Important...X-Ray Protection
X-ray equipment if not properly used may cause injury. Accordingly, the instructions herein contained
should be thoroughly read and understood by everyone who will use the equipment before you attempt
to place this equipment in operation. The General Electric Company, Healthcare Technologies, will be
glad to assist and cooperate in placing this equipment in use.
Although this apparatus incorporates a high degree of protection against x-radiation other than the
useful beam, no practical design of equipment can provide complete protection. Nor can any practical
design compel the operator to take adequate precautions to prevent the possibility of any persons
carelessly exposing themselves or others to radiation.
It is important that anyone having anything to do with x-radiation be properly trained and
fully acquainted with the recommendations of the National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements as published in NCRP Reports available from NCRP Publications, 7910 Woodmont
Avenue, Room 1016, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, and of the International Commission on Radiation
Protection, and take adequate steps to protect against injury.
The equipment is sold with the understanding that the General Electric Company, Healthcare
Technologies, its agents, and representatives have no responsibility for injury or damage which may
result from improper use of the equipment.
Various protective materials and devices are available. It is urged that such materials or devices be used.

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.

1.2 System Siting Requirements


System Site Print
A system installation, relocation, or move requires a site print. The CT room layout shall match the
layout detailed on the site print.
The Final Site Print, provided by GE, is not to be used for construction purposes. It is designed to be used
to develop the customer supplied site print. Ensure the room size matches the print. Measure the room
size. If it does not match the stated size, and is smaller, check all clearances. Service clearances must be
met to continue with Installation. If there are floor obstructions, such as conduits or old anchors, be sure
to cut them flush to the floor to prevent the gantry from resting on them. All new table anchors must be
at a minimum 127.0 mm (5.0 inches) from any existing old cut off anchor, concrete edge, metal conduit
or duct edge embedded in the concrete, concrete joint or crack. Failure to maintain this distance may
result in failure of the table anchor.

5418654-1EN Revision 19 Pre-Installation Manual 22/175


Revolution CT, Revolution CT ES, Revolution Apex, Revolution CT with Apex 1.2 System Siting Requirements
Edition, Revolution Apex Select

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

GE Part Number Description


5498509-2 For systems with NG-2000 tables (transporter type)
5498509-3 For systems with NG-2000V or NG-1700V tables (both are transporterless and share a
common base anchoring footprint)

• 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

5418654-1EN Revision 19 Pre-Installation Manual 23/175


Revolution CT, Revolution CT ES, Revolution Apex, Revolution CT with Apex 1.2 System Siting Requirements
Edition, Revolution Apex Select

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.

5418654-1EN Revision 19 Pre-Installation Manual 24/175


Revolution CT, Revolution CT ES, Revolution Apex, Revolution CT with Apex 1.2 System Siting Requirements
Edition, Revolution Apex Select

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.

Related hospital equipment clearances


Check/verify the room layout for the necessary clearances required by any related hospital equipment.
Avoid compromising important system features by ensuring there is ample working space around the
patient table for the hospital cart, emergency equipments, personnels, and so on.

Customer requirements for site readiness


• Site Readiness Completion and Verification
Installation cannot proceed until all site-readiness requirements have been completed and verified.
A site is ready when all renovations/modifications have been completed and the scan suite meets
all regulatory, code, and system requirements, system delivery needs, and all requirements for any

Floor levelness check


Verify the floor meets the levelness specification. The levelness specification directly impacts the
available adjustment range for table/gantry alignment and will adversely impact Image Quality (IQ) if
the levelness specification is not met. Follow the escalation procedure if the floor does not meet the
levelness specification.
Refer to Table 1-8 Installation Kit and floor template part numbers on page 32 below to obtain the
correct GE Revolution CT floor template for the system table type. The Revolution CT Installation Kit is
universal and can be used with all three table/gantry types for alignment. These items will be necessary
to perform the procedure to determine if the floor directly beneath the table and gantry meets the floor
levelness specification. Contact your PM to order templates.

