2 TRANSPORT, UNPACKING
NOTE
The unpacking procedures described in this chapter can also be find in a separate unpacking document,
which is packed inside the crate.
2.3 TOOLS
• The standard tool kit.
NOTE
1. The packed system has to be transported with a dedicated forklift to move the pallet towards its
destination. At its destination, the crate must be dismantled by respectively removing the front panel, the
left and right side panels, and the back panel. Subsequently, the support constructions inside the crate
must be consecutively removed. After the system is loosened from the bottom panel, it can be driven out.
This is done in two stages: first the C-arm stand and finally the MVS.
2.4.2 To remove the front side panels and prepare an extended platform
2.4.3 Drive out the C-arm stand and the MVS from the bottom panel
To drive out the C-arm stand and the MVS from the bottom panel, preparations have to be taken. A ramp
panel is mounted on the inner side of the side panel that is located next to the C-arm stand. The ramp panel is
used together with its side panel to drive out the C-arm stand and the MVS.
To prepare the extended platform for later usage:
1. Take out the extended platform support beam by unscrewing it from the bottom panel.
2. Remove the screws that fix the ramp panel to the side panel.
NOTE
1. Check the quantity and the contents of the boxes for the following supplied loose items:
• Instructions for Use (IfU), 0-level Documentation Part 1, 0-level Documentation Part 2, 0-level
Documentation Part 3, SMCM and Product Manuals.
• Foot switch.
• Possible other options (cassette holder, steralisable covers orto trac, etcetera)

3 INSTALLATION
3.1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes the on-site installation activities for a BV Family system. Perform the appropriate
instructions for the relevant BV Family system (BV Endura or BV Pulsera).
NOTE
When the system is stored in a cold environment for a long period of time, the system needs sufficient time in
the room the system is used. To prevent condensation water entering the transformer and PCB.
• For other voltages, add the new label delivered with the system indicating the programmed voltage.
• Check if the fuse rating is properly crossed out (IEC requirement).
Figure 1 MCU: Connector WA1X7 connected to X5. Transformer leads connected for 120 V.
1). If the fuse rating is changed: cross out the incorrect fuse rating on the label next to the fuses.
2). The fuses F1 and F2 should be 30 A for the BV Endura when the Radiography mode is enabled.
6. BV Pulsera: Check or position the jumpers on the SEA2 board (figure 3) for 50 or 60 Hz, (the jumper in the
highest position is 50 Hz, in the lowest position is 60 Hz). See the settings in table 2.
CAUTION
NOTE
CAUTION
Never extend or replace the special type hospital mains supply cable of the BV Family system. The cable is
subject to legal requirement.
CAUTION
The hospital mains plug must be ‘‘Hospital Grade’’ in the USA and Canada. In other countries, the plug must
comply with local safety regulations. For further information, see 0-level Documentation Part 3, chapter
‘‘Technical Data’’.
4 SETTING TO WORK
4.1.2.1 General
1. Click |SETUP| in the Patient administration panel of the MVS. The Setup panel appears.
Perform the BV-Scope procedures below for the relevant BV Family system (BV Endura or BV Pulsera).
NOTE
Only carry out the X-ray tube conditioning procedure if the X-ray tank has been out of use for a longer period
of time (about 3 months), has been replaced or arcs too much (more than 3 times a day).
NOTE
To allow for re-configuring the DICOM workflow interface, see the site survey data obtained from the user via
the DICOM workflow interface questionnaire (see 0-level Documentation Part 2, chapter "DICOM
questionnaire").
DICOM (Digital COmmunication in Medicine) is a protocol for communication between medical devices.The
DFI of an Endura or Pulsera communicates via DICOM with the network of a hospital. The DFI sends images
acquired with an Endura or Pulsera together with information of patients, acquisition data etc. to a network
target.
Devices on this network can be:
• Printers
• Archives to archive images and data, for example PACS.
• Workstations for analyzing of images.
• WLM servers (Worklist Management), for planning of examinations of patients.
• MPPS (Modality Performed Procedure Step), to report the status of performed examinations.
• A service PC for configuration of the devices connected to the network.
With certain functions of the user interface of the BV Family, the images and data on the DFI can be sent to
the above-mentioned devices on the network. All functions are optional.
See the IfU of the BV Family system for more information on these functions.
/i
In DICOM terms, the BV Family system is called the modality. Printers, archives, workstations, WLM/MPPS
servers are called targets and functions are called application entities (AE).
The following procedure applies when a new patient enters the hospital:
1. The data of a patient will be entered in a Hospital Information System (HIS) or a Radiology Information
System (RIS). In case of an emergency, this step can be omitted.
2. On a WLM server, the examinations a patient has to follow have to be scheduled.
3. When a certain examination on a modality has been performed, the status will be reported to an MPPS.
4. The data and images of each examination can be printed, stored or sent to a workstation.
5. Images that are manipulated on a workstation can eventually be printed and/or be stored from the
workstation.
6. To be sure images are stored safely, a storage commitment procedure is used. Images that are sent from
a modality to the storage device are only deleted on the modality if the storage device gives commitment.
This commitment will only be given if the images are stored safely on the storage device.
This chapter describes the order for configuration of the BV Family system for DICOM networking. Described
are:
• System configuration: configuration of the DICOM settings of the BV Family system.
• Configuration of DICOM storage targets: steps needed to add DICOM storage (export) targets (the targets
can be devices as printers, archives, workstations, WLM servers, MPPS).
• Loading of pre-configured printer types: required before adding DICOM print targets.
• Configuration of DICOM print targets: steps needed to add DICOM print targets.
For an overview of all terms and definitions that are used in relation to DICOM functionality, see 0-level
Documentation Part 3, chapter "Terms and abbreviations".

