2 Safety
For more information about general safety, see Instructions for Use.
2.1 Important safety directions

Philips Healthcare products are all designed to meet stringent safety standards. However, all medical
electrical equipment requires proper operation and maintenance, particularly with regard to human
safety.
It is vital that you read, note, and where applicable strictly observe all danger notices and safety mark-
ings on the system. It is vital that you follow strictly all safety directions, all warnings and all cautions
that are mentioned in this chapter and throughout the system documentation, to help ensure the safe
servicing and operating of the system, in order to protect the personal health of the FSEs, the opera-
tors and the patients.
In particular, you must read, understand and know the emergency procedures described in this chapter
before attempting to service the system.
Adequate training
Do not service the system until you are adequately and properly trained as a FSE. If you are not suffi-
ciently qualified DO NOT SERVICE THE SYSTEM. Servicing this system without proper and ade-
quate training could lead to fatal or other serious personal injury.
Intended use & compatibility

• Do not use the system for any purpose other than those for which it is intended.
• Do not use the system with any products other than those which Philips Healthcare recognizes as
compatible.
• Servicing or operating the system for unintended purposes, or with incompatible equipment, could
lead to fatal or other serious injury.
For more information about operating the system, please see the Instruction for Use.
When a safety test fails, mark the BV Family system as unsafe.
2.2 Safety instructions
2.2.1 Emergency procedures

In case of emergency, switch the system off.
Fig. 6: Emergency button
• Press the |EMERGENCY| button on the C-arm stand.

• Remove the mains power plug of the mobile viewing station from the socket outlet.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
When the BV Family system is switched off using the |EMERGENCY| button be aware that mains
power is still applied to some circuits in the system until the mains power plug of the mobile viewing
station is removed from the socket outlet.
2.2.2 Electrical safety

The BV Family system contains high power electrical components and must be serviced only by per-
sonnel familiar with its circuitry, operation and potentially dangerous components. You can be fatally
shocked by a discharging capacitor, high voltage cable or battery current, even when the mains power
cord is disconnected.
Dangerous voltages are present in the following areas of the system:
• High voltage generator
• High voltage cable
• X-ray tube assembly
• Image intensifier assembly - 25 000 to 30 000 VAC
• Batteries - max. 405 VDC in case of overcharge
• Mains control unit - 600 VAC
• SCPU-E connector X25 - 450 VAC
For your protection, always observe the following basic safety requirements:
• Follow the instructions and labels, which are attached to several system components.
• Ensure that the voltage and frequency rating of the power socket outlet matches the electrical rating
labels of the system.
• Use properly grounded power socket outlets.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
General electrical safety warnings

• Do not remove covers or cables from the system, unless expressly instructed to do so in this man-
ual. High electrical voltages are present within the system. Removing covers or cables could lead
to serious or fatal personal injury.
• Only use the system in rooms or areas that comply with all applicable laws (or regulations having
the force of law) concerning electrical safety for this type of system.
• Get someone to watch while you work near high voltages. That person must remain clear of all cir-
cuitry and be prepared to turn OFF the system and render aid in case of an emergency.
• Do not touch live parts (e.g. high voltage cables and large electrolytic capacitors) unless the sys-
tem is powered down and the live parts have been de-energized completely. High voltage cables
and large electrolytic capacitors can retain a dangerous static charge for long periods after power
is removed from the system. Large electrolytic capacitors can acquire a charge spontaneously
without contact with other circuitry.
• Remove all metal rings, watchbands and other jewelry before servicing the electrical system. Skin
burns can result when metal jewelry short circuits electrical currents from the system.
• Do not ship system batteries with exposed terminals. Only use factory-supplied shipping containers
that completely cover the terminals with insulating material and are strong enough to contain the
weight of the batteries during rough handling.
• Always first unplug the AC power cord before servicing the power supply.
• Leave the AC power cord connected to the (properly grounded) power socket outlet when servicing
drives, dims, chips or the system board.
• To prevent damage to electronic components from ESD, always wear a wrist strap when handling
drives, PCBs and other sensitive electronic equipment. In addition, use an approved anti-static
(ESD) mat. Try to handle PCBs by their edges and avoid touching electronic components, pins and
contacts.
• Always electrically isolate the system from the mains electrical supply before cleaning, disinfecting
or sterilizing it.
• BV Pulsera only: The battery voltage remains high at all times (310 V - 367 V), even when the
mains cable has been unplugged. Therefore, always disconnect both the mains cable and the bat-
tery cable before servicing the battery. Electric shock from batteries can cause death or personal
injury, including severe burns. Use extreme caution when working on circuits energized by or locat-
ed near the batteries. Batteries are dangerous at all times and cannot be quickly discharged like
capacitors.
• BV Pulsera only: When using an oscilloscope for measurements on the energy storage unit the os-
cilloscope must not be in contact with the mains earth.
2.2.2.1 Equipotential ground connection
This equipment may only be used in areas meeting local standards for electrical safety in rooms used
for medical purposes, for example the US National Electrical Code. IEC 60601 also gives guidance
about an equipotential ground (earth) connection point.
• An equipotential ground (earth) connection point and a connection cable are provided.
2.2.3 Transportation safety

When moving mobile or transportable devices, make sure you do not collide with/or run over objects
and/or persons. The user must be familiar with the brake system and all controls for steering before
moving the equipment.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
• Ensure that the system is in the transport position.