5418654-1EN Revision 19 Pre-Installation Manual 31/175


Revolution CT, Revolution CT ES, Revolution Apex, Revolution CT with Apex 1.2 System Siting Requirements
Edition, Revolution Apex Select

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.

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.

Delivery types and system lifting and rigging restrictions

DANGER

PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. TIP HAZARD.


Gantry is very heavy and may tip over if tilted past 10 degrees.
When transporting a system to the final destination, do not exceed tilt angle equal to, or
greater than 10 degrees in either direction of axis.
• Loading Dock Deliveries (Preferred method): Facilities with a loading dock in the receiving areas
can generally accommodate delivery of the system by semi-tractor trailer. This is the preferred
method for system delivery. Dock-to-dock shipment minimizes the possibility of dropping the
gantry or damaging other subsystems during the transition from the trailer to the facility. This
method also allows for the most efficient packing and unpacking of the system.
• Ground (Non-Loading Dock) Deliveries: Facilities without a loading dock require a lift-gate or
forklift. Such deliveries require unloading the system components from the truck bed to ground
level and then transported to the facility over a smooth surface such as a concrete sidewalk
or driveway or paved area. These paved surfaces must be able to support the weight of the
subsystems. It may be necessary to protect these surfaces as well.
• Lift-Gate Truck: The delivery truck requires a lift-gate rated for at least a 2722.0 kg (3.0 tons)
capacity. When the gantry or table is lowered to ground level, lower it at a steady rate using the
slowest speed as possible to minimize G-loads until the lift-gate reaches the ground. Keep gantry
or table level when moving to avoid flipping. Failure to smoothly transition the table and gantry to
ground level may cause serious damage to the table, gantry or their transport dollies.
Delivery of the system by tilt-bed truck is no longer an approved delivery method due to EHS safety
risks of tipping the system over. If a loading dock is not available, use an appropriately sized forklift
truck.
Rigging
The CT gantry assemblies shall not be lifted by their dollies. The CT gantry assemblies shall not
be transported across any surface by any means other than the dollies provided by GE. The CT gantry
assemblies have no lifting points on them and are not designed to be lifted by any special rigging
attached to the gantry assemblies themselves.

5418654-1EN Revision 19 Pre-Installation Manual 46/175


Revolution CT, Revolution CT ES, Revolution Apex, Revolution CT with Apex 1.4 Delivery and Handling
Edition, Revolution Apex Select

DANGER

POSSIBLE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.


The dollies are not designed to be used as an attachment point for any method of lifting
the subsystems.
Attaching lifting straps, cables or mechanisms to the dolly handles or any other part of the
dolly is strictly prohibited.

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.

Shipping and receiving


Handling Restrictions
• Shock Restrictions: The system cannot tolerate shock or vibration. System components cannot be
tipped, dropped, or hoisted. The PM shall communicate these restrictions to everyone involved with
handling the system components.
• Rolling on Surfaces: System components shall be rolled across smooth surfaces (sidewalks, parking
lots, tile flooring, and so on.) only. If a smooth surface is not available (for examples, a sidewalk
or driveway has cracks or uneven joints, or a tiled floor has deep or rough joint lines), then floor
protection shall be used to move the system across the uneven surface.
• Shipping Crate/Packaging Integrity: Do not damage or puncture the shipping crate or packaging.
Floor Protection
To protect the floor during delivery, floor protection shall be used along the entire delivery path and
throughout the scan suite, where necessary.
Door Threshold Not Allowed The customer is responsible for removing any doorway threshold (if one
exists), in order to move the scanner subsystems in and out of the room.
Floor Load Along Delivery Route The customer’s structural engineer of record is responsible 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
location within the facility.
Dollies, Installation and Shipping Carts
• U.S. Installations — Shipments within the United States typically involve the use of dollies (pre-
installed on the gantry sections and table) for moving the gantry sections and table to the suite,
and the use of installation and shipping carts and pallets for other parts. After completing the
installation, return all dollies, the gantry shipping cage, and installation and shipping carts to
UMI using the shipping document found in box #1. http://www.umi-dollyshop.com. Pallets are not
re-usable.
• Installations Outside U.S. — For shipments outside the United States, customers may purchase
dollies at: http://www.umi-dollyshop.com. DO NOT return dollies, the gantry shipping cage, or
installation and shipping carts to the U.S. Instead, forward dollies, cage, and installation and
shipping carts to the local GE office or warehouse. The gantry sections and table subsystems are
shipped with dollies attached placed on a pallet for transport. Pallets are not re-usable.
• The square footage required for the installation and shipping carts storage can be calculated based
on the dimensions in General Electric Project Manager Task List on page 39.
Delivery Temperature and Humidity Tolerance
When transporting the system, excluding any scanner desktop LCD display monitors, water-filled
calibration/IQ phantoms and covers, the temperature shall be maintained within the range of -40 to
+70° C (-40 to +158° F), inclusive.
When transporting the system, excluding water-filled calibration/IQ phantoms, all packing material shall
remain intact and the relative humidity shall be maintained within the range of 5% to 95%, inclusive.
NOTE
See the table below for the shipping temperature and humidity ranges of excluded items.

