1. UNIT DESCRIPTION

1.1. INTRODUCTION
The KALOS ceiling suspension represents the optimal choice for the modern radiographic or
emergency room. The unit shows itself as a modern conception with an agreeable design,
characterized by great sturdiness, strength and minimum encumbrance.
When combined with the vertical bucky of the TR family (TR038/G and TR039/G), it permits to
obtain excellent radiographic results due to its easy maneuverability and precision of positioning.
The wide vertical travel and the ZERO FORCE technique used for the vertical travel, allow
accepting a wide range of tube – collimator assemblies.
The vertical tracking capability maintains the beam always aligned with the image receptor: in
table position, a table height adjustment makes the tube follow it to maintain the programmed
FFD constant; in chest position, a bucky vertical movement makes the tube follow it to maintain
the beam alignment constant.
Kalos ceiling suspension can be also coupled with Clisis Exel table. See paragraph 13.3.4 for more
details.

1.2. SYSTEM COMPOSITION

KALOS ceiling suspension is composed of:
- Spring counterpoised ceiling stand;
- Rails in aluminum extrusion;
- Five elements telescope;
- Electromagnetic brakes;
- Tube side touch screen console.

1.4.6 PROTECTIONS AGAINST RADIATION HAZARD

WARNING
X-ray equipment regulations must be scrupulously complied in order to avoid
hazards with patients, operators and equipment.

The polyfunctional x-ray unit, in normal operation conditions, allows the operator to release
exposures from a controlled area, and it is classified according with IEC60601-1-3 as intended for
TYPE B applications. In this case, the primary shield must be designed in such a way that the
Kerma in the air never exceeds 150 G per hour.
We suggest installing proper intercom systems in the examination room, in order to simplify the
communication between the patient and the operator.
It is the client's responsibility to ensure the installation of a radiation shield, which should protect
the staff from radiations and allow a total vision of the patient and examination room.
During exposures, all the personnel not involved in the operation must leave the examination
room or stay behind protective screens.
In order to protect the patients, the user and any other person against radiation hazard, the
regulations for operating X-rays equipment should be scrupulously complied with.

KEEP THE DISTANCE FROM X-RAY SOURCE

The dose diminishes by the square of the distance (i.e.: at a double distance, the
dose is 1/4 and at a triple distance, the dose is 1/9).

KEEP SHORT EXPOSURE TIMES

The dose increases according to the exposure time (i.e.: half exposure time gives
half dose).
In radiology, the exposure value is given in mAs.

WEAR ANTI-X APRONS

The protection value exponentially increases with the thickness of the protection
device (i.e.: a double thickness reduces the dose to 1/4; a triple thickness reduces
the dose to 1/9).

DO NOT GET EXPOSED TO DIRECT RADIATION

The dose resulting from direct radiation is approximately hundred times the dose of
a secondary radiation. Exposures are generally made standing behind protective
shields. For exposures near the genitals, ensure the most appropriate protection to
gonads and ovaries. Persons that stand near the patients during examinations
should wear anti-X aprons. This is also valid for the staff. In case of activity in
controlled areas, always wear the personal dosimeter.

Revision 09

1.4.7 PROTECTION AGAINST EXPLOSION HAZARD

WARNING
This equipment is not classified as anesthetic-proof and may ignite inflammable
anesthetics. Flammable agents used for skin cleansing or disinfection may also
cause explosion hazard.

1.4.8 RESIDUAL RISKS & ACCIDENT HAZARD

WARNING
The following topics concern aspects of safety for the patient and/or the operator.

The polyfunctional X-ray unit has been designed in conformity to safety regulations. However,
there may still be residual risks when using the unit, especially caused by improper use of it.
In order to limit residual risks to the minimum, the operator must observe the following rules:
Do not set the unit into operation unless he is sure that neither the patient nor any other
person is exposed to hazards.
Make sure that no mechanical movement may injure the patient’s extremities. In
particular, make sure that the patient's hands are always visible.

1.4.9 USE OF THE CEILING STAND WITH BEDS, SPECIAL STRETCHERS AND OTHER
BULKY ACCESSORIES

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The topics listed below cover aspects of patient and/or operator safety in case of
use of the device in combination with bulky accessories.

WARNING
Before making or command any device movement, make sure that the area is free
from obstacles.

November 2022 Page 23 of 432

GE Healthcare
Revision 09

KALOS ceiling suspension is part of an X-ray room, which by virtue of its destination of use, has an
intrinsic danger. In fact, considering the safety and protection measures taken to the current state,
it is impossible to provide total protection as the operator is active and integral part of the device
control process itself.
When the device is moved, the surrounding areas have to be considered potential danger areas,
where it is necessary to be extremely careful in order to avoid collision or crushing accidents with
other obstacles.
Since the operator is responsible for device handling, the use of accessories and/or objects in the
environment can lead to dangerous situations to both the patient and the operator.
It is strictly prohibited to use KALOS ceiling suspension with some kinds of beds for orthopedic
application (or any other application that requires the help of structures mounted above the bed).
By way of example, some photos of such beds are reported below.

