FREQUENCY OF USE
Typical range 20 exposures / day to 1500 exposures / day (1 day = 24 hr period).
For the X-ray generator operating in Radioscopy mode (Continuous Fluoro or Pulsed Fluoro) for direct
or indirect applications, the Duty Cycle Limits require no installer or operator configuration or
monitoring.
SAFETY NOTICE: This manual contains important operating and safety information. An
understanding of this information is critical to the safe operation and
long term reliability of your equipment. Please ensure that you read
the warning notices before using this equipment.
GENERATOR DUTY CYCLE LIMIT
NOTE: THIS SECTION CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION. PLEASE READ

AND UNDERSTAND THIS MATERIAL BEFORE CONTINUING.
Internal X-ray generator components will heat up during normal use of the generator. This is
similar to X-ray tube heating during normal generator operation. The amount of heat produced
is proportional to the product of kV, mA, and time.
Modern Diagnostic X-ray Generators are designed to operate with the majority of X-ray tubes
over their rated power ranges. They are designed for operating duty cycles consistent with
practical patient examination routines that allow for reasonable cooling intervals
between X-ray exposures. Insufficient cooling time between exposures may lead to
excessive heat buildup in the generator, which may cause serious generator damage.
This X-ray generator has internal duty cycle monitoring to warn of excessive heat build-up. The
generator monitors the applicable exposure parameters (kV, mA, ms, PPS) for the selected X-ray Tube
and displays the calculated, accumulated Anode Heat Units according to the tube characteristics
prescribed by the X-ray Tube Manufacturer. If the generator calculates that the next exposure will
exceed the rated duty cycle limit, a warning message GEN DUTY WARNING meaning “Generator duty
cycle warning” will be displayed. Similarly the Generator will issue a GEN DUTY WARNING should the
accumulated exposure parameters and generator power supply thermal status approach the maximum
limits for safe, reliable operation.

Introduction 1
The generator also monitors the X-ray tube’s thermal switch, and will inhibit exposures when
the tube reaches its thermal limit. It is the responsibility of the installer to implement and verify
this interlock.
DAILY X-RAY TUBE WARM-UP PROCEDURE
CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE PRODUCES X-RAYS. OBSERVE ALL

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT PERSONNEL.
Use this procedure when the generator is first turned on for the day, or when it has not been
used for several hours. This procedure provides for exposures at medium power before the
tube is used at maximum mA or kV values. This will reduce the possibility of damaging the
anode and high voltage components. No test setup is required.
1. Choose the tube to be warmed-up by selecting an image receptor that is programmed

to select the desired tube.
2. Select the following:

• 80 kV.
• Large focal spot.
3. For a 200 to 300 kHU tube, use approximately 160 mAs per exposure. For a 300 to 400
kHU tube, use approximately 200 mAs per exposure. Depending on the X-ray tube
power rating, select either 100 mA or 200 mA.
4. Make one (1) to three (3) exposures (depending on tube loading) at 30 second
intervals.

Canadian safety standards.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
In accordance with the intended use, this Diagnostic X-ray Generator complies with the
European Council Directive concerning Medical Devices. The CE marking affixed to this
product signifies this. One of the harmonized standards of this Directive defines the permitted
levels of electromagnetic emission from this equipment and its required immunity from the
electromagnetic emissions of other devices.
It is not possible, however, to exclude with absolute certainty the possibility that other high
frequency electronic equipment, which is fully compliant to the EMC regulations, will not
adversely affect the operation of this generator. If the other equipment has a comparatively
high level of transmission power and is in close proximity to the generator, these EMC
concerns (the risk of interference) may be more pronounced. It is therefore recommended that
the operation of equipment of this type such as mobile telephones, cordless microphones and
other similar mobile radio equipment be restricted from the vicinity of this X-ray generator.