Water-filled calibration/IQ phantoms +5 to +70° C (+41 to +158° F) 5% to 95%
NOTE
Relative hu-
midity (non-
condensing)

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.

Variable floor loading


A rotating CT gantry applies a static and variable (dynamic) load to the floor on which it is anchored.
The static load is based on the weight and center of gravity of the system. The variable/dynamic load is
based on other variables such as gantry static and dynamic balance of the rotor. The frequency of the
variable/dynamic load is based on the rotating speed of the gantry.

2.2 Functional Scan Suite Layout Configuration


A functional scan suite is comprised of separate scan room and control room. The scan room contains
the CT scanner, and the control room houses the scanner desktop for operation of the system. Both
must be designed with enough space to accommodate:
• all individual components of the CT system
• service access to support the individual CT system components
• operational egress for safe exit from all areas of the rooms
• meet all regulatory codes based on the location of the system
The minimum control room and scan room sizes are based on the regulatory envelope which surrounds
a CT scanner. This envelope of space includes the above considerations along with all regulatory
requirements and applicable local building codes. An example of a functional system layout is detailed in
the configurations below.

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

5418654-1EN Revision 19 Pre-Installation Manual 75/175


Revolution CT, Revolution CT ES, Revolution Apex, Revolution CT with Apex 2.2 Functional Scan Suite Layout Configuration
Edition, Revolution Apex Select

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).

2.3 Work Space Requirements


Prior to the delivery and install of the system, ensure there is enough room in the suite to receive and
temporarily store all components and service equipment required for the installation. This would include
all system, subsystems and all subsystem components. If there is not sufficient space, the PM should
work with the customer to arrange for temporary storage at a location as close to the suite as possible.
This temporary location shall meet the same temperature and humidity specifications as defined in
Shipping and Receiving on page 39.
System Configuration and Room Requirements for Work Space
Definitions:
• Working Space: Work space for equipment operating at 600 Volts, nominal, or less, to ground, and
likely to require examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance while energized.
• Service Space: Defined as Working Space by: NFPA 70 (Table 110.26) 2011 Edition. GE also requires
a minimum work space for the safe servicing of the product. This work space is defined: Where the
cover has been removed or open in the area where service is performed, and power is applied to the
system.
• Grounded Surface/Wall: Made of concrete, masonry, brick, ceramic tile, or a wall that contains
surface mounted electrical boxes, conduits, medical gas or other exposed metal plumbing or
ducting.
• Ungrounded Surface/Wall: Made of wood or other insulated construction material that will not
create a path to ground when touched.
• Obstructions: Surface mounted floor ducts or other trip hazards, walls, pilasters, support columns,
and equipment covers stored temporarily that would block direct access to an exit from the room.
• Powered On Service – Work Space Egress - 712.0 mm (28.0 in.) : Any work space around the
perimeter of the system or subsystem, shall have at least one unobstructed route to a direct exit
of the room. The width of the exit route shall not be less than 712.0 mm (28.0 in.) along the entire
length of the route. This emergency egress route must be free of obstructions and trip hazards,
including equipment covers that may have been removed for service and surface floor ducts.
• Small Room (Not recommended) : A condition of installation where the gantry may be placed a
minimum of 356.0 mm (14.0 in.) from a wall where access to electrical power or the wall is not
required. The 356.0 mm (14.0 in.) condition may be applied to both sides of the gantry providing that
doing so does not create a trapped area or inhibits direct unobstructed safe egress from the scan

Edition, Revolution Apex Select

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.

