TECHNICAL MANUAL

1.4.7 IONISING RADIATION PROTECTION

Before carrying out any exposure, make sure that all the necessary radiation protections have
been activated.

During X-ray use, the personnel present in the X-ray room must observe the radiation protection
regulations in force. The following rules apply here:

- Where necessary, use radiation protection accessories.


- Use the special radio-protective suits. A radio-protective material equivalent to 0.35 mm of lead gives
99.95% protection against radiation of 50 kV and 94.5% protection against radiation of 100 kV.
- Distance is the best protection against radiation: always keep as far away from the source of the X-
rays and the exposure objective as possible. To this end, use the full length of the X-ray control
footswitch.
- Avoid moving or remaining within the X-ray trajectory.
- Always set the smallest exposure field possible by closing the collimator diaphragms. In fact,
dispersed radiation depends to a large extent on the volume of the irradiated object.

During every exposure, always make sure that the edge of the iris collimator is visible on the
image: if it is not possible to collimate correctly, call the ATS technical service as there is the
risk that the collimator is not working and remains open at an excessive value.

1.4.8 RESIDUAL RISKS

The equipment has been designed and built in full respect of the safety regulations.
Nevertheless, there are still some risks involved in the use of this system if it is used incorrectly or the
prescribed safety measures are faulty.

With regard to risks due to improper use of the equipment, see the instructions and recommendations
above.

Note also that:

- The monitor unit has been tested for stability on inclined surfaces (up to 10°).
* Never use the monitor unit on surfaces with an incline of more than 10°.
* Never try to move the monitor unit when its brakes are engaged.
* When moving the monitor unit, avoid all obstacles on the ground (e.g. cables and steps).

- Uncontrolled movement of the monitor unit, as the result of rapid movements or very steep surfaces,
may injure the patient or operators.
* Do not allow the monitor unit to pick up too much speed.
* Never move the monitor unit downstairs or on surfaces with an incline of more than 10°.

- The stand has been tested for stability during movement on inclined surfaces of up to 10° and on
inclined surfaces of up to 5° in all other positions.
* Never use the stand on surfaces with an incline of more than 5° (or 10° during movement).
* Never try to move the stand when its parking brakes are engaged.
* When moving the stand, avoid all obstacles on the ground (e.g. cables and steps).

- Uncontrolled movement of the stand, as the result of rapid movements or very steep surfaces, may
injure the patient or operators.
* Do not allow the stand to pick up too much speed.
* Never move the stand downstairs or on surfaces with an incline of more than 10°.

revision B PART 1 page 1.4 - 4


code 49 80 012/B - Mti S1 01 04.doc
TECHNICAL MANUAL

- In the case of uncontrolled movement of the arc, the mechanical structure may hit the patient or
operators.
* Keep the movement of the arc under control at all times.

- The monobloc may overheat after continuous and prolonged use of the equipment.
* Never cover the surfaces of the monobloc with material that prevents heat dispersion.

- Inflammable gases may be ignited by electric arcs due to the operation of electrical components.
* Never use the equipment in the presence of anaesthetics or other inflammable products.
* Check that there is a fire extinguisher in the room where the equipment is to be used and
that this is efficient.

With regard to residual risks due to faults in the prescribed safety measures, note that:

- Protection against electric shocks is provided by means of an efficient earth system for all metal
parts covering the equipment.
* The full earth circuit (for both internal and external parts) should therefore be checked for
efficiency on a regular basis (see the "routine maintenance" schedule described in part 5 of
this manual.

- The CRT monitor's TV screen has been checked against the risk of implosion in line with current UL
norms.
* Even so, if the TV screen is hit hard enough, it could break and scatter shards of glass,
dust and possibly toxic gases.
Avoid hitting the monitor with any objects.

- If the LCD monitor's TV screen is hit hard enough, it could break and scatter liquid crystal, that is
toxic.
- Avoid hitting the monitor with any objects.

