Equipment Safety Guidelines

The OTC18M & OTC18T Overhead Tube Crane is intended for medical
diagnostic purposes only. Observe the following general safety precautions:
• Do not use this equipment for anything other than medical diagnosis.
• Observe all warnings and cautions, stated or implied, in this manual and
the manuals for associated equipment.
• Comply with all safety labels on the equipment.
• Permit only properly trained and qualified personnel to operate this
equipment. Because this equipment produces ionizing radiation,
operators must meet all state and local requirements and regulations.
• Permit only qualified personnel to access internal parts.
• When planning for and installing this equipment, observe all local and
national regulations, and establish safe exposure procedures.
• X-rays pose a health risk for both patients and operators. Take all
measures to minimize radiation exposure to any persons.
• Routinely inspect all movable assemblies and parts of this equipment
according to this manual.
• Provide protective earth grounding for all components in compliance with
applicable regulations.
• This equipment contains no user-serviceable parts. For service assistance,
contact your service representative.
• Do not defeat or bypass built-in equipment safety features.
• Do not operate this equipment in the presence of moisture.
• Before servicing this equipment, turn off all electrical power to this
component and all its peripheral equipment (generator, wallstand, etc.) at
the power sources. Also, make sure that the power sources are locked out
and tagged “Equipment Being Serviced”. Some components inside the
system have other external power sources, which is why all peripheral
equipment must also be turned off.
• Before operating this equipment, operators must know the location of all
emergency stop switches (if installed), which allow immediate shutdown
in the event of unintended motion or catastrophic equipment failure.
• The OTC18 weighs approximately 830 pounds without the X-ray tube and
collimator, and requires substantial mounting support for safe operation.
The following warnings and cautions are specific to the OTC18. Read them
carefully—some are not obvious for typical equipment use.
Warning
To avoid serious electric shock, disconnect all power and follow the
discharge procedure before servicing, disconnecting high-tension
cables, or removing access panels. Avoid dropping any tools or objects
into the unit.
Safety and Compliances ix

Warning
To avoid the dangerous and cumulative effects of X-rays, minimize
radiation exposure to any and all patients and staff.
Do not operate this equipment in an explosive atmosphere (such as

anesthetic gas). This equipment is not suitable for use in the presence
of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide.
To avoid injury when moving this equipment, at least 2 qualified

people are required.
Any serious incident should be reported to the manufacturer and the

competent authority of the member state in which the user is established
Radiation Protection
Serious detrimental health effects can result from exposure to both short-
term/high-level and long-term/low-level X-rays. Become familiar with the
effects of both types of radiation exposure, and take appropriate measures to
minimize exposure. Some effects of X-radiation are cumulative over a period
of months or years. Most importantly, avoid exposure to the primary beam at
all times.
X-ray facilities typically use lead to shield the radiologist's workstation. The
typical workstation partition is generally effective in reducing residual
radiation to a safe level. Windows in the partition are typically glazed with
lead glass and provide effective protection. Do not leave the protected area
during exposure.
Any object in the path of the primary beam produces scattered radiation,
which can result in a substantial radiation dose to unprotected persons. To
minimize exposure to scattered radiation, use movable lead screens, and
lead-impregnated gloves and aprons. These protective devices must contain a
lead (or equivalent) thickness of at least 0.25 mm. Use such protective devices
for all operators, observers, and/or servicing personnel exposed to radiation
fields of five or more milli-Roentgens per hour.
The X-ray system produces X-rays only when high voltage is applied to the
X-ray tube. When the high voltage is removed, X-ray emission ceases
immediately.
When the distance between the X-ray tube focal spot and the patient’s skin is
decreased, the radiation dose to the patient increases.
Ensure audio and visual communication between operator and patient even
during exposure. This may require video cameras or an intercom.
x Safety and Compliances

To minimize risk, ensure that all operating personnel are educated in the
hazards of radiation and understand the safety requirements for X-ray
operation. Review the manuals for each component in the system.
Note: This system may include an anti-scatter grid. For pediatric applications, the
grid can be removed by a qualified service technician. Refer to the service manual for
the pertinent table or wall stand.
Warning
Ensure exposure parameters are set to within safety limits.
Caution
Incorrectly positioning the X-ray tube and collimator can cause the
X-ray field to be misaligned, resulting in an unacceptable image and
the need to re-expose.
Radiation Safety Regulation

Ensure that all operators of this equipment, and their supervisors, are fully
acquainted with recommendations from the following authorities:
• Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH)
• National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP)
• International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP).
Current sources of information include the following:
• National Council on Radiation Protection Report No. 102 (“Medical X-ray,
Electron Beam and Gamma-Ray Protection for Energies up to 50 MeV
[Equipment Design, Performance and Use]”).
• Current recommendations of the International Commission on
Radiological Protection.
Personnel Radiation Monitoring

Monitoring radiation exposure to personnel provides a valuable assessment
of safety measures, and can reveal inadequate or improper protection
practices or serious exposure situations.
The most effective monitoring method is the use of instruments to measure
the exposure (in rads). Take this measurement at all locations where the
operator may be inadequately shielded during exposure.
Safety and Compliances xi

Another, less accurate, method is to place film at strategic locations. After a

specified period of time, develop the film to determine the amount of
radiation. Fluorescent screens used in a darkened room can also detect
excessive radiation.
Another common method is for personnel to wear film or aluminum oxide
badges that track X-ray dosage.
Radiation Protection Survey

A radiation protection survey must be made by a qualified expert after every
change in equipment or conditions that might increase the probability of
personnel receiving more than the maximum permissible dose equivalent.
Pediatric Use
Exercise special care when imaging patients outside the typical adult size
range, especially smaller pediatric patients whose size does not overlap the
adult size range (e.g., patients less than 110 lb [50 kg] in weight and 59 in [150
cm] in height).
Ionizing radiation exposure is of particular concern in pediatric patients because:
• For certain organs and tumor types, younger patients are more
radiosensitive than adults (i.e., the cancer risk per unit dose of ionizing
radiation is higher for younger patients).
• Use of equipment and exposure settings designed for adults of average
size can result in excessive and unnecessary radiation of smaller patients.
• Younger patients have a longer expected lifetime over which the effects of
radiation exposure may manifest as cancer.
To help reduce the risk of excessive radiation exposure, follow the ALARA (As
Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle and seek to reduce radiation doses to
only the amount necessary for clinically adequate images.
If available on your system, utilize the following features (and their pediatric-
appropriate settings):
• filters
• grid or Bucky
• protocols or exposure indices
• variable focal spot size
• Automatic Exposure Control (AEC)
• DAP meter
Also, ensure that all testing and calibration procedures include measurements
and adjustments for pediatric settings.

4.3.5 CAN Termination Jumpers

The DM-OTC18T and DM-OTC18M Overhead Tube Crane Systems utilize a
linear CAN bus. This requires each end of the of the CAN bus to be
terminated with a 120Ω resistor. This can be achieved by various jumpers in
different locations. Termination jumpers are located on the DCU board
(touchscreen), AL02 collimator, PSI board, and UCU board(s).
See Table 4-3 on page 4-13 for the jumper settings based on system
configuration.
The locations of these jumpers are as follows:
• DCU J11 (touchscreen) (Figure 4-8)
• PSI X25 (Figure 4-9)
• TRMD X17 (Figure 4-10)
• UCU J5 (Figure 4-11)
Note: The CAN termination in the AL02 collimator is pre-set and does not need to
be changed.