9 Scanner or other subsystem component

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.

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

Scan Room Sub-System Clearance Requirements


Some of the subsystems require removal of the covers for service. Make sure there is sufficient space
to remove all necessary covers from the subsystems. Normal servicing of the gantry does not require
removal of the front or rear covers.
Gantry Cover Clearance
The gantry has a two front and two rear covers which swing open from the middle of the gantry out.
They have a maximum opening arc (0 to 90 degrees) of 1054.0 mm (41.5 in) and are as tall as the gantry.
When opened and placed in the service position, each cover adds additional estimated 127.0 mm (5.0
in.) to the width of the gantry. When siting the gantry consider the locations of any ceiling mounted
options or obstructions that may interfere with the operation of the gantry covers.
For the front flip up covers, refer to Table 2-3 Minimum Ceiling Height Requirements on page 78 for head
clearance details. The rear cover also has clearances when removed. See Figure 2-34 Gantry Rear Cover
with Dollies on page 83 for details.
Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) Crate Access Requirements
It is important to follow FRU crate access requirements when placing a Revolution CT system in the
scanner room layout/design process. Minimum work space clearances defined in Table 2-4 Work Space
Conditions on page 78 shall be followed for FRU crate access to the gantry front-left, front-right,
and back side. For personnel and equipment safety, the FRU crates designed and used with gantry
subsystem components identified in Figure 2-32 Gantry FRU Crate Access Regions with Example FRU
Access Paths on page 82 and Table 2-6 Gantry FRU Crate Access Regions on page 82 below are
integral to the replacement process and shall be used accordingly. A clear path to all three regions
shall be provided. Hand-carrying FRUs into position, or the use of commercial-off-the-shelf and/or
custom dolly platforms or "skates" to maneuver the FRU are prohibited.

NOTE
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.

Crane Clearance Requirements


Some parts replacements require the temporary installation of a crane. For examples, tube replacement
(right side in the front of gantry) and tank replacement (left side in the front of gantry). The crane
does not exceed the gantry height. There shall be no obstructions in the cranes operational radius
below the gantry height that would inhibit the swing of the crane. See Figure 2-35 Crane Clearance
Radius on page 84.
Use x-ray tube replacement as an example, the tube is delivered to the scan suite in a self-contained
shipping crate that measures 736.6 mm (29.0 in.) x 1524.0 mm (60.0 in.) x 736.6 mm (29.0 in.). It is critical
the area in front of the scanner allows room for this shipping container, as the replacement x-ray tube
requires the use of the container. Also, consider the entire route that must be taken to position the tube
crate for tube replacement including the space required to move the crate past the table and wall or
unmovable counter tops that may be present.
The tube replacement is done on the right front side of the gantry. It requires the temporary installation
of a crane and hoist which must have enough room to be pivoted inside the covers. There shall be no
obstructions in the cranes operational radius below the gantry height that would inhibit the swing of the
crane.

2.4 Anchoring
WARNING

FAILURE TO ASSEMBLE CORRECTLY OR APPLY PROPER TORQUE MAY RESULT IN DEATH


OR SERIOUS INJURY.
System can move, tip over and fall on other components.
Follow directions provided here.
Anchor Safety Factor
GE has provided an anchoring method, which is designed to a safety factor of 4 against the loading
condition described in Weight and Floor Loading Data on page 51. The safety factor of 4 has been
chosen is to ensure that the patient table does not tip over, which could result in death or serious injury.
The choice of a safety factor of 4 is also based on medical device safety standard.
For example, for 500 lb table, 4 times of the maximum uplift load is 4*377= 1508 Lbf.

