µR/s.
If the steady state value is significantly different, it will be necessary
to adjust the aperture
3. Connect a digital voltmeter between X2.1 and X2.2 of A2 board. Full
scale 20Vdc
4. Turn the adjuster screw of diaphragm “B” (Figure 9-3) on the camera,
until the voltmeter reading is 6.5 Vdc ±0.2V. This voltage corresponds
to the condition of “kV steady state”.
In these conditions, the two LED's on the CCU must both be off
TECHNICAL MANUAL
Functional checks
5. In order to stabilise the kV for different dose rate values, adjust the
kV, mA and filtration values accordingly.
Note that higher dose rates produce more detailed images, but expose
the patient to higher doses of radiation. It is recommended to not
exceed 60µR/s.
The video signal output by the camera must have a peak value of 0.6V
(measured on the camera output with an oscilloscope). See the trace in
Figure 9-4 below.

NOTE:
It is possible to modify the kV automatic regulation window.
The factory calibration is set to cause the automatic correction for values
± 2 kV. To change this setting act on trimmer P4 for N23 camera or
trimmer R106 for N33 camera. Please be aware that changing this setting
moves the balancing regulation, so it will be necessary to adjust also the
setting of trimmer P11 for N23 camera or R79 for N33 camera.
Changing this setting can have adverse effects like:
• image instability due to high gain feedback on kV (if the window is
too narrow)
• different brightness of the same image after automatic regulation (if
the window is too wide).

Magnetic field correction coil power supply
10. MAGNETIC FIELD CORRECTION COIL

POWER SUPPLY
This adjustment is applicable only to the 16" I.I. for digital applications.
Circuit board 58161072 (magnetic field correction board) supplies the
power to the geometric distortion correction coil on 16” I.I.s.
The circuit board receives an input voltage between 20 and 30Vac and
supplies a stabilised output voltage between 0.65 and 2.65 Vdc.
The power supply is designed to operate with a load of 3 Ohms and a
maximum continuous current of 1A.
The positive terminal is on X2.1.
G
NOTE:
The adjustment must be made with the radiological table in the most
commonly used position, because the ground’s magnetic field causes the
distortion to change considerably as a function of the tilting angle of the
table.
1. Connect the two conductors from the I.I. on terminal block X2

2. Place a geometry evaluation phantom in front of the I.I. (for example
model Wellhofer ETR1)
3. Initiate X-ray exposure and adjust trimmer R2 so as to minimise
distortion of the image.
If necessary, try inverting the polarity of X2.
TECHNICAL MANUAL
Adjusting the HV power supply
11. ADJUSTING THE HV POWER SUPPLY

OF THE I.I.
WARNING:
This is a factory setting. Only change this adjustment when replacing the
HV power supply on an existing I.I.
WARNING: IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

The HV power supply board includes HIGH VOLTAGES which can reach
30kV (30.000 Volt). Do not touch any part of the power supply with bare
hands or metal objects to avoid the risk of electrical shock. Note that
these voltages persist for a few dozen seconds after the power supply has
been disconnected. There are no power-on indicators on the I.I. or on the
HV power supply board. Therefore, before operating on the I.I. always
make sure that the power cable has been physically disconnected.
11.1 Adjustment for Toshiba 9” and 12” I.I.
The trimmers only need to be adjusted if the HV power supply is

replaced. In this case, adjust the trimmers to reinstate the voltage values
of the old HV power supply (also indicated on the I.I. Inspection sheet
attached to the present manual).
The calibration sequence is:

1. Verify and eventually tune voltage G3 (image size) and G1 (uniformity
of focus and brightness).
2. Tune voltage G2 (focus at the centre).
The adjustments must be repeated for the three fields N, M1, M2.
The pulse switch to adjust, the adjustment ranges and the test points are
the following:
Pulse Test
Description Minimum Maximum Ratio
switch point
G1 Voltage G1 (Vdc) 35 350 100 V/V TP4
G2 Voltage G2 (Vdc) 100 2000 1000 V/V TP3
G3 Voltage G3 (kVdc) 2 20 10 kV/V TP2
All the measurements must be made using a multimeter on the Vdc

setting with input impedance no lower than 10MΩ.
TECHNICAL MANUAL
The storage procedure of the tuned values for any voltage is:
1. Once voltage is correctly tuned, turn ON dip switch 1 of the
configuration switch.
2. After a few seconds, turn OFF dip switch 1 of the configuration
switch.
The pulse switch, test points and configuration switch are illustrated in
Figure 11-1.

