2.1 General guidelines /purpose of use

When this manual refers to the GENESIS DT/DTs X-ray generator, it refers to all versions of the
GENESIS DT X-ray generator, and also to all versions of the GENESIS DTs X-ray generator.
The GENESIS DT/DTs X-ray generator is a Class IIb medical device, and is intended for use
along with other components (not part of this document) by trained and instructed healthcare
professionals for creating diagnostically useful radiographs in human medicine. The group of
patients includes healthy or sick people of any age, weight and/or condition. Generally, all body
parts of all patients can be X-rayed − exceptions may result from the available maximum power
output and the posture of the patient. The equipment can work in non-sterile areas. The equip-
ment cannot be sterilized and therefore must not be used in an operating room.
This equipment may not be used for any other purpose without the express permission of the
manufacturer. The manufacturer does not accept any liability for improper use. This manual is
valid for all versions of the GENESIS DT/DTs X-ray generator.
WARNING
Making changes or modifications to the GENESIS DT/DTs X-ray generator is not
permitted!
2.1.1 Installation and service, maintenance, safety-related check

WARNING
Installation and service must only be performed by qualified personnel.
NOTE
The contact data of the department responsible to the operator of the system (cus-
tomer service,…) are provided in the dossier of the system. If this information is not
available, the operator should ask the manufacturer of the generator to provide the
information needed (see the title page of this manual for the address of the manufac-
turer).
2.1.2 Cleaning and disinfection

WARNING
Cleaning and disinfection must only be performed by qualified personnel. The in-
structions in Chapter 6 of this manual must be followed.
2.1.3 Electrical safety

WARNING
Even if the generator is turned off, voltage is present in the power cabinet, the power
supply and control circuits. The installation, commissioning, repair or disassembly
should only be performed by personnel sufficiently trained by the manufacturer!
2.1.3.1 Protection against electric shock

The equipment complies with class I protection requirements. All exposed conductive parts
which may come in contact with a person are connected to the protective conductor of the main
earthing terminal.
ATTENTION
In order to eliminate the risk of electric shock, this device must be connected to the
power supply only with the protective cable.

User Manual
2 Safety BH-EN-SW1071-16.08.2016
WARNING
 All adjustable components of the equipment are to be operated with the

necessary caution. Also, they should be checked regularly (as described in
the relevant operating and maintenance manuals).
 Maintenance must only be performed by qualified and trained personnel. In
any case, it must be ensured that the power supplies are disconnected be-
fore any work is performed on electrical components.
 The high voltage cables may only be disconnected from the X-ray tube or
from the high voltage transformer after ensuring that all main and auxiliary
power circuits are disconnected.
 Only CE labelled peripheral equipment shall be used in the patient’s vicinity.
 Concurrent contact of the user between the patient and system parts electri-
cally connected with the generator should be avoided.
 Failure to comply with the above rules may result in serious personal injury
and/or equipment damage.
2.1.3.2 Earthing instructions

During installation, make sure that the earthing system complies with IEC 60601-2-54 require-
ments. A separate cable must be used for safe earthing.
The neutral conductor must not be used as an earth wire.
2.1.4 Operating safety

WARNING
In the case of an electrical power failure occurring during an ongoing examination,
which might cause harm or unacceptable risk to the patient (e.g. when applying a
stent), the operator must ensure that the system is powered by an uninterruptible
power supply.
WARNING
Changes or modifications to the GENESIS DT/DTs X-ray generator are not permit-
ted!
2.1.5 Systems
Additional equipment that is connected to medical electrical equipment must have the appropri-
ate certificates to comply with the respective IEC or ISO standards (e.g. IEC 60950 for data
processing equipment). Additionally, all configurations must meet the standard requirements for
medical systems (see IEC 60601-1-1 or section 16 of the 3rd edition of IEC 60601-1, respec-
tively). Any person who connects additional equipment to a medical electrical equipment system
is a system configurator and therefore is responsible for ensuring that the entire system com-
plies with the standard requirements. It should be noted that local laws take precedence over
the above mentioned requirements. For further inquiries, please contact your local dealer.
2.1.6 Scope of responsibility

Josef Betschart AG can take responsibility for the safety characteristics of its products only
when the commissioning, maintenance and any changes are carried out exclusively by author-
ized persons with supporting certification documentation.