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

5418654-1EN Revision 19 Pre-Installation Manual 87/175


Revolution CT, Revolution CT ES, Revolution Apex, Revolution CT with Apex 2.4 Anchoring
Edition, Revolution Apex Select

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.

Alternative Anchoring Methods


• If an alternate method of anchoring is utilized, it is the customer is responsible to confirm that
the anchors can meet the loading described in Weight and Floor Loading Data on page 51. GE
Healthcare requires designing this alternate anchoring solution to at least a safety factor of 4.
Check local governing building codes to see if additional safety factor is required. The customer shall
confirm the load capability of the anchoring solution after installation to the loading provided in
Weight and Floor Loading Data on page 51. Examples of confirmation methods are a pull-up test
(with load transducer) or torque test.
• If a customer does not use the anchor method defined in the install manual, the customer is
responsible for having a "Alternative Anchoring Plan" developed by a Structural Engineering firm at
the cost of the customer. This plan must be retained by the customer, since it must be reviewed by
service personnel at time of de-Installation.
• Execution of the alternative anchoring method(s) defined by the Alternative Anchoring Plan shall
follow the specified sequence in the Revolution CT Installation procedure workflow. Failure to follow
the specified anchoring sequence can result in table/gantry alignment issues with adverse impact
to image quality.
• The anchoring method defined in this manual applies to both the gantry and the patient table.
Modification of this anchoring method or improvising with the sequence defined in the Revolution
CT Installation procedure is prohibited.
• GE Healthcare and workers contracted by GE Healthcare, are not responsible for any failure of an
anchoring system not authorized by GE Healthcare.
• This procedure at times requires a minimum of two persons. Only trained personnel shall install this
product.
• Floor protection must be used, as necessary, when positioning all subsystems.
• If there is not enough room to assemble the gantry in the scan room, the gantry can be assembled
in another location and then transported to the scan room as an assembled unit, providing the
delivery route and doorway openings can accommodate the assembled gantry with its two (2)
gantry side dollies attached.
Seismic Anchoring Methods
For a seismic installation, the customer shall refer to all applicable state/local laws and building codes.
Customer shall consult with structural engineer, site contractor, or architect for seismic installation
requirements pertaining to all scanner components/sub-systems.
Seismic anchoring is considered to be an alternate anchoring method. An alternative installation plan
that meets all required seismic codes for the region the product is located in, should be developed
for sites requiring seismic installations. Development of this plan is the responsibility of the customer.
Generally, this requires the customer to contract the services of a Structural Engineering firm to develop
the seismic anchoring plan prior to install. The alternative seismic installation plan should be executed
at time of installation in place of the existing anchoring method defined in the product install manual
This plan must be retained by the customer, since it must be reviewed by service personnel at time of
de-Installation.
Use of seismic anchoring kit (B7919BS, which can be ordered) designed by GE Healthcare is required for
a seismic-compliant installation. The kit provided by GE Healthcare is designed for anchors that are 5/8
inch (15.9 mm) in diameter. Anchors of this size are not provided by GE Healthcare. The type and length
of the anchor must be defined in the alternative seismic anchoring plan and purchased separately by the
customer.

5418654-1EN Revision 19 Pre-Installation Manual 90/175


Revolution CT, Revolution CT ES, Revolution Apex, Revolution CT with Apex 2.4 Anchoring
Edition, Revolution Apex Select

The existing 1/2 inch anchors provided by GE Healthcare shall be discarded and NOT used for seismic
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.