• Cross ramps, thresholds and obstacles as slowly as possible. Take extra care on steep slopes.
• Wheel brakes must always be applied when the device is stationary.
2.2.4 Mechanical safety
General mechanical safety warnings

• Switch system power OFF before you remove the covers from the BV Family system.
• Covers or cables should only be removed by qualified and authorized service personnel. In this
context, qualified means ‘those legally permitted to work on this type of medical electrical system in
the jurisdiction(s) in which the system is being used’, and authorized means ‘those authorized by
the user of the system’. Ordinary users should NEVER remove the covers themselves.
• After servicing the system, check for uncontrolled movement of the system when releasing the sys-
tem brakes.

recharging, the system lock is in the disabled position and the system lock key is removed to pre-
vent accidental radiation and movements.
2.2.5 Explosion safety

The system must not be serviced in the presence of explosive gases or vapours, such as certain an-
aesthetic gases. Servicing electrical equipment in an environment for which it was not designed can
lead to fire or explosion.
General explosion safety warning

Flammable or potentially explosive disinfecting sprays must not be used, since the resulting vapour
could ignite, causing fatal or other serious personal injury and/or damage to equipment.
2.2.6 Fire safety

Servicing electrical equipment in an environment for which it was not designed can lead to fire or ex-
plosion. Fire regulations for the type of medical area being used, should be fully applied, observed and
enforced. Fire extinguishers should be provided for both electrical and non-electrical fires.
General fire safety warning

Only use extinguishers on electrical or chemical fires which are specifically labelled for those purpos-
es. Using water or other liquids on an electrical fire can lead to fatal or other serious personal injury.
If it is safe to do so, attempt to isolate the equipment from electrical and other supplies before attempt-
ing to fight a fire. This will reduce the risk of electric shocks.
2.2.7 Mobile telephone & similar products

The Philips BV Family system complies with the requirements of applicable EMC standards. Other
electronic equipment exceeding the limits defined in such EMC standards, such as certain mobile tele-
phones, could, under unusual circumstances, affect the operation of the system.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
EMC: cell phone radiation warning

Do not allow any portable radio transmitting devices (such as mobile telephones) into the proximity of
the system - whether the device is switched ON or OFF. Such devices could exceed EMC radiation
standards and, under unusual conditions, interfere with the proper functioning of the system. This
could, in extreme cases, lead to fatal or other serious personal injury or to clinical mistreatment when
the system is in use.
2.2.8 Electromagnetic compatibility

The Philips BV Family system complies with the requirements of applicable EMC standards. Emissions
of electromagnetic interference (radiated or conducted) do not exceed permitted levels, and the system
is also resistant to interference from other equipment within these levels. Refer to Instructions for Use,
chapter Technical Data.
EMC: general radiation warning

All surrounding equipment must comply with the EMC standards for emissions and sensitivity to emis-
sions. Equipment which does not comply, may interfere with the proper functioning of the system. This
could, in extreme cases, lead to fatal or other serious personal injury or to clinical mistreatment when
the system is in use.
2.2.9 Radiation safety
X-ray radiation safety warnings

• Only qualified and authorized personnel may operate this equipment. In this context, qualified
means ‘those legally permitted to operate this type of medical electrical system in the jurisdiction(s)
in which the system is being used’, and authorized means ‘those authorized by the user of the sys-
tem’.
• FSEs servicing and users operating the system must observe all laws and regulations which have
the force of law within the jurisdiction(s) concerned. If there is any doubt about these laws and reg-
ulations, it is not allowed to service the system.
• The X-ray tube produces potentially dangerous ionizing X-radiation when it is energized. Never op-
erate the system carelessly or without X-ray shielding in place. Before producing X-ray make sure
that the X-ray shielding of the system, e.g. the X-ray tank cover, is not damaged. Use lead aprons,
eye protection, thyroid protection and other similar devices to protect yourself and others.
• NEVER attempt to remove, modify, override or frustrate any safety device on the system. Interfer-
ing with safety devices could lead to fatal or other serious personal injury.
• BV Pulsera only: Make sure that, when the system is parked and connected to the mains for re-
charging, the system lock is in the disabled position and the system lock key is removed to prevent
accidental radiation and movements.
In addition, users are strongly urged to acquaint themselves with the current recommendations of the
International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), and in the United States, with those of
the US National Council on Radiological Protection (NCRP).
• ICRP, for more information visit: www.icrp.org
• NCRP, for more information visit: www.ncrp.com
Full use must be made of all radiation protection features on the system, and of all radiation protection
devices, accessories, systems and procedures available to the FSE.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
2.2.9.1 Radiation guidelines
Use of controls, adjustments or procedures other than those specified in this manual may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
Try to obey to the following rules when performing radiation:

