TECHNICAL MANUAL
1.3 SAFETY
1.3.1 INTRODUCTION
The EM equipment must be used solely in accordance with the safety instructions contained in this manual
and must never be used for purposes other than those for which it is intended.
Attention:
The equipment must only be used by personnel with proper knowledge of radiation protection
and full training in the use of X-ray equipment.
The EM equipment must always be manned when switched on.
The equipment must not be used if there are any electrical, mechanical or radiological failures.
Likewise, it must not be used in the event of a faulty alarm or signal.
Prior authorisation must be obtained in writing from ATS before making any modifications to this
equipment or its safety system.
Never remove any parts or covers, as this could compromise the equipment’s electromagnetic
compatibility.
If you wish to use the equipment in combination with other devices, components or modules
whose compatibility is not certain, you must make sure that there are no risks for patients or
operators. Consult the manufacturer of the device in question or an expert.
As with any technical apparatus, the X-ray equipment must be used in a proper manner and
receive regular checks and maintenance as specified in the "Maintenance" section of this
manual.
The monoblock may reach a temperature close to 60 °C after prolonged use. Do not touch the
monoblock or move it near the patient.

code 66 80 012 - Mti S1 01.doc
TECHNICAL MANUAL
1.3.2 SAFETY PROCEDURES
1.3.2.1 MECHANICAL SAFETY
Attention:
After positioning the equipment, apply the parking brakes.
Only use the special steering handles to move the equipment.
Avoid knocks.
Never remove the guards unless for the maintenance operations expressly foreseen by and
described in this manual.
1.3.2.2 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Attention:
Never use the EM equipment in potentially explosive environments.
Never use the EM equipment in oxygen-rich environments
Unplug the equipment from the mains before cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing it.
Cleaning products and disinfectants can form explosive gas mixtures. Therefore, only use
products that comply with the relevant safety regulations.
Take care not to spill conducting liquids on the equipment as these could infiltrate and so
damage the equipment and render it unsafe to use.
Protection against electric shock is provided by an earth connection (EM equipment, class I).
Make sure that the electrical plant to which the EM equipment is connected is properly
earthed in compliance with current laws and regulations.

code 66 80 012 - Mti S1 01.doc
TECHNICAL MANUAL
If the equipment suddenly malfunctions, use the emergency button (on the monitor unit or the
stand, as shown in the figure) to stop it and prevent the emission of X-rays.
Always switch the equipment off after use. When in use, always switch the equipment off using
the OFF key on the stand.
To switch the system off completely, use the key switch on the monitor stand, but only after
switching the stand off first.
Unplug at the mains only after first switching the system off using the key switch on the monitor
unit.
If the power cable becomes damaged, carefully remove it (holding it by the plug) and replace
with a new one from the manufacturer.

code 66 80 012 - Mti S1 01.doc
TECHNICAL MANUAL
1.3.2.3 EQUIPOTENTIAL EARTH CONNECTOR
For maximum patient and medical staff safety, the patient bed must
be earthed using the equipotential earth connector on the stand.
Use a cable with a Multi-Contact POAG-K4 or POAG-K6 connector to
connect this (see detail in figure below).
The equipotential earth connector must not be used for connection to the EARTH.

code 66 80 012 - Mti S1 01.doc
TECHNICAL MANUAL
1.3.2.4 LASER RADIATION
In order to centre the X-ray beam, the equipment uses 2 laser beam centring devices (optional) with class
1M laser diodes (optional) placed on the I.I. tube.
Never look directly at the laser beam through a lens.

Beware that the laser beam may be reflected by surgical instruments or other accessories used
during an operation.
A special warning plate (see figure) is fixed on the I.I. tube near the flange containing the two centring
devices, in the position shown in the figure below.
The laser diodes used are class 1M laser diodes (IEC/EN standard 60825-1 Ed.2).

code 66 80 012 - Mti S1 01.doc
TECHNICAL MANUAL
1.3.2.5 IONISING RADIATION PROTECTION
The EM equipment emits ionising radiation for medical purposes.
X-ray equipment can be harmful if not used in a proper manner.

These instructions must therefore be read in full and fully understood before the equipment can be used.
The use of this device involves two types of exposure to ionising radiation:
occupational, for operators
diagnostic, for patients being scanned.
Even though the equipment provides a high standard of protection against X-rays, beyond the actual
beam, no occupational measure can guarantee total protection. The operator must, therefore, take all
the necessary safety precautions to avoid the risk of exposure, to himself and others, arising from incorrect
or excessive exposure to radiation.
All operators must receive suitable training and adopt all necessary safety measures to avoid the risk of
harm.
The equipment is sold on the following condition (clause in the sale contract): the Manufacturer, its agents
and representatives cannot be held liable for any loss or injury that may be caused by improper use of the
equipment.
Before carrying out any exposure, make sure that all the necessary radiation protections have
been activated.
During X-ray use, the personnel present in the X-ray room must observe the radiation protection
regulations in force.
Always provide patients with the necessary radiation protection.
Use suitable personal radio-protective equipment. A radio-protective material equivalent to

