1. Introduction and Basic Information – Essential

Prescriptions
1.1. Device Description
STRATOS is a Bone Densitometer that uses the DXA technology (DUAL energy X-ray
Absorptiometry). The system is monitored by a computer equipped with a - minimum
– 2.8 GHz Pentium processor on Windows XP, Windows 7 or higher. It performs
measurements of the bone density on various parts of the body such as the spine,
the femoral bone, the forearm and the whole body using X-ray. It provides
information for these parts on the projected area about the bone mineral content
(BMC), the bone mineral density (BMD). It measures the whole body composition,
and gives the level of fat and lean tissue.
1.2. Indications
Bone densitometry plays an important role in the management of osteoporosis and

particularly in its diagnosis.
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and
deterioration of the micro architecture of bone tissue, responsible for bone fragility,
and therefore an increased risk of fracture.
Bone densitometry is indicated for a general population, regardless of age and sex, in
case of signs of osteoporosis, in case of pathology or therapy potentially inductive of
osteoporosis (steroids, growth hormones) and in case of obesity. It is above all
indicated in postmenopausal women and in cases of menopause before age 40
regardless of the cause.
1.3. Contra-Indications
All female patients liable to be pregnant should not, under any circumstances,
undergo an examination without consulting their attending physician beforehand.
1.4. Warnings
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the equipment without first

reading this manual or without having attended training courses with an
approved representative of DMS.
WARNING: This machine generates a certain level of X-ray radiation.

Local and international regulations must apply to the installation and to
the operation of the machine.

WARNING: If a female patient is or is liable to be pregnant, contact

the patient’s physician before performing an X-ray scanning.
WARNING: Do not look directly at the laser light.
WARNING: Do not remove any part of the covering to get access to

the internal elements.

9.5. Laser Alignment

9.5.1. Purpose
This procedure describes how to check the laser beam after replacement or
during a yearly maintenance, or also in case the phantom image isn’t centred.
9.5.2. Laser Pre-positioning
First open the software and check the laser offset setting.
Go in configuration => maintenance => calibration => scanner parameters

and read the value on this line:
Then you have to open the top cover and the patient table.
Move the monoblock with the software:
Scanner count => movement in position around (X: 100, Y: 100) and click the
laser box.
Take a rule and measure the distance between the centred collimation hole and
the laser point.

You can adjust the laser if the point isn’t in at the good distance, open the top
cover and refer to the version listed below:
Version 1:
Unscrew the two screws in red circle to move the laser then fix them after
adjust the good distance
Version 2:
Screw or unscrew the four nuts in order to adjust the laser beam.

9.5.3. Check the Laser
Put the table and do a Quality Control, switch the laser on the top of arrow
drawn on the phantom, and launch the exam.
At the end if the 3 vertebral are well centred, the laser beam is well centred.
IF not, readjust the phantom in central position of the image,

Launch a new QC (When the laser is lightening in the starting point, adjust the
laser to fit on the arrow).
When the phantom is well centred, restart an examination. Once the arm is in
starting position and the laser lightening, adjust the laser to fit on the arrow
top.

9.6. Warm Up
After a period of transportation, a long storage or if the device has been

taken down to be installed, a seasoning phase must be observed not to
damage the X-ray tube. An automatic message will appear on the screen
after 3 months without shooting X-ray.
If there is any doubt for this procedure, contact DMS for further information.
In case of a monoblock replacement:
To perform a seasoning procedure, go to “Option=> Warm-up and Quality
Control” and click on “Perform a Warm-up”.
The seasoning phase lasts about 50 minutes, and consists in stabilising the
X-ray monoblock. The device is then shooting 5 times for 5 minutes, with X-
ray parameters at 70 kV (2 mA).

9.8. Spectrum Analysis
Check the spectrum characteristics thanks to the following procedure.

This spectrum analysis is performed during the "count on target" phase while
patient examination process.
For the Stratos: The spectrum is done before every phantom and examination.
During the device service, the Engineer could have to perform this analysis
manually. This operating mode is described inside the following instruction.
APPLICABILITY:
You must be sure to have a good alignment and good target position values.
Even check the calibration parameters following the Service manual
instructions.
It must be checked in case of count or image quality problems. It could be

performed during the alignment process or everything which could affect the
BMD result.

9.10. Reprogramming the Acquisition Board
To update the device, to install a new functionality, or to rule some problems,

the hardware can be updated without changing or linking anything inside the
device.
To reprogram the FPGA device, the user needs a *.pof file, which is a generated
file. This file must be provided by DMS, whenever a new program is developed.
Contact DMS to know the last version of the Hardware (named Altera).
Copy the file in c:\dms\Stratos\embedded\altera.
Open the “Option=> Maintenance=> Calibration” section.
When asked, select the X90-vXXX.pof file and click on “Update”.

