1.2 UTILIZATION PURPOSES AND EQUIPMENT OPERATING LIFE
JOLLY Plus DR series is composed, depending on power, by following models:

- Model 4 kW - fixed anode
- Model 20 kW - rotating anode
- Model 30 kW - rotating anode
The mobile equipment is suitable for many medical applications and is supposed to be used by
qualified people only, duly trained and informed about the risks deriving from Ionogenic radiations.
This system is not included in the list of devices requiring continuity of operation. This system does
not come into contact with the patient, only some parts of the device may accidentally touch the
patient. The contact with the operator is contemplated during the equipment operation. The contact
with the patient is non-invasive. The contact with the operator is required for reasons depending on
the equipment utilization.
The equipment has been specifically designed for radiological examinations and diagnostic
investigations carried out in Hospitals and Medical Centres. It is suitable for operation in:
- Respiratory System investigations
- Skeleton investigations
- Sport Medicine
- Paediatrics Orthopaedics
- First-Aid Stations
- Plaster Room
- Operating Theatre
- Traumatology
The typical range of using estimate is from 20 exposure per day to 150 exposure per day (1 day
= 24 hours period).
For paediatric applications are provided specific additional filters, to obtain a filtering
not less than 0.1 mm Cu or 3.5 mm Al
1.2.1 EQUIPMENT LIFE
The average life of this equipment depends on the life of the X-ray tube installed in the
monobloc. The compliance with the instructions of this Manual will make it possible to get the
maximum life duration of the X-ray tube. It is not always possible to know in advance when the X-ray
tube’s operation life is coming to an end. This component could even stop operating during the
examination of a patient. For this reason, it is recommended to check the focal spot yearly, in order to
find if there is any degradation of the anode, indicated by the increase of the focal spot dimension and
consequent worse image resolution.
The main causes of early wear and damages to the X-ray tube are:
- Filament prolonged heating
- Discharges in the tube
- Tube over current

- Cold anode overcharge, caused by excessive loads after a long period of inactivity, with
consequent cratering of the track.
Here below how to limit untimely wear and damages to the monobloc:
1. The X-ray tube preheating cycle avoids the overheating since the tube reaches the
operating temperature slowly.
IF A HIGH VALUES EXPOSURE IS STARTED WHEN THE X-RAY TUBE IS STILL COLD, THE
ANODE COULD BE IRREPARABLY DAMAGED.
THE TUBE FORMATION PROCEDURE MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO REDUCE THE PROBABILITIES

OF DISCHARGE.
2. If a high values exposure is started when the device has not been used for a long time,
the X-ray tube could be irreparably damaged.
3. The X-ray tube overcharge is avoided by the software control on the preset kVp and mAs
values. The system prevents the exposure if these values exceed the maximum values
provided for the X-ray tube.
4. Filament temperature preparation. It is recommended to effect the preparation only
when the patient is positioned for the examination.

DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. ALWAYS CHECK THE CONDITION OF THE DIFFERENTIAL SWITCH
AND OF THE EQUIPMENT SUPPLY CABLE.
THE SYSTEM MUST NOT BE USED IN THE PRESENCE OF ANY ELECTRICAL, MECHANICAL OR
RADIOLOGICAL FAULTS.
THE EQUIPMENT MUST ALSO NOT BE USED IF ANY OF THE WARNING OR ALARM DEVICES
MALFUNCTIONS.
THIS DEVICE IS CONNECTED WITH A PROTECTIVE GROUND DURING OPERATION. FOR THE
PATIENT’S AND THE OPERATOR’S SAFETY, ONLY DEVICES COMPLYING WITH THE SAFETY
STANDARDS, SUITABLE FOR DEVICES IN PERFECT OPERATING CONDITIONS, MUST BE USED.
THIS SYSTEM HAS NOT BEEN DESIGNED TO WORK NEAR A DEFIBRILLATOR.

NEVER USE A DEFIBRILLATOR ON A PATIENT IN CONTACT WITH THE MOBILE RADIOGRAPHIC
EQUIPMENT. THIS SYSTEM MUST BE HANDLED AS A CONDUCTIVE SURFACE AND POSITIONED
AS FAR AS POSSIBLE FROM THE PATIENT BEFORE EFFECTING A DEFIBRILLATION. IF ANY PART
OF THE DEVICE IS IN CONTACT WITH THE PATIENT WHEN USING THE DEFIBRILLATOR, THE
TENSION CAN GO THROUGH THE PATIENT’S BODY AND REACH THE SYSTEM. THIS CAN
ENDANGER ANYBODY COMING INTO CONTACT WITH THE SYSTEM AND ALSO DAMAGE THE
EQUIPMENT. ALWAYS REFER TO THE OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANY DEFIBRILLATOR
USED ON A PATIENT BEING RADIOGRAPHED WITH THIS DEVICE.

1.9.4 PROTECTION FROM RADIATION

IT IS NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND RADIATIONS PROTECTION
STANDARDS OF EACH SINGLE COUNTRY, SINCE THE RADIATIONS HAVE A HARMFUL EFFECT ON
THE HUMAN BODY.
SINCE THE EQUIPMENT EMITS X-RAYS, IT CAN ENDANGER THE OPERATOR AND THE PATIENT,
IF THE EXPOSURE PARAMETERS ARE NOT RESPECTED.
• During the performance of diagnostic examinations scattered radiations are always

present. For this reason it is absolutely necessary to use an X-ray protection. The
operator is supposed to inquire if the patient is pregnant. Should the presence of a third
person be required, this must also wear the anti-X protection, like the operator and the
patient.
• It is possible to have an additional protection against radiations if using a two-step push-
button connected to the control console by means of an extensible cable, featuring an
extension of about 4 meters.
• Even if this equipment gives a high level of protection against X-rays, no device can
assure a complete protection.
• It is the operator’s task to take all the safety measures required to avoid any personal
and other people’s risk, coming from a wrong or excessive exposure to Ionogenic
radiations.
• All the operators must receive a sufficient training and take the suitable safety measures
to avoid any injury.
• It is highly recommended to use all the different protection devices available on the
market.
• The X-ray beam can go beyond the main protective shielding. Use radiographic cassettes
or digital receptors with leaded support.
• Do not stand behind the receptor or on the X-ray beam line.
• Only the patient can stay in the examination room during the X-ray exposure. If the
operator or another person presence is required, they must wear a leaded apron
according to the safety rules.
• Use the greatest possible distance between the focal spot and the skin to give the patient
the minimum dose.
1.9.5 RESIDUAL RISKS
BMI produce advanced radiographic systems as far as safety and protection of the environment
are concerned. Therefore, if the unit is used correctly, there is no risk to people and environment.
Concerning the risks due to incorrect use of the unit, please refer to the directions and the
recommendations given above. We point out that the unit has been designed to prevent its
overturning up to 10° tilting with respect to the horizontal in transport position.
The following is therefore recommended:

• Do not stop, do not move and do not park the unit on planes having an inclination
greater than 10°.
• Do not try to move the unit without operating on the special “brakes release” handle
• When displacing the unit is careful if there is any obstacle on the floor (cables, steps,
little drops or rises) concerning the residual risks due to any defect of the adopted
protective measures, we remind you that the protection against electric shocks is realized
through an earth connection of the unit metallic parts.
• It is therefore necessary to check periodically the correct operation of the whole earth
circuit, according to the ordinal maintenance schedule described in this manual.
TO IGNORE AND NOT TO COMPLY WITH THE UNIT ALARMS COULD CAUSE AN OVERHEATING OF
THE X-RAY MONOBLOC. THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF THE MONOBLOC
INSULATION AND IN DAMAGE TO THE X-RAY TUBE. WHEN MOVING THE UNIT, BE CAREFUL
NOT TO HIT THE PATIENT OR THE OPERATOR. DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT TOO QUICKLY; THE
ACCUMULATED KINETIC ENERGY COULD HAZARD THE PERSONNEL NEXT TO THE EQUIPMENT.
SHOULD ANY ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE INFLUENCE THE EQUIPMENT OR BE CAUSED

BY IT, ASK FOR ASSISTANCE. THE PORTABLE RF EQUIPMENT MAY ALTER THE ELECTRO-
MEDICAL EQUIPMENT.

1.10 ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
This electronic equipment complies with EMC 2014/30/EU Directive, defining the maximum
emission levels allowed for the electronic equipment and the required immunity against
electromagnetic field.
This, however, does not exclude that signals coming from transmitters, like mobile phones or
similar mobile radio transmitters, even if complying with EMC standards, can influence the correct
operation of the Electro medical equipment if used nearby and with a quite high transmitting power. It
is therefore necessary to avoid using these radio transmitters near electronically controlled medical
systems, to exclude any interference.
The electronic unit complying with EMC standards has been designed to avoid any risk of
malfunctioning caused by electromagnetic interferences, when working in standard conditions.
However, the radio signals coming from high frequency transmitters at a quite high transmitting
power, if used near the electronic equipment, may cause electromagnetic incompatibility. Any
transmission with mobile radio transmitter must be avoided.
The mobile phones must be off in the area near the unit. These rules must be complied with
when the unit is working.
In the following pages, please find the EMC Certificate issued by the Italian notified body IMQ.

2.2 DAILY X-RAY TUBE WARM-UP PROCEDURE
THE IONOGENIC RADIATIONS PRODUCED BY THIS EQUIPMENT CAN BE DANGEROUS TO THE

PATIENT AND THE OPERATOR. STRICTLY COMPLY WITH THE SAFETY RULES IN FORCE.
REMEMBER TO PRE-SET THE LARGE FOCUS FOR ALL RADIOGRAPHIC EXPOSURES AND TO
CLOSE COMPLETELY THE X-RAY COLLIMATOR LEAD BLADES, IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE
SAFETY LEVEL AGAINST IONOGENIC RADIATIONS.
Assumed that this procedure will reduce the possibility of damaging the X-ray tube anode and the
high voltage components in the monobloc, BMI suggest using this procedure when the equipment is
first turned ON for the day, or when it has not been used for more than 24 hours. No test setup is
required.