AK / DAP – DOSE AREA PRODUCT
The DAP function is only available if the DAP function has been enabled in programming.
Any reference made to tube 2 or the ability to switch tubes applies to two tube generators only.
DAP Overview
• The DAP device(s) must be allowed to stabilize when the generator is switched on,
and the first time when switching from tube 1 to tube 2 or from tube 2 to tube 1.
During this time, when the DAP device is “settling”, the DAP display will indicate
“--------“. X-ray exposures may be made during this time, but the DAP function will be
disabled during the settling period. The settling period may last up to a few minutes
after the generator is switched on.
• The DAP device for the tube that is selected when the generator is switched on is
automatically tested by the generator after the settling period. If the DAP device
passes the self-test, the DAP readout will display its last setting. This indicates that
the DAP is functional, and ready to measure the dose-area product.
If the DAP self-test fails, an error message will be presented, and the DAP
readout will display “--------“. This indicates that the DAP is not functional.
• When switching to the other tube for the first time in that session (from tube 1 to
tube 2 or from tube 2 to tube 1), the DAP device associated with that tube will be
tested. As in the previous step, the DAP readout will display its last setting to
indicate that the DAP is functional, or “--------“ to indicate that the DAP is not
functional.
• The installer may program the generator to present an audible warning, along with a
visual alarm via the LCD display on the console, to indicate that preset limits for
accumulated DAP or DAP rate have been reached.
* “DAP ACCUM WARN” will display to indicate that the accumulated dose exceeds
the programmed accumulated dose-area product limit.
* “DAP RATE WARN” will display to indicate that the current dose rate exceeds
the programmed dose rate limit.
NOTE: A reading of 0mGycm2 or 0.0µGym2 indicates that the DAP display has been
manually reset as described later in this section, and that no exposures have
been taken since it was reset.
NOTE: Always check local regulations to determine how frequently the DAP device
must be tested. The procedure to test the DAP follows later in this section.

AK Overview
• The AK function calculates and displays the air kerma in mGy for radiographic exposures
and mGy/min for serial radiographic and fluoroscopic exposures.
• The AK calculator sums the air kerma for radiographic exposures and for fluoroscopic
exposures. For example, if after a radiographic exposure the total air kerma is 400 mGy,
and then a fluoro exposure is made for 30 seconds at 700 mGy/min, 350 mGy will be
added to the previous value of 400 mGy, for a new total of 750 mGy. Another rad
exposure of 300 mGy will then bring the total AK to 1050 mGy.
• The air kerma calculator in the generator takes into account kV and collimator filtration.
KV compensation is automatic; however the operator must ensure that the FILTER
selection in the MENU screen matches the collimator filtration that is actually in use.
• Predefined limits may be set to present an audible warning, along with a visual alarm via
the LCD display on the console, to indicate that the accumulated air kerma or air kerma
rate limits have been reached.
* “AK ACCUM WARNING” indicates that the accumulated air kerma exceeds the programmed limit.
* “AK RATE WARNING” indicates that the current air kerma rate exceeds the rate limit.

sequence containing six kV / mAs steps. The kV and mAs is programmable for each step as
described later in this section.
SELECTING THE TABLE STEPPER FUNCTION
1. Select the image receptor that is configured for peripheral angiography. The radiographic
display will indicate a preselected and possibly arbitrary kV and mAs value. The first
exposure in the exposure sequence will not necessarily use those kV and mAs values.
The kV and mAs used for the exposure sequence will be as displayed in steps 1 to
6 in the console LCD display window.
2. The LCD display window will display the first kV - mAs stepping screen (PER. SHIFT1) as
shown. The sample screens below do not show the secondary displays i.e. tube number,
%HU, time etc. Also, the kV and mAs values may differ from the sample screens.
*PER. SHIFT1

RUNNING THE TABLE STEPPER FUNCTION
1. Select the desired kV - mAs stepping screen PER. SHIFT1 to PER. SHIFT5 as previously
described. If required, edit the kV / mAs values as described later in this section for the
selected exposure sequence.
2. Press and hold the prep / expose button on the stepping table. This will cause exposure
number 1 in the console LCD display window to be highlighted, and the kV and mAs in
the radiographic display window to be updated. Exposure number 1 will be made when
the generator receives the expose command.
3. After the table shifts, the next exposure will be highlighted in the LCD display. That
exposure will be made using revised kV / mAs values, if appropriate, when the generator
receives the expose command.
4. Continue the exposure sequence by holding the prep / expose button. Do not release the
prep button until finished; doing so will abort the exposure sequence.
5. When finished the exposure sequence, release the prep button. This will reset the
exposure step counter to number 1.
EDITING THE TABLE STEPPING KV / MAS
1. Select the kV or mAs value to change by pressing the button adjacent to the desired kV /
mAs step. The desired selection will be framed.
2. Select the new kV or mAs value by pressing the + or - kV or mAs buttons in the
radiographic display window.
3. Press SAVE under the LCD display window to save the changes, or to exit without
saving the changes. Repeat to change the kV or mAs for other steps in the same screen,
or in one of the other kV - mAs stepping screens.

