completed, the key must be removed and kept in a safe place.
VILLA SISTEMI MEDICALI won’t be held liable for any malfunctioning, damages or
dangers due to an improper use of the system or non compliant with the maintenance
rules.

ELECTRICAL SECURITIES
• Exclusively trained service personnel and authorized by VILLA SISTEMI MEDICALI
may remove the unit covers, according to the instructions herein contained.
• The x-ray unit may only be used in environments or medical rooms complying with
the applicable IEC standards.
• The x-ray unit must not be utilized in areas where exists danger of explosion.
• The cleaning and disinfection products, including the ones used for patients, may
create explosive and gaseous mixtures. Therefore, use only products in compliance
with the applying rules.
LASER TARGETING SECURITIES

• Keep always a good lightening on the room.
• Never look through the output window of the laser targeting.
• Never fix the reflections of the laser pointing.
• Before starting any examination, the patient must remove earrings, glasses,
necklaces and whatever could reflect the laser beam and be printed on the image.
• Not clean the openings of the laser targeting with tools that could modify the optics
of the laser targeting. Only the service personnel must perform eventual cleaning
actions.
• The minimum distance between laser source to the patient cannot be <20cm
• The activation of the procedures different from those above could cause
the emission not ionisating x-rays but dangerous.
MECHANICAL SECURITIES
• After the positioning of the system, fix the stationary brakes.
• For the unit movement, utilize exclusive the predisposed handles.
• Avoid collisions with obstacles.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)

According to the foreseen use, this apparatus is in compliance with the EMC applying rule,
Directive 89/336, that defines the allowed emission levels from electronic devices and the required
immunity against the electro-magnetic fields.
However, it’s not possible to exclude categorically that radio signals coming from transmitters,
such as mobile phones or similar mobile radio devices, themselves complying with the EMC
standards, may influence the correct functioning of the electromedical apparatus, if such devices
are utilized in proximity and with a relatively high transmitting power. Therefore, in order to evade
any risk of interference, the use of these radio equipment’s has to be avoided in proximity of
electronically controlled systems.
Explanation:
The electronic apparatus which meets the EMC standards has been designed so that, under
normal conditions, any malfunctioning risk, caused by electromagnetic interferences, is avoided.
However, should radio signals be present, coming from high frequency transmitters with a
relatively high transmitting power, used near the electronic apparatus, the risk of electromagnetic
incompatibility, cannot be controlled completely.
Any transmission with mobile radio equipment have to be avoided.

Mobile phones should be switched off in zones close to the unit.
These rules must be applied when the unit is switched on (that means when
the unit is connected to the mains, and ready to function)

IONIZING RADIATION PROTECTION

Before any x-ray exposure, ensure that all the necessary protection
precautions have been taken.
During the x-ray use the personnel present in the room must follow the applying rules concerning
the protection against radiation. For this purpose, please comply with the following rules:
• When necessary, utilize protective tools against radiation and in addition at the devices already
foreseen on the unit.
• Use the dedicated protective aprons. A material, protecting against radiation, equivalent to 0,35
mm. lead, lowers of 99,95% a radiation of 50 kV and of 94,5% a radiation of 100 kV.
• The best protection against radiation is distance: therefore keep as far as possible both from
the x-ray source and the exposure target. For this purpose, utilize all the cable length of the
foot-switch controlling x-ray in fluoroscopy, or the extendible cable of the x-ray manual key in
radiography.
• Avoid walking or standing in the direct x-ray beam.
• Always use the smallest exposure field possible, properly closing the collimator diaphragms.
Actually, the scattering radiation mainly depends on the volume of the irradiated object.
Never modify or disconnect the safety circuits foreseen for accidental

exposures.

GENERAL DISPOSAL

EXPOSURES
This section of the manual explains the functioning of the unit and the selection of the different
exposure modes.
Before any exposure, check out that all the necessary precautions against
radiation have been taken.
After a long period of un-use (3 months or more) it’s necessary to perform

