1.1 Introduction
Using the Pre-Installation Manual
This manual is the official source of prerequisites to install a General Electric (GE) Computed
Tomography (CT) system. Topics covered are site planning, site preparation, and the system
requirements. This manual is divided into requirements for the customer, the system, the environment
and on-site construction. It also includes the importance of addressing the local and national regulatory
requirements, which may be specific to your location.
A GE Project Manager (PM) will be available for specific questions or concerns. The PM’s primary
responsibility is to assist the customer with the siting requirements. This manual is a guide toward
the preparation for your GE CT system. Prior to any construction or installation, GE Project Manager
of Installation (PMI) must approve the completeness of all preliminary concepts, site plans, and final
working drawings.
System Effectivity
This Pre-Installation Manual is used with the following systems:
• Revolution CT
• Revolution Apex
• Revolution CT with Apex Edition
• Revolution CT ES
• Revolution Apex Select
Pre-installation includes the procurement and installation of required materials, and services necessary
for the installation and startup of a CT system.
Assigning a Site Project Coordinator
It is the customer’s (purchaser’s) responsibility to assign a site project coordinator. The site project
coordinator is the primary contact and liaison between with the construction planners, architects,
contractors, and any other site administrative personnel for all site related functions; reporting to the
purchaser.
The primary responsibility of the site project coordinator, working closely with GE PMI, is to ensure
the purchaser upholds all requirements outlined in this manual. To ensure a successful installation, it
is recommended that the site project coordinator manage the entire project from pre-install to final
startup and be familiar with all phases of pre-installation and installation of similar medical device
construction projects. The site project coordinator should read and understand the contents of this
manual and be familiar with the installation procedures.
Customer Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the customer to prepare the site in accordance with all the specifications
provided in this manual and be familiar with site-specific drawings and applicable regulations.
Consideration should be taken for future expansion during the design phase of the site. It is essential to
verify all aspects of the site configuration before construction has begun, as subsequent changes can be
costly or impractical.
Pre-Install Checklist A detailed pre-installation checklist is provided in this manual, see Customer
Pre-Installation Checklist on page 26. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure all requirements
on the checklist are fulfilled and that the site conforms to all specifications and requirements detailed in
this manual.
Planning and Design Work The customer will select the location of the site. All architectural,
mechanical, and electrical drawings associated with the design and planning of the site are the
responsibility of the customer. Any alterations or modifications to the drawings or to products not
specifically included in the sales contract are the customer’s responsibility. The customer shall provide
the site project coordinator, a clean and safe work environment including proper lighting. All floors,
walls and ceiling should be in a finished state prior to installation, and all site-construction renovation
completed.
Regulatory Compliance The customer shall be solely responsible for all regulatory compliance. All
work shall comply with national, state and local regulatory and building codes for the location in which
the installation occurs. This includes but is not limited to: permits, inspections, radiation licensing,
fire control devices, earthquake regulations, international building codes, service, structural, flooring,
vibration, HVAC, electrical, IT network, radiation protection, operational clearance requirements, and all
applicable codes.
Electrical Requirements The customer shall be solely responsible for providing all electrical material
and service required as outlined and illustrated in this publication. This includes but is not limited to:
Installation of all properly-sized junction boxes, outlets with covers, line safety switches, and fittings
installed at the locations specified in the site design. Supplying electrical power of the required voltage,
all necessary power supply cables and grounds, all necessary power cables and grounds to the PDU, and
an Emergency-Off switch in the scan room.
NOTE
GE does not provide or install conduits, junction boxes, or ducting illustrated in this
publication. GE only supplies part of the wires in this publication and customers have to
supply the rest of wires.
Accessory Installation Accessories ordered for use on the Revolution CT system come with their
own service manual and installation instructions provided by the OEM (non-GEHC) supplier. For items
not installed by GE Service, the customer must ensure that the accessory is installed per OEM
specifications. For ceiling, wall or floor mounted accessories ensure the item is mounted properly and
will not be a hazard to users. GE is not responsible for the contents and accuracy of the non-GEHC
supplied OEM installation manual.
For items installed by GE Service but for which the pre-installation is under customer responsibility,
customer must ensure that the pre-installation work is performed per OEM specifications. For any
ceiling, wall or floor support structure part of the pre-installation requirement, the customer must
ensure those structures have been validated by a mechanical engineer. GE is not responsible for the
contents and accuracy of the non-GEHC supplied OEM installation manual.

using Remote Services Platform (RSvP).
Mechanical Installation DOC1547342 This form does not need to be retained. Its
Completion Checklist designed to provide a logical hand off of the
Installation process from one Installation team
to another. It is meant to ensure that all tasks
up to this point have been completed. The Lead
Mechanical Installer should complete the form
and confirm with the GE FE on sites the prog-
ress of the installation. Checklist items that are
NOT complete should be discussed with the GE
FE on site to ensure a smooth transition from
one team to another.
e4879 Installation Form BBGLY0389 The e4879 form is required and must be sub-
mitted globally every time a system is installed
or certified component is replaced. This is not
a regulatory form but is required by GE Health-
care for all locations.
Floor Levelness Measure- DOC1766027 Used by Program Manager to record the floor
ment Form levelness measurement prior to the installa-
tion.
NOTE
All service documentation and forms are located on SIMS Content Viewer.
