Prerequisites
• Remove the dynamic test without holder, with heart contour diaphragm and plexi capil-
lary test, from the I.I. input screen and place on a separate surface (e.g. table).
• In addition attach a screwdriver centrally on the dynamic test.
• Position the C-arm with respect to the separate surface so that the dynamic test is over
or under the I.I. input screen. The plexi capillaries are close to the I.I.
• Call up fluoro.
• Select low noise reduction (MD1); the LED in the button is on.
X • Radiation on.
• Move the C-arm horizontally during fluoroscopy.
¹ During movement of the C-arm toward the capillary test, the live image shows
only a slight trailing effect. The image noise is more clearly visible in the moving
parts of the image.
• Radiation "off".
• Select high noise reduction (MD2); the LED in the button is off.
X • Radiation on.
• Move the C-arm horizontally during fluoroscopy.
¹ During movement of the C-arm toward the capillary test, the live image shows a
greater trailing effect than when low noise reduction is selected. The image noise
is less clearly visible in the moving parts of the image.

Prerequisites:
• Call up Fluoro and the ”Mid” dose rate level.
• Select Sirematic HC1 ADR curves; the LED in the button is off.
• Set the edge enhancement to optimum resolution detection.
• Press the noise reduction factor button .

The LED of the button must not illuminate.
• Set the contrast setting (LUT) for the monitors to optimum resolution detection.
• Factory: Use resolution test type 41 A.
• Place of use: Use resolution test type 41.
Place the resolution test directly on the grid in the center of the image inten-
sifier so that it is at an approx. 45 degree angle to the grid lines.
• Factory:
Attach a 25-mm AL measuring stand to the image intensifier.
• Place of use:
If a 25-mm AL measuring stand is present (with 0.4-mm notch), attach it

close to the image intensifier. Otherwise: Attach 17 µm Cu directly to the grid
next to the resolution test and attach 1.2 mm Cu in the beam path close to
the tube.
• If overexposure occurs at the I.I. edge, collimate accordingly.

X • Switch radiation "on", determine the resolution during radiation, and enter it in
(Tab. 9 / p. 28).
• Switch radiation "OFF", determine the resolution of the LIH image, and enter it in
(Tab. 9 / p. 28).
• Check in each case whether the minimum contrast is detectable. (Notch in 25 mm AL or
17-µm Cu strip).

Programming the previously noted values of the organ programs7.1

NOTE Before performing the IQ quick test, the organ programs were
set in accordance with section 1, "Test conditions" (Test
conditions / p. 7).
These must be reprogrammed to the previously noted param-
eter values.

• Program the organ programs back to the original and previously noted parameter val-
ues.

Image artifacts
8Image Artifacts
• Check off all image artifacts found during settings and IQ tests in the table in the IQ Test
Certificate.(Evaluation of the image artifacts / p. 34).
• If image artifacts are detected that are not listed in the table, describe them under
"Other artifacts".
• Three evaluation numbers that indicate the extent of the artifact are provided for evalu-
ation:
Definition of the evaluation numbers 0
1= No noise and artifacts were detected during startup.
2= Minor noise, artifacts occurred sporadically during startup. The cause could not
be localized and the "error" could not be corrected. The artifacts scarcely affect
the good overall image impression, and the ability to make a medical diagnosis
from the images is not impaired in any way. Therefore, the artifacts are tolerable.
3= More frequent or stronger noise/artifacts that interfere with the overall impression
of the image or impair the ability of the images to be diagnosed medically
occurred during startup and are therefore no longer tolerable. The system must
not be shipped or handed over to the operator in this condition.

Image Artifacts 33
Description of the artifacts 8.1
Hum:
Non-homogeneousness that is caused by electro-magnetic radiation in the image produc-
ing systems are unattractive and disturbing. Depending on the type of artifact, they can
have a very negative effect on the ability to evaluate the images. They are tolerable only to
a very slight degree. Hum artifacts are visible as sporadic, horizontal light-dark patterns in
the image; they are temporary and are not limited to a specific location.
Streaks:
Very high-frequency electromagnetic radiation is visible in the image as light or dark, some-
times very short, horizontal lines (temporary).
Streaks that are caused by dirt on optically effective surfaces must also be recorded here.
They are limited to a specific location and are not temporary. Streaks are barely tolerable.
Ghost images:
These are object contours that are usually offset to one side and appear double. They are
caused by reflections in poorly adapted, long video cables. Clearly visible ghost images are
not tolerable.
Background structures:
Background structures are permanent, grid-shaped patterns, primarily in dark image sec-
tions, that are also called "fixed noise."
Pixel errors:
These errors are image pixels with no image information. They are visible on the monitor
as dark or light pixel-size dots.
There are tolerable and intolerable pixel errors. The TV camera is inspected very precisely
in the test area for pixel errors and only TV cameras with pixel errors corresponding to an
internal specification according to type and number are provided to customers. These tol-
erable pixel errors must be documented in the IQ measuring protocol (Evaluation of the
image artifacts / p. 34).

The customer has selected the standard organ programs: Q Y/N
In the case of "Y": section not applicable.
SIREMOBIL Compact/L without keyboard 0
NOTE A service keyboard (either PS2, or USB with PS2 adapter) will
be delivered ex factory. The following work steps provide
instructions for connecting the keyboard via PS2. If a USB
keyboard was delivered, it can be connected to the USB port
on the front of the Memoskop CX.
• The SIREMOBIL Compact L with MEMOSKOP CX and license for 25 images (CX 25)
can be delivered without the operating keyboard if the customer so wishes. However, a
keyboard is necessary for configuring the MEMOSKOP CX.
• In this case, connect the the PS2 service keyboard included with delivery (before
switching on the system) to the "PC Keyboard" jack on the MEMOSKOP CX. (The PS2
keyboard is kept in the compartment for the system binder at the back of the monitor
cart.)
• The PS2 keyboard has all the keys from the operating keyboard (except for the "Home"
key) necessary for performing the settings in User Setup and Technical Setup.
• For the "Home" key ( ->I<- ), use the "Escape" key on the PS2 keyboard.
• To change the default organ programs, see the Operator Manual, chapter "Memoskop
digital image memory".
If the default organ programs are modified, the values programmed must be saved to
CD (See Startup Instructions, section "Memoskop CX": Parameter backup").
Additionally, the programmed values must be written down by hand, initialed and dated,
and filed in the customer's Operator Manual under the chapter "Curves and diagrams".
