1. INTRODUCTION
WARNING
GENERAL
¾ This user manual provides instructions for proper use of equipment and should be
considered as its integral and permanent part and must remain with the unit.
¾ Carefully read the content of this manual before you start working on the equipment.
¾ The working environment for this equipment is the "professional X-ray room" properly
prepared with adequate shielding for X-rays and a suitable power supply line
"dedicated" You can NOT use this equipment in buildings that have a domestic type
of mains power supply .
¾ To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a power
supply with protective earth.
¾ You can not install and use this equipment in operating theatres
¾ The use of this equipment by unqualified and not authorized personnel is strictly
prohibited. Even if this equipment is designed and manufactured in compliance with
the most current safety standards, the X-ray emission is always a danger when the
operator is not qualified or duly informed, exposure to X-rays might cause injuries to
people.
¾ Avoid decanting and penetration of water and various fluids inside the equipment to
prevent the corrosion or short circuits.
¾ Avoid, in the vicinity of the equipment, the use of other equipments not conform to the
EMC regulation.
¾ Before activating any movement of the equipment, make sure that the patient is lying
in a correct position with legs and arms inside table-top.
¾ During activation of the movements, the operator must pay close attention to the
patient and to other people who may be in the room. The operator must make sure
that there are no objects near the equipment that may interfere with its movements.
¾ In the case of patient with thorn skin and / or injury a Biocompatible towel must be
placed between the patient and table top.
¾ The equipment should not be used for purposes other than those mentioned.
¾ In case of faults or malfunctions, that can not be solved as indicated in this manual,
the authorized person must consult the manufacturer of the equipment for the
necessary and appropriate instructions.
¾ The manufacturer disclaims any liability if the authorized personnel, during the course
of his duties, does not adhere to the requirements contained in this manual.
RADIOPROTECTION
¾ Before using the equipment, the authorized personnel must be informed about
security measures to be taken, as established by the "International Commission on
Radiological Protection" and its "National Standard".
¾ Protect the patient from scattered radiation in the surrounding areas by means of
anti-X aprons, where necessary.
¾ To protect the patient during radiographic exposure, always use the largest possible
focus –skin distances.
¾ The control point of the X-ray emission must be in an area protected and shielded
from radiation with an anti-X window on the equipment and loudspeakers to
communicate with the patient.
¾ During radiographic exposures, only the patient can be present in the room. In case
you need the presence of medical staff or trained and authorized paramedics must
be present (eg, with non-cooperative patients) , they must either be provided with
protective anti X-ray clothing and must stay in Designed Zone of Occupancy as
outlined below.
DESIGNED ZONE OF OCCUPANCY
Note:
"Fig 1) shows the frontal area of possible occupation with a dimension of 600x600 mm
(23.6" x23.6 ") x 2000 mm (78.7") height as required by applicable law.
Since the Column/ table-top/ bucky group can move longitudinally to explore the whole
body, the occupation zone is extended longitudinally for all the length of table top (2200
mm / 86.6”) as showed in the following “Fig-2)”:
The maximum values of scattered radiation at the heights indicated in the above areas of
occupation with table in horizontal position are shown in the following "Table 1”).
The maximum values of scattered radiation were measured as described in the reference
standard IEC60601-1-3 with radiological factors of 100 KV, 100 mAs and Duty-cycle 1:60.
1.2. WARRANTY
The warranty validity of the products is 24 months from invoice date for any fault of
construction or employed material, except consumables. Warranty does neither include
transport nor travel expenses of our technical staff.
12 months Pro Rata Temporis gradual warranty is valuable for: generators, monoblocs,
X-ray tubes and Image Intensifiers.
Before returning the goods to the supplier, the customer must send a technical report
describing the problem in detail and also working conditions. Any return of goods to our
Company must be on carriage paid basis and agreed in advance.
The request of free spare parts can be accepted only after having received the defective
parts (with transport to customer’s charge ) in order to be able to check the causes.
The manufacturer reserves the right to decide if the parts must be repaired or replaced.

6. MAINTENANCE
Remove electric power supply from the main power supply box before making any
maintenance operation. This in order to prevent the equipment from moving if not
expressly requested by the technician.
For such maintenances where the technician must keep the equipment in function, it is
strictly required that :
• Both maintenance technician and the operator follow all security indications.
• Both maintenance technician and the operator must be qualified.
• The operator must act according to the instructions given by the maintenance technician
• All maintenance must be done in conditions of adequate lighting.
The maintenance technician must be qualified and enabled by the manufacturer to operate
on the specific equipment and as a consequence he must be informed on the correct
functionality of all the parts composing it. IN CASE OF DOUBTS he must peruse relevant
sections of this manual. It is also requested to pay attention to indications on labels sticked
on the equipment.
Important:
Before any welding operations you must electrically disconnect the equipment from
the mains power supply box, in order to avoid to cause damage to the equipment or
to other instrumentation such as electrical and/or electronic devices if these are
powered.
In case you find damages or malfunctioning that are not stated on this manual,
please call the TECHNICAL ASSISTENCE SERVICE of the manufacturer.
(See paragraph 1.2 )
The first 6 months after installation , and every 12 months thereafter, make the following
checks and adjustments::
POTTER BUCKY
⇒ See enclosed manual.
COLLIMATOR
⇒ See enclosed manual.
6.2. CLEANING
• Cleaning must be made at regular intervals with the equipment turned OFF:
