If the equipment must be serviced with the covers removed, observe the following precautions:
1-2
1. Safety
WARNING Electrolytic capacitors and CRTs can retain a dangerous static charge for long
periods after power has been removed. Some devices can acquire a charge
spontaneously without direct contact with other circuitry. Do not touch these
components unless power has been completely removed and they have been
discharged. Equipment that contains high power electrical components must be
serviced only by personnel familiar with proper safety procedures for working
near these components.
Disconnect AC power (and battery packs if used) before discharging static
electricity in components such as electrolytic capacitors. Failure to heed this
message could result in death or severe personal injury. Allow adequate time for
static charges to discharge through bleeder resistors.
Use the capacitor discharge tool to discharge circuits. Have someone observe
while you work near dangerous voltages. This person must remain clear of all
circuitry and be prepared to turn off the power to the System.
WARNING Observe proper Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) procedures when touch-
ing or servicing any electrical component of the system.
WARNING Never operate the system with the system ground isolation bypassed (power
cord plug ground lead). Dangerous electrical shock and improper equipment oper-
ation can otherwise result.
WARNING Systems with battery packs can deliver high currents at high voltage. Electric
shock from batteries can cause death or personal injury, including severe burns.
Use extreme caution when working on circuits energized by or located near the
batteries. Batteries are dangerous at all times. Setting the battery pack circuit
breaker to off removes battery current from other circuitry, but does not render
the batteries harmless.
CAUTION Never operate the system unless all potential equalization conductors (green wire with a
yellow stripe) and related components are fastened in place. Dangerous electrical shock
and improper equipment operation can otherwise result.
WARNING Remove all metal rings and watchbands before working on system circuitry. Skin
burns and injury from involuntary muscle contractions can result if metal jewelry
shorts electrical circuits.
CAUTION Cords and cables connected to the Workstation can become trip or snag hazards in the
work area. Ensure that cords and cables are routed in a way that eliminates trip or snag
hazards. Personnel working around the Workstation should be aware of the locations of
all cords and cables whenever they move around the system or when system movement
is initiated.
CAUTION To prevent Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage, ensure that you are properly grounded
with a grounded wrist strap before handling any electronic components sensitive to ESD.
1-3
1. Safety
WARNING Do not shut the system down or unplug the power cord during startup. Inter-
rupting the system startup sequence may result in corrupted data. Wait for the
system to finish startup before properly shutting down the system.
CAUTION Use caution when removing or installing system covers. Careless cover handling can
damage system components.
1.4 Lockout/tagout
This procedure meets the basic LOTO requirements established by OSHA and follows the policy of GE
Healthcare for energy-isolation during the service and maintenance of this equipment. The
procedure is designed to ensure that each employee involved in servicing this equipment has
exclusive control over when the equipment is re-energized (each employee maintains a personal lock
with a unique key).
WARNING It is the obligation of each employee to follow this procedure and understand
that failing to do so can cause serious injury or death.
Only Field Service Engineers who have completed LOTO Authorized and initial LOTO Verification
training will be permitted to execute lockout/tagout on this system. All other non-authorized
individuals will be considered affected individuals.

1. Safety
1.5.2 X-ray tube/Image Intensifier removal

Removing either component (the X-ray tube or the Image Intensifier) will cause a weight imbalance
which can cause the C-Arm to swing in any axis depending on positioning as shown in Figure 1-4.
Use the C-Arm Stop Clamp Tool to perform LOTO before removing the X-ray tube or Image
Intensifier.
Figure 1-4: Striking hazard.
1.5.3 Test to determine column status if column does not elevate

If replacement of the PS3 does not fix the lift issue, refer to the following steps:
1. Near the stator transformer listen as you attempt to raise and lower lift. Relays should engage
and the sound of the motor running should be observed (as if a sprocket is spinning on a
shaft) but still no lift motion.
2. Two individuals - put C-Arm in lateral hip position - one individual stand on toe of T-base and
one individual attempt to manually lift tube and entire C-Arm. If the column is broken the
column will come up as you lift the C-Arm because you are removing some of the weight and
the internal gas shock will expand raising the C-Arm. It will only go up – never down.
3. If this occurs proceed to step 1 in Perform permanent LOTO of known defective column
following removal using energy control procedures.
1.5.4 Performing permanent LOTO of known defective column

1. Once the known bad column is removed, permanent LOTO can be performed on column.
2. Drill two 1/4" holes through front of outer column and inner column.
3. Insert two 1/4" self-tapping bolts into holes in order to secure any further movement of
column.