0.35 mm of lead gives 99.95% protection against radiation of 50 kV and 94.5% protection
against radiation of 100 kV.
Below are examples of such personal radio-protective equipment:
Protective aprons
for operators
Protective aprons for patients

code 66 80 012 - Mti S1 01.doc
TECHNICAL MANUAL
Head protection for operators
Thyroid protection for operators
Scrotum protection for

male patients
Ovary protection
for female patients
Distance is the best protection against radiation: always keep as far away from the source of
the X-rays and the exposure objective as possible.
Use the manual switch at least 2 m from the X-ray beam to protect yourself further from the risk
of dispersed radiation.
Accordingly, the coiled cable of the manual switch is about 4 long when fully extended.
Always set the smallest exposure field possible by closing the collimator shutters/iris. In fact,
dispersed radiation depends to a large extent on the volume of the irradiated object.
Avoid moving or remaining within the X-ray trajectory.

code 66 80 012 - Mti S1 01.doc
TECHNICAL MANUAL
Use the largest possible skin-focussing distance to minimise the dose absorbed by the patient.
The dose values for the patient shown above (distance from focus = 100 cm and 50 cm) are:
2
⎛ 50cm ⎞
dose" A" = ⎜ ⎟ × dose" B"
⎝ 100cm ⎠
For example, if a patient at a distance of 50 cm from the focus receives a dose of 250uGy (dose “B”), when
that distance becomes 100 cm the received dose is:
2
⎛ 50cm ⎞
dose" A" = ⎜ ⎟ × 250uGy = 62,5uGy
⎝ 100cm ⎠
During every exposure, always make sure that the edge of the iris collimator is visible on the
image: if it is not possible to collimate this correctly, call the ATS Technical Service as there is the
risk that the collimator is not working and remains open at an excessive value.
Make sure that there are no materials within the X-ray beam that could diminish the intensity of
the X-rays and so lead to sub-standard images.
For example, the patient bed must conform to standard EN60601-2-54 table 203.104 (equivalent
aluminium filtration less than 2.3mm).

code 66 80 012 - Mti S1 01.doc
TECHNICAL MANUAL
1.3.3 RESIDUAL RISKS
The EM equipment has been designed and built in full respect of the safety regulations.
Nevertheless, there are still some risks involved in the use of this equipment if it is used incorrectly or the
prescribed safety measures are faulty.
With regard to risks due to improper use of the EM equipment, see the instructions and recommendations
above.
Note also that:
• Patients or operators may be harmed by uncontrolled movement of the monitor unit or the stand due
to excessively fast movement or steep surfaces.
- Never allow the monitor unit or the stand to pick up too much speed during movement.
- Never move the monitor unit or the stand on stairs or inclined surfaces with a gradient of more
than 10°.
- When moving the stand or monitor unit, avoid all obstacles on the ground (e.g. cables and
steps.
• The stand and monitor unit have been tested for stability during movement on inclined surfaces (up to
10° and all other positions on slopes of up to 5°.
- Never use the stand or monitor unit on surfaces with an incline of more than 5° (or 10° during
transit).
- Never try to move the stand or monitor unit when their brakes are engaged.
• In the case of uncontrolled movement of the C-arm, the mechanical structure may hit the patient or
operators.
- Keep the movement of the C-arm under control at all times.
• The monoblock may overheat after continuous and prolonged use of the equipment.
- Never cover the surfaces of the monoblock with material that prevents heat dispersion.
• Inflammable gases may be ignited by electric arcs due to the operation of electrical components.
- Never use the equipment in the presence of anaesthetics or other inflammable products.
- Check that there is a fire extinguisher in the room where the equipment is to be used and that
this is efficient.
With regard to residual risks due to faults in the prescribed safety measures, note that:
• Protection against electric shocks is provided by means of an efficient earth system for all metal parts
covering the equipment.
The full earth circuit (for both internal and external parts and the mains supply) should therefore
be checked for efficiency on a regular basis (see the "Routine Maintenance" schedule
described in this manual).
• If the LCD monitor screen is hit hard enough, it could break and scatter liquid crystal, which is toxic.
- Avoid hitting the monitor with any objects.

code 66 80 012 - Mti S1 01.doc
TECHNICAL MANUAL
• The column that raises the monoblock C-arm is motorised.

- If the motor responsible for moving the column is accidentally powered up, the operator should
immediately push the emergency button placed on the stand or on the monitor unit.
• If smoke is seen or unusual noises are heard:

- Switch the equipment off immediately and unplug at the mains.
• To control the residual risk of X-ray emission in the event of a system fault or incorrect adjustment, we
recommend checking the dose level every day, immediately after switching on the equipment
and before using it on patients (details of this test are given in paragraph 2.7).
1.3.4 SCRAPPING THE EM EQUIPMENT
Once the EM equipment reaches the end of its useful life, dispose of all its components in accordance with
the European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE).
Some parts of the EM equipment are built using hazardous materials, such as lead.
All flat batteries must be disposed of in accordance with European Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE).
See chapter 4 in Part 5 of this manual for further details.