- The C-arm movement is motorized, controlled by hardware circuits.


- If the motor responsible for moving the C-arm is accidentally powered up, the operator can
immediately push the emergency button placed on the stand or on the monitor unit.

To control the residual risk of X-ray emission in the event of a system fault or incorrect
adjustment, we recommend checking the dose level every day, immediately after switching on
the equipment and before using it with patients (details of this test are given in the User’s
Manual).

4.2.3 SMART FILTER

The SMART FILTER function is very useful when you select the recursive filter with a high weight, as
it lets you keep a reduction in photon noise and thus eliminate the effect of persistence that always
accompanies timed filtering.
This function is obtained via a sophisticated algorithm capable of identifying moving parts in the image
(e.g. a catheter) and reduce the time constant of the filter for those parts, thus letting you get an image
without the persistence effect.

You can adjust the sensitivity of this processing using the SMART CODE parameter. The time
constant chosen for the filter is reduced when the local variation in the signal exceeds the set value (in
levels) defined by the SMART CODE.
Max sensitivity is obtained with code 1 (see table below).

In addition to this "local" processing (especially effective when there are small variations, such as
catheters), you can also control the total area affected by variation.
If there are movements that affect a large area (e.g. movement of the patient bed) or quick changes in
the image (e.g. zoom change), the timed filter is abandoned temporarily to allow for the image to
settle quickly.
The sensitivity of this function is adjusted using dip switch SW1 on the front of board STF-04 (turn
clock-wise to increase sensitivity; 0 = minimum sensitivity, F = maximum sensitivity; the typical default
setting is 1).

Code Variation levels Control over area

1 8 enabled
2 12 enabled
3 16 enabled
4 20 enabled
5 20 enabled (progressive) *
6 20 not enabled**

Note: * Code 5 allows for a progressive reduction in the time constant of the filter, from the set value
to the minimum value, depending on the levels of variation detected.
** Code 6, as well as not allowing for control of the variations in the area, sets the time constant
for a recursive filter of weight K=2 as the minimum time constant value.

5.6 HARD DISK MANAGEMENT

The DIP240A and DIP240HD processors can split their hard disks into several logical units
representing as many archive folders that can be associated, for example, to different departments or
different operators.
The processor is normally supplied with the HD already formatted and split into 6 logical units (each
capable of storing 8100 images), called “UNITS”.

5.6.1 DISK ADMINISTRATOR

Press key F7 in the patient list frame and enter the service password (“techservice”) to open the
DISK ADMINISTRATOR frame that lets you access the HD formatting and division functions. These
functions should be used when the HD needs to be replaced.
The procedure involves:

1) Full HD formatting
2) HD division (Creation of the logical units)
3) Selection of the working logic unit.

● HD formatting

Open the DISK ADMINISTRATOR frame (press F7 in the patient list frame).

- The characteristics of the dHD are shown:

DEVICE HD brand and model


N. LG UNIT number of logical units
LG UNIT DIM size (in Kbytes) of the logical units
DEVICE DIM size (in Kbytes) of the HD.

- Press key F to format the entire HD and confirm by pressing key Y.

revision 0 PART 2 page 5.6 - 1


code 49 80 012/B - Mti S2 05 06.doc
TECHNICAL MANUAL

● HD division

To split the HD into logical units, press Enter in the DISK ADMINISTRATOR frame to open the
MEDIA MANAGER frame:

- Delete the default logical unit by pressing D and confirm with Y.


The cursor moves to the DIMENSION OF LOGICAL UNIT field.

- Enter value 99999999 to create divisions of the max possible size (in fact, the system replaces the
entered value with the max value compatible with the current HD).
For example, if an 18GB HD: when you set the max size you can create 6 divisions each capable
of holding 8100 images (default setting).

- Use the New unit command (key N) to create a new logical unit in the HD.
Enter the name of the logical unit and confirm with Enter.