If the gantry and table must be moved from the location defined on the site print, stop and consult
with customer and local building inspectors to ensure that there is adequate Safe Service space and
also Safe Service Egress. Refer to the existing site print for dimensional information and Work Space
Requirements on page 77 Section 3.1 for the minimum distances for the safe servicing of the CT
scanner.
Floor specifications
From a layout perspective, Revolution CT can be installed in most of the rooms previously occupied
by VCT (w/2000 table) or CT750 HD (w/2000 table). However, DO NOT automatically assume the floor
levelness is within specification, simply because an existing system is installed. The Revolution CT
(gantry and table) is about 1361 kg (3000 lbs) heavier than the CT750 HD. Also, due to the increased
detector coverage size (either 2x for 80 mm or 4x for 160 mm compared to HD750), the table/gantry
alignment specifications are accordingly tighter. As such, it is very important to check and recognize
early in the site planning process that the floor shall maintain the levelness specifications under the
much heavier weight of the Revolution CT.
The customer is responsible to meet the flooring requirements defined by this pre-installation manual.
• It is recommended to install the Revolution CT gantry on a concrete surface. In some sites it may be
necessary to install the gantry on a raised platform. It is the customer’s responsibility to contract a
structural engineer to design the details based on the information in Requirements of Installing the
Revolution CT Gantry on a Support Structure on page 171.
• The minimum concrete floor thickness beneath the gantry and patient table shall be 102.0 mm (4.0
in.).
• Wood, asphalt and marble floors are prohibited in the foot pad load bearing areas under the gantry
and the patient table.
• If the concrete floor has a floor covering installed over it (such as floor tile), the foot pad load bearing
areas under the gantry and the patient table shall be cut into the flooring to ensure the table and
gantry rest on a solid surface. (Openings cut during installation.)
• Refer to Weight and Floor Loading Data on page 51 for the load of the system on the concrete floor
directly beneath the table and gantry.
• The GE floor template is used to locate the table and gantry anchor holes, as well as measuring floor
levelness (details in GE Revolution CT installation manual). Be sure to order the correct template for
the table type shown in Table 1-1 GE floor template part number by table type on page 23 below.
Contact the GE project manager to order the GE floor template.
NOTE
Anchor locations for NG-2000 tables (transporter type) are completely different from
the NG-2000V / NG-1700V tables (both are transporterless, but share a common base
anchoring footprint).
Table 1-1 GE floor template part number by table type
• The floor shall have no greater than 6 mm (0.25 in.) levelness over a 3 meter (9.8 ft.) range under the
full system load. Levelness is defined as the distance between the highest and lowest points on the
floor. Refer to the following floor levelness procedure under Floor levelness check on page 31 for
how to do floor levelness check.
• For sites that will not be using tools from Joboxes defined by Service Operations, a concrete drill bit
must be special ordered separately.
1. Non-Seismic Installation
The non-seismic 1/2 inch anchors provided require a 1/2 inch masonry drill bit to drill a
minimum of 14 holes in the concrete floor. This drill bit is not provided and should be acquired
prior to the first day of install. The recommended drill bit for SDS and SDS Plus type hammer
drill chucks is: Bosch mfg # HCFC2084, Grainger part number: 36H612 or equivalent. This
specific drill bit has a full cutter head and is designed to drill through rebar. The overall length of
the drill including shank is 12 inches. The shank size is 25/64. The use of drill bit with less than
a full cutter head may result in incorrect hole size. it may also cause a delay in the installation
due to excessive drill tip wear if rebar is hit during the drilling process.
2. Seismic Installation
The 5/8 inch seismic anchors, nuts and 5/8 inch drill bit required for seismic installations are not
provided by GE. The type and length of the anchors, nuts, and drill bit must be defined in the
alternative seismic anchoring plan and purchased separately by the customer.
• For older facilities, if the scan room flooring (floor tile, for example) is to be installed or replaced
after the gantry and table are installed, the floor should be clean-finished with a dust-free concrete
before system is installed.
• The flooring along the path from where the system will be delivered to the Scan Suite where the
system will be installed should be evaluated. For finished floors, adequate space must be present to
lay down sheets of fiberboard (masonite) with a minimum thickness of 6.35 mm (1/4 inch) in front of
the subsystem dolly wheels as they are moved through the facility.
DO NOT move any subsystem from the loading dock or unloading platform location unless the
finished floor is protected. This is the responsibility of the delivery company. Use of protective
sheets of fiber board (masonite) is required to roll and move subsystem components to the scan
suite.
• Do not place the scanner on any resilient flooring. Resilient tile or carpeting may slowly yield over
a period of time and disturb the alignment of the table to the gantry. Refer to the floor template to
determine locations where resilient flooring material should be removed.
• Evaluate the flooring material within the scan suite. Installation requires cutting holes in the
existing finished floor covering material (if present), such as resilient tile.
DANGER
HEALTH RISK
Flooring material may contain asbestos or lead. Installation procedures will create
fine dust from existing flooring material.
Confirm with the customer that the type of flooring material in the scan suite does
not contain asbestos or lead.
DANGER
HEALTH RISK
It is the responsibility of the customer to determine if the floor or resilient tile
contains any hazardous material such as lead, asbestos, and so on. If a hazardous
material is present, appropriate safety and abatement procedures must be followed
before the installation can proceed. If there is any suspicion that the floor contains a
hazardous material, report it to the customer.