Note 1: These guidelines might not apply to all situations. Electromagnetic wave propagation is influenced by the
absorption and reflection properties of structures, objects and people.
Note 2: The field intensity for fixed transmitters, such as docking stations for radio telephones (mobile phones and
cordless phones), two-way radio transmitters, pagers, amateur radio devices, AM and FM radio transmitters and TV
transmitters, cannot be determined in theory or to any degree of accuracy. A thorough electromagnetic survey of
the site is required to assess the electromagnetic environment caused by fixed RF transmitters. If the intensity of the
field measured in the room where the system is used exceeds the applicable compliance level indicated above,
you need to monitor the normal functioning of the system carefully. Additional measures may be required in the
case of abnormal performance, such as a different orientation or position for the system or use in a boosted RF
shielded environment enclosure.

TECHNICAL MANUAL
4.3.1 DYNAMIC RANGE (only for version 6 (see table 1 on preface chapter))
The Dynamic Range is the ratio between the average grey level and the max signal level supplied by
the TV camera.
The average grey level is the level of the output signal from the TV camera at the correct dose and with
uniform filtering of the X-ray beam.
The average grey level is always shown on the monitor as a value equal to half the output dynamics
(2048 LSB ±10%).
The optimal Dynamic Range value depends on the type of exam and/or the anatomical part being
irradiated.
If you go from 1:2 to 1:8 the dynamics shown on the screen expand.
For example, if you want to improve an image with glare, you need to increase the Dynamic Range
(e.g. going from 1:2 to 1:8).
The figure below shows the transfer function (LUT) for Dynamic Ranges 1:2 - 1:5 only.

2.10 I.I. TUBE CONVERSION FACTOR
On a regular basis, at least once every 12 months, you need to check and, if necessary, compensate
for the loss of the I.I. tube conversion factor (response).
Reference value: ATS has used an X-ray dose value of 35 µR/s, under the following conditions:
Conditions: - Normal I.I. field, normal dose.

- X-ray beam filtering with a 2 mm Cu filter on the collimator.
- X-ray dose measured at the front surface of the I.I. (under the grid).
Warning: if this test is carried out by measuring the dose on top of the grid, you
must take into account the absorption factor of the grid (see Test
Report).
Procedure:
- Compare the current dose value with those in previous tests.
- Assess the loss in the tube conversion factor on the basis of the increase in the dose.
This check is important to allow the system to adjust the X-ray dose automatically to suit the reading of
the I.I. tube light output: thus the loss of the I.I. tube conversion factor leads to an increase in the X-ray
dose.
The loss of the conversion factor can be compensated for, where possible, in three ways:
1 Increasing, where possible, the opening of the iris. Then:
2 Increasing the video gain of the TV Camera.

This will, however, lead to an increase in the electrical disturbance of the TV Camera and so
should only be used as long as the image remains acceptable.
3 Increasing (if necessary) the X-ray dose to the local legal limits.
When the above operations fail to have the required effect, replace the I.I. tube.

code 66 80 012 - Mti S3 02
TECHNICAL MANUAL
2.11 DOSE AREA METER EFFICIENCY TEST
The performance test for the Dose Area meter (DAM) involves comparing the value of the dose per
surface on the working monitor (mGy*cm2) with that calculated by reading a dosimeter.
- Place a dosimeter on the cover of the monoblock, with the collimators fully open, having a
sensitive area wider than the complete X-ray beam at that point.
The diameter of the X-ray beam at the monoblock cover should be approximately:
- 7 cm for the 9” I.I. tube,
- 8 cm for the 12” I.I. tube.
- Set the reference dosimeter for mGy.
- Select manual continuous fluoroscopy at 60 kV.
- Clear the dosimeter and reset the dose indication.
- Give the fluoroscopy command for about 10 seconds and then note the reading on the dosimeter.
- Multiply the dosimeter reading (mGy) by the value of the nominal sensitive area of the dosimeter
(in m2).
- Check that the difference between the calculated “dose*area” value and that shown on the
control panel display is not greater than 20%.
Example: - dosimeter sensitive area: 100 cm2 = 0.01m2

- reading on dosimeter: 8.93 mGy
- calculated dose*area: 8.93 mGy * 1000* 0,01m2 = 89.3 µGy*m2
- reading on monitor: 98 µGy*m2
- error %: (98 – 89.3) / 89.3 * 100 = 9.7%.
Contact the Technical Service if the error is more than 20%.

2.12 CHECKING THE KERMA AND KERMA RATIO INDICATIONS
The Reference Air Kerma and the Reference Air Kerma Rate values shown by the EM equipment are
automatically calculated on the basis of the set kV and mA. These values are used to define the patient
input reference point.
The Reference Air Kerma and the Reference Air Kerma Rate values cannot be adjusted.
THE PATIENT INPUT REFERENCE POINT is found along the X-ray beam, 30cm from the I.I.
tube under the measuring conditions specified by the standard EN 60601-2-54 (para.
203.6.3.102)
Standard EN 60601-2-54 (203.5.2.4.5.101 c) foresees a 50% tolerance in the values

shown.