- Repeat the New unit command until you reach the max disk capacity, indicated by the alarm
message:
NO SPACE ON MEDIA FOR A NEW UNIT

Note: - You can delete a unit: select the unit you want to delete from the MEDIA MANAGER frame
and then press key D (Delete Unit).
- In any case, any change to the size of the logical units automatically involves the
deletion of all units in the HD.

- Return to the patient list by pressing ESC.

5.7 MONITOR CONTROL

Monitor control involves checking the geometry of the monitor and adjusting its brightness and
contrast.
We recommend using a phantom for this to check the brightness and control settings.

The 19” LCD monitor (model PI950LMI) and 18” (model IVL-I855IM) lets you make several
adjustments using the OSD (“On Screen Display”) commands via a dual function knob:
- rotate to chose the menus and parameters
- press to enable the functions and accept the set parameters.
The monitor has already been adjusted in the ATS factory: we therefore recommend that you only
adjust the brightness and contrast, if necessary.

Adjustment control knob

- Access the main menu.

- Select the Picture menu.

revision A PART 2 page 5.7 - 1


code 49 80 012/B - Mti S2 05 07.doc
TECHNICAL MANUAL

- Then select Contrast and adjust as required.

- Select Brightness and adjust as required.

Note: You can also adjust the brightness directly,


without using the main menu. To do this,
simply turn the knob to view the Brightness
window and then adjust the brightness.

2 X-RAY ADJUSTMENTS

2.1 ADJUSTING THE kV AND mA

Adjustment of the radiology parameters involves:

- Adjustment of the SET kV.

- Adjustment of the Filament current in:


- Fluoroscopy mode,
- Radiography mode.

- Checking the kV on the X-ray tube.

- Checking the anode mA.

2.1.1 FIXED ANODE VERSION

2.1.1.1 ADJUSTING THE "SET kV"

The SET kV is supplied by the microcomputer and must be calibrated to kV/20 via the Set-Up
procedure (see "Appendix 4.1").

a) ADJUSTING THE MAXIMUM kV SAFETY SETTING

The maximum SET kV must be set at 5.5 V = 110 kV.


Potentiometer B3-P7 is used to adjust the max SET kV safety setting. This should be set at 115 kV.

- With the equipment switched off, put board B3 on the extension board.
- Connect a digital DC voltmeter on board B3 between: TP19(+) and Tp17(-).
- Switch on and adjust potentiometer P7 to get: 5.75 V (±0.1 V).

b) ADJUSTING THE SET kV

- Connect a digital DC voltmeter on board PSM05 between: CP1-10(+) and Tp5(-).


- Activate the Set-Up procedure.
- Select: kV ADJ at 40 kV
- Adjust to get a reading on the voltmeter of: 2.00 V.
- Select: kV ADJ at 110 kV
- Adjust to get a reading on the voltmeter of:: 5.50 V.
- Exit the Set-Up procedure.
- Select 100 kV, 80 kV and 60 kV and check that the reading
on the digital voltmeter in each case is: V=kVset/20±25mV
(e.g., with 100 kV, you should get V = 5 V ±25 mV)

c) CHECKING THE MAXIMUM kV SAFETY SETTING

- Connect the voltmeter on board B3 between: Tp19(+) and Tp17(-).


- Lower the maximum safety setting to 100 kV, using
potentiometer P7 to get a reading of: 4 V (±0.1 V).
- Check that the "MAX kV" alarm is triggered when the kV setting
exceeds 100 kV.

3.2 ADJUSTING THE SIZE OF THE IMAGE

The size of the image shown on the monitor depends on the distance between the optical unit and the
I.I. tube.
This distance is obtained by placing suitable rings between the optical unit and the I.I. tube until the
right thickness is reached.