• Do not radiate when not necessary.
• Radiate for as short a time as possible.
• Use automatic dose rate control whenever possible.
• Stay as far away as possible from the radiated object/X-ray source.
• Wear lead aprons and other protective clothing as appropriate.
• Use badges to monitor the radiation levels received.
• Use LDF as much as possible instead of HDF to reduce dose.
• Collimate as much as possible using the pre-indicators (on the LIH image).
• Focal spot to skin (object) distance should be kept as large as possible to reduce the absorbed dose.
• Remove all supplementary obscuring objects from primary beam (this includes the hands of the user).
• In principle, the X-ray source should be placed under table to reduce scattered radiation resulting in
extra safety for physician and staff.
• Take into account any adverse effects that may arise due to materials located in the X-ray beam, for
example, the operating table.
• The mobile viewing station must be positioned so that the radiation indicator on the mobile viewing sta-
tion is visible to all persons at all positions in the room.
2.2.10 Laser Light radiation safety

The laser lights in the Laser Alignment Tool (LAT), the LAT (II) and 3D laser should only be used under
supervision of a medically trained person with knowledge of the hazards implied by the use of laser
light. It is the responsibility of the FSE to fulfill the local safety regulations regarding laser light radia-
tion.
Laser light radiation safety warnings

• Class II (FDA), do not stare into beam / Class 3R laser (IEC), avoid direct eye exposure.
• The laser must not be switched on without purpose, and unnecessary exposure must be avoided.
• CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
2.2.11 Safety label positioning

2.2.12 Liquids and safety
• Prior to cleaning the system, always unplug the AC power cord from the power socket outlet.
• Only use a dry or lightly damped cloth to clean the system. Prevent any liquids from leaking into
the system where they can cause electric shock, fires and short circuits. If such a leakage does
occur, ensure that the internal circuitry of the system is completely dry before attempting to operate
the system.
• Never store or operate the system in the presence of conductive fluids, like water or saline solu-
tion, unless the system is adequately protected by an approved bagging or draping system. Con-
ductive fluids can leak into unprotected areas, causing electric shock, fires and short circuits.

LDF Manual kV Dose A
HDF Manual kV Dose B
LDF Automatic kV Dose C
HDF Automatic kV Dose D
NOTICE
LDF mode: left button, normal fluoro.
HDF mode: right button (audible signal), boost fluoro or pulsed exposure.
Step 2 - Enter the legal limits A, B, C D in the corresponding fields (refer to the written values in table
'Legal dose limits').
Step 3 - Enter the legal limits A, B, C D in the corresponding fields.
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Step 4 - Restart the system. The system now automatically calculates which is the max-allowed kV
value for a certain X-ray mode, being the minimum level of the LDF and HDF kV limit (left and right
button have the same kV limit).
Step 5 – Check whether the system complies with the local regulations;
For manual mode - Put 5 mm lead on II surface. Set kV manual to max possible value. Confirm by
measuring that the dose output at legal position is below the limit for both LDF and HDF. Repeat this
procedure for all Xray modes (LDF, HDF, and Pulsed exposure) and all exam types.
For automatic modes - Put 5 mm lead on II surface. Perform fluoroscopy until system stabilizes.
Confirm by measuring that the dose output at legal position is below the limit for both LDF and HDF.
Repeat this for all X-ray modes (LDF, HDF, and Pulsed exposure) and all exam types.
NOTICE
For pulsed exposure modes (BV Pulsera only): in cases where the max kV setting is well below 110
kV, fieldservice is advised to limit the max pulsed frame to 15 frames / s instead of the default 30
frames / s in the BV-Scope menu. This should then give a full kV range up to 110 kV.
The hospital application specialist has to be consulted before the action.
NOTICE
The left and right buttons (LDF and HDF) have the same kV limit. This means that in cases where the
max kVis limited only by the HDF dose limit, the LDF mode will be limited too. When this is unwanted,
it is also possible to completely disable HDF mode in the BV-Scope menu. This should then give a full
kV range up to 110 kV.
In case of doubt contact the hospital application specialist.
NOTICE
Perform the procedures in the section ’Maximum patient entrance dose’.

5.2.6 Maximum patient entrance dose rate verification

The maximum patient entrance dose is in many countries limited by law. The maximum output of the
BV Family system meets the American HHS regulations. To ensure a BV Family system operates ac-
cording to local regulations of other countries, it is possible to limit the maximum possible dose output
of the system.
In order to meet the approval/approbation requirements for HHS, the maximum exposure rate at any
combination of tube voltage and current must be less than 10 R/min. Two exceptions are allowed:
• During recording of images using a video camera, when the X-ray source is used in pulsed mode with
a duration less than one half second.
• When High Definition Fluoroscopy is activated, indicated by a continuous audible signal, the maximum
exposure rate at any combination of tube potential and current should be less than 20 R/min.
The BV Family system is allowed to produce up to 90% (=Rejection limit) of the maximum permitted
patient entrance dose. The measuring instrumentation should therefore have a combined accuracy <=
10%.
