II - COMBINATION AND RELATED

CLINICAL APPLICATION
BRF 90°/ 15°
II – Combination and related clinical application
For functional purposes and applications, tilting table BRF must be incorporated
into a complete analogical and/or digital radio-fluorography system and
therefore must provide fitting for an X-ray generator tube assembly, an image
(intensifier with relative TV system and connection to an high voltage
generator) and to a digital image acquisition system where necessary.
In the “two-tubes” versions, the tilting table must also be combined with a
support hanging from the ceiling with relative X-ray generator and X-ray
collimator, where necessary, associated with additional imaging equipment.
In particular, for what regards the X-ray tube assembly (fitted below the table)
and the image intensifier (fitted on top of the automatic SFD), all those
produced by leading manufacturers with application features appropriate for the
foreseen tests can be used, in observance of the above specifications and of the
following mechanical compatibility (see Chapter “III – Technical and
functional feature, dimensions encumbrances and weights”).
The BRF unit can be combined with devices that may or may not be
manufactured by BMI BIOMEDICAL INTERNATIONAL itself. In case of
combination with a device not manufactured by BMI BIOMEDICAL
INTERNATIONAL, it is mandatory to contact BMI BIOMEDICAL INTERNATIONAL
itself to check compatibility with BRF. In any case, all devices used in
combination with BRF must be CE marked and conform to international
rules and laws for safety.

VII – Installation
Installation of the medical device BRF (every code and models) must be
performed only by qualified personnel, trained by BMI Biomedical
International during the mandatory training course.
VII.1 - Preliminary check
Verify that the room of destination of the X-Ray units has dimensions and
structures wide enough to host the devices, considered the encumbrances
already described in this manual and the need for installation of an X-ray
generator and its control console. As well, verify that the room allows hosting all
accessories and other objects eventually needed for examination.
It is important to check that the immediate surroundings of the X-ray device is

allowing enough free space for the operator movement and to avoid collision
with objects and people. (please also ref to Pic. 8-1)
Moreover verify all component and devices not manufactured by BMI

BIOMEDICAL INTERNATIONAL, needed for the use of the X-ray system, (such as
the X-ray generator or the X-ray tube) and other accessories eventually
designed to be hosted in the room in association with the X-Ray system. All
these objects must respond to the following parameters:
- CE mark of conformity, where required;

- Perfect compatibility (mechanical, electrical and functional for all
component of the system;
- Position in the room which helps as much as possible the devices access
by operators and patient, and made as ease as possible examination
performing
For what concerns the elements which are not part of the functional
configuration of the system, which have anyway a use during some examination
(e.g. service stool) and some furniture elements (such as wardrobes or
desktops): for all these elements take care that their presence will not result as
an obstacle for device movement and ordinary work of the system.
Room features:
The room designed for installation of the system must respond to the following
features:
- Conformity and certification in line of international and local laws for room
designed to host an X-Ray source
- Electric plant in line of international and local laws, and according to all
devices designed to work in the base of the same power plant. For BMI
BIOMEDICAL INTERNATIONAL devices, please ref to the present manual,

The drawing above also shows the minimum distances from the walls of the
room where the machine is being installed and defines the minimum distances
areas required for the tilting table to be operational, including therefore the
“safe zones” as above, distances to be borne in mind even more wherever the
tilting table should form part of a radio-fluorographic system including other
tables or complementary equipment.
The distances shown in the drawing in Pic. 8-1 must obviously be suitably
adapted wherever the tilting table (models AR4000 and AR4002) is used with a
lateral column support or suspended column (or any other suitable device),
depending on the overall size and the movements of the said columns and the
examinations foreseen (such as radiography of the thorax).

IX.6 – Verification of centring of the collimator and of the format of
the imaging field
To check the centring of the collimator use the test phantom shown hereunder.
Test phantom for checking the centring of the collimator, composed of a series
of radio-opaque rounds, symmetrically positioned
The procedure for such verification is as follows:
- Attach the aforesaid phantom to the centre of the aperture window of the
SFD using adhesive tape
- Perform a fluoroscopy emission and regulate the collimator chest (as describe
below) until the fluoroscopy image is centred with the central circle of the
phantom.
- Take two radiographic images, using cassettes with film 35x35 cm, one
image with the SFD positioned at the minimum distance from the
examination table and the other with the SFD positioned at the maximum
distance
- ATTENTION: to load cassettes in the SFD you must access the collimator
setup procedure (see setup chapter XVI.7 – Collimator) and follows the setup
procedure described in section “XVI.7.3 – Collimator exposition”.
For any adjustments required:
o in a longitudinal direction: adjust the four bolts attaching the support

frame of the X-ray tube and flange of the collimator
Page 94 of 227

XRAY COMPONENTS
BRF 90°/ 15°

XVI – Setup and check procedures
To store in the system memory the reference positions and dead ends for the
movements of each part of the BRF, a SETUP procedure is required before
starting normal operation of the tilting table.
ATTENTION: during every start up system and after every reset of the boards,
the first 40 second will be needed by the system to enable the acoustic and
visual signal of safety (microswitches, emergency button, etc.). Nevertheless,
every safety feature is active and the system is perfectly safe even in these 30
seconds.