then default to the newly saved techniques.
The generator stores the last APR editor setting before it was switched off. If the
APR editor was previously ENABLED, APR changes may subsequently be made
and then saved in normal operating mode without the need to manually set the APR
editor to ENABLED. To disable this feature, the APR editor must be set to
DISABLED.
3. With the APR EDITOR set to ENABLED, return to normal operation by pressing EXIT

6. Select the desired anatomical view to edit, for example SKULL AP/PA.
7. Select the patient size to edit within that view, for example medium.
All techniques with the exception of kV and mA/ms or mAs will be common to all
patient sizes. The common techniques for all patient sizes within that view should
be programmed first, then the desired kV and mA/ms or mAs should be
programmed for the selected patient size. After these techniques are saved per the
remainder of this section, kV and mA/ms or mAs may be programmed for the other
patient sizes in the same APR view.
8. The default selections are shown on the console, for example.

ERROR CODES AND MESSAGES 6
The console will display status messages on the APR display during normal and abnormal
operation of the generator. This chapter contains table of those messages and suggests
actions to be taken should any malfunctions occur.
Generator Error Messages
When an error occurs, an error message will be displayed on the console LCD. Some errors
remain on the display until the RESET button is pressed. These types of errors need to be
cleared before the generator can be operated again and they should be reviewed carefully.
Other errors are displayed for about half a second and are cleared automatically. These
errors are usually used to warn the user of a wrong setting on the console such as when a
parameter reached its limit, or a feature that is not enabled or active.
The figure below shows an example of an error as displayed on the membrane console.
Check if the error message shows in the column of the table below. If found, perform the
corresponding action. If the problem persists after taking the recommended action,
consult your service representative.

GENERATOR EXPOSURE TABLE 7
Table 1 following shows mAs values resulting from preselected mA and ms values (3 point
operation). This table also shows the range and interrelation of these loading factors. For
example, if in AEC operation it is known that the preset backup mAs limit is 50 mAs and 100
mA is chosen for that technique, then the maximum length of exposure possible (at which time
the backup mAs limit is reached) is 500 ms.
In the above example, read down the 100 mA column to the 50 mAs value. Then read across
to the left side of the page to the 500 ms value, this will be the maximum time allowed for the
stated conditions.
Please review the note under AEC FUNCTIONAL CHECK in section 9. This details AEC
backup options that are available.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 8
This section is organized into two parts. The first part of this section details tests by which the
operator can verify that the AEC and ABS circuits are functioning, and that there are no
apparent defects in the console or associated equipment.
These tests should be done monthly as a minimum, or more frequently if required by

local regulations.
CAUTION: THE AEC AND ABS VERIFICATION PROCEDURES REQUIRE THE

PRODUCTION OF X-RAYS. OBSERVE CORRECT OPERATING
PROCEDURES, AND TAKE APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS AGAINST X-
RADIATION.
The second part of this section is the recommended maintenance schedule for your generator.
This maintenance schedule is recommended for all VZW2258 series X-ray generators.
The Operator must schedule all recommended and mandatory maintenance calls with the
RESPONSIBLE ORGANIZATION.
WARNING: REFER ALL SERVICING TO APPROPRIATE SERVICE PERSONNEL WHO

ARE TRAINED TO SERVICE THIS EQUIPMENT AND WHO ARE FAMILIAR
WITH THE POTENTIAL HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS EQUIPMENT.
NOTE: MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE FREQUENCY MAY BE DETERMINED BY CERTAIN

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS OF THE COUNTRY OR STATE IN WHICH THE
INSTALLATION IS LOCATED. ALWAYS CHECK THE LOCAL CODES AND
REGULATIONS WHEN DETERMINING A MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.