the SETTING IN of the x-ray tube, in order to avoid any damage caused by
high voltage discharges; the setting in procedure is described in chapter
“TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS”.
Please ref. to chapter LEGENDA (PAG. 13, pict.3) for nomenclature and position of the controls; in
particular, ref. to par. CONTROL CONSOLE to identify the control buttons.
a) CONTINUOUS FLUOROSCOPY
1. Once the unit is switched on, the unit is predisposed to function with automatic dose control.
kV/mA value will be automatically set according to the patient under examination. “FLUORO”
is visualized on the left display, if the unit is predisposed only for the low dose functioning.
“LDF” appears if the unit is predisposed both for the low dose and for the high dose
functioning. “HDF” high dose selection has to be performed by the relating key (ref. to
pict.3, pos.9).
2. In order to operate with manual kV/mA mode, it’s necessary to press “manual fluoroscopy
selection” button and operate on the kV and mA increase / decrease buttons.
3. Exposure is controlled by the left footswitch, 1st step.
4. The x-ray emission is signalized by the lightening of the led located in the middle of the
control panel ( ref. to pict.3, pos.28) and by the luminous lamp placed on the monitor trolley.
5. During x-ray emission the following information are on the two displays:
left display: Indicating the x-ray tube heating capacity available in HU ...%. X-ray emission
is always possible between 1% and 100% of its capacity.
The alarm “ X-RAY TUBE TOO HOT” is displayed under 5%, in order to warn the doctor
that the heating capacity is worn out. The x-ray emission is interrupted under 1%, and it will
not be available anymore until 5% will be obtained at least. The tube cooling can happen
also with the unit switched off.
The thermal unit decrease depends on the selected radiological data.
right display; Indicating the effective working radiological parameters (Kv and mA), and the
exposure counting time (timer).
6. By the "recursive filter" key, the filter weight is selectable (K2 ÷ K16); if foreseen by the unit
the value is indicated on the console display, if not it is only displayed on the monitor.
7. Once the pedal is released, the monitor ML will visualize the last image hold.(LIH)
8. To store the live image of the ML monitor, on the MM memory monitor, it’s necessary to push
the “reference image storage” key, placed on the control panel (ref. to pict.3, pos.25) or,
while emitting, press the left footswitch 2nd step The number of memorizable frames depends
on the unit version, anyway, once the max. memory capacity is achieved, the first stored
image will be the first one to be eliminated and replaced by a new frame (frames memory
handling, type F.I.F.O.).
9. To recall the stored images, press the “stored images recall” key. (ref. to pict.3, pos.24).

Timer 5' - 99'
The timer purpose is to avoid an excessive x-ray dose to the patient and/or operator; the control
panel display indicates the values of the minutes and seconds of the accumulated emission in the
format : "MINUTI : SECONDI"
Each 5' the alarm gives a continuous warning signal that can be turned off acting on the “alarm
reset” button on the control console within 30 seconds, otherwise the x-ray emission will be
interrupted.
To restore the x-ray emission, it’s necessary to:
1. release the fluoroscopy footswitch;
2. push the “alarm reset” button (this way the emission time will remain accumulated) or, press
“fluoroscopy time reset” button (this way the emission time will start from zero).
Once the max. value of 99' is reached, x-ray emission will be interrupted; in this case, the
emission will be restored only resetting the emission timer pushing the “fluoroscopy time reset
key” of the control panel.

b) PULSED FLUOROSCOPY
1. The use of the pulsed fluoroscopy function can be performed both in automatic mode and in
manual one.
• Automatic: Press the “ Automatic selection” key ( ref. to pict.3, pos.9). kV and mA
radiological parameters will change according to the patient under examination.
• Manual: Press the “Manual selection” key (ref. to pict.3, pos.11). Kv and mA radiological
parameters have to be manually selected by the control keyboard.
2. Select pulsed fluoroscopy mode, pressing the “pulsed fluoroscopy selection” (ref. to pict.3,
pos.10) on the control panel. On the left display will appear “T=...sec” indicating the selected
rate. To modify the pulsed rate, push the “pulsed rate” key (ref. to pict.3, pos.10). The
pulsed rate increases every key pushing, changing the time frame between two flashes, it is
not possible to modify the x-ray time duration, which is of 400ms. The pulse rate varies from
one exposure per second, to one exposure per 6 seconds.
3. To control exposure, press the fluoroscopy foot-switch 1st step. X-ray emission is signalized
by the lighting of the led placed in the middle of the control panel (ref. to pict.3, pos.28) and
by the luminous lamp on the monitor trolley. (ref. to pict.5 pos.9)
On the ML reference monitor, the frame is updated every x-ray flash, while in the stand- by
time frame, the last image remains memorized.
4. To store the ML working monitor image on the MM memory monitor, press the “Image
storaging“ key, placed on the control console (ref. to pict.3, pos.25) or, while emitting, press
the left foot-switch 2nd step (it will store images as long as the 2nd step is pressed).
The number of memorizable images depends on the memory available on the unit, anyway
once the maximum storage capacity is achieved, the first stored image will be the first one to
be eliminated, and replaced by a new frame (F.I.F.O /First in-First out).
5. To recall the stored images press the “ stored images recall” key ( ref. to pict.3. pos.24).
C)”SNAP SHOT"
1. The snap shot function allows a high contrasted and no noisy image. mA values are always
associated to kV automatically, in order to guarantee the best result in any operating status.
The x-ray emission duration is approximately 1 second long.
The snap shot function use can be performed both in automatic mode and in manual one.
Automatic: press the “automatic selection” key (ref. to pict.3, pos.9).
kV and mA radiological parameters will change according to the patient under examination.
Manual: press the “manual selection” key (ref. to pict.3, pos.11)
kV radiological parameters have to be manually selected by the control keyboard. mA value is
always automatically connected in function of the selected kV.
2. No exposure mode pre-selection is required, as SS mode is immediately available by pushing
the corresponding footswitch.(ref. to pict.4. pos.2) The x-ray emission is signalized by the
lightening of the led placed in the middle of the control console (ref. to pict.3, pos.28)., by
the luminous lamp located on the monitor trolley.(ref. to pict.5, pos.9).
3. To store the image it’s necessary to push the “reference image storage” key, placed on the
control panel. The number of memorizable frames depends on the memory available on the
unit, anyway once the max. memory capacity is achieved, the first stored image will be the
first one to be eliminated and replaced by the new frame. (F.I.F.O. First in First out).
4. To recall stored images, press the “stored images recall” key. (ref. to pict.3, pos.24).