After a few seconds, the device has been updated.
To check is the change really occurred, click on the information icon (DMS logo
on the main menu, or “Contact” in the option menu). The last hardware version
number may appear on this window.

9.11. Electromagnet Checking
9.11.1. With the Software

The electromagnet checking is performed by shooting with detector static
counts.
To enter static counts mode, click on “Option=> Maintenance=> Scanner=>
Scanner counts”.
This section allows the user to test the detector behaviour with different
settings.
“Null”: corresponds to a virtual mode: the rotating disk is turning,

electromagnets are working, but the monoblock doesn’t shoot.
“Low”: corresponds to the weak energy scan modes: forearm, whole body.
“Medium”: corresponds to the femoral examination parameters.
“High”: corresponds to the spine examination parameters.
“Personal”: corresponds to a configurable mode. Can be adjusted to perform

different tests with the detector and the monoblock (experienced staff only)
The curves show the evolution of the counts with the time. The values
correspond to the very first value divided by each following one: That is why,
this curve is always displayed around 1.0. The closest the curve stays around
1.0, the best it is.
The blue curve represents Low Energy counts (LE) and the red one represents
High Energy counts (HE).

A fluctuation of counts of more than 10 % over 1 minute indicates a bad

behaviour of the Stratos. (Over 1.1 or below 0.9)
The test of the electromagnets consists in 3 steps:
1) Go to the copper target area:

Click on “Position” and click on the right-hand top corner of the table drawn on
the screen: double click on the second square from the top as indicated on the
picture below:
When the arm has moved, click on “Quit” to come back to the “Scanner count”
menu.
2) Tick the “Medium” parameter and click on “Count”

Let the device shoot for at least 1 minute.
If the number of counts is under 10000, it is not enough: there may be a

problem with the shutter. Check the autocalibration block over the monoblock
to see if there is any problem with this shutter.
Each time a shoot is asked, this shutter may open to let the beam pass. A little
sound can be heard at this moment.
If not, check the alignment of the monoblock again: there may not be enough
flow into the detector collimation.
If there is no special problem, write the “Average value” of High Energy counts
before to undertake next step.
3) Tick the “High” parameter and click on “Count”.

Let the device shoot at least 1 minute.
If the counts average numbers are less than twice as high as the “Medium”
counts, so there may be a problem with the collimator electromagnet.
Check the behaviour of this electromagnet by changing the configuration of the

shoots. Use the “Personal” parameters to make the tests.

Configure the monoblock with 0kV, 0mA. By ticking or not the “Big collimator”
box, it is possible to visually check if the collimator electromagnet is switching
or not. A small sound over the monoblock indicates that electromagnets work
correctly.
3) Check electromagnets of the collimation plate.
1. You can adjust the spring intensity (blue box) when you move the screw to
the internal hole.
2. There is a possibility to have rust or glue leakage inside the brass axis. (Red
box)
- Remove the disk (3 screws)
- Unscrew the electromagnet, spring and axis for each arm (collimator
and shutter)
- Check if there is glue, dust or rust on the axis and clean it if necessary.
- Add oil on the brass axis and in the electromagnet axis for prevention.
3. Check the bolt on each screw (black arrow), it must be in the upper position
in order to prevent a too big spring pressure.
4. If these two steps aren’t enough it’s maybe because the electromagnet axis
isn’t perpendicular with the arm.
Loose the two screws which fixing the electromagnet and adjust the
electromagnet axis.

9.12. Calibration of the Aluminium Disk
9.12.1. Adjust the Speed

The rotation of the calibration disk can be checked into the section
“Options=> Maintenance=> Scanner=> Scanner counts”.
Select “Null” and then “Count”.
At the right of the screen, read the value “Blade by second”.

This value must be between 315 and 320.
You can adjust the value with the "Disk speed adjust (volt)" parameter:
If the value is upper than the speed expected (315-320) you have to
decrease the adjustment voltage parameter
If the value is lower than the speed expected (315-320) you have to
increase the adjustment voltage parameter.
Once the good value found go in maintenance => calibration and fill the
value "disk voltage"
In case of rotation speed is 0 or couldn't be change, please to refer to the

disk error instruction in the troubleshooting chapter.

9.12.2. Adjust the Disk Delay
The device must be calibrated in order to give good count values and results.
The delay calibration is used to know if the device is shooting in or outside the
disk.
Go in configuration => maintenance => calibration => soft tissues =>

calibrate part => tick the line "delay of the signal from the opto disc".
All other boxes must be unticked.
Then click on "execute".
At the end the new value will be registered by the software.