6. Start a New Exam on the Workstation to zero out the Workstation Displayed DAP.
7. Make a 10 second exposure at 70 kVp@2 mA.
8. Note the Dose value displayed on the Dosimeter (Measured Dose).
9. Multiply the dosimeter reading for the measured dose by one of the following factors
depending on the size of the Image Intensifier and the area units displayed (cm2 or m2) to find
the Calculated DAP follows:
a. If the displayed units are in mGy* cm2:
9" Image Intensifier Calculated DAP = Measured Dose X 372 cm2
b. If the displayed units are in mGy* m2:
9" Image Intensifier Calculated DAP = Measured Dose X 0.0372 m2
10. Note the Workstation Displayed DAP value as displayed on the left monitor.
11. Ensure the units of measurement for calculated and displayed DAP values are the same. Use
the following conversion factors to convert the units if needed:
a. 1 μGy is equal to .001 mGy
b. 1 mGy is equal to 1000μGy
c. 1 R is equal to 8.76 mGy
12. Compute the percent error of the DAP per the formula shown below.
13. Verify that the Percent Error is within ±25%. If the Percent Error does not fall within the
specification, then perform DAP Calibration.

1. Position the C-Arm with the X-ray Tube up and the Image Intensifier down.
2. Set up the dosimeter to measure dose rate.
3. Set the system to 80 kV and 3 mA in Manual Technique mode.
4. Using the mounting bracket and stand provided with the meter, mount the ion chamber/dose
detector 30 cm from the Image Intensifier.
5. Fluoro and center the ion chamber/dose detector as viewed on the workstation monitor.
3.4.1 Half Value Layer (HVL) Measurement

Note: The HVL is a measurement of beam quality. The components that contribute to the HVL are
the monoblock and cover, primary and variable collimators.
1. With no aluminum (0 mm) filters in the path of the beam, make a fluoro exposure until the AKR
on the Dosimeter stabilizes (a few seconds).
2. Note the initial (0 mm) AKR reading.
3. Divide the AKR reading by 2 to determine the ½ AKR value.
4. Continue to fluoro and add aluminum filters to the path of the beam (at the closest point to
the collimator) until the ½ AKR value determined in step 3 is reached.
5. When the AKR reading reaches the ½ value calculated in step 3, the total thickness of filters
placed in the path of the beam is the system’s Half Value Layer.
Verify that the HVL meets the range specified in the table below. If it is below the specification
then troubleshoot the components that contribute to the HVL.
System Manufacture Date HVL

Before June 10, 2006 ≥ 2.3 mmAl @ 80 kVp
On or after June 10, 2006 ≥ 2.9 mmAl @ 80 kVp

4. Click Collimator/Camera Setup.
5. Click Hide Circular Mask.
6. On the C-Arm control panel, set the system to MAG2, and then click Calibrate MAG Modes.
Ignore the message Please change the MAG Mode to Normal.
7. On the control panel, open the iris and leaves so they are outside of the image.
8. Fluoro and adjust the X-axis and Y-axis adjustment screws on the BAFT to center it on the
Image Intensifier. To accomplish this, count the tick marks at each quadrant.
9. To cancel the message Please change the MAG Mode to Normal, click Cancel in the
message box twice.
10. Click Show Circular Mask.
Film exposure:
1. Load a film cassette in the BAFT.
2. Using one sheet of film, in Fluro mode make four film exposures on that single sheet of film at
50 kVp @ 2.0 mA for 2 seconds each, in NORMAL, MAG1, MAG2 and with the collimator iris
completely closed.
Note: You may need to adjust kVp and mAs for optimal film density due to variations in film proc-
essing equipment and film screen combinations.
3. Remove the film cassette from the BAFT and develop the film.
Minimum (50 mm x 50 mm) field size verification:

4. Ensure the diameter of the collimator iris as exposed on the film is within the 50 mm square of
the BAFT.
Note: If this verification step fails, you must perform a beam alignment calibration, and then repeat
the beam alignment verification.
Normal, MAG1, and MAG2 field size verification:
Note: In some geographical regions the edges of the X-ray field must be visible in the fluoroscopic
field of view for all modes (Normal, MAG1 and MAG2). If this is the case, the following beam
size verification does not apply. Verification for such systems is done by taking fluoro shots in
Normal, MAG1 and MAG2 Modes and making sure the collimator iris is always visible in all
modes. Skip the clipping check and perform the collimator preview lines check.
Note: Refer to Table 3-2 and Table 3-3 when performing calculations. Create a worksheet similar to
these tables, shown below, to perform your calculations.
3-10
1. Take an Auto Normal Mode fluoro shot and rotate the camera so that the BAFT is the same
orientation as the film shot taken previously.
2. Record in the worksheet copy of Table 3-2 the Normal Mode X-axis X-ray field (beam)
diameters as measured using the ruler on the BAFT shown on the film.
3. Record in the worksheet copy of Table 3-2, the MAG1 X-axis X-ray field (beam) diameters as
measured using the ruler on the BAFT shown on the film.
4. Record in the worksheet copy of Table 3-2 the MAG2 X-axis X-ray field (beam) diameters as
measured using the ruler on the BAFT shown on the film.

Collimator preview lines check:

1. Move the collimator iris and shutter leaves without making a fluoro exposure. Verify that the
collimator preview circle and lines are displayed on the left monitor. Fluoro and verify that the
preview circle and lines and the actual collimated image line up within 13 mm of each other.
Note: It may be easier to use a dry erase marker to mark the preview lines prior to taking a fluoro
shot. If the preview circle and lines are not seen, or are more than 13 mm out of position,
re-calibration of the collimator is required. Refer to calibration procedure in this document.
2. Without fluoro, rotate the camera and verify that the camera rotation symbols appear and
move continuously during camera rotation. The image on the left Monitor should
automatically change to the new rotational setting when the camera rotation button is
released.
Note: If the camera rotation preview symbols are not seen or do not rotate in the correct direction,
calibration of the camera rotation is required. Refer to beam alignment calibration procedure
of this Update.

Note: Resolution measurement is subjective, even when using the converging line-pair tool. In order
to minimize the effects of moiré pattern interference in the area of interest, the tool may be
shifted slightly from the position shown in the diagram shown in Figure 3-24.
Resolution is measured at GE OEC as follows: The converging lines are observed (from wider
to narrower separations) until approximately 50% of the converging line-pairs disappear. If
the line-pairs disappear for a short distance and 50% (or more) reappear, that pattern is
viewed again, further along, until 50% of the pairs disappear.
1. Place the converging line pair tool on the Image Intensifier as shown in Figure 3-24 with the
converging end near the center of the Image Intensifier and at a 45 degrees angle to the
Image Intensifier grid.

3.6 UBAT beam alignment procedure

3.6.1 Overview
The process of verifying and/or calibrating the alignment between the X-ray Tube, collimator, Image
Intensifier, and Camera is performed using this procedure, along with the Universal Beam Alignment
Tool (UBAT).
This is a filmless procedure that may only be used with the UBAT, due to a difference in measurement
values. This procedure must not be used with the Beam Alignment Fixture Tool (BAFT).
Parts:
You need the following tools to complete this Instruction:
l Universal Beam Alignment Tool (UBAT)
l Bore Sight Alignment Tool
l Remote UtilitySuite (RUS)
l RUT Cable