Appropriate PPE is required when working with hazardous materials.
• Before drilling through or cutting away any finished flooring material, make sure a discussion on
the procedure is had with the customer. Also make sure the appropriate hospital personnel have
approved the location of the table and gantry. The customer must verify that the placement of the
gantry and the table correctly matches their specified location, as detailed in the site print. The
customer must approve the location of the gantry and table before cutting away any flooring or
drilling into the concrete floor. The customer must have signed a GE Healthcare Penetration Permit
to allow for GE or GE contracted personnel to drill into the concrete floor. The customer may chose
to use in house facility personnel or 3rd party contractors to drill the holes for the anchoring of the
table and gantry. (For seismic active locations there will be additional holes required in the floor to
mount the other subsystems to the floor).
• For new construction, refer to the site print and avoid embedding rebar, electric conduits or any
object that will interfere with the installation of the anchors in the concrete directly beneath the
table and gantry footprint.
• Shims are not recommended to level the gantry or patient table.
NOTE
In some cases, it is found during the non-seismic system installation (once system
weight is applied to the floor) that the table or gantry needs a shim in order to meet
the required alignment specs. GE provides a Revolution CT shim kit in anchor collector
5488900-2 for non-seismic installation. It shall only be used if absolutely needed for
the non-seismic installation. Restrictions and instructions in the installation manual
regarding the shim kit shall be followed if the shim kit is used. Refer to Weight and Floor
Loading Data on page 51 for floor loading data with shims.
Final confirmation of installation site readiness shall be made by all contractors associated with the
project; structural engineer/architect, HVAC contractor, electrical contractor, qualified radiological
health physicist, cleaning service, and so on.
• Schedule of Site-Ready Visit
To ensure timely system delivery and installation, the customer shall complete all necessary work
listed in this Pre-Installation Manual and schedule a site-ready Project Manager (PM) visit prior to
system delivery.
• Pre-installation Checklist
The customer shall also verify site readiness by filling out and signing the following Pre-Installation
Checklist. The checklist shall be completed.
The PM will work in cooperation with the customer to follow up and ensure that actions in this
checklist are complete, and if necessary, will aid in the rescheduling of the delivery and installation
date.
Table 1-2 Customer Pre-Installation checklist - required information for site
NOTICE
Due to tighter alignment specifications to meet system Image Quality (IQ), the GE
Revolution CT requires the floor to be within the spec. Even if an older CT machine is in the
room, regardless of CT model or manufacture, DO NOT assume the floor is automatically
within specification.
Based on the room condition (empty room or equipment occupied room), select the appropriate section
below to measure the floor levelness. PM must make sure the final floor levelness measurements pass
the specifications shown in5.3 System Interconnection and Cabling on page 150.
Empty room
1. Remove the floor template from the cardboard tube, if you do not have the template, proceed to
Step 6 instead.
Item Description
1 Front Gantry Profile Template
2 Rear Gantry Profile Template
2. Roll out the table template (3) first. Align it according to the location defined on the site print and
tape it to the floor.
3. Roll out the front Gantry Profile Template (1) and align it to the ISO line marked on the table
template and tape it to the floor.
4. Roll out the rear Gantry Profile Template (2) in a location that is NOT on the other two templates
and cutout the alignment squares marked Cutout Here on the template using scissors.
5. Place the rear Gantry Profile Template (2) over the table template and the front Gantry Profile
template (1) while looking through the alignment holes align the template to the other two
templates and tape it down. Skip Step 6 and proceed to Step 7.
6. Place a small mark or tape on the floor that locates the position of the table template as defined on
the site print. Then place tape at 2200 mm (86.5 inches) along that center line to mark the center of
the machine.
Figure 1-2 Position laser on template
7. Position the laser so it is 243 cm (96 inches) from the left or right of the center line mark from Step
6 or along the position 4 6 7 as shown in the Floor levelness measurement locations - empty room
figure below. The laser can be on the floor or raised up slightly. The recommended spot is the flat on
the floor as it removes some inaccuracy when measuring.
8. Measure the distance from the floor to the laser line at each location in Figure 1-3 Floor levelness
measurement locations — empty room on page 35 and record the measurements in Floor
Levelness Measurement Form (DOC1766027). The form must be printed out, signed and kept by
PM as the record for future checks. NOTE: If you do not have the template, Table 1-9 Floor point
locations on page 35 shows the distances of each point to take. You can mark this with tape. The
measurement can be done with the square or tape measure. Make sure that the tape measure is as
vertical as possible when reading.
9. Turn off the laser and put it back into the alignment kit.
10. If the floor template used is the one that will be used for the installation, carefully roll up all three
sections and place them back into the cardboard tube.
3. Position the laser from the install kit on the right behind the simulated table base and turn it on
to project a horizontal beam across the floor template areas shown in Figure 1-4 Floor levelness
measurement locations — equipment occupied room on page 37. Point 9 and Point 10 are the same
spot, but 9 is measured from location A and 10 is measured from location B.
4. Measure the distance from the floor to the laser line at each simulated location and record the
measurements in Floor Levelness Measurement Form (DOC1766027). The form will tell you if the
floor is within specifications. The form must be printed out, signed and kept by PM as the record for
future checks.
5. Turn off the laser and put it back into the alignment kit.
6. If the floor template used is the one that will be used for the installation, carefully roll up all three
sections and place them back into the cardboard tube.