9.13. High Voltage Checking
If there are some problems of counts, detector error or any kind of problem
concerning an important variation of the detector count, this problem may
result from the cable of the command board.
If the counts are stuck to zero, it may come from a High Voltage supply
failure. This can come from:
1) A problem with the coaxial cable
2) A problem with the High voltage board
3) A problem with the cable between the CPU board and
the High voltage board.
So, the following procedure help to determine which part of the supply is
defective.
Determining a problem with the coaxial cable:

- Switch off the device.
- Take off the top cover of the arm.
- Unplug the green coaxial cable at the level of the detector.
- Switch on the device.
- Measure the voltage at the first extremity of the cable (see picture).
- Take off the table (Unscrew the 4 screws) (See “taking down the
table”).

- Measure the cable potential at the level of the High Voltage board, as
indicated on the picture below:
Check the value on the High Voltage Board
If the voltage is not around the target voltage when the device is just switched
on, then the problems comes from the High Voltage supply. If the voltage is
good, but was not at the level of the detector, then the problem comes from
the coaxial cable (CA015125). Change this cable to rule the problem.
2) Determining a problem with the High Voltage Board

The problem may come from the High Voltage Supply Board. Check the
supplies by checking the following points:
Check the supply on the High Voltage Board

If the supply seems to be OK, but the High voltage is not present on J2
connector, then change the High Voltage command board.
3) Determining a problem with the data cable

To check the data cable, unplug the high voltage data cable between the
acquisition board (CA015124, J9 connector) and the High Voltage command
board (CA015124, J1 connector). Check every 10 cable between the boards by
testing the continuity of each cable, one by one. If any cable is cut, change the
CA015124 cable.
4) Protection buffer checking:

Check the transmission of the digital signals by plugging an oscilloscope on the
following points:
U2 component values:
High Voltage board: U2 component, Pin1: Clock Signal. Must change each time
a change of High Voltage is asked.
High Voltage board: U2 component, Pin 2, Data cable. Must change each time a
change of High Voltage is asked
J9 connector values:
Acquisition board: J9 connector, Pin6: Clock Signal. Must change each time a
change of High Voltage is asked.
Acquisition Board: J9 connector, Pin 8: Data cable. Must change each time a
change of High Voltage is asked
Buffer output values:

Acquisition Board: U12 component, Pin 18: Clock Signal. Must change each
time a change of High Voltage is asked.
Acquisition Board: U12 component, Pin 16: Data cable. Must change each time
Buffer input values:

Acquisition Board: U12 component, Pin 2: Clock Signal. Must change each time
Acquisition Board: U12 component, Pin 4: Data cable. Must change each time a
change of High Voltage is asked.
If the input and output values are different on U12, then change the acquisition

(QC) received with the device. This one has a factory value, write on the
phantom sticker and on the summary sheet. A good phantom value should
have a deviation under 2% regarding original settings.
The variation could be due to transport and room condition, device
modification, new spare part, variation in the time…
APPLICABILITY:
Valid for all software release 3.0.X.X

Before follow this process, be sure:
1. The device is in working condition!
(Filset, alignment, count are OK)
2. The QC is in good condition.
(No broken part, no plastic balls missing…)
The instruction must be done during every annual service or in case of
variation above authorized limit (if condition 1 and 2 are respect).
DESCRIPTION:
1. In case of doubts on the adjustment coefficient inside the software, fill

coef adjust tab and quality control tab cases according to factory values
write on the summary sheet.
2. Do 3 QC when the system is ready and calculate it BMD average.

(new_average_BMD_value)
3. Note the first BMD value from the sticker (Target_BMD)

4. Go in the configuration => maintenance => Quality Control and check

the (adjustement_coefficient)
5. With previous values, do the calculation as below:

t arg et _ value
coef _ adjust _ recalculated = × adjustement _ coeficient
new _ average _ BMD _ value
6. Replace in configuration => maintenance => Quality Control =>
adjustement_coefficient window with coef_adjust_recalculated
7. Click on validate
8. Perform 3 new QC and check if their average is in the acceptance range.