the tick marks along the horizontal axis on the left side and adding them to the number of tick
marks counted on the right side. This is the Visible Normal Mode Image diameter size. Record
this reading in the worksheet copy of Table 3-14.
Figure 3-28: Bore site shadow edge (arrow)

in normal size (reference point).
3-34
4. On the monitor using a dry erase marker, mark where the edge of the shadow of the Bore Site
meets the tick marks on the left side of the UBAT along the horizontal axis of the left monitor.
Note the millimeter reading off the edge on the ruler. This is your reference point reading. The
example in the Figure 3-28 shows the edge of the shadow, which, in this case, is at 85
millimeters.
5. Loosen the collimator setscrew on the collimator Assembly to allow the collimator to move
along the horizontal axis as viewed on the monitor. Refer to the Figure 3-29 for the location of
the adjustment screws and setscrews.
Figure 3-29: Adjustment screw locations:

3 = bore sight tool
Note: Ensure that the proper screw is loosened to move the collimator in the desired direction. Also
note that through a 90 degrees Camera rotation, either X or Y-axis movement of the
collimator could be used to move the image along the horizontal axis on the display monitor.
6. Take a Normal fluoro shot and turn the adjustment screw on the collimator to move the Bore
Sight Tool shadow to the right side on the monitor. Move it until you can just see the
secondary collimator ring appear from the left side in the live image on the monitor as shown
in Figure 3-30.

reference point reading acquired in step 4 above. The result is the absolute value for left side
offset. In the example in Figure 3-30, the new shadow location is at 81 millimeters. The left
side offset for the shown example is (85 - 81) = 4 millimeters.
8. Record this reading in your worksheet copy of Table 3-13.
9. Take a Normal fluoro shot and turn the adjustment screw on the collimator in the opposite
direction to move the Bore Sight Tool shadow to the left side on the monitor. Move it until you
can just see the secondary collimator ring appear from the right side in the live image on the
monitor. See Figure 3-31.
shadow of the Bore Site meets the tick marks on the left side of the UBAT along the horizontal
reference point reading acquired in step 4 above. The result is the absolute value for right side
offset. In the example in the Figure 3-31, the shadow location is at 90 millimeters. The right
side offset for the shown example is (85 mm - 90 mm) = 5 millimeters. Record this reading in
your worksheet copy of Table 3-13.
Figure 3-31: Secondary collimator ring appears on the right:

11. Add the left and right side offset values to calculate the total offset value. Record this reading
in your worksheet copy of Table 3-13 (for example, 4 mm + 5 mm = 9 mm = Total Offset).
12. Add the Visible Normal Mode Image Diameter Size from step 3 to the Total Offset to calculate
the X-ray Field (Beam Diameter) size. Record this reading in your worksheet copy of Table 3-
14.
13. Verify that the total offset value calculated in Table 3-13 meets the specifications given in
Table 3-15 below.

3-35, the X-ray field size (collimator iris diameter) is 156 millimeters. This is the collimator iris
3-38
13. Referencing your worksheet copy of Table 3-16 for MAG1 and MAG2 modes, subtract the
diameter of the displayed image from the X-ray field size (collimator iris diameter) of the
corresponding MAG Mode. Calculate the difference and ensure the results meet the criteria in
Table 3-17.
Note: If any of the verification steps fail, perform a Beam Alignment.
Clipping check:
1. Check for clipping with C-Arm at 45 degrees and 90 degrees.
2. Turn Negate and AutoHisto on the Workstation keyboard, and then take continuous fluoro in
NORMAL, MAG1, and MAG2 as you rotate the camera 360 degrees in each mode. Use the tick
marks on the UBAT tool as shown inFigure 3-36 to ensure that the clipping is within
specifications for all modes per Table 3-18.