Follow these steps to adjust the size of the image on the monitor properly:

version Fully open the electronic circle using potentiometer P12 on board CCD-B2.
- DIP240 version:
- SBFM version: Set the max size of the electronic circle by removing both jumpers JP6 and JP7
from board SBFM07 (see below, figure 15a).
- Select the normal I.I. field.
- Give the fluoroscopy command at 40 kV without placing any phantom on the I.I. tube.
- Check that the size of the output window of the I.I. is shown on the monitor as an image of roughly
255-260 mm
- If necessary, correct the size of the the output window of the I.I. on the monitor by adding extra
spacer rings (supplied with the equipment) if the size of the output window is more than 260 mm or
by removing one or more spacer rings if the size of the output window is less than 255 mm.
To do this, you need to remove the camera cover on the I.I. tube (see paragraph 3.3 below) and
extract the optical unit:
• optical unit code OBX7/1.8 using the 4 screws A that fix it to the tube (see figure 3a),
• optical unit code 4240000 using the 3 screws B that fix it to the tube (see figure 3b).

Note: The figure shows a 9” I.I. tube. These instructions are still valid for the other tubes, in any case.

3.5 CENTRING THE TV CAMERA

To centre the TV camera you need to position the centre of the I.I. tube output field on the centre of
the acquisition matrix.
To do this:
- Place a suitable reference object (e.g. a washer or disk) on the front surface of the I.I.
tube, at its centre,
- Enable the display of the centring cross on the working monitor:
version press CTRL+C
o DIP240 version:
o SBFM version: press both image rotation commands for at least 3 seconds.
The TV camera is correctly adjusted when:
- the image on the monitor is always centred on the axis of rotation throughout the entire 360°
rotation,
- the image is still centred after giving the reverse command on the vertical axis.
The area of the memory matrix is shown on the monitor by a square image corresponding to 576 x
576 pixels.
The drawings in figure 16a show correct and incorrect centring.

- The instructions above are still valid for the other collimator models, even if the laser localizer
and the dosimeter are fitted on their supports.

3.8 ADJUSTING THE APERTURE OF THE X-RAY COLLIMATOR

This adjustment lets you set the following values:


- minimum iris aperture
- maximum iris aperture for every I.I. tube zoom-in
- with DIP240: maximum thin-plate aperture.

To adjust the collimator, use the Set-Up procedure on the stand:

- Activate the Set-Up procedure.


- Select: IRIS DIAPHRAGM ADJ with IRIS MIN

- Set the minimum value possible.


- Give the command to close the iris and read on the
display the corresponding set-up value
(mechanical stop value).
- Set the mechanical stop value plus 10 as the set-
up value.
- Select *: IRIS DIAPHRAGM ADJ with IRIS ZOOM2
- Give the fluoroscopy command at 40 kV, without copper
filter, and then adjust the set-up value until the iris
shutters are just visible inside the electronic circle on
the monitor *.
- Select: IRIS DIAPHRAGM ADJ with IRIS ZOOM1
- Give another fluoroscopy command at 40 kV, without
copper filter, and adjust the set-up value until the iris
shutters are just visible inside the electronic circle on
the monitor.
- Select: IRIS DIAPHRAGM ADJ with IRIS NORMAL
- Give another fluoroscopy command at 40 kV, without
copper filter, and adjust the set-up value until the iris
shutters are just visible inside the electronic circle on
the monitor.
- Select: IRIS DIAPHRAGM ADJ with IRIS RAD
- Set 200.
- with DIP240: IRIS DIAPHRAGM ADJ with MAX SHUTTER OP
- Select:
- Give another fluoroscopy command at 40 kV,
without copper filter, and adjust the set-up value
until the parallel thin plates are just visible inside
the electronic circle on the monitor.
- Select: IRIS DIAPHRAGM ADJ with SHUTTER ANGLE
- Give another fluoroscopy command at 40 kV,
without copper filter, and close the thin plates so
these become visible. Then adjust the set-up value
until the direction of the virtual indication of the tin
plates matches the actual direction.
- Exit the Set-Up procedure.

* Note: Option Zoom 2 is not possible with the 7” I.I. tube.