2.5 Customer Ceiling Requirements for Monitor-in-Room


Overview
The purchaser or their contractor shall complete the installation of all pedestals for ceiling-mounted
components. The PMI will provide the necessary bolt hole information upon request. The ceiling
mounting plate must be designed by a structural engineer and installed by a qualified contractor prior to
the system installation.
NOTE
A finished ceiling is required for installation.
The specifications and weight requirements are provided. These plates must accommodate and be
designed specifically to the details provided here. Failure to comply is a safety factor. The customer shall:
• design a structure with sufficient strength to hold the power module and storage hanger assembly.
• ensure the junction box mounting plate and the boom mounting plate shall be no less than 4
times load.
• be responsible to fabricate and mount the boom pedestal ceiling plate. An additional junction box
mounting plate may be required depending on the kit type. (See the following sections for more
information.)
NOTE
The final installation will require documented specifications to be submitted back to GE to
ensure all items meet essential to safety guidelines.
Essential to Safety
Material: Steel
Thickness: Minimum 10 mm to maximum 15 mm

Site preparation
Minimum ceiling height
The minimum ceiling height above the table and gantry shall measure at least 2286 mm (90 in) or the
minimum distance allowed by local laws and codes, whichever is greater, when measured from the floor
to the finished ceiling or to the lowest point of any ceiling mast of any ceiling-mounted components.
Peak system height dimension is met when the top-hinged gantry cover is installed. Height is 2252 mm
(88.6 in), while the length from ISO center is 1760 mm (69.2 in). Anything installed above the system
from the ceiling should take this into consideration.
New ceiling mast installation mounting constraints
The validated configuration for the Revolution CT SmartStep, with provided suspension arm (boom) and
monitor as shown in Figure 2-41 Arm size and Center of Gravity (CG) on page 98 below, is for only a
single arm and monitor, using the electrical junction box described below. Adding a second suspension
arm to the mast is prohibited for this option.
The electronics junction box included in the boom/monitor installation kit is required not only

2.6 Ceiling Requirement for Auto Patient Positioning


Depth Camera
Overview
Though the camera coverage is defined at 100 mm above isocenter, Auto Patient Positioning works at
different table heights, with variable patient sizes. The technique works even if part of the patient body

5418654-1EN Revision 19 Pre-Installation Manual 106/175

Edition, Revolution Apex Select

being scanned is out of the camera view or the patient body occupies only a smaller portion of the
view, but the best accuracy is achieved when the full patient body fits the view. Appropriately choosing
the desired camera coverage before camera installation can optimize the Auto Patient Positioning
performance.

CAUTION

When moving ceiling mounting devices (in-room-monitor, injector, anesthesia machine,


and so on), make sure to avoid damage to the depth camera resulted from collisions by
the suspension arms.

WARNING

COLLISION AVOIDANCE WITH IN-ROOM-MONITOR


The "upper arm" of the boom can reach a range of 850 mm radius. The camera shall be installed:
- either outside of this 850 mm-radius range (the camera cover size is 360 (W)×360 (L)×180 (H) mm3),
or
- inside the range but its bottom cover is higher than the boom upper arm. Mavig recommends no
less than 579 mm from finished ceiling to the column bottom. This is equivalent to 380 mm between
finished ceiling and the upper arm.
If the camera is installed within the boom arm reach, the customer shall be suggested to install a
protective bracket beside the camera or the boom arm to avoid damage of the camera.

2.7 Remote Control Panel with Video Monitoring


Mounting Requirements
Introduction
RCK-AVIMOS is the abbreviation of Remote Control Kit with Assisted Video Monitoring System, includes
the Remote Control Panel (RCP) Option software and the Assisted Video Monitoring system.
Remote control panel
The RCP extends the CT scanner in-room control panel function to the operator desktop. With this
solution, hospital technologists can turn laser lights on/off, plus achieve table up/down control, cradle
in/out control, landmark setting, one button loading and one button loading of the patient without
entering into the scan room.
Assisted video monitoring system (AVIMOS)

5418654-1EN Revision 19 Pre-Installation Manual 114/175


Revolution CT, Revolution CT ES, Revolution Apex, Revolution CT with Apex 2.7 Remote Control Panel with Video Monitoring Mounting Requirements
Edition, Revolution Apex Select

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.