8 Maintenance Schedule
AEC FUNCTIONAL CHECK
The following procedure may be used to verify that the AEC circuits are functioning on
generators equipped with AEC (automatic exposure control).
1. Switch the generator ON, and select an appropriate radiographic image receptor.
2. Align the X-ray tube and the selected image receptor such that the central ray is directly
over the center field of the AEC pickup device. Set the focal spot to film plane distance to
40 in. (1 m).
3. Select AEC mode of operation. Select center field, large focus.
MINIMUM EXPOSURE TIME:
4. With no object in the radiation field, adjust the collimator or beam-limiting device to project
a 10 in. X 10 in. (24 cm X 24 cm) field at the image receptor.
5. Select 80 kVp, 100 mA, and a backup mAs of 50 if it is operator selectable. If this is not
operator selectable, the default AEC backup settings must be used. Refer to the note at
the end of this page to determine the AEC backup mode that has been programmed.
6. Make an exposure and verify that the POST mAs reading is ≤ 2 mAs.
MAXIMUM EXPOSURE TIME:
7. Close the collimator or beam-limiting device completely. Place a folded lead apron over
the image receptor.
8. Select 60 kVp, 100 mA, and a backup mAs of 50 if it is operator selectable. If this is not
operator selectable, the default backup settings must be used. Refer to the note at the
end of this page to determine the AEC backup mode that has been programmed.
9. Make an exposure and verify that the error message AEC BUT ERROR or AEC BU MAS
ERR is indicated in the APR display window after the exposure has terminated. This
confirms that the exposure has continued until it was terminated by the AEC backup
timer.
NOTE: The AEC backup mode is installer programmable. Three modes are available, FIXED,
MAS, and MS. Only the MAS mode allows the operator to set the backup mAs for an AEC
exposure.
FIXED: The generator will determine the maximum AEC backup time, not to exceed preset
AEC backup mAs/ms values or system limits. The characters AEC will be displayed in the time
window of the LED display during AEC operation.
MAS: Allows the operator to adjust the AEC backup mAs, not to exceed preset AEC backup
mAs/ms values or system limits. The mAs value will be displayed in the time window of the
LED display during AEC operation.
MS: Allows the operator to adjust the AEC backup ms, not to exceed preset AEC backup
mAs/ms values or system limits. The ms value will be displayed in the time window of the LED
display during AEC operation.

Maintenance Schedule 8
ABS FUNCTIONAL CHECK
The following procedure may be used to verify that the ABS circuits are functioning on
generators equipped with ABS (automatic brightness stabilization).
1. Switch the generator ON, and select an appropriate fluoroscopic image receptor.
2. Select ABS mode. The indicator LED adjacent to the ABS selector button on the control
console or on the remote fluoro control will be lit to indicate that ABS is ON.
3. Open the collimator or beam limiting device shutters to maximum. With no object in the
image field, press the fluoro footswitch. Confirm that the collimator or beam-limiting
device is fully open by observing the monitor.
4. While continuing to press the fluoro footswitch, note the fluoro kV display at the control
console or remote fluoro control. This should be less than 55 kV.
5. Close the collimator or beam-limiting device and press the fluoro footswitch. With no
object in the image field, ensure that the radiation is fully blocked by observing the
monitor. If necessary, cover the image intensifier with lead aprons to block all radiation.
console or remote fluoro control. This should be the maximum available fluoro kV, 110 kV
or 125 kV (depending on whether the upper fluoro kV limit has been set to 110 kV or 125
kV).
7. Place an absorber (20 cm of water, or 1.5 in. (3.8 cm) of pure aluminum, or equivalent) in
the center of the image field.
8. Press the fluoro footswitch. While viewing the absorber on the monitor, open the
collimator or beam-limiting device sufficiently to cover as much of the absorber as
possible. Ensure that the X-ray beam does not extend beyond the sides of the absorber,
as stray radiation will adversely affect the kVp reading in the next step.

toluene, or ammonia to clean the surface of the R & F console LED display. Use a dry
clean cloth and gentle wipe the LED display to properly clean.
• To clean the console surfaces (without disinfectant) use soapy water. This should be
applied using a lint-free cloth as described below.
• If console surfaces need to be disinfected, use Actichlor or equivalent with a Hypochlorite
concentration of 3 to 5%.
∗ Dilute the disinfectant 50/50 with water.
∗ Spray or dampen a lint-free cloth with the diluted disinfectant. The cloth must be damp
only, not wet.
∗ Gently wipe the console surfaces with the damp cloth.
• Never use any corrosive, solvent or abrasive detergents or polishes.
• Ensure that no water or other liquid can enter any equipment. This precaution prevents
short circuits and corrosion forming on components.
• Methods of disinfection used must conform to legal regulations and guidelines regarding
disinfection and explosion protection.
• If disinfectants are used which form explosive mixtures of gases, these gases must have
evaporated before switching on the equipment again.
• Disinfection by spraying is not recommended because the disinfectant may enter the X-ray