TECHNICAL MANUAL
11.2 Adjustment for Philips 12” I.I.
The only adjustment to the power supply that is necessary is the

electrical focus of the image intensifier:
1. Select the required format (N, M1, M2); one of the LEDs (H2 to H6 -
Figure 11-2) will then light up.
2. Adjust the potentiometer (R3 to R14) next to the illuminated LED
until the image is optimally focused.
Each format can be focused independently of the others.

Figure 11-2 legend:

• connector X1: is the input for control signals and the low voltage
supply
• connector X2: is the output to the high voltage generator for the
reference voltages and low voltage
• jumper X3: select the type of high voltage generator being used. The
setting should be:
1 – 3 closed 3 – 5 open
2 – 4 closed 4 – 6 open
TECHNICAL MANUAL
11.3 Adjustment for Toshiba 16” I.I.
The trimmers only need to be adjusted if the HV power supply is

replaced. In this case, adjust the trimmers to reinstate the voltage values
of the old HV power supply (also indicated on the I.I. Inspection sheet
attached to the present manual).
G
NOTE:
G4 and G3 voltages may not be read by a common DVM because the
voltage values are very high (more than 1000V). If only a common DVM is
available do not attempt to calibrate these voltages: just leave the preset
values which are usually OK.
The calibration sequence is:

1. Verify and eventually tune voltage G4 and G3 (if possible – see NOTE)
and G1
2. Tune voltage G2 (focus at the centre)
The adjustments must be repeated for the four fields N, M1, M2, M3.
The trimmer to adjust, and the adjustment ranges are the following:
Trimmer Description Minimum Maximum
RV 4 Voltage G4 in N (Vdc) 4000 6000

RV 5 Voltage G4 in M1 (Vdc) 7000 10000
RV 16 Voltage G1 in N e M1 (Vdc) 50 300
RV 17 Voltage G1 in M2 e M3 (Vdc) 50 300
Output voltage can be measured directly between output connectors and

ground.
TECHNICAL MANUAL
All the measurements for G1, G2 must be made using a multimeter on

the Vdc setting with input impedance no lower than 10MΩ.
For G3 and G4 see the NOTE above.
The trimmers and the output connectors are illustrated in Figure 11-3.

12. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
WARNING:
CERTAIN MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS REQUIRE THE
EMISSION OF AN X-RAY BEAM. ALTHOUGH THE I.I. ENVELOPE
IS SUFFICIENTLY SHIELDED WITH LEAD, THE SERVICE
TECHNICIAN MUST IN ANY CASE TAKE EVERY PRECAUTION
TO MINIMISE HIS EXPOSURE TO RADIATION.
12.1 Scheduled maintenance
To ensure correct operation of the equipment over time, it is necessary to

perform the following scheduled maintenance actions:
Type of operation Frequency Reference
Check the automatic kV adjustment (*) 6 months § 9.1.3

Check the image quality 6 months § 8.3
Check the cleanliness of the I.I. and camera 6 months § 9.1.5
Check the presence and condition of the labels 1 year § 3.1
Electrical
Check condition of electrical connections 1 year

12.3 Cleaning
WARNING:
The cleaning operations described below must be performed exclusively
by technical personnel authorised by Villa Sistemi Medicali.
WARNING:
• before proceeding to clean the equipment, it is essential to disconnect
it from the power supply
• take the utmost care to avoid spilling water or other liquids into the
equipment which may cause corrosion or short circuits
• Clean the painted surfaces using only a moist cloth and neutral
detergent, taking care to wipe them afterward with a dry cloth.
Do not use solvents (alcohol, petrol, trichloroethylene) or corrosive or
abrasive products.
The equipment does not have any parts which come into contact with the
patient or the operator, therefore routine cleaning by the operator is not
necessary.
During examinations with contrast medium, the liquid may leak onto the
entrance surface of the I.I.. This condition is readily detected because
very evident spotting appears on the image.
If this occurs, clean the entrance window with a moist cloth and neutral
detergent.
The operation must be carried out with great care because the entrance
window is coated with a very thin (0.5 mm) aluminium sheet.
If the camera or the I.I. are replaced, it is necessary to clean the I.I.
output window and/or the camera optics.
It is recommended to clean these components using compressed air

sprays, soft brushes and disposable lens cleaning tissues.
If necessary it is possible to use (lint free) paper tissues moistened with

distilled water.