Specifications check
Use the measurements to verify the floor is within specification. The Floor Levelness Measurement
Form (DOC1766027), which can be found in the installation forms of the service docs website, will
automatically tell you if the floor is within specifications. The floor must meet the minimum levelness
specification of: 6.0 mm (1/4 inches) over 3.5 m (10.0 ft.) between the table and gantry.
NOTICE
If the floor does NOT meet the Floor Levelness Specification, immediately notify the
customer to fix the problem. Consult engineering if necessary on how to proceed.
NOTICE
This document should be reviewed by the GE Project Manager of Installation (PMI) and site
service personnel a minimum of 6 weeks prior to the actual installation.
NOTICE
It is highly recommend that the PMI review the product installation manual prior to
starting an installation to ensure no major changes to the install process requires
additional pre-work.
Task Description
Site Dimensions Project manager shall measure and verify all site dimensions to en-
sure the facility can accommodate the delivery of the system (and any
related components or equipment), from the delivery drop-off point
to the scan suite.
Delivery Type Project manager shall determine type of delivery: loading dock or
ground level. Ground level delivery may require a fork truck.
Delivery Equipment Project manager shall determine if delivery requires special dollies,
lifting crates, or riggers. PM shall order any additional delivery equip-
ment and all necessary delivery personnel.
NOTE
The CT gantry or its sections cannot be lifted or trans-
ported by any means other than pallet or the dolly the
system it was delivered with. Otherwise, serious damage
to the gantry could result.
Identify Delivery Route Project manager shall identify the delivery route, which may include
any elevators, doorways, and hallways necessary to accommodate
the delivery of all system components.
NOTE
The customer's structural engineer of record is responsi-
ble for making sure the floor material and design along
the delivery route (loading dock, halls and rooms) meets
the forces and weight requirements for the delivery of
the individual subsystems to the final installation loca-
tion within the facility.
Non-Construction-Zone Route to Scan Suite Project manager shall verify an accessible, dust-free, non-construc-
tion-zone delivery route to the scan suite.
Packaging Requirements Project manager shall order any construction site packaging require-
ments prior to shipment. Packaging cannot be modified once the
system is shipped.
Floor Protection Project manager shall determine if floor protection is required along
facility delivery route and communicates requirement to delivery
company/personnel.
**Often the table and the gantry will need to be turned in the hallway to enter the scan room. If there
is enough room in the hallway, the minimum doorway width will be smaller. If the hallway is smaller in
width, the doorway width must increase. This table represents minimal requirements when combined
with average door width sizes.

Delivery types and system lifting and rigging restrictions
DANGER
DANGER
NOTICE
If it is determined that the subsystems must be lifted by crane or other lifting method
the PM or person responsible for local siting of the system shall NOT proceed with the
installation without consulting with GE Engineering. The GE PMI is responsible for getting
consultation.
Lifting the subsystems by crane or other lifting method should always be avoided. All alternate
methods of delivery should be evaluated including the removal of any obstructions, doorways, walls,
and windows.
If lifting is still required, see System shipping dimensions and weight on page 42 for shipping weight and
dimensions:
1. The entire gantry assembly and both gantry transport side dollies must be placed on a lifting
platform. GE does not provide a lifting platform.
The Stationary Assembly shall be lowered to its transport position with the gantry base in contact
with the platform. The Rotating Assembly shall be lowered to its transport position resting on the
dolly transport pads in contact with the platform.
NOTE
If the platform has limited space, the gantry transport side dollies may be removed
during the lift. Once the lift is completed, the gantry transport side dollies must be
installed back on the gantry assembly.
2. The entire patient table must be on its dollies and lifted while sitting on a lifting platform.
The patient table on its dolly shall be lowered to its transport position so the table base is in contact
with the platform.
3. The platform must be designed such that no lifting straps or cables come in contact with any part of
the gantry or table subsystems or its side dollies.
4. The lifting platform shall bear the entire load. No part of the subsystem shall bear any load during
the lift.
NOTE
If delivery requires vertical or horizontal lifting, the PM needs to add the necessary identifier
to the order.
Table 1-15 Shipping temperature and humidity ranges for excluded items
After delivery to the scan suite and before unpacking any system components, allow 12 hours for the
equipment to adjust to room temperature to avoid condensation or rapid temperature change. This
12 hour warm up period is not required if the shipping environment meets the same temperature
and humidity requirement as the scan room and the system components are already at steady room
temperature.
Unpacking System
Do not remove any protective wrapper or packaging from any system component until all construction
is complete and all construction dust is removed from the installation site.
Do not remove the scanner desktop from the shipping skid until after the unit has been delivered to the
scan suite location.
Storage
If storing a system prior to installation, the system shall be stored in its original packaging in a
temperature and humidity controlled environment protected from water and dust. It is advised that
storage of the system be no longer than six months. If storage is going to exceed six months, contact
your PM for long-term storage procedures.
Table 1-16 Humidity and ambient temperatures for storage**
Ambient temperature shall be maintained within a range of: +4 to +27° C (+40 to +80° F)
Maximum rate of change in the temperature shall be no greater than: 3° C per hour (+5.4° F)
Relative humidity (non-condensing) shall be maintained within a range of: 20 to 60% RH
Maximum rate of change in the relative humidity shall be no greater than: 5% RH per hour
** Delivery van/truck storage shall meet these same requirements.
The estimated floor footprint of all the packages shipped with a standard Revolution CT system takes up
an area approximately 45.5 feet (1386.8 cm) long by 8.5 feet (259.1 cm) wide by 7.0 feet (213.4 cm) high.