4.2.5.1 Introduction
The procedure below has to be followed to install new printers or new versions of software for printers. For all
DICOM Printer types supported by the BV Family system, pre-defined (default) values for all printer
parameters have been specified in the printer types file.
There are 3 different kinds of printer parameters:
• Printer parameters that can be modified in BV-Scope by both the administrator and the Philips Service
engineer. In the printer types file all possible values are defined, the first value is the default value
(example: "Film Orientation").
• Printer parameters that can be modified in BV-Scope by the Philips Service engineer only. To modify these
parameters detailed knowledge of DICOM print is required. In the printer types file all possible values are
defined, the first value is the default value (example: ‘‘Magnification Type’’).
• Printer parameters that cannot be modified. The value in the printer types file is fixed.
Before DICOM print targets can be configured, the pre-configured printer types have to be loaded into the
system. Only DICOM printers that make use of the pre-defined printer types can be configured on the BV
Family system.
4.2.5.2 Preconditions
The DICOM printer types file must be available on the service PC. The printer types file (dicom.ptf) can be
found on the BV Family Software cd-rom.

8. Click |OK|. The target is saved in the BV Family system and is immediately visible in the Export panel of
the user interface of the MVS (without rebooting).
NOTE
After configuring a print target, select a representative image on the MVS and print it. If the result is not
acceptable: change the relevant settings for the print target.
NOTE
It is possible to define two separate DICOM print targets that make use of the same physical DICOM
printer. This can be useful when for example the user wants to have one print target that prints the images
on the film in a landscape format and one that prints the images in a portrait format. The "Film orientation"
cannot be selected in the Export panel on the user interface of the MVS but by defining two separate print
targets, it is still possible to support both.
4.2.7.1.1 Introduction
With the function Worklist query definition, queries can be predefined to search on a worklist management
server. A maximum of 4 queries can be predefined. These queries can be used to search the worklist server
for examination entries scheduled for the BV Family system. The function Worklist query definition is not
available for the BV-Scope administrator (= access level A).
4.2.7.1.2 Preconditions