d) RADIOGRAPHY WITH CASSETTE

1. To install the 24x30cm cassette holder on the IB tube, fix the 2 locks, then block it screwing
the third lock with the proper handle. Insert the radiographic cassette.
2. Select the radiography mode by the key “radiography selection” on the console ( ref. to pict.3,
pos.12). On the left display on the console appears “RAD.”
3. Set the kV and mAs value operating on the corresponding keys on the control panel.(ref. to
pict.3, pos.5 and 6).
4. Utilize all the length of the extendible cable of the radiography switch in order to
stand as far as possible from the irradiated area.
Control radiography by the switch.(ref. to pict.2, pos.13)
The first step of the button controls the radiography preparation, bringing the filament tube to the
proper emission value.
Pushing deeply the button, the second step which controls the x-ray emission, is activated.
NOTE:
Keep it pushed until the end of exposure. If the radiography foot switch is released before the
required time, the x-ray emission is interrupted and the message “ MAN STOP RX" is displayed.
Emission is signalized by the acoustic signal of the Image Intensifier. (ref. to pict.3, pos.28)
5. At the end of exposure the control panel display indicates the time of the performed
exposures.

END OF USE
This part of the manual explains the procedures to be followed at the end of the use, in order to
guarantee the user’s safety and a long duration of the unit .
Never disconnect the cable between stand and trolley if the unit is not
turned off.

side).
7. Park the monitor trolley acting on the wheel brakes.

MAINTENANCE
This part of the manual explains the standard maintenance procedures required to assure the unit
reliability in the future.
In the Chapter 10 “Additional Information” of TECHNICAL MANUAL, VILLA SISTEMI MEDICALI
provides a Programmed Maintenance to be performed on the unit.
GENERAL WARNINGS
As any unit this system needs the following:
• a proper use;
• regular checks by the user;
• maintenance and repairings by the authorized staff.
Operational reliability of the unit is kept following these precautions.
VILLA SISTEMI MEDICALI S.p.A. can provide, on request, circuit drawings, parts list, adjustment
instructions or further information for the unit reparation.
As users of a x-ray unit it’s compulsory , according to the laws ruling the
medical devices, to follow these precautions.
The unit needs regular checks and maintenance. Aim of the following warnings is to keep a good

“Additional Information” of TECHNICAL MANUAL.

CLEANING:
Please consider the following information before choosing a detergent:
• Use only soap and water to clean plastic surfaces. In case of use of other detergents (for ex.
detergents with a high alcohol rate, corrosive lotions, abrasives and solvents), the material can
break or opacize.
• Brush with a humid cloth and with a soft cleaner to clean aluminum surfaces, then brush with a
dry wool cloth.
• For chromate surfaces, brush exclusively with dry wool cloth and don’t use any detergent.
• Never use high alcohol rate products, corrosive detergents, abrasives and solvents, to clean the
other surfaces of the unit.
To perform cleaning operations, strictly follow the following precautions:

• Turn the unit off, and disconnect the main supply cable.
• In order to prevent short circuits and corrosion of the electrical and electromechanical
components, ensure that no kind of liquid seeps into the unit.
DISINFECTION
For the unit and sterilizable drapes, the use of a liquid solution with aldehydical base or based on
ampholitical surface active agent (ex: TEGO 103,Korsolin) is recommended.
Substitutive disinfectants releasing chlorine or based on phenols must be avoided as they can
cause the material stuff weakening. The same restrictions are valid for non-dilute solutions with a
high alcohol rate. Don’t use disinfectant spray; this can pass through the unit damaging its safety.
(possible damages to electrical and electromechanical components, formation of inflammable
gaseous mixes and steam solutions.).
In case of use of disinfectiving products which create explosive aerated

mixtures, make sure that gasses have been scattered, before any x-ray