This completes the Beam Alignment Verification.
3.6.3 Beam alignment calibration

It is necessary to perform a beam alignment if any of the previous verifications failed or if the tube,
Image Intensifier, collimator, or camera has been replaced. After completion of the Beam Alignment
in this section, perform the Beam Alignment Verification.
WARNING Tasks involve potential exposure to blood borne pathogens. Use Universal
Precautions including rubber/nitrile gloves.
CAUTION The following procedure is critical to the safe operation of the C-Arm. Improper
adjustment may cause premature failure of major system components.
CAUTION The following procedures require you to handle devices susceptible to damage from
electrostatic discharge (electrostatic discharge). Take appropriate measures to avoid
equipment damage.
Optical centering adjustment
UBAT Setup:
3-40

3. Without removing the secondary collimator ring, attach the Bore Sight Tool to the collimator

4. Attach the UBAT to the Image Intensifier.
5. Verify that the UBAT is properly positioned by confirming that all three legs are snug against
the side of the Image Intensifier.
3-41
6. Take a fluoro shot and rotate the image on the monitor so that the ruler tick marks from the
UBAT are displayed in an X on the monitor.
Camera decentration (optical centering) adjustment:

1. Rotate the camera fully counter clockwise to the stop, and then slightly back off the stop.
2. During a MAG2 fluoro exposure, use a Dry-Erase marker to make a dot on the left monitor at
the center of the UBAT. Rotate the Camera to 90 degrees, 180 degrees and 270 degrees and
mark the UBAT center at each camera rotation angle as illustrated in Figure 3-39.
Figure 3-39: UBAT center:

1 = full CCW mark
3 = rotational center of the camera
5 = +270 degrees mark
3. Using a straight edge, draw a line between the 0 degrees mark and the 180 degrees mark,
and then draw a line between the 90 degrees mark and the 270 degrees mark. The
intersection of the two lines is the rotational center of the camera. If the Rotational Center is
not within 3 mm of the center of the UBAT, you must adjust to within 3 mm.
4. If adjustments are necessary, loosen the three securing screws, the screw holding the copper
Heat Sink Strap, and the four screws securing the TEC Cooler Bar as shown in Figure 3-40.
Note: Loosen the screws just enough to make adjustments. If you loosen the screws too much, there
will be too much play in the camera and tightening the screws will throw off your
adjustments.
Note: Not all cameras have a TEC Cooler Bar.

Decentration verification:
To verify that Mechanical Decentration Deviation is <3 mm:
1. During a MAG2 fluoro exposure, rotate the camera from stop to stop. Observe the UBAT
pattern, verifying that the center of the image does not deviate from within the 3 mm
diameter circle and is centered on the UBAT.
2. If the center of the image deviates from within the 3 mm diameter circle, repeat the Camera
Decentration Adjustment process.
3. Remove all the marks from the monitor.

the secondary collimator ring on the Monitor. Take a normal fluoro shot and adjust the X-axis
screw on the collimator until you see the secondary collimator ring on the monitor.
6. While making a Normal Mode fluoro exposure, use the control panel to position the collimator
shutter leaves so they are open just to the radius of the secondary collimator ring and back
off slightly (rotate the collimator to find the leaf that is closest to the center). Figure 3-42
shows the flow for normal mode collimator calibration.
Note: For single leaf collimators, use the concave radius of the shutter leaf and line it up with the
secondary collimator ring.
7. Click OK when done.

Image Intensifier sizing adjustment (Normal, MAG1, MAG2):

1. Calculate the required displayed image diameter sizes for each of the three fluoro modes
(Normal, MAG1, and MAG2) by subtracting the appropriate number in Table 3-19, from the
corresponding X-ray Field (beam diameter) sizes. The Normal X-ray field (beam diameter) size is
as found during the Beam Alignment Verification. The X-ray field size is found in Table 3-14
and Table 3-16. For the MAG Modes X-ray field (beam diameter) sizes, use the values noted in
the MAG Mode iris Calibration section.
Note: If verification was not performed and the normal X-ray field size is not available, set the Image
Intensifier size to a nominal value. The nominal value for a 9-inch Image Intensifier is 216 mm.
Set the Image Intensifier size as close to the nominal value as possible without introducing
any clipping.