2.2 ADJUSTING THE kV AND mA
Follow the procedure for adjusting the radiological

parameters using the functions in page 1 of SETUP 3:
• Adjusting the set kV.
• Adjusting the filament current in:

- Continuous fluoroscopy (I-FIL 1)
- Radiography:
- standard (I-FIL 2)
- high power (I-FIL 3)
- Pulsed HCF fluoroscopy (I-FIL 4, optional).
• Checking the kV applied to the X-ray tube.
• Checking the anode mA.
You must enter the technical password to access these stages in the setup procedure: “2006”.
Note1: Press the encoder dial twice to confirm the new settings and quit the Setup procedure: the first
time you press this, you confirm the parameter settings; the second time, you close the setup
menu.
Note 2: See the Annex in para. 5.4 of this part of the menu if the EM equipment uses 120 V AC.
Attention
The procedure requires that the voltage is measured at the points shown below:
- To measure the SET kV: connect an oscilloscope or digital voltmeter (DC) between CP1-10 (+)
and Tp5 (-) on inverter board PSM05.
The format is 1V = 20kV.
- To measure the real kV connect an oscilloscope (DC) between Tp3 (+) and Tp5 (-) on inverter
board PSM05.
- To measure the anode mA in fluoroscopy connect an oscilloscope (DC) between Tp2 (+) and
Tp5 (-) on inverter board PSM05.
The format is 1V = 1mA.
- To measure the anode mA in radiography connect an oscilloscope (DC) between Tp4 (+) and
Tp5 (-) on board PSM05.
The format is 1V = 10 mA.
- To measure the anode mA in pulsed HCF fluoroscopy (optional), connect an oscilloscope (DC)
on board PSM05.
- mA<10 between Tp2 (+) and Tp5 (-). The format is 1V = 1 mA.
- mA>10 between Tp4 (+) and Tp5 (-). The format is 1V = 10 mA.
- To measure the SET filament voltage connect an oscilloscope or digital voltmeter (DC) between
Tp13 (+) and Tp8 (-) on board B3.
The format is 1V ≅ 100mA (filament).
- To measure the Filament current (Ifilament) connect a TRUE RMS reading ammeter in the place of
jumper B3 - CM3: 1-3 (scale limit: ≥1A AC).

2.2.1 ADJUSTING THE SET kV
a) ADJUSTING THE MAX SAFE kV FOR THE INVERTER
- Check the position of jumpers J2A and J2B (2-3) on board PSM05: this sets the max safe value for the
inverter at 120 kV.
b) ADJUSTING THE SET kV
• Connect a digital voltmeter (DC) to inverter board PSM05 between CP1-10(+) and Tp5(-);
• Select field: SET 40 kV

- adjust the parameter to get a reading of: 2.00 V
- check the setting in the REAL kV field: 40kV±1kV.

c) CHECKING THE ADJUSTMENT
• Confirm the new parameter setting and quit the Setup procedure (press twice on the encoder).
Select all the intermediate kV values in the FLUOROSCOPY frame and check that the voltage
shown on the voltmeter is: V=kVset/20 ± 25mV
(e.g.: at 100 kV you should get V = 5 V ± 25 mV).
The “SET kV ERROR” appears if the REAL kV value differs from the set value by more than ±6 kV
during X-ray emission.

2.2.3 CHECKING THE kV AND mA
After adjusting the mA, you need to check the kV value (i.e. the real kV) and the inverter mA.
The precision tolerances foreseen by standard EN 60601-2-7 are ±5% for the kV and ±10% for the mA.
If the kV is not correct, repeat the above adjustments.
a) CHECKING THE kV AND mA IN CONTINUOUS FLUOROSCOPY
• Connect a two-channel oscilloscope:

- canal A between Tp3 (+) and Tp5 (-) on board PSM05 to read the real kV,
- canal B between Tp2 (+) and Tp5 (-) on board PSM05 to read the anode mA.
• Set the min kV value (40 kV).
• Give the X-ray command and read the kV and mA values on the oscilloscope:
- check that these are correct (see table below),
- check the wave-length by comparing it to the typical wave-length shown in figure 01a.
• Repeat the above steps, setting 70 kV and then 120 kV.

2.3 ADJUSTING THE X-RAY COLLIMATOR
Use the functions on page 2 of the SETUP 3 menu on the

control panel to adjust the X-ray collimator.
These functions let you set the following parameters:
- min iris aperture
- max iris aperture for each I.I. tube
zoom factor and for cassette
radiography
- max aperture of the parallel plates
- correction of the angle of the parallel plates
on the monitor
Access the Setup procedure by entering the technical password: “2006”.
• Select field: IRIS MIN

• Set 10.
• Read the iris aperture value in field IRIS REAL (e.g.: 35).
• Set the IRIS MIN value as that read.
• Select field: IRIS ZOOM 2

• Give the manual continuous fluoroscopy command at 40kV and adjust the parameter so that the
iris is just visible inside the electronic circle on the monitor.
• Select field: IRIS ZOOM 1

• Select field: IRIS NORMAL

• Select field: IRIS FILM RAD

• Depending on the I.I. tube, set the parameter as follows:
- IRIS NORMAL + 10 points (9” I.I. tube)
- IRIS ZOOM 1 + 10 points (12” I.I. tube)
• Select field: SHUT MAX

parallel plates are just visible inside the electronic circle on the monitor.
• Select field: SHUT ANG. (VIDEO PROCESSOR versions only).

