The following figure shows the location where the minimum clearance should be
checked:
Fig. 6: Gantry to Floor Measurement

1. Check the minimum distance of 1.38 inches / 3.51 cm between the SPECT gantry
crossbeam and the floor.
2. If this distance is less than the minimum distance, investigate the cause of the failure.
The gantry will have to be raised up until it satisfies this minimum clearance.

If the height of the SPECT gantry is altered or changed in any way, then complete system


alignment, will have to be performed.
For instructions on system alignment, refer to the Symbia Installation Procedure and
Startup and QC Procedure.

4.20 SLD Drift


The criteria to pass this test is to perform the checks in this section and not put the sys‐
tem into a persistent motion error.
Detector at 180 deg. (on the Bottom)
1. Install the highest energy collimators.
2. Using the hand controller rotate the system and position the detector under test at
180 degrees (bottom of the orbit / below the patient).
3. Using the control button on hand controller, move the detector in as far as it will go.
4. Refer to the table below to determine the correct SLD position (cm) for the type of col‐
limators that are installed. Drive SLD OUT (down toward home position) using the
control button and press the E-STOP button when the correct position on the PPM is
reached according to the table column “Min”. See the table below.

 Keep the control button pressed until after you hit the E-STOP. Do not release the control
button before pressing E-STOP.

5. Observe the detector for at least 30 seconds. (If the axis is drifting it will cause a “per‐
sistent motion error (PME)” – let axis slip until it stops). See the PPM screenshot on
next page for an example of a PME. Persistent motion error occurs after 5mm of trav‐
el.

If you encounter a “Persistent Motion Error” before completing the test on both SLD’s in

 both directions, the error will need to be cleared in order to continue. The existence of a
PME is an indication for replacement of the SLD drive assembly. Please contact the RSC
for further instructions.

5.5.10 Load Bearing Bolt Checks

5.5.10.1 Overview
The following checks in this section are to verify that all bolts bearing weight are tight. If
any of the checks fail, the failure must be corrected before the system can be used again
clinically. The following methods are used to determine if a bolt is tight:
n Feeler Gauge: Checking for separation of the joint with a feeler gage. The feeler gage
is used as a probe only. No amount of separation in a joint is acceptable. 0.004” feeler
gage is specified for all of the checks as anything thinner may not have enough stiff‐
ness to stand up to the constant probing that is required. If a feeler gauge of the
specified value is unavailable, use a gauge that is closest to .004”. A “Torque Tighten‐
ing Value” may be given. This is for reference in case of a failure, the torque value for
tightening is available for tightening the bolt checked.
n Applying a specified tightening torque to the bolts in the joint. Typically, two torque
values are given. The first torque value is the specified “check” value which is 70% of
the specified “Torque Tightening Value”. The instructions are to check the torque val‐
ue at the specified “Torque Check Value”. If movement of the bolt is observed (failure),
then the bolt is to be tightened to the value specified as “Torque Tightening Value”. If
no movement of the bolt is observed during the check, the check has passed and no
further action is required.
n Visually inspecting bolt stripes alignment.

If one loose bolt is discovered on a load bearing assembly during the checks in this sec‐


tion, then every load bearing bolt in that assembly should be tightened.
Tighten the assembly bolts using the value from the "Torque Tightening Value" column
in the table below.

5.10 Lubricating the rotate ring


1. Home the system from the PPM. This will configure the system to 180 degrees.
2. Move the rotate ring from -135 degrees to +405 degrees with the hand controller.
Check that the rotate ring moves smoothly.
3. Check clearance of all parts, that none will restrict motion.
4. Check that cables track properly without the possibility of pinching.
5. Place the rotate axis back in the home position. Home the system or use the hand
controller to perform.
6. Remove covers surrounding the drive motor assembly.
7. Visually confirm the SPECT gantry is at home position. The cable handler should be at
the position shown below.

 Permanent damage can occur to the cable handler if over rotated. At no time during this
procedure should the cable handler exceed either it’s CW or CCW limit switches.

8. Remove the shroud covering the drive pinion gear. This is necessary because it was
not designed to hold the amount of grease that may drip off in this area during the
grease procedure.
9. Place some plastic sheets, towels, or disposable wipes under the drive pinion gear to
prevent excess grease from hitting the frame and the floor.
10. Before applying any new grease, wipe off any large accumulations of old grease or
debris from the ring, drive gear, gear shroud, and surrounding frame.
11. Obtain the grease (Molub-Alloy 936: Siemens part number 7763803) and caulking
gun (05208124). Cut the tip off the end of the tube so that a 6mm (1/4”) bead will be
able to flow.
12. The grease must be applied at the location shown below while the ring is rotating
clockwise. The clockwise ring rotation will act to pull the grease into the meshing
teeth of the ring and drive gears and spread it across the width of the teeth.
Fig. 90:

13. Enter NM diagnostics and select Cycle-Gantry Rotate from the diagnostic list. Enter 5
for number of cycles when asked by the system. This will cause the gantry to rotate 5
times back and forth between it’s minimum and maximum limits.

08.17
Part 2: Covers Removed Checks 5 95

14. The ring will first rotate CCW from the home position to it’s CCW end of travel. Point
the caulking gun at approximately the middle of the teeth (position 1 in the picture
above). Start dispensing a continuous bead of grease as soon as the gantry starts ro‐
tating CW for the first time. Continue dispensing the grease for one full revolution of
the ring. After the grease has been applied for one revolution, allow the ring to con‐
tinue rotating CW until it’s end of travel, then allow the ring to rotate CCW back to it’s
starting point.
15. The process of re-greasing a previously greased ring should consume approximately
1/3 of the tube of grease (corresponds to 65 - 74 mm or 2.5” - 3” of travel on the
caulking gun handle).

 If the ring starts out looking dry (typical if the previous grease application was inade‐
quate), then as much as 3/4 amount of the tube is needed.

16. Allow the ring to rotate back and forth between it’s limits four additional times until it
stops. These additional revolutions will act to mostly spread the grease across the full
width of the teeth. Much of the grease will be squeezed out onto the wipes below
while this is occurring.
17. Some dry spots may be present, use a brush and spread grease across full width of all
teeth. Use hand controller to rotate ring in increments of 20 to 30 degrees until the
entire ring is covered.
18. Wipe off any excess grease that may be present on the face of the ring, face of the
drive gear, or the frame. Clean up and discard the wipes that were placed on the
floor.
19. Reinstall the gear shroud covering the drive pinion gear.
20. In Diagnostics, run Cycle - Rotate.
21. Home system.
22. Reinstall covers.