and scanned. Scatter radiation measurements are made for both the vertical and the horizontal planes
which include the axis of rotation. The horizontal plane is 1.03 m above the floor.
Figure 3-1 Typical scatter radiation in μGy per 100 mAs – horizontal plane 80 mm
collimation on page 132 and Figure 3-2 Typical scatter radiation in μGy per 100 mAs – vertical plane 80
mm collimation on page 133 show scatter radiation for 80 mm collimation. The air kerma per 100 mAs
(μGy / 100 mAs ) is provided at 0.5 m intervals within each plane.
The CT scan technique that results in the maximum scatter radiation per unit mAs is used for all
measurements as follows:
• Detector coverage = 80 mm (128 x 0.625 mm)
• Tube voltage = 140 kV
• SFOV = Medium body
Figure 3-3 Typical scatter radiation in μGy per 100 mAs – horizontal plane 160 mm

4 Environmental Requirements (HVAC)

4.1 HVAC Requirements


Air Quality
See IEC 60654-4 for air quality guidelines.
Construction Dust Concerns
All construction and cleanup work to the scanner suite must be completed prior to the installation of
the CT system. Damage to or early failure of the CT scanner can occur if the scanner is exposed to
construction material particles. Ensure NO construction dust occurs in or immediately around the scan
suite. Avoid the following:
• Concrete dust
• Drywall dust
• Ceiling tile dust
• Sawdust or wood shavings
• Dust tracked into CT suite from adjoining rooms
Air-Handling System Initial Startup Considerations
Prior to the initial startup, ensure the air-handling system ducts and filters are thoroughly clean and free
of dust and other potential airborne contaminants. The air-handling ventilation system could blow dust
and other airborne contaminates throughout the scan suite, potentially damaging the CT scanner.
• Thermostats: Refer to Figure 4-1 HVAC Map For System Cabinet on page 142 for HVAC map.
• The control room and scan room shall have separate HVAC thermostats.
• Thermostats shall be within 6 ft (1828.8 mm) of gantry.
• Thermostats shall be on opposite side of doors or wall openings.
• Thermostats shall not be in the System Cabinet exhaust.
• System Cabinet: Intake air is pulled through the perforation at the top of the front door. Exhaust
is pushed out upwards through the perforation at the top of the rear end of the cabinet (see Figure
4-1 HVAC Map For System Cabinet on page 142 and System Cabinet Air Flow on page 51). Refer to
final working drawings approved by GE Headquarters Architectural Planning for final system cabinet
location.
• Do not block upwards exhaust flow. System Cabinet cannot be placed under any wall mounted
casework/furniture due to the airflow from the top of the System Cabinet.
• Minimum 152.4 mm (6.0 in.) spacing in the front.

Chemical Contamination Concerns


The silver, copper, gold films used in the CT system are especially sensitive to chemical contamination.
The presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminates (with sulfur being the most damaging),
can damage the CT system. If high levels of contaminates exist, consider installing an appropriate air
filtration system.
The scanner shall not be installed in the same room with a wet film processor. Certain scanner
components could become contaminated by the chemicals contained in the processor.

Edition, Revolution Apex Select

Ensure any sulfide, chloride, or nitrate contaminate levels are at acceptable levels (Class 1).
Asbestos contamination of the working environment caused by the materials used to cover the
concrete floor. The customer is responsible for ensuring that the flooring material does not contain
asbestos and if necessary, abatement measures prior to install for the purpose of providing a safe work
environment.
Altitude Operating Range
The system normal operational altitude range is -150 m to 2400 m (-492 ft. to 7875 ft.) relative to sea
level.
Ambient Temperature range: 18⁰C – 26⁰C at Altitude: -150 m to 1600 m Ambient Temperature range:
18⁰C – 25⁰C @ Altitude: 1601 m to 2400 m.
The system may be installed at an altitude up to, but not exceeding, 3000 m (9843 ft.) above sea level.
System performance, image quality, reliability and safety cannot be guaranteed at altitudes above 3000
m. If the system is installed above 1600 m (5249 ft.) then the maximum room temperature must not
exceed 25 degrees C (77 degree F) due to the altitude effects on system cooling.
Environmental Conditions
Temperature and Humidity
Ensure the site provides an HVAC system capable of maintaining the temperature and humidity
requirements as specified here. The environmental conditions at the site shall be maintained at all
times (including overnight, weekends, and holidays). Environmental conditions apply to the table, gantry,
power distribution unit, and scanner desktop. Consider patient comfort needs when designing or
modifying/designing the HVAC system for the scan suite. Avoid placing any ducts that are blowing air
into the exam room that would make the patient uncomfortable.
To verify the environmental conditions of the site are met, the temperature and humidity of the
installation site shall be recorded before and after system installation. Any necessary changes shall be
made to maintain the proper environmental conditions.
NOTE
Exceeding the environmental specifications may adversely affect system operation and image