• Give the manual continuous fluoroscopy command at 40kV and close the parallel plates so that
they are fully visible on the monitor. Without X-ray emission, adjust the parameter so that the angle
of the virtual indication of the parallel plates matches the real value on the monitor.
• Select field: SHUT ORIENT. (VIDEO PROCESSOR versions only).

• Set either SHUT ORIENT = 1 or SHUT ORIENT = 0 to suit the default image flip setting in the General
Settings of the DIP340 video processor (H-Flip or V-Flip, see para. 5.2 in Part 2)
• Give the continuous fluoroscopy command and check that the virtual indication of the plates on
the monitor turns in the same direction as the real plates.
• Quit the Set-Up procedure.

Important: the adjustment of the max aperture for each I.I. tube zoom factor must be adjusted
so that the edge of the collimator is still visible: this guarantees correct collimation of the X-ray
beam.

3.3 CENTRING THE X-RAY COLLIMATOR
The collimator consists of 2 distinct units:

- shutter (thin-plate) collimator,
- iris collimator.
To centre the collimator you need to adjust the position of these two items.
We recommend adjusting first the shutters and then the iris.
X- ray emission is required to check the adjustments.

Wear suitable protection and keep at a safe distance when checking the adjustments.
3.3.1 CENTRING THE SHUTTERS
Check the image of the shutters on the monitor:
// //

• Position the C-arm so that the X-ray axis is vertical and the monoblock is lowered.
• Remove the front cover on the monoblock (see paragraph 5.1.1 in Part 5).
• Remove the collimator cover (see paragraph 5.2.2.1 in Part 5).
• Select manual fluoroscopy, and set 40 kV.
• Select the nominal I.I. field.
• Give the command to open the iris completely.
• With X-ray emission, give the command to rotate the shutters until these are vertical and then adjust
their aperture so that the image on the monitor is about 2 cm from the edge of the electronic circle.
• If the image is asymmetrical, loosen the 3 bolts “A” (Fig. 8a and 8b) used to centre the shutters and
move the unit until the image is symmetrical.
• After centring the shutters vertically, rotate them horizontally, give the X-ray emission command and
check their position on the image.
• If you need to correct the centring: gradually move the shutter unit to get the best compromise
between its vertical and horizontal positions.
• Secure the shutter unit in position by tightening the 3 bolts “A”.

3.4 ADJUSTING THE COLUMN UP/DOWN MOVEMENT
You need to adjust the speed at which the stand column moves up and down and set the max current
for the motor.
These adjustments are done using the 3 potentiometers on board B4 (ASAC).

If this board needs to be replaced, you must check the following adjustments:
Potentiometer Name Function

P1 UP SPEED Used to adjust the up speed
P3 DOWN SPEED Used to adjust the down speed
P2 CURRENT LIMITATION Used to adjust the max current for the motor
• Start by adjusting:
- potentiometer P2 (CURRENT LIMITATION) by turning it fully clockwise to disable current
limitation,
- potentiometers P1 (UP SPEED) and P3 (DOWN SPEED) fully clockwise (min speed).
• Then adjust potentiometer P1 to get a column up speed of about 1 cm/s (column takes at least 45
seconds to rise completely).
• Adjust potentiometer P3 to get a column down speed of about 1 cm/s (column takes at least 45
seconds to rise completely).
You must set the max current for the motor (and thus the max force of the motor) at the min value
needed to get the column to rise and so that guarantee safe movement in the event of accidental
collisions between the column and other objects.
• With the longitudinal slide of the arc fully forwards, adjust P2 to the min current value that allows the
system to complete the up movement smoothly and without stopping.
Note: Motor absorption increases as the column approaches the top limit stop.
Typical motor current values:
- up: max 5 A
- down: max 1 A

4.3.4.1 TEST MODES
There are two possible settings for the TEST parameter:

- “1” - to activate TV camera Test1,
- “2” - to activate TV camera Test2.
These tests are useful when you want to check the efficiency of the TV camera connection cable and
the video processor reception/acquisition circuits.
You can run these tests in any image acquisition mode (continuous, pulsed or one shot fluoroscopy).
• Use Test1: the TV camera is forced to provide a constant video signal level at the output.
• Give the manual continuous fluoroscopy command at min kV and then check that the video levels
fall within the following range: 1364 - 1370 LSB (DR= 1:2).
Note: Use the Pixel View Manager function to read the video level (see para. 4.3.2.1 above).

TECHNICAL MANUAL
4.3.4.2 TV CAMERA SETUP
Follow the TV camera Setup procedure if you need to adjust the OFFSET or GAIN.
These adjustments are the same for all acquisition modes (continuous fluoroscopy, pulsed fluoroscopy or
one shot fluoroscopy).
a) Offset:
• Acquire images in manual continuous fluoroscopy mode at 40kV, making sure that the TV camera
cannot receive any light (close the collimators and insert a suitable metal filter to block the X-ray
beam).
• Adjust the Offset parameter to get a video level of between 1 and 100 LSB.
Note: Use the Pixel View Manager function to read the video level (see para. 4.3.2.1 above).
b) Gain:
The fixed value (typically 38) can be altered, if required, during subsequent adjustments.
Note: If the gain value is too low, the dynamics of the TV camera may be reduced.
c) Noise reduction filter (NRF):

You can choose between:
- OFF (filter disabled)
- 1 (min filtering)
- 2 (average filtering)
- 3 (max filtering).
Note: The filter lowers both the TV camera noise and the bandwidth. We only recommend using this if
you have no special resolution requirements.

