2.2 Mechanical safety
It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure safety of patient while the unit is in opera-
tion by visual check, proper patient positioning, and use of devices that are provided.

Rest risk:

During proper operation and in case that a first mistake may accur there will be no damage
to patient and/or environment.

2.3 Danger of injury

The arrows in the illustration show areas which present potential Danger of Injury to operat-
ing personnal and patient from the equipment motion.

2.4 X-Ray Protection.

from the radiation-protected location of the generator. The general radiation-protection
measures must be observed. In addition, we recommend the following:

1 Set the tube current as low as possible .

2 Limit the radiation field to the maximum possible extent.

3 Keep as far away as possible.

4 Provide radiation protection for the patient.

4 General

4.1 Short description

The equipment consists of a motor-driven elevating Bucky table with coordinatus table top
and Bucky carriage as well as a floor mounted column stand for X-ray tube unit, collimator
and control arm including a totally integrated tomography device for linear blurring move-
ment without mechanical coupling. The solid, vibration-free table base and the rail stand
with column form one unit. The large and 2.20 m long, floating table top is manually mov-
able and locks electromagnetically. The table top is provided for a maximum patient weight
of 136 kg. For fast and easy positioning of the patient, it allows spacious lateral travel: 60
cm to the left, 50 cm to the right and ± 12 cm transversely. Especially for patient comfort
and easy cleaning, the table top offers a scratch-proof surface (Resopal) and trim-covered,
smooth profile rails on both sides, which can accept accessories. The Bucky carriage takes
up cassette trays as supplied by any reknowned manufacturer. In longitudinal direction, it is
manually moved and electromagnetically locked. The shortest possible OFD of 70 mm
guarantees images of superior geometrical proportion. Low radiation absorption by the table
top reduces the X-ray amount. The brake of the Bucky is released by a push-button on the
operating handle. The foot treadle along the table base allows the release of the elctro-
magnetic table top brakes. The tube stand for the X-ray tube support arm and tube is
moved on the rail stand parallel to the longitudinal table axis. The X-ray tube with collimator
and control handle for the tube stand is supported by a lateral arm fixed to the vertical car-
riage. Vertical movement and rotation of the tube around the longitudinal axis of the lateral
arm permit vertical, horizontal or oblique beam projections. Each position is electromagneti-
cally locked. The X-ray tube with column stand rotates around the vertical column axis and
catches mechanically at angles of 0° (basic position), ± 90° (for lateral exposures). The
standard tube support is intended for DIN 6836 flanged plate C. The max. weight of the X-
ray tube and collimator must not exceed 40 kg. For operating there are 3 operating meth-
ods from the control panel while pushing the key available: Table mode - the automatic tube
stand - Bucky linkage will adjust automatically the Bucky in their travel range to the middle
of the column. Exact positioning of the tube at 0° and ± 90°. Wall mode - while pushing the
key two (adjustable while mounting) SIDs will be motorized positioned while the tube rotates
in direction of wall stand. By manual movement of the column is an automaticly stop at the
SID`s. Tomo mode - while pushing the Prep-key the column and the Bucky drive into central
position. After adjusting the tomography a test run or a linear blurring movement is possible.
Tomography starts from direction of wall stand. The totally integrated, microprocessor con-
trolled tomography allows linear blurring movement in Tomo mode. The tomography expo-
sure can be made with 8°, 20°, 30° and 40° tomo angles from 0-24 cm tomography layer
height. There are 2 exposure times for each tomo angle available. These tomo times can be
programmed in correspondance with the Generator while installing. The operator will be
guided through the programme from the display of the control panel.

4.2 Range of use

The equipment is an universal X-ray examination system for doctors´ practices as well as
for hospitals. It provides high-quality gridded exposures and linear blurring movement on
lying patients. Large travel of the table top and uncomplicated functioning facilitate opera-
tion and increase patient comfort. A special cassette holder is available for lateral expo-
sures. With a Bucky wall stand or a cassette stand, exposures can also be made with pa-
tients standing or sitting. Without requiring wall and ceiling fixtures, the equipment easily
adjust to change in location.

 Exposure preparation

The exposure can only be triggered at the generator. Set expo-

sure dates on control desk. Control readiness for exposure.
Command patient to „hold your breath“.Press the generator`s
exposure switch until the exposure is finished.

Note:

Do not forget radiation protection devices for the patient (lead

rubber apron, gonad protection, etc.)

Attention: If the exposure is interrupted or another exposure

shall be made, the tube stand has to be moved to the central
position by pressing the prep-switch. After selection of the tomo
parameters the unit is ready for a new exposure. It`s possible to
drive to the start position with the first step of the generator`s
exposure switch.

Attention: The operator has to observe the patient and the motion of the unit during test
run and exposure and has to stop immediately if there is any danger.