If it's not ok: restart from the beginning.
If it's ok: adjust the other coefficient as describe below.
9. Calculate the error percentage:

adjustement _ coefficient _ recalculate − adjustement _ coeficient
var iation _ percentage = ( ) × 100
adjustement _ coeficient
10. Change the coef adjust for different regions:

This formula will be use to calculate the spine, Femur and forearm
coefficients:
var iation _ percentage
New _ coef = old _ coef × (1 + )

9.21. Changing the Mechanical Cables of the Frame
9.21.1. Assembly Procedure and Tightening of the Mechanical

Cables of the Frame
This instruction aims to describe the procedure of mounting and tightening of

the mechanical cables of the STRATOS frame on site, without specific workshop
tools.
When a mechanical cable is damaged, this operation allows to:
− Do a mark with a pen on Marking of the

the M5W0001 arm, on position
each side of the stirrup stirrup/arm
(M5W0023) in the aim of
marking the stirrup
position on the arm.
2 x CHc M6x12
− Unscrew the 2 fixing screws CHC
M6x12 of the stirrup with taking care
at looking what’s going on at the front.
Two cases can occur:
CASE 1: the stirrup and the arm doesn’t move in report to each other
CASE 2: the stirrup and the arm describe a translation movement in

report to each other.

TREATMENT OF CASE 1
In this case the cables could be change one after the other or simultaneously
according to the following procedure:
Cables preparation
− Cut the necessary cables length: 2 cables of 5.70m.
− Let go trough one extremity of the 5.70m cable in the angle-iron
(M5W00108) previously dismounted and fix a cable stop (M5W0031).
Before locking the cable stop, realize a loop according to the following
picture.
Fixing elements: (1x) screw CHc M4-6
− Repeat the same operation on the second 5.70m.
− Hang the spring (52200020) between the cables loops.

Cables tightness
− Block the stirrup screws on the arm in order to move the arm to its origin
position like the following picture, then unblock them for the cable
tightening operation.
Upper cable, at the
The spacing between the upper and middle back face
lower cables has a nominal value of
30 mm.
− Hang simultaneously on the upper

cable at the middle of the front
face and on the upper cable at the
middle of the back face a 150

grams weight. (on each of the
middle front face
cables)
− Set the tightness of the longitudinal cable by

screwing or unscrewing the M5W0032 screws
according to the desired tightness of the
cable.
Those two screws should be screwed or unscrewed in

a symmetrical manner to avoid a shift of the stirrup.

− To check that the desired tightness is reached, we will measure the

spacing between the two cables at the point where the 150 grams weight
is applied. When the tightness of the cables is satisfactory, this spacing
should have a value included between 16 and 20 mm (see the scheme
below)
Upper Cable Upper Cable

− When the tightness is set, tighten the locking nut of each

of this screw in order to avoid loosing these settings.
− Be sure that the 2 CHC M6x10 stirrup fixing screws are

not in the thrust-washer position in one of the extremity
of the oblongs holes of the arm, then tighten them in
order to put together this stirrup M5W0023 with the arm
like indicated in the side picture.
TREATMENT OF CASE 2
In this case, the procedure is slightly different, the cables should be changed
one after the other, in agreement with the following procedure:
Shifting of the Shifting of the

arm to the left arm to the right

1. If the arm M5W0001 has moved to the right, the cable 1 should be
changed first.
2. If the arm M5W0001 has moved to the left, the cable 2 should be
changed first.
Changing the first cable
− Cut the necessary length cable of 5,70m.
− Let go trough one extremity of the 5.70m cable in the angle-iron

(M5W00108) and fix a cable stop (M5W0031).
Before blocking the cable-stop, realize a loop defined by the following
picture.

− Slip the extremity of the cable din the screw (M5W0032) from outside the
stirrup, and then put a cable stop (M5W0031) in tightening the le cable
manually.
Fixing Elements: (2x) screws CHc M4-6
− At this stage,
force the arm Marking of the
and the stirrup in position stirrup/arm
order to realign
according to the
marks done on
the first chapter,
then fix the
stirrup to the
arm in this
position.
− To check that the desired tightness is reached, we will measure the

spacing between the two cables at the point where the 150 grams weight
is applied. When the tightness of the cables is satisfactory, this spacing
should have a value included between 16 and 20 mm (see the scheme
below).
Upper Cable Upper Cable

satisfactory cable tightness
− If the tightness is not satisfactory, unscrew the stirrup from the arm.
− Set the tightness of the cable which has just been changed (raise the
tightness if the value is lower than 16 mm, lower the tightness if the
values are higher than 20 mm) by screwing or unscrewing the M5W0032
screw.
− Again, force the arm and the stirrup in order to realign them according to
the marks done at the first chapter. Then fix the stirrup to the arm in this
position, and check again if the tightness is satisfactory.

The changing procedure of the second cable is similar to the changing

procedure of the first cable, except that the stirrup (M5W0023) should never be
dissociated from the arm (M5W0001).
In the changing procedure

of the second cable: the
stirrup SHOULD NEVER BE
DISSOCIATED FROM THE
ARM.
− After changing the second cable and check the tightness. Hang the spring
(52200020) between the 2 loops of the cables.