Construction sites
The site for delivery and installation must be a dust-free, occupancy-ready state. If the site is under
construction or adjacent construction, the system and all its components must be packaged for
construction site. Determine if the system will be Stored or Installation at this site.
1. Construction Site Storage
• Construction site packaging must be ordered and the system shipped packaged for storage.
• Do not damage or puncture the shipping crate.
• Do not remove packaging until the completion of all construction at the site and the removal of
all dust created by the construction.
5418654-1EN Revision 19 Pre-Installation Manual 49/175
Revolution CT, Revolution CT ES, Revolution Apex, Revolution CT with Apex 1.4 Delivery and Handling
Edition, Revolution Apex Select
• Maintain a storage temperature within the range outlined in the Pre-installation Manual.
• Maintain a relative humidity as outlined in the Pre-Installation Manual.
2. Construction Site Installations
A construction installation describes installations at sites without an occupancy permit, or ongoing
construction. In general, construction sites fail to meet the required specifications for system
delivery, and GE Healthcare does not recommend such installations, as they can result in delays,
increased costs, and possible damage to the system. When construction-site delivery proves
unavoidable, the installation falls into one of two categories:
• Full construction site with completed radiology area.
This type of site consists of a finished, dust-free, occupancy-ready radiology suite at a site with
ongoing construction in other areas, but with no remaining construction in or around the scan
suite area. At the time of delivery such sites feature:
a. Dust control measures deployed in the radiology suite area.
b. Scan suite access limited to a single entrance.
c. Radiology suite sealed off from the remaining construction area.
d. Operational HVAC, with a positive air pressure within the radiology suite.
In addition, the radiology suite at such a site REMAINS in a dust-free, occupancy-ready state
after delivery and throughout the remaining construction phase.
• Full construction site with limited delivery access.
This type of site allows delivery during ongoing construction of the radiology suite area.
Construction site packaging must be ordered and the system is delivered packed for
construction site storage. Packaging cannot be added during the delivery.
At full construction sites, delivery occurs prior to site completion, but the product remains
stored until the completion of a finished, dust-free, occupancy-ready radiology suite area. This
system is delivered in sealed packages with dollies. Delivery to the storage area requires a
lift truck or riggers. Installation work can begin only when the site reaches the completed,
dust-free, occupancy-ready radiology suite requirement.

NOTE
Revolution Apex and Revolution with Apex Edition is equipped with a Partial UPS and must be
considered in the list below. On Revolution CT, Revolution ES, and Apex Select the Partial UPS
is an option and not a required factor for this list.
Scan Room Requirements
The minimum size for the scan room may vary. Factors to consider are:
• Room workflow
• Patient care accessibility
• Critical care equipment requirements
• Safety egress and door swing egress
• Possible future system option upgrades or purchases
• Local regulatory codes
• Cabinets
• Sink
• Medical gas access/clearances
How items are configured in the scan room will also have an impact, refer to the next section on Work
Space Requirements.
Control Room Requirements
The minimum size of the control room may vary due to factors like room workflow, size of counter
or furniture used to position the monitors, keyboard, and other scanner desktop equipment. Most
important and required is a clear line of sight from the operator workstation (monitor/keyboard) to the
patient on the table in the scan room. The operator must be able to see the patient during the scanning
process while at the operator workstation in case of patient distress.
Leakage Envelope of the Scan Room
The enclosure Leakage Envelope ensures the patient undergoing a scan cannot touch or otherwise
contact any conductive surface. As in Figure 2-29 Patient Care Vicinity Envelope/Enclosure (Patient
Touch) Leakage Envelope on page 76, a zone is defined in the scan room only, where the enclosure
leakage must be tested. Areas that fall outside of this envelope DO NOT need to be tested. The intent
of this graphic is to provide the PMI with a view of potential electrical devices, plumbing fixtures,
hospital gas outlets, and metal surfaces that may fall within this scan room envelope, which may
require additional grounding prior to customer turnover. [Height of envelope from floor-to-ceiling. IEC-3
(International Electrical Code Section 3) = 2290.0 mm (90 in.). UL60601-1 (2.12.20 DV Addition) .]
NOTE
The enclosure leakage envelope has nothing to do with Regulatory Work Space Clearance or
Safe Egress requirements for Service Personnel (NFPA 70).

room with a minimum width of the egress path of no less than 712.0 mm (28.0 in.). The end of the
patient table to the wall should be at least 152.4 mm (6.0 in.).
NFPA 70 (Table 110.26) 2011 Edition GE requires the following minimum work space requirements for
the safe servicing of the product.
The required work space has several conditions defined by the (U.S.) National Electrical Code (NEC)
and adopted by GE as minimum siting conditions for all CT scanner installations. These conditions are
defined by the wall type and accessibility/exposure to: electrical power panels, electrical outlets, surface
mounted conduits, plumbing, hospital gases, or surface ground points directly opposite exposed CT
equipment.
Figure 2-30 Work Space Conditions (unit: mm (inches))
Work space clearances apply to equipment operating at 600 V or less, where examination, adjustment,
servicing, and maintenance is likely to occur with live parts exposed. System servicing requires a space
for one service engineer to accomplish all system component replacement and service tasks.