4.3.6 AUTOMATIC DOSE CONTROL
Automatic dose control involves reading the video signal.

There are two steps in the adjustment procedure:
- adapting the signal from the camera,
- setting the reference dose value using the relevant Setup procedure.
Note: The dose must be measured on the face of the I.I. tube. Given that the I.I. tube is fitted with a
grid, you must first remove the grid to in order to place the dosimeter probe to sit under it (see
figure 14) and then return the grid to its original position.

• Isolating transformer TR1 must be fed using the120V AC input:

On terminal board TB2: - connect wire E to TB2-pin4
- connect wire F to TB2-pin2
• The two primary windings on transformer TR1 must be connected in parallel to board ASPS 00:
- point A to point B
- point C to point D

code 66 80 012 - Mti S4 05
TECHNICAL MANUAL
When fed with 120 V AC, the equipment works in basically the same manner, except for the fact that:
• The power of X-ray emission in radiography mode is halved:

o 40kV – 32mA and 100kV – 14mA for STANDARD radiography
o 40kV – 50mA and 100kV – 20mA for HIGH POWER radiography
• The power of X-ray emission in pulsed HCF fluoroscopy mode is halved (version 6 - see table 1 on
preface ):
o 40kV – 0.8mA and 70kV – 20mA
The adjustments needed for the reduced rate of X-ray emission are described below.
Access the adjustment options by opening the Setup3 menu on the touch screen panel (SET KV, I-FIL
and RX COLLIMATOR) as described in para. 4.1 in Part 2 of this manual.

5.4.1 ADJUSTING THE kV AND mA
Follow the procedure for adjusting the radiological

parameters using the functions in page 1 of SETUP 3:
• Adjusting the set kV.
• Adjusting the filament current in:

- Continuous fluoroscopy (I-FIL 1)
- Radiography:
- standard (I-FIL 2)
- high power (I-FIL 3)
- Pulsed HCF fluoroscopy (I-FIL 4, optional).
• Checking the kV applied to the X-ray tube.
• Checking the anode mA.
You must enter the technical password to access these stages in the setup procedure: “2006”.
Note1: Press the encoder dial twice to confirm the new settings and quit the Setup procedure: the first
time you press this, you confirm the parameter settings; the second time, you close the setup
menu.
Attention
The procedure requires that the voltage is measured at the points shown below:
- To measure the SET kV: connect an oscilloscope or digital voltmeter (DC) between CP1-10 (+)
and Tp5 (-) on inverter board PSM05.
- To measure the real kV connect an oscilloscope (DC) between Tp3 (+) and Tp5 (-) on inverter
board PSM05.
- To measure the anode mA in fluoroscopy connect an oscilloscope (DC) between Tp2 (+) and
Tp5 (-) on inverter board PSM05.
The format is 1V = 1mA.
- To measure the anode mA in radiography connect an oscilloscope (DC) between Tp4 (+) and
Tp5 (-) on board PSM05.
The format is 1V = 10 mA.
- To measure the anode mA in pulsed HCF fluoroscopy (optional), connect an oscilloscope (DC)
on board PSM05.
- mA<10 between Tp2 (+) and Tp5 (-). The format is 1V = 1 mA.
- mA>10 between Tp4 (+) and Tp5 (-). The format is 1V = 10 mA.
- To measure the SET filament voltage connect an oscilloscope or digital voltmeter (DC) between
Tp13 (+) and Tp8 (-) on board B3.
The format is 1V ≅ 100mA (filament).
- To measure the Filament current (Ifilament) connect a TRUE RMS reading ammeter in the place of
jumper B3 - CM3: 1-3 (scale limit: ≥1A AC).

5.4.1.1 ADJUSTING THE SET kV
a) ADJUSTING THE MAX SAFE kV FOR THE INVERTER
- Check the position of jumpers J2A and J2B (2-3) on board PSM05: this sets the max safe value for the
inverter at 120 kV.
b) ADJUSTING THE SET kV
• Connect a digital voltmeter (DC) to inverter board PSM05 between CP1-10(+) and Tp5(-);


c) CHECKING THE ADJUSTMENT
• Confirm the new parameter setting and quit the Setup procedure (press twice on the encoder).
Select all the intermediate kV values in the FLUOROSCOPY frame and check that the voltage
shown on the voltmeter is: V=kVset/20 ± 25mV
(e.g.: at 100 kV you should get V = 5 V ± 25 mV).
The “SET kV ERROR” appears if the REAL kV value differs from the set value by more than ±6 kV
during X-ray emission.