The operator must ensure that, before controlling the movements of the unit, the motion area is
free from obstacles.
The dangerous areas on the equipment have been marked as "danger zones": see the following
figures as an example.

with a cable of inadequate section may degrade both reliability and safety level of the unit.
The following rules must be observed for a correct grounding:
● Check that the central ground terminal in the examination room has the characteristics
specified in the safety norms of the country. In particular a ground resistance lower than 2 is
suggested.
● Connect the KALOS central ground terminal directly to the central ground terminal of the
power distribution box by means of a 2,5 mm² singe conductor if the distance is less than 10
m. The cable section must be increased proportionally in case of higher distances.
● Connect all KALOS ground internal cables only to the central ground terminal of the unit
located in the backside of the power rack as shown in the following figure. Make sure that the
brass fixation screws have been properly tightened.

Do not add other ground connections that might involve sections of the system, in order to avoid
the possibility to cause ground loops.

5.6. INPUT LINE AND EMERGENCY CIRCUIT

The KALOS system requires the connection to a single-phase line with the following
characteristics:

Ceilstand voltage (set during 220 / 230 / 240 Vac monophasic

installation)
Voltage tolerance ± 10%
Network frequency 50 / 60 Hz
Network tolerance ±3%
Standby power 100 VA
Maximum Power Output 1370 VA
Average Heat Dissipation 300 kcal/h

If possible, it is also a good norm to apply the following rules for the line connection:
The input line must be totally independent from any other lines that might create interference.
The main line cable is laid in conduit separate from the cable conduit.
The section of the line cables must be minimum 2.5 mm.
In case the input line characteristics do not match the requirements it is a good practice to install a
line conditioner.
The input line cable must be connected at the KALOS line terminal block CN100 as detailed in the
following figures.

CN100

WARNING
The KALOS line input must be protected by means of a safety switch, calibrated for
a maximum leakage current of 30 mA.

November 2022 Page 43 of 432

GE Healthcare
Revision 09

The unit can be disconnected from the input line turning in OFF position the line breakers S1 and
S2 mounted on the upper front side of the KALOS unit as shown in the following figure:

In case of intervention of one or both line breakers the installer must wait some seconds and then
try to re enable the breaker.
Lamp LP1 indicates if line voltage is present at the input terminal block CN100.
The KALOS ceiling suspension is equipped with an emergency button mounted on the front side of
the ceiling suspension touch screen.
In any dangerous situation, or in case a movement cannot be stopped, the operator must hit
immediately this switch. The emergency switch must be re-enabled only if the operator is
absolutely sure that the danger condition has been removed.
Such a switch is a normally closed contact and exits the KALOS unit via the pre-set emergency
cable GMM p/n 121018A as shown in the following figure:

November 2022 Page 44 of 432

GE Healthcare
Revision 09

WARNING
It is a good norm to connect the KALOS emergency switch in serial with the other
emergency switches located in the room.
The installer is responsible for the proper operation of the emergency switch.

5.7. CHANGING CABLE ENTRANCE

The ceiling suspension is usually installed with longitudinal rails parallel to the table longitudinal
movement and usually with cable entrance from the left.
The cable entrance is subordinated to the configuration of the room, and in particular to the
position chosen for the radiological generator.

In the example shown in the following figure, a right side cable entrance was hypothesised.
For rooms where the generator is placed on the right, it is advisable to modify Kalos cable
entrance in order to facilitate subsequent electrical connections. Please refer to points 4, 14 and
15.

12. CONTROL CIRCUITS & SW UTILITIES

12.1. FOREWORD
The control electronics of KALOS ceiling suspension has been designed in the way to grant an easy
upgradability of the system and a total flexibility in the management and controls of the motorised
components as single or when synchronised.
The calibration and configuration of the system is achievable through a GMM calibration SW
running on an external laptop computer.

12.2. CIRCUITS DESCRIPTION

The control electronics of KALOS ceiling suspension is based on a single control board located
inside the ceiling suspension itself.
In the X-ray tube support arm is located an electronic board that contains the physical interface
circuit for the capacitive circuits of the ceiling suspension handgrips and the force sensor used by
the CPU to realize the zero force control for the tube vertical movement.
All motor drivers are microprocessor controlled and integrate the interface circuit for the end of
travel switches or position sensors (encoders, potentiometers).
All driver are equipped with CAN interface and receive macro commands from the CPU controlling
the specific macro component of the system.
Touch screen CPU, mounted on the frontal part of the X-Ray tube is based on an industrial Intel
CPU running Windows XP or Windows 7 embedded and on a specific interface board for the CAN
communication with the other system components.