It is important that the max aperture is adjusted with different I.I. tube zoom values so that
the edge of the collimator is always visible: this gives the operator a guarantee that the X-ray
beam has been correctly shuttered.

3.9 FINAL CHECK

3.9.1 SPATIAL RESOLUTION

Spatial resolution is measured in the factory by giving the automatic continuous fluoroscopy command
with:
- Resolution test FUNK type 18 , at 45° on the I.I. tube in 3 different positions (at the centre and the
edges as shown in figure 23).
- Edge enhancement: SHARP.

The table below shows the typical values with line pairs per mm (LP/mm).
Check that the values are close to the ones given in the TEST REPORT attached to the system. If the
value is lower, check the optical focussing.

3.9.2 CONTRAST MEASUREMENT

The contract is measured in the factory using the Nuclear Associates test, model 07-645.
This test involves the use of 2 aluminium phantoms (“A” and “B”), with 9 round targets of
differing contrast levels on each of these; the contrast levels of the targets on the second
phantom are in-between those of the first phantom.

To determine the min. contrast:


- Insert a 2 mm copper filter in the monobloc.
- Set continuous fluoroscopy with automatic kV values and note the value of the working kV.
- Place the A test phantom on the face of the I.I. tube, give the fluoroscopy command and
find the target with the lowest level of contrast on the monitor and make a note of its
identifying number.
- Repeat with the B phantom.
- Using the lowest of the 2 numbers and in line with the working kV, use the table below to
find the corresponding percentage of min visible contrast.

Note 1: The phantoms are marked with the letters A and B; marks 1 and 3 are for the positioning of
the phantom in order to number the targets (the numbering system is indicated in figures 24a
and 24b).

Note 2: - Under test conditions, the system normally selects 66 kV; we have, therefore, only provided
the portion of the table for 60 kV and 70 kV. Interpolate the figures to get the intermediate
values.
- ATS considers low contrast sensitivity values of not more than 3.5% to be acceptable.

4.2 ADJUSTING THE ARC COLUMN MOVEMENT

You can control the speed of the arc column as it moves up and down.
It is also necessary to guarantee the safety of the up/down movement of the arc in order to avoid
sudden movements that could put the machine under dangerous levels of stress, or create potential
risks for patients and operators.

The speed and safety adjustments are made using the 3 potentiometers on board B7 (ASAC).
If this board needs to be replaced, you will need to check the settings as shown in the table below.

Potentiometer Name / Function Adjustment *

P1 UP SPEED Adjust so that the column does not rise at more than 1 cm/s
(i.e., column moves all the way up in not less than 40 seconds)
P2 CURRENT LIMITATION Under worst conditions (longitudinal trolley of the arc fully
extended), adjust P2 to the minimum to allow the system to
complete the upward movement smoothly, without interruptions.
N.B.: The motor electrical input of the motor will gradually
increase as the trolley reaches the upper limit switch.
P3 DOWN SPEED Adjust so that the column does not lower at more than 1 cm/s
(i.e., column moves all the way down in not less than 40
seconds)

P1 P3 P2

Fig. 25: B7 board

* Note: Start making the adjustments with the potentiometer turned completely clockwise (min
current); then continue, gradually turning the potentiometer in the opposite direction until you
get the conditions described in the table.

1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

1.1 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The equipment requires regular checks and maintenance. The following recommendations are aimed
at maintaining good operating and safety conditions.
The equipment contains mechanical parts subject to wear and tear as a result of their use. After a
prolonged period of use, it is possible that safety will be reduced due to wear and tear of the
components.
Regular inspections and maintenance are also needed to protect patients and operators from injury
arising from broken mechanical parts.
Correct adjustment of the electromechanical and electronic modules directly affects the working,
image quality, electrical safety and the radiation exposure level to which both hospital personnel and
patients are subject.
The maintenance program, described in paragraphs 2 and 3 below, consists of checks and preventive
measures which are the responsibility of the owner and which should be carried out by expressly
authorised personnel.