There shall be sufficient working space in the scan room to allow adequate egress during service
operations. If the customer and PM have any concern that the site will not provide adequate work space
for egress under these conditions, the necessary provisions should be made to accommodate this event.
Refer to Figure 2-31 Minimum Regulatory and Service Envelope on page 80.
The customer shall maintain the required regulatory clearance distances and not use these areas
for storage. This applies during normal system operation and during service inspection and routine
maintenance.
5418654-1EN Revision 19 Pre-Installation Manual 79/175
Revolution CT, Revolution CT ES, Revolution Apex, Revolution CT with Apex 2.3 Work Space Requirements
Edition, Revolution Apex Select
It is important to review operational clearances to verify daily use items will properly fit (beds, carts,
wheelchairs, and so on.). In addition, it is also necessary to consider clearances for emergency medical
equipment.
Minimum Regulatory and Service Envelope Figures
• Minimum regulatory and service envelope figure below is not scaled to reflect actual dimensions.
• The dimensions in the figure below have been defined for the purpose of determining the smallest
room size possible. Specific scan suite dimensional requirements as well as local regulations must
also be considered when determining the minimum room size.
• Distances within the figure below are defined by service requirements and do not take into
consideration the need for adequate space around the scanner for medical equipment used during
the normal operation of the scanner. The customer is responsible for making sure that adequate
room exists to perform required tasks while tending to the needs of patients within the patient care
vicinity.
• The figure below shows multiple doorways or exit points from the scan suite. Not all of these
doorways are required. These doorways are part of the drawing in order to define possible exit
points that are required based on egress pathways for the safe service of the system.

The X-Ray tube includes a dolly ("skate") within the FRU crate, but this dolly is used only to
maneuver the FRU crate into position in front of the gantry, not the tube itself.
The following figure provides dimensions for the largest FRU crate by region. It is also important
to consider the rear gantry cover with dollies attached. Figure 2-34 Gantry Rear Cover with
Dollies on page 83 provides dimensions for the rear cover with yellow dollies attached.

For the example in Figure 2-32 Gantry FRU Crate Access Regions with Example FRU Access
Paths on page 82 above, assuming the minimum 762 mm (30 inch) clearance width is met at the
foot of the table and on the right side of the gantry (when facing the bore from the foot of the table), the
gantry FRU crate access to Regions 2, and 3 would be around the foot-end of the table to Region 2, and
around the right-side of the gantry to Region 3. This acceptable, even if FRU access in not possible on
the left side, as shown in this example for a small room layout. Other room layouts will be different, but
when placing the system on the room drawing, be certain to consider door entry ways and obstructions
that may obstruct a clear path or limit the minimum FRU crate width for access to all three regions.
Before submitting a Concession Request, check to see if the system may be rotated and/or translated
within the room layout to achieve a clear path to all three regions.
When positioning a PDU, consider regulatory compliance. Also, refer to the room layout figure in Figure
2-31 Minimum Regulatory and Service Envelope on page 80 Minimum Regulatory Scan Suite Layout
Configuration.
PDU is on wheels and can be moved around for service.
Consider the possibility of a future replacement of a PDU when placing them into the scan room. Make
sure there is adequate space to move for replacement purposes.
System Cabinet Configuration Requirements
Related information can be found in System Cabinet Air Flow on page 51 and HVAC Map For System
Cabinet on page 142.
• Do not block upwards exhaust flow.
• The system cabinet is on wheels and can be pulled away from the wall for service. Upon completion
of service, the system cabinet shall be placed no closer than 152.4 mm (6.0 in.) on any side near a
wall.
• On both ends of the system cabinet, a clearance of 600 mm (23.6 in) is required to open the doors
for service. If replacing components inside the cabinet, the system cabinet can be pulled away into
an area that has 960 mm (37.7 in) of clearance space.
• Thermostats shall not be in the System Cabinet exhaust.
Service (Storage) Cabinet Space Requirements
The minimum dimensions for a storage space or storage cabinet is nominally: 610.0 mm (24 in) deep
by 914.0 (36.0 in) Wide by 1067.0 mm (42.0 in) high. A storage cabinet or defined storage space is
required, at the customer expense, to store service equipment purchased with the system. The storage
space solution does not have to be located in the Scan Room. GE recommends that the storage of
the service equipment be located as close as possible to the scan suite if not located inside the scan
suite. A customer supplied cabinet requires adequate space provided by the customer (See Pre-Install
Checklist— Site Planning Requirements). NOTE: The service equipment is the property of the customer
and shall NOT be removed from the site and/or stored off-site by GE Healthcare personnel.

2.4 Anchoring
WARNING
NOTICE
If rebar is hit when drilling a hole, immediately stop drilling and use the alternate anchor
point for that anchor. If rebar is hit in the alternate anchor point, contact GE PM. The local
inspector must be contacted before drill through rebar in the floor.
It is the responsibility of the customer of the system to have a licensed structural engineer work in
conjunction with a qualified contractor to mount the gantry and patient table to the floor. The customer
shall consult a licensed architect, licensed structural engineer, qualified contractor, or the PM to resolve
all anchoring issues. The customer or customer's structural engineer is responsible for making sure
that the floor material and design meets the forces and weight requirements for the installation and
anchoring of the subsystems to the floor.