2 Safety BH-EN-SW1071-16.08.2016
2.1.7 Improper operation

When designing and producing the GENESIS DT/DTs generator, particular emphasis was
placed on the safety of the patient and the operator. The GENESIS DT/DTs will operate reliably
with proper use, maintenance and repair. Improper use and/or usage not adhering to guidelines
can cause serious damage to the patient, operator and/or the equipment. In these instances
Josef Betschart AG shall not be held responsible.
2.1.8 Explosion protection

This equipment must not be used in rooms where flammable anaesthetics are located (e.g. gas
mixture with air, oxygen or nitrogen). The use of detergents and disinfectants can cause an
explosive mixture. When cleaning or using the equipment on a patient, please adhere to the
applicable regulations for formation of explosive gas mixtures.
2.1.9 Maintenance
The maintenance of the generator must be performed by qualified personnel who are familiar
with the safety requirements. (Chapter 6 - Scheduled maintenance).
2.1.10 Legally required inspections

As required by these guidelines, checks must be carried out at the specified intervals.
2.1.11 Disengaging from operation

The X-ray generator can be decommissioned and removed only by specialized companies.
National and international environmental protection directives must be strictly complied with.
Before decommissioning the generator, it should be determined what, if any, steps are required
to decontaminate it at a given location.

2.2 Radiation protection

WARNING
X-rays can be as dangerous for the staff and for the patient if applied incorrectly. The
maintenance and repair personnel of imaging radiology equipment must have read
and understood this manual. Also, they must provide proof of training in radiation
protection techniques. The knowledge of the relevant standards and regulations is
required.
2.2.1 Personnel safety

The operator of the X-ray equipment is responsible for ensuring that the statutory radiation pro-
tection measures are adhered to.
WARNING
 Without appropriate protection measures, X-rays and gamma rays are dangerous
to humans.
 With improper use, both the primary beam as well as the remnant beam radiation
can cause fatal damage to persons in the vicinity of the X-ray equipment.
 To prevent unnecessary radiation exposure, only the parts of the body to be ex-
amined by the X-rays should be exposed - all other parts should be protected
with appropriate protective equipment.
 X-ray equipment should be operated only by qualified personnel.
 The equipment operators must be familiar with and be able to apply radiation pro-
tection regulations.
 Failure to observe these safety regulations may lead to fatal injuries to patients
and persons in the immediate vicinity of the X-ray equipment.
2.2.2 Safety with Automatic Exposure Control (AEC)

When the automatic exposure control is activated the GENESIS DT/DTs controls the exposure,
so that the patient and the operator are protected in case of radiation overexposure in error. If
any of the following conditions are met, the monitoring system will stop the exposure:
1-point mode: if the time limit reaches 3 seconds, or max. allowable mAs ratings
reached of 600 mAs;
2-point mode: if the preset mAs product is exceeded by more than 20%;
3-point mode: if the preset switching time is exceeded by more than 20%;
in all exposure modes: when "Dose Test" is selected in the setup, the monitoring system halts
the radiation immediately when the set value of the expected cut-off dose
is not reached within the first 50 ms of the exposure.