Scanner Desktop Computer Placement: Console Cable Usable Length


The scanner desktop computer can be located some distance away from the operator station desktop
- including the scanner room - subject to limitations of usable length by the scanner desktop peripheral
cables, as well as usable cable lengths specified in Table 5-5 Revolution Short-Length Cable (B7919AE,
6259500-4) — Supplied by GE on page 151 (short-length cable set) or Table 5-6 Revolution Long-Length
Cable, Optional (B7919AF, 6259500-3) — Supplied by GE on page 152 (Long-length cable set) for the
system cabinet, PDU, etc. The scanner desktop monitor cables are normally the limiting factor since the
keyboard and mouse cables are slightly longer. The Standard (short) peripheral cable set is limited in
total length to 3 meters. An optional Long peripheral cable set is limited in total length to 5 meters.

NOTICE

Only one set of console peripheral cables can be used – there are no provisions for one
set to extend the other. For performance reasons, the use of cable extensions beyond the
default 3- or 5-meter sets are prohibited.
For the scanner desktop, a reference design example and table of usable length is provided in Figure
5-3 Console Cable Usable Length Reference Design on page 155. Usable cable length depends on many

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.

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.

Cable Routing Requirements


Install appropriate and properly sized conduits, duct work, and floor troughs for all system cables. Also
refer to Table 5-5 Revolution Short-Length Cable (B7919AE, 6259500-4) — Supplied by GE on page 151
through Table 5-9 Miscellaneous Electrical Cables — Supplied by Customer/Contractor on page 156.
• When routing the power wiring, all three-phase wires and ground must run in the same conduit or
raceway or duct.
• Route power wires separate from the system control and signal cables, using a separate conduit or
trough in a raceway or duct.
• You may use a metallic conduit, floor duct, or surface raceway for running cables, depending upon
local codes and practices.
• However, ensure that cable passageways are large enough to install additional cables with all other
cables already installed. Do not use non-metallic conduit.
• To minimize the need for additional junction boxes and to eliminate trip hazards, use either a
cable raceway system or a raised computer floor for routing all system cabling. The system uses
prefabricated cables with large plugs.

Ducting Requirements

8.2 Install the Revolution CT Gantry on a Support


Structure
The requirements of installing the Revolution CT gantry on a support structure is discussed in this
section.
Overview
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. An example of a raised platform comprised of a
30.0 mm thick top plate and three 120.0 mm “I” beams is shown in Figure 8-5 Example of a Raised
Platform on page 171. When using a raised platform (support structure), the platform must meet the
below requirements. This will ensure the stiffness of the platform is high enough so that gantry vibration
does not impact the image quality of the scanner.
Figure 8-5 Example of a Raised Platform

Requirements for Support Structure (Platform)


1. Vertical deflection (Y direction) of the support platform at each of the 4 gantry anchors points,
under a load of 1584 lbs, shall be ≤ 0.0065 inch (0.165 mm). Confirmation of this shall be checked via
analysis as it cannot be practically measured.
2. When the Revolution CT gantry is mounted to a support structure, it must be anchored using the
outer 4 anchors (additional inner anchors may be used if required by local building code). Refer to
Figure 8-6 Gantry Anchor Definitions on page 172 for definition of “Outer” anchors.

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

• 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

• 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.

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.