TECHNICAL MANUAL
1 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
1.1 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The equipment requires regular checks and maintenance. The following recommendations are aimed
at maintaining good operating and safety conditions.
The equipment contains mechanical parts subject to wear and tear as a result of their use. After a
prolonged period of use, it is possible that safety will be reduced due to wear and tear of the
components.
Regular inspections and maintenance are also needed to protect patients and operators from injury
arising from broken mechanical parts.
Correct adjustment of the electromechanical and electronic modules directly affects equipment
efficiency levels, image quality, electrical safety and the radiation exposure level to which both hospital
personnel and patients are subject.
The maintenance program, described in the paragraphs below, consists of checks and preventive
measures which are the responsibility of the owner and which should be carried out by expressly
authorised personnel.
Always use original spare-parts only whenever you need to substitute parts that may affect
machine safety.
1.2 CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
Do not use cleaning products that have a high alcohol content to clean the surfaces of the equipment.
Do not use corrosive detergents, abrasive products or solvents.
Adopt only methods that fully comply with existing safety standards (disinfecting and explosion
prevention procedures) to disinfect the equipment.
Adopt these precautions when cleaning and disinfecting the equipment:
- Switch the equipment off and unplug at the mains.

- Make sure that no liquids infiltrate the equipment to prevent short circuits and corrosion of
the electrical and electromechanical components.
- Use only a soft damp cloth and a soap solution to clean the panels.
- Wait for the panels to dry completely before using the equipment again.
- Monitors: pour some soap solution onto the cloth first and then clean the screens. Liquid
applied directly onto a monitor touch screen could penetrate the device and so damage it.
If using disinfectants that form explosive fumes, make sure that these have had a chance to
disperse before using the equipment again.

code 66 80 012 - Mti S5 01
TECHNICAL MANUAL
1.2.1 MICROBE CONTAMINATION
To avoid problems with microbe contamination for patients and operators, the user must ensure that
those parts of the equipment that could come into contact with the patient ( I.I. tube, monoblock and
the C-arm) are protected using disposable sterile sheets, or sheets that can be sterilised.
Disposable sterile sheets can be supplied on request.

Adopt only methods that fully comply with current safety standards to sterilise reusable sheets.
1.3 DAILY/WEEKLY CHECKS AND INSPECTIONS
Operators must receive special training to carry out the daily and weekly checks detailed in the table
below.
The other checks (see paragraph below) should only be carried out by qualified personnel authorised
to do so by the Technical Service.
Every day : - Check that the signals, displays, laser localizer and LEDs are working.
- Check that the warning and danger signs are not damaged.
- Check the efficiency of the fans at the rear of the monitor unit (VIDEO PROCESSOR
versions only)
- Check the X-Ray dose level (see para. 1.3.1, below).
- Check the max aperture of the X-ray collimator (see para. 1.3.2, below).
- Check the safe up/down movement of the stand column (see para. 1.3.3, below).
- Check the adjustment of the two monitors (see para. 1.3.4, below).
Once a week: - Check for oil leaks coming from the monoblock.
- Check the state of the cable sheaths.
- Check the state of the power connectors, the X-ray command footswitch and the
connections between the stand and the monitor unit.
1.3.1 CHECKING THE DOSE LEVEL
In order to prevent residual risks linked to X-ray emission should the system malfunction, or is not correctly
adjusted, we recommend carrying out the following check on the dose level on a daily basis,
immediately after switching on the equipment and before starting to scan patients.
a) Place one of the two copper filters supplied with the

equipment (2 mm Cu plate) on the monoblock
Give the command for continuous fluoroscopy.
Conditions:
- normal dose,
- automatic X-ray dose control mode,
- nominal I.I. field,
- X-ray collimator (iris or shutter) fully open.
C
- Check that the kV automatically set by the system
are equal (or within the tolerance) to those
indicated in the “X-ray dose verification” sheet
supplied with the filters.

code 66 80 012 - Mti S5 01
TECHNICAL MANUAL
b) In the same way, make a second fluoroscopy exposure using the filters supplied with the equipment
(total 4 mm Cu):
- Check that the kV automatically set by the system are equal (or within the tolerance) to those
indicated in the “X-ray dose verification” sheet supplied with the filters.
The table here shows the typical kV values.
kV Tolerance
2 mm Cu 65 ±1kV
4 mm Cu 81 ±1kV
Find out why any kV values might not be correct.

Do not use the equipment if you suspect a malfunction: contact Technical Service.
1.3.2 CHECKING THE MAX APERTURE OF THE X-RAY COLLIMATOR
With the iris fully open, make sure that it can just be seen around the edge of the image. This
guarantees that there is no risk of incorrect calibration or the malfunctioning of the collimator.
1.3.3 CHECKING THE SAFETY OF THE COLUMN STAND UP/DOWN MOVEMENT
We recommend checking the electrical safety circuit that prevents any uncontrolled movements of C-
arm every day, within 20 seconds of switching the equipment on.
To do this:
• Press an “up” and a “down” button at the same time and keep pressed for a few seconds.
The column should not move when you release these buttons.
If, however, the column does move (first up and then down by about 1 cm), then there is a fault in the
electrical circuit.
Replace the B4 ASMC 00 board if there is a fault.
You also need to check the speed at which the C-arm moves:
- Use the “down” button on the stand to lower the C-arm completely.
- Now press the “up” button on the stand to raise the C-arm and make a note of the time it
takes to reach its top position. This should take more than 40 seconds; if not, adjust the speed
on the board, as explained in paragraph 3.4 in Part 4 of this manual.
There might be a fault in board B4 if you are unable to adjust the column speed. Replace this
board immediately to avoid unnecessary risks.