Surface Preparation and Requirements
Prior to GE personnel drilling holes in the floor, conduit, or any customer surface; a penetration permit
for customer approval of the penetrations is required. See GE Surface Penetration Permit for details.
Each floor anchor shall be installed to clear any structural object hidden or buried in the floor. (Hidden
objects could be floor beams, rebar, and concrete wire mesh.) Anchors shall be installed no less than
100.0 mm (3.9 in.) from the edge of the concrete slab or from any expansion joint. The anchor supplied
by GE for non-seismic anchoring purposes is: 12.7 mm (1/2 in.) HILTI Anchor Stud KWIK-BOLT (KB3) with
an extended thread. The minimum concrete floor thickness beneath the gantry and patient table shall
be 102.0 mm (4.0 in.).
Anchoring Sequence
Due to tight table/gantry alignment requirements, pre-drilling and pre-anchoring the gantry or table
is prohibited. The installation workflow sequence, specified in the Revolution CT System Installation
procedure, shall be followed. For example, the table shall be anchored after the table/gantry fine-
alignment is complete. Pre-drilling or pre-anchoring can severely restrict the fine alignment process,
causing adverse impacts to image quality.
Anchor Hammer Drill Bit
The anchor provided requires a 1/2 inch masonry drill bit to drill a minimum of 14 holes in the
concrete floor. This drill bit is not provided and should be acquired prior to the first day of install. The
recommended drill bit for SDS and SDS Plus type hammer drill chucks is: Bosch mfg # HCFC2084,
Grainger part number: 36H212 (Hammer drill bit, SDS Plus, 1/2 inch x 12 inch) or equivalent. This specific
drill bit has a full cutter head and is designed to drill through rebar. The overall length of the drill
including shank is 12 inches. The shank size is 25/64. The use of drill bits with less than a full cutter head
may result in incorrect hole size. it may also cause a delay in the installation due to excessive drill tip
wear if rebar is hit during the drilling process.
Anchor Points
Only the gantry and patient table are required to be securely anchored to the floor in a non-seismic
environment. Gantry installations shall use a minimum of four (4) floor anchors — one at each corner
of the gantry. The patient table shall use a minimum of six (6) anchors — three anchors on each side.
The GE floor template can be used to locate the table and gantry anchor holes. Since base anchoring
holes are not common between transporter and transporterless table types, it is important to select the
correct template for the table type to be installed (Refer to Table 2-9 Floor template part numbers by
table type on page 88 below). Contact the GE Project Manager to order the GE floor template.
The scanner desktop, power distribution unit, and system cabinet do not require anchoring to the floor
in a non-seismic installation. See next section for Seismic Anchoring Methods.

installations.
Gantry and Table
GE supplies a seismic kit for gantry and table installation as a purchased option (B7919BS). GE seismic
kit is designed and tested with 5/8 in. (15.9 mm) anchors (8 for gantry and 6 for table). However, GE
does not supply anchors with the seismic kit. It is the responsibility of the customers to have qualified
structural engineers to determine and supply the correct seismic anchors and anchor torques.
The customer’s contractor will often supply the installation instructions for a seismic region in a certified
print or equivalent.
Table 2-10 Floor template part numbers by table type
GE floor template (part number 5498509 or 5498509-2) contains the details of both gantry and
table anchor locations. Primary gantry anchor locations shown in Figure 2-37 Gantry anchor
locations on page 91 must be used for seismic installation. In addition, primary table anchor locations
shown on the GE floor template must be used for seismic installation. Those are the only GE tested
configurations for seismic sites.

Mounting plate requirements
The Monitor in Room Boom Installation requires up to two (2) ceiling mounting plates to be fabricated
and supplied by the customer, with sufficient strength to hold the boom ceiling mast/arm/monitor
assembly. A ceiling mast mounting plate is common to all kit types and, depending on the kit collector, a
second plate to mount the electronics junction box may be required.
The ceiling mounting plates must be designed by a structural engineer and installed by a qualified
contractor prior to the system installation. The Project Manager of Installation (PMI) will provide
all instructions and engineering drawings required to properly design and install all ceiling mounted
options.
Material for the boom pedestal mounting plate shall be:
• Structural steel between 10 to 15 mm (0.4 to 0.6 in) thickness
• Tensile stress shall be 400 MPa or greater
• Yield stress shall be 235 MPa or greater

The new junction box is for Scanner Desktop III with P520 console computer or later.
For kit collectors 5115174-30 or 5115174-82:
A second flush-mount ceiling plate must be fabricated by the customer for mounting the electronics
junction box. The electronics junction box, included in the kit, mounts to this ceiling plate and a separate
cover plate, also included in the kit, mounts to the flush ceiling plate. This second ceiling plate is used for
the electronics junction box. See the Junction box assembly for 5115174-30 or 5115174-82 collectors
only on page 104 section for dimensions and weights.
Material for the junction box mounting plate shall be:
• Structural steel between 8 to 15 mm (0.3 to 0.6 in) thickness
• Tensile stress shall be 400 MPa or greater
• Yield stress shall be 235 MPa or greater

The AVIMOS is a monitoring system that includes one host computer to collect data through a user
interface, one monitor for display, and three (3) cameras:
• One camera installed at side to monitor the laser line
• One camera installed at front to monitor the table/patient movement
• One camera installed at rear to monitor the table/patient movement
Scan room with AVIMOS layout
AVIMOS requires proper camera location and alignment to present quality video for doctor/technologist
to view the patient. It is also used to monitor table movement and alignment of the gantry's internal/
external laser lines. Each camera covers a particular area and the sharpness and clarity for each video
image is required.