Always use original spare parts only if you need to substitute parts that may affect machine
safety.

TECHNICAL MANUAL

1.2 FREQUENT CHECKS AND INSPECTIONS

The operators must receive special training to carry out the daily and weekly checks detailed in the
table below.
The other checks (see paragraph below) should be carried out by qualified and authorised technical
department personnel.

Daily: Check that the signals, displays and leds are working.
Check that the warning and danger signs are not damaged.
Check the efficiency of the fans on the back of the monitor unit.
Check the dose level (see paragraph 1.2.1 below).
Weekly: Check for oil leaks coming from the monobloc.
Check for unusual noises coming from the monobloc during X-ray emission.
Check the state of the cable sheaths.
Check the state of the power connectors, the X-ray command footswitch and
the connections between the stand and the monitor unit

1.2.1 CHECKING THE DOSE LEVEL

In order to prevent residual risks linked to X-ray emission should the system malfunction, or is not
correctly adjusted, we recommend carrying out the following check on the dose level on a daily basis,
immediately after switching on the equipment and before starting to scan patients.
To do this:

a) Give the command for continuous fluoroscopy in


automatic mode with the I.I. tube on a normal field,
using one of the filters supplied with the equipment
(2 mm copper plate):
- Check that the kV automatically set by the X-ray
generator are equal (or within the tolerance) to
those indicated in the dose level check sheet
supplied with the manuals (see table below for
typical kV value).
Cu
b) In the same manner, order a second fluoroscopy
scan using both the filters supplied with the
equipment (total 4 mm copper):
- Check that the kV automatically set by the X-ray
generator are equal (or within the tolerance) to
those indicated in the dose level check sheet
supplied with the manuals (see table below for
typical kV value).

The table below shows the typical kV values for both


the fixed and rotating anode versions.

Filter kV
thickness (tolerance ±1 kV)

1.3 GENERAL CHECKS AND INSPECTIONS

The entire Acceptance Tests procedure must be carried out once every 6 months, and always in
accordance with local laws.
The results must be noted on the TEST SHEET (see paragraph 1.4 in Part 3 “ACCEPTANCE”)
together with details of any action taken.
Full routine maintenance consists of the operations listed in the TEST SHEET, repeated here with
their relevant codes in Table 2; the checks listed in Table 1 must always be done before those in

2.5.2.2 LASER LOCALIZERS

Laser diodes “L1” and “L2” are fitted on a double cylindrical support (“A” + “B”) that lets you move the
laser beam along the 2 axes at right-angles (the direction of the beam is adjusted by rotating the diode
inside small cylinder “A”).
The diodes have a cover on top with a diaphragm shutter (fixed by 2 grub screws) used ed to limit the
aperture of the laser.
One of the two diode supports is fixed (with grub screw “E”) to a support “G” (in turn fixed to the
collimator cover by the 2 screws “C”), while the other, if the dosimeter is present. is fixed to the
dosimeter support (grub screw “E”).

To remove and fix the laser localizers:


- Use grub screws “E” to remove the entire unit (laser + double cylindrical support).
- Use grub screw “D” to extract just the laser.

To direct the laser beam and centre this on the face of the I.I. tube:
- Loosen grub screw “D“ and then direct the beam as required.
- Loosen grub screw “F“ (to rotate cylindrical support “A”) and grub screw “E“ (to rotate cylindrical
support “B”).
- Rotate laser supports ”A” and “B” to move the beam until you get a cross with perpendicular arms
in the centre of the I.I. tube input face.
- Tighten all grub screws: “D”, “E” and “F”.

Note: Grub screw “F” can be placed on both the front and the side of small cylinder “A” (“F1” in the
Note
figure = front).

Warning: Never look directly at the laser beam as this can damage your eyes!