4.2 Operation modes

The GENESIS DT/DTs X-ray generator can be operated in the following modes:
 radiography with “free technique” - with/without automatic exposure control
 radiography with anatomic programs - with/without automatic exposure control
 fluoroscopy (radioscopy) - optional only for the GENESIS DT
o continuous with normal dosage range
o continuous with increased dosage
o pulsed
CAUTION
The operator is responsible for a proper positioning of the patient in the radiation
field. He is also responsible to protect adequately those body parts that are exposed
to the radiation field but should not receive X-ray radiation (the knowledge about the
proper usage of the legally mandatory protective equipment is assumed).
CAUTION
The operator has to move away far enough from the radiation field before the
exposure is released. In particular, the protective equipment against radiation
provided for the operator should be used.
4.2.1 Radiography with “free technique”
4.2.1.1 Selecting the “free technique”

When switching the generator on, the free technique is automatically turned on:
 text field (11) is empty;
 no body part is selected in the organ region selector (13).
If these two conditions are not met – for example, when an exposure was taken with an anat-
omic program or if the fluoroscopy mode is selected, then the free technique can be switched
on in the following manner:
4.2.1.1.1 Anatomic program is switched on

By clicking or touching the title or a blank line (highlighted in yellow

4.2.1.10.1 Charge status of the Supercap memory (only GENESIS DTs) – (14)
The charge status is displayed on the graphical user interface if the Supercap energy memory
(GENESIS DTs) is installed. An exposure release in this case is possible only if sufficient power
is available:
The charge of the Supercap energy memory is sufficiently high to allow exposures at full power 
normal exposure operation is possible.
The charge of the Supercap energy memory does not allow any more exposures  the release of
additional exposures is blocked until the energy memory has been sufficiently recharged.
NOTE
If this status lasts longer than 5-6 minutes, there is a fault in the system (Supercap energy
memory is no longer being charged). If switching the generator on and off once does not rem-
edy this problem  contact customer service.
Table 4-16: Charge status of Supercap energy memory
4.2.1.10.2 Tube position detector (optional) – (15)

If the tube position detector is activated (TPD), the button for the TPD is displayed on the
graphical user interface of the user console. An exposure release in this case is possible only if
the TPD button is green:
An organ program with a horizontal emitter alignment (90°) is selected and the tube is point-
ing in the right direction  exposure can be released;
An organ program with a horizontal emitter alignment (90°) is selected, but the tube is point-
ing in the wrong direction  exposure release is blocked;
An organ program with a vertical emitter alignment (0°) is selected and the tube is pointing
in the right direction  exposure can be released;
An organ program with a vertical emitter alignment (0°) is selected, but the tube is pointing
in the wrong direction  exposure release is blocked;
An organ program with an emitter alignment ≠ 0° or ≠ 90° is selected and the tube basically
points in the right direction  exposure can be released;
The emitter alignment is not vertical (0°) and not horizontal (90°). The exposure release is
blocked. However, emitter alignments are still necessary for specific exposure techniques.
In such cases click on this button to enable exposure release for one single exposure (the
colour of the button then changes to green);

4.2.3.4 Fluoroscopy modes of operation

Two different operating modes for continuous fluoroscopy can be set during the installation:
1. Tube voltage and tube current may be adjusted independently of one another
2. The tube current is dependent on the selected tube voltage
In mode 2, the dose range is highly dynamic due to the combination of the tube voltage and
tube current.
A programmed function ensures that the tube current is proportional to the lower and upper limit
value of the tube voltage. If the tube voltage increases above the upper limit, the tube current
remains constant at its programmed maximum.
During the installation of the generator the two control limits of the regulation function (straight
line) can be set. By default, the following values are used:
Area with normal dose Area with high-current fluoroscopy
Lower limit value: 40 kV / 0.5 mA 40 kV / 5 mA
Upper limit value: 80 kV / 5.0 mA 80 kV / 10 mA

The tube voltage and tube current are set precisely as described in sections 4.2.3.6 and 4.2.3.7.
4.2.3.10 Triggering radiation with fluoroscopy

The fluoroscopy is switched on by the foot switch connected to the X-ray generator. The foot
switch must be pressed throughout the fluoroscopy.
WARNING
Starting fluoroscopy means that ionizing radiation is generated and radiated. The
device operator must ensure that both patient and operator are sufficiently protected
from undesired radiation (using radiation protection and keeping a safe distance).