General positioning of the cameras can be located on the room layout drawings, which determines if
the site will require wall brackets or ceiling pipe mounts. It will also allow for approximate placement
of conduit and wiring runs to these camera locations. The Project Manager of Installation (PMI) should
detail heights and obstructions in the area where the cameras are to be positioned for an accurate
layout. The measurement process detailed in the Remote Control Kit with Assisted Video Monitoring
System Service Manual must be executed after the system has been installed to determine the exact
locations of the bracket plates. See below for approximate camera positioning locations.

Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as deter-
mined by an electromagnetic site survey,a should
be less than the compliance level in each frequency
rangeb.
Interference may occur in the vicinity of
equipment marked with the following symbol:
• Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio. AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy.
To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the System is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level above, the System should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed,
additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the ES System.
• Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz. field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
NOTE
These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects, and people

factors and can be adjusted from the reference design, although is generally limited by the monitor
AC power and video cables. The keyboard and mouse cables are slightly longer than 3 or 5 meters,
depending on the cable set option used.
Figure 5-3 Console Cable Usable Length Reference Design
NOTE
The reference design shown above assumes cables are routed along the floor, with the
monitors and adjustable desktop set to their maximum height (using the optional adjustable
table).
Using the reference design provided above, during room layout the following factors should be
considered when adjusting usable length:
• Floor duct depth (if used): Subtract 2X Depth from the usable length provided.
• Conduit height off the floor (if used): The reference design assumes the cables are run along the
floor. If routed through a conduit in the wall instead, add either 1x or 2x the conduit height from
the floor to the usable cable length, depending on cable run plan. If the conduit is below the floor,
subtract in a similar manner for floor ducts.
• Table height: Adjust usable length based on chosen table type (always use maximum height if
optional GE-supplied adjustable table is chosen).
• Wall clearances: The reference design assumes zero wall clearance for both the table and computer.
Subtract from usable length accordingly for all required clearances.
• Scanner desktop computer orientation: The reference design assumes a straight-in cable run.
Subtract from usable length accordingly for side runs. Refer to System Dimensions and Weight.
• Monitor placement shown is assumed to be back as far as possible but can be moved forward along
the table top, depending on user preference. Any movement of the monitors closer to the operator
should be accounted for and subtracted from the usable length.

Item Description
1 Primary Anchor Locations
2 Secondary Anchor Locations
3 Front Leveling Screw Location (for Gantry Leveling)
3. The platform structure shall provide capability of installing and leveling the gantry using the Front-
Center foot pad (refer to Figure 8-6 Gantry Anchor Definitions on page 172). This floor pad does not
require final anchoring, but the structure will need to support 50% of the gantry total weight on this
front-center foot pad.
4. Legacy platform structures used under existing CT gantries need to be analyzed to show that they
can meet the vertical defection requirement above for the Revolution CT gantry. Modifications shall
be made to the structure if needed to increase the stiffness.
5. The support structure shall meet all other gantry requirements in this document including flatness.
6. Support structures shall not be used for seismic installations.
Example Support Structure Analysis
The example in Figure 8-7 Structure with gantry loads applies at outer anchors in Y
direction on page 173 and Figure 8-8 Bottom View of structure showing how it is restrained to the
floor in the model on page 173 shows a linear static finite element analysis for the general support
structure which was shown in Figure 8-5 Example of a Raised Platform on page 171. In this analysis all
material was steel. Total weight of this support structure, without gantry, is 682.0 lbs.
• 1584.0 lb (Y Direction) load is applied at each of the 4 outer gantry anchor locations (pointed
by red arrows in Figure 8-7 Structure with gantry loads applies at outer anchors in Y
direction on page 173). Total load in model is 4 x 1584.0 = 6336.0 lb
Figure 8-7 Structure with gantry loads applies at outer anchors in Y direction
• In Figure 8-8 Bottom View of structure showing how it is restrained to the floor in the
model on page 173, only surfaces to touch the floor in the model are 6 x 50.0 mm diameter pads –
representing shims/bolt load path. It is unrealistic to fully constrain the complete bottom surfaces
of the 6 pads to ground
Figure 8-8 Bottom View of structure showing how it is restrained to the floor in the model
• The results in Figure 8-9 Deformation Results in Y Axis on page 173 are plotted for deflection in
the Y (vertical) axis. The results show that the deflection at the gantry outer (primary) anchor is
0.005156 inch which is less than the required the required deflection of 0.0065 inch.
Figure 8-9 Deformation Results in Y Axis
This simple analysis has shown that the structure can meet the required stiffness for the Revolution
CT gantry. If the deflection had been larger than 0.0065 inch, then additional analyses could have
been performed to look at other options such as a thicker top plate, adding ribs/gussets, or adding
more floor mounting locations. What this analysis shows is that it is possible to design a relatively
simple structure that can meet the required deflection/stiffness.
NOTE
Note that the analyzed structure has large weight reduction holes in the top plate. The
2 holes reduced the weight of the structure by nearly 40%, to a total of 682 lbs (9% the
gantry weight), yet the structure still can meet the required deflection.