2.3 X-RAY TUBE FORMATION
This procedure is required only when the Device has not been used continuously for 1 month
after the installation date or if the equipment has not been used continuously for more than 1 month
in the Hospital department.
Forming the monobloc’s X-ray tube prevents it from damages. The X-ray tube formation
procedure consists in making radiographic exposures, according to below reported chart.
For each Device model all the radiographic exposures should be taken using only the X-ray tube
large focus. BMI suggest taking all the radiographic exposures closing the entire X-ray collimator
leaded shutter. The X-ray tube formation procedure will take approximately one hour.
THE IONOGENIC RADIATIONS PRODUCED BY THIS EQUIPMENT CAN BE DANGEROUS TO THE

PATIENT AND THE OPERATOR. STRICTLY COMPLY WITH THE SAFETY RULES IN FORCE.
REMEMBER TO SHUT THE X-RAY COLLIMATOR LEAD BLADES TO INCREASE THE SAFETY LEVEL
AGAINST IONOGENIC RADIATIONS.
Perform some exposures of 500 ms and 25 mA (with a break of 1 minute in between) starting
from 70 kV with increase of 5 kV up to 110 kV.
If during an exposure instability occurs, decrease of 5kV the voltage value and perform two
exposures; then he procedure keeps on.
Wait at least 30 minutes (refer to heating & cooling curves) before performing other exposures.
If no anomalies are found, Device is now ready to be used.

2.7 COLLIMATOR
The Device is supplied with a manual, compact X-ray collimator.

The X-ray field is defined by lead-lined shutters located near the exit window of the X-ray beam
and by a cone (near the focus) limiting the X-ray beam to the larger field size.
The shutters are manually controlled by two knobs available on the collimator front panel.
The X-ray collimator can be rotated ± 90° around its vertical axis, just gripping the handle. The
collimator rotation travel is stopped by a mechanical retainer.
Before making a radiographic exposure set the shutters in the correct position, using the X-ray
field light beam on the anatomic body part to be examined. Comply with the maximum admitted
distance value between the monobloc and the patient’s body.
Additional information can be found in the collimator manual, supplied with the equipment.

3.3 CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Do not use any corrosive or abrasive product or solvent to clean the unit surfaces. To disinfect
the system always comply with the rules in force regarding disinfection procedures and protection
against explosion. For cleaning and disinfection operations, following precautions have to be complied
with:
• Switch OFF the equipment and disconnect the supply cable plug from the socket.
• Be sure that no liquid is poured inside the equipment in order to prevent short circuits and the
corrosion of the electric and electromechanical components.
• Never spray or squirt the liquids directly onto the displays.
• Be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals when you use it for the sake of
cleaning.
• Some person may be allergic to the ingredients used to prepare the cleaning products.
• Don’t try to put any food, drink or cigarette around the equipment, especially on the monitors.
Keep in mind that some components used to clean the monitors may only be able to be cleaned
using a product designed for cleaning that component, if this is the case it will be mentioned in the
cleaning tips:
• Cloth - A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing up a component. Although paper
towels or tissues can be used on most hardware as well, we still recommend you to rub it with
a piece of cloth.
• Water or rubbing alcohol – You may moisten a piece of cloth a bit with some water or rubbing
alcohol and rub it on the computer. Unknown solvents may be harmful to the plastics parts.
• Vacuum cleaner - Absorb the dust, dirt, hair, cigarette particles, and other particles out of the
equipment and monitors can be one of the best methods of cleaning a computer. Over time
these items can restrict the airflow in a computer and cause circuitry to corrode.
• Compressed air – not to be used. First, compressed air is extremely forceful, depending also
on its pressure, because compressed air can dislodge particles. These particles are a danger
since they can enter your eyes or abrade skin. The possible damage would depend on the size,
weight, shape, composition, and speed of the particles. Second, compressed air itself is also a
serious hazard. In addition, using air to clean forces the dirt, dust particles and moisture into
the air, making these contaminants.
DO NOT SWITCH ON THE EQUIPMENT WHILE USING ANAESTHETICS, INFLAMMABLE

DISINFECTION AND/OR CLEANING PRODUCT.
IF USING ANY PRODUCT PRODUCING EXPLOSIVE GASEOUS MIXTURE, MAKE SURE THAT THE
GASES DISSIPATE BEFORE SWITCHING ON THE EQUIPMENT AGAIN.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAN INTERNALLY THE UNIT. THE UNIT MUST BE ALWAYS KEPT SHUT
UNLESS A SPECIFIC RENEWAL PART PROCEDURE IS TO BE UNDERTAKEN BY HIGHLY
QUALIFIED MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL.

3.4 DISPOSAL