code 66 80 012 - Mti S5 01
TECHNICAL MANUAL
1.3.4 CHECKING THE MONITOR ADJUSTMENTS (VIDEO PROCESSOR versions)
The two monitors display a test image every time you open a new study. Use this to check their
brightness and contrast levels (see para. 4.5 in Part 4 of this manual).
B
A
The monitors are correctly adjusted when you can see:

- the grey box inside the black square (position A),
- the grey box inside the white square (position B).
1.4 SIX-MONTHLY CHECKS AND INSPECTIONS
Carry out the complete Acceptance Test procedure once every 6 months or, in any case, in line with
current safety regulations.
Make a note of the results on the TEST SHEET (see para. 1.1 of Part 3 “ACCEPTANCE TEST”) together with
details of any action taken.

2.6 ADJUSTING THE I.I. TUBE POWER SUPPLY
Note: The voltage only needs to be adjusted if the I.I. tube power unit has been replaced.
The grid voltage of the I.I. tube needs to be calibrated at the manufacturer’s default setting (Thales) for
the specific I.I. tube.
The values are indicated on the Test Report

supplied by the manufacturer (Thales) and
enclosed in the document bundle
(see Figure 3).
EXAMPLE
Fig. 3
Test Points and Potentiometers:

The power unit has Test Points (see Fig.4) with continuous voltage in proportion to the actual grid
voltage.
The table below shows which voltage rates need to be adjusted using the relevant test points:
Voltage U3: adjust with trimmer G3 to define the size of the input image to suit the selected zoom
Voltage U2: adjust with trimmer G2 to get the best resolution in the centre of the image
Voltage U1: adjust with trimmer G1 to get the best resolution at the edge/in the centre of the
image
Ratio
Test point Unit
(V test point / V grid)
TP1 for voltage U1 0.01± 2% V/V
TP2 for voltage U2 1± 3% V/kV
TP3 for voltage U3 0.1± 6% V/kV

code 66 80 012 - Mti S5 02.doc
TECHNICAL MANUAL
Setup procedure:
After replacing the power unit and connecting all the connectors from the I.I. tube, switch the
equipment and carry out the following operations:
Select the nominal field and adjust the voltage rates as shown in the Test Report for Normal Mode:
- measure at TP3 and adjust voltage U3 with trimmer G3 = typically 350 mV
- measure at TP2 and adjust voltage U2 with trimmer G2 = typically 600 mV.
- measure at TP1 and adjust voltage U1 with trimmer G1 = typically1.5 V.
Select zoom 1 and adjust the voltage rates as shown in the Test Report for Magn.1:
- measure at TP1 and adjust voltage U1 with trimmer G1 = typically 1.8 V.
Select zoom 2 and adjust the voltage rates as shown in the Test Report for Magn.2:
G3
G2
G1
0V
TP3 TP2 TP1

Fig. 4
Note: If you cannot find the Test Report, adjust the voltage rates at the typical values shown above
and then correct manually to get the best image. We recommend adjusting voltage U2 last, as the
central resolution of the image is affected by the other adjustments.

4 SCRAPPING
4.1 PROCEDURES AND PRECAUTIONS
When scrapping the device, special care must be taken when handling the following components as
these can be hazardous when scrapped:
- The I.I. tube contains a vacuum tube which, should it break, can send shards of glass flying and
disperse powder and gas that may be toxic; it also contains lead that must be considered a
toxic material.
- The LCD monitor contains a screen which, should it break, can send shards of glass flying and
disperse substances that may be toxic.
- The monoblock contains a vacuum tube which, should it break, can send shards of glass flying;
it also contains lead that must be considered a toxic material; it also contains exhaust oil which
must be disposed of in accordance with the current local regulations.
- The X-ray collimator contains lead: this is a toxic material and must be treated as such.
- The equipment contains printed circuit boards which contain a certain amount of lead: this is a
toxic material and must be treated as such.
- The batteries must be disposed of in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC (Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment = WEEE standards).
Other parts of the equipment are:

- ferrous material (frames etc.),
- plastic (guards etc.),
- wiring,
- optical materials.
These parts are not considered to be a potential source of hazards when scrapping the device.
All parts should be disposed of in accordance with the prevailing regulations in each country
at the moment of scrapping.
The symbolon the right appears on the equipment to remind you that the equipment
meets the European Environmental Directives (2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC,
2003/108/EC) and so must be scrapped in accordance with the relevant laws for
separated waste disposal.
This equipment must not be disposed of as normal urban solid waste: it must be taken
to an expert waste disposal centre or returned to the dealer, should you wish to
replace it with a new model.

6.1 CREATING A BACK-UP DISK FOR THE DIP340 VIDEO PROCESSOR
We recommend creating a ghost image disk after any significant software upgrades or changes to the
system settings (e.g. DICOM settings, network settings).
Note: You need one or more unused CDs (or one DVD) to create the ghost CD/DVD.
This procedure creates a CD/DVD containing the full image of the system HD, i.e.:
- WINDOWS XP operating system,
- video processor hardware drivers,
- system working parameters,
- DICOM and local network communication settings.
The video processor CD/DVD drive is used for this procedure (on the front of the monitor unit).