6. Click |OK|. The BV-Scope menu tree appears.
4.2.8.1 Introduction
Both DICOM storage and DICOM print actions can be performed when the system is not connected to the
network. Therefore, the images to be exported or printed will be stored in a queue on the BV Family system.
When the BV Family system is connected to a network, all prepared export and/or print sessions can be
started by one simple action (with the |RESUME| button in the Export panel on the user interface of the MVS).
When an export/print session fails (for example when the DICOM storage target is not available), the prepared
export/print session will be kept in the queue on the BV Family system.
When a problem with one or more DICOM targets persists, it is possible the queue on the BV Family systems
gets full. Therefore, it is possible to access the DICOM queue via BV-Scope. In BV-Scope each export/print
session can be selected, the detailed information can be viewed and the entry can be removed from the
queue.
3. In the DICOM Queue Management Reference panel select a queue entry. The Reference panel lists all
export and print sessions that are currently in the queue.
4. In the DICOM Queue Management Settings panel select Yes to remove the queue entry.
5. Repeat step 3 and 4 to delete other queue entries.
6. Click |OK|.
3. In the setiings window, select " YES" if you want to empty the schedule list and select OK
4. A warning message appears , select YES if you want to delete the patient schedule list
4.2.10 Faultfinding
The faultfinding procedures described in this chapter can be used if problems occur during installation of the
BV Family system.
NOTE
The "Association Close Time-out" in the Network Configuration is default set to 1 second. Changing this value
might cause incorrect behavior of the export functionality of the BV Family system in case the transfer is
aborted and resumed. Therefore, do not change this value unless advised by the X-ray Helpdesk.
4.3 CUSTOMIZATION
The BV Family systems can be customized upon request of the user, according the guidelines in the IfU
section "User Customization".
NOTE
In the factory the system settings have been configured based on default values. This check is a check on
these default values only.
Perform the Program Manual procedures for (configuration and examination of) default programming. A
requirement is that the service PC is configured properly (see 0-level Documentation Part 3, chapter
"Software installation").
4. Click |INFO|. A panel appears that gives a survey of installed and not installed options.
/i
1). Changing the Analog Video Output frequency has influence on the optional MDVDR settings and vice
versa. The default settings for Analoge Video Output is 50Hz and for the optional MDVDR is DFI-III 50 Hz. For
example, when it is necessary for some reasons to change the Video Output frequency to 60 Hz, it is also
required to adapt the settings for the MDVDR. In this case the settings for the MDVDR must be DFI-III 60 Hz.
Refer to section 4.3.3.2 for customizing the MDVDR.
* Determines which regulations apply for the dose display and fluoroscopy timers.
NOTE
The external Video input is automatically set to the same frequency as the Analog Output has been
progammed.

NOTE
If the system password has been lost, a BV-Scope administrator or a Philips service engineer can create
a new password.
4.3.2.4 ViewForum
See the separate manual of the ViewForum.
For details about how to customize the user printer, see the product manual of the printer.
NOTE
Write down changed values in the IfU section "User changed APF settings". Make a copy of the new values
on disk.
NOTE
When the system is delivered, initially the software license string has already been entered in the factory. The
form showing the license string is shipped together with the system. This form should be filed in the 0-level
Documentation Part 2 as a contract document.
The dose-limiting feature depends on a correctly calibrated system, including a calibrated dose output
indication. To carry out the dose limiting procedures, it is essential to have a calibrated dosimeter available.
After completing the procedure, it is necessary to check the results with the dosimeter again.
The limits for dose output measured at 30 cm before the Image Intensifier are:
/i
The system has to comply with the above HHS/IEC regulations, there is no need for measuring the dose at
legal position. Just make sure that all figures, as mentioned in the tables below, are entered or set by default
(see chapter 4.6.1).
/i
Figure 15 Install > Adjustment > X-ray Tube > Dose Limiting panel (BV Endura) (step 1 of 1)
Figure 16 Install > Adjustment > X-ray Tube > Dose Limiting panel (BV Pulsera) (step 1 of 1)
Step 1 - Place the dose probe at the legal required position (for example 30 cm from the centre of the
entrance screen of the II for HHS and Japan). Measure the dose output and enter the measured value in the
corresponding field.
/i
Mode Limit name Required legal limit (uGy / s) Limit for Japan (uGy / s)
LDF manual kV Dose A 833
HDF manual kV Dose B 2083
LDF automatic kV Dose C 833
HDF automatic kV Dose D 2083
NOTE
Step 2 - Write down the maximum dose output values permitted by local regulations in the table below
(1 mR / min = 0.1456 uGy / s; 1 uGy/s = 6.87 mR / min)
Step 3 - Enter the legal limits A, B, C D in the corresponding fields.
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.
NOTE
For pulsed exposure modes (BV Pulsera only): in cases where the max kV setting is well below 110 kV,
field service 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.
NOTE
The left and right buttons (LDF and HDF) have the same kV limit. This means that in cases where the max kV
is 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.
The hospital application specialist has to be consulted before any action
5 3D-RX CONFIGURATION
6.1 INTRODUCTION
After setting to work, a number of performance checks have to be carried out to ensure that the BV Family

8 HAND-OVER PROCEDURE
8.1 INTRODUCTION
After the BV Family system has been unpacked, installed, set to work and the performance has been
checked, the owner and the service engineer have made sure that the system is operating in accordance with
the specifications. This section describes the evaluation of the results of the witnessed performance checks
and enables the owner and/or user to accept the system accordingly.
According the IEC standard it is required to check the performances at a regular basis. It should be advised,
due to the specialistic knowledge, the special environment necessary (to be able to do the performance
checks) and the special tools & test equipment required, to have these services rendered by the supplier of
the system. For this reason PMS has developed a general planned maintenance service contract including a
regular (image) performance check program.