2.10 ADJUSTING THE I.I.TUBE POWER RATING

Note: The rating only needs to be adjusted once the I.I. tube has been replaced.

Calibration involved adjusting the I.I. tube grid rating to match those defined by the manufacturer
(Thales).

Test Report:
Find the Test Report for the equipment. This also
includes the I.I. tube Test Report compiled by Thales
(see Figure 27).

EXAMPLE

(Fig. 27)
Test Point and Potentiometers:
The power unit has Test Points (see Fig. 28) with DC voltage proportional to the actual grid value.

The table below indicates the voltage rates that need to be adjusted using the corresponding test
points:

Voltage U3: adjusted using trimmer G3 to define the size of the input image that suits the selected
zoom factor

Voltage U2: adjusted using trimmer G2 to get the best resolution at the centre of the image

Voltage U1: adjusted using trimmer G1 to get the best resolution at the edge/centre of the image

Test point Ratio Unit

4 SCRAPPING

4.1 PROCEDURES AND PRECAUTIONS

When scrapping the device, special care must be taken when handling the following components as
these can be hazardous:

- The I.I. tube contains a vacuum tube which, should it break, can send shards of glass flying
and disperse powder and gas that may be toxic; it also contains lead that must be considered
a toxic material.

- The CRT monitor contains a vacuum TV tube which, should it break, can send shards of
glass flying and disperse powder and gas that may be toxic.

- The LCD monitor contains a input screen which, should it break, can send shards of glass
flying and disperse powder and gas that may be toxic.

- The monobloc contains a vacuum tube which, should it break, can send shards of glass
flying; it also contains lead that must be considered a toxic material; it also contains exhaust
oil which must be disposed of in accordance with the current local regulations.

- The X-ray collimator contains lead: this is a toxic material and must be treated as such.

- The equipment contains printed circuit boards which contain a certain amount of lead: this
is a toxic material and must be treated as such.

Other parts of the equipment are:


- ferrous material (frames etc.),
- plastic (guards etc.),
- wiring,
- optical materials.
These parts are not considered to be a potential source of hazards when scrapping the device.

All parts should be disposed of in accordance with the prevailing regulations in each country
at the moment of scrapping.

This symbol is placed on the equipment to remind you that the equipment meets
the European Environmental Directives (2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC, 2003/108/EC)
and so must be scrapped in accordance with the relevant laws for separated waste
disposal.

This equipment must not be disposed of as normal urban solid waste: it must
be taken to an expert waste disposal centre or returned to the dealer, should
you wish to replace it with a new model.

5 APPENDICES

5.1 CHECKING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE DOSE AREA METER

The performance test for the Dose Area meter (DAM) involves comparing the value of the “patient
2
dose” shown on the console display (in mGy*cm ) with that calculated by reading a dosimeter:

- Place a dosimeter on the cover of the monobloc, with the collimators fully open, having a
sensitive area wider than the complete X-ray beam at that point.
The diameter of the X-ray beam at the monobloc cover should be:
- about 6 cm for a 7” I.I. tube,
- about 7 cm for a 9” I.I. tube,
- about 8 cm for a 12” I.I. tube.
- Set the reference dosimeter for mGy.
- Select manual continuous fluoroscopy at 60 kV.
- Clear the dosimeter and reset the DAM indication.
- Give the fluoroscopy command for about 10 seconds and then note the reading on the dosimeter.
- Multiply the dosimeter reading (mGy) by the value of the nominal sensitive area of the dosimeter
2
(in cm ).
- Check that the difference between the calculated “dose*area” value and that shown on the
console display is not greater than 20%.

Example: - dosimeter sensitive area: 100 cm2


- reading on dosimeter: 8.93 mGy
- calculated dose*area: 8.93 mGy * 100 cm2 = 893 mGy*cm2
- reading on display: 980 mGy*cm2
- error %: (980 – 893) / 893 * 100 = 9.7%.

If the error is greater than the limit of 20%, you need to calibrate the DAM.