12.3. HW JUMPERS SETTINGS

KALOS control firmware includes a set of software switches whose function is to enable or disable
optional components of the system or skip some parts of the safety chain.
Such switches are accessible in service mode, through a specific configuration menu as detailed in
the following paragraphs of this section.
It must be underlined that the function of such switches might be related with the firmware
version installed on the unit. For this reason, it is a good practice to check all service notes
released after the distribution of this manual to be sure that the jumpers still conserve the original
function.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
There are some software switches that allow the service engineer to disable safety
interlocks of the unit. Such switches have the main purpose to easy the
troubleshooting operation of field engineers, but can also dramatically reduce the
safety level of the unit if enabled during normal operation.
It is therefore responsibility of the field engineer that such switches are not left
enabled, if not for the time strictly necessary for the troubleshooting operations.

The OVERWRITE button is located at the top center of the edit mask. This feature has been added
in order to swap configurations / calibrations between software versions that have different data
allocations. The button is enabled only if the memory parameters have been loaded. The
parameters can be loaded in two ways: By opening a previously saved file, or by downloading the
configuration from the system after opening the edit mask. The approach is outlined below:

- Before updating the system press DOWNLOAD to download the configuration file,
remember the name of the saved file.
- After updating the software, open the Flash Edit.
- Without closing the Fash Edit mask, go to the main screen and proceed with the new
download. At the end, the fields relating to the DEC and HEX columns will be filled. It is not
necessary to save the file as required.
- Press the OVERWRITE button when prompted to load the file saved with the previous
firmware. You will then be asked the name of the new file to be saved. The saved file will
contain the previous configuration / calibration compatible with the new firmware.
- Press UPLOAD and send the new configuration file.

The SAVE button is also not enabled. After modifying a parameter in the DEC or HEX column,
when the ENTER key is pressed on the computer keyboard, the SAVE button is enabled. By
pressing the SAVE key, the new file name is requested, after which the CRC is recalculated and the
new configuration saved. The file created in this way can be sent without reporting any errors.

12.10.16 TOUCH SCREEN CONSOLE CPU SW UPGRADE

The touch screen console, or internal PC, system disk is writing protected: therefore, before doing
any change on it, such as a software upgrade, it is necessary to disable this lock. There are two
different ways to do that:

FIRST METHOD: using batch file links located on the desktop

Two batch file links have been provided on the desktop: one is related to the protection status
query (Disk protection query.lnk) and the other one is related to the protection set command
(Set_Disk Protection.lnk).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
In case these two batch files are not present on the desktop, refer to SECOND
METHOD of this paragraph.

All the batch files are located in the directory C:\FBWF_setting and have the following effects:
- Prot_Query.bat queries the protection status of the disk (locked or unlocked);
- Reset_Prot.bat disables the disk protection (that is to say that the system disk is free starting
from the following boot);
- Set_Prot.bat enables the disk protection (that is to say that the system disk is locked starting
from the following boot).
November 2022 Page 223 of 432
GE Healthcare
Revision 09

The protection is related to the complete Compact Flash (disk C:) with the only exception of one
programmable folder, which you can modify by editing the Set_Prot.bat file, as shown in the
figure below.

November 2022 Page 224 of 432

GE Healthcare
Revision 09

For example, in order to protect the whole C: disk with the exception of the folder KalosCfgFiles
under C:, simply type this name in the field fbwfmgr /addexclusion c:. Then save and close the file.
Obviously, this operation can be done only when the Compact Flash is in its unlocked state,
otherwise any change in the file will be erased at the following startup.

12.11. DRIVERS PROGRAMMING

It is useful to know something about the programming and the configuration of the main driver
involved in the movement of the system. The Kalos system has only one type of driver,
Kollmorgen AKD, which is used for the following movement:

- Ceiling vertical movement (z).

All other movements are completely manual. This driver is used to pilot a more powerful DC
motor. It is powered by a single-phase alternated current with a voltage ranging from about 230 V
to 240 V.

12.11.1 KOLLMORGEN AKD DRIVER

As far as the programming and the configuration of the Kollmorgen AKD driver are concerned, you
only need an 8 pole Ethernet cable. Connect the cable from the driver to your laptop, as you can
see in the figure below.

Then leave the S1 trimmer of the driver in the position 1 and set the S2 trimmer to the position 3,
in order to set the IP address of the driver 192.168.0.3 (see the figure below).

13. CALIBRATIONS

13.1. ENTERING MAINTENANCE MODE

The KALOS unit is equipped with a service software utility that allows the installer to calibrate the
control circuits and to setup all the parameters the machine needs for its movements and
synchronizations.
In order to run the service software utility, it is necessary to enter the unit maintenance mode
carrying out the following procedure.
First, connect one of your laptop computer serial ports to connector CN30 of the CPU board of the
KALOS power supply unit using the GMM cable p/n 121041A. Alternatively build the cable using
the attached drawing.

Then start the service software utility by launching the file KalosService_V4_5.exe. In the
procedure described in this chapter, the software version of this service software utility is V 3.01.
In the figure below you see the start screen of the service software utility.

13.3. CEILING SUSPENSION CALIBRATIONS

Before carrying on the electrical calibration, it is necessary to verify the mechanical position of the
OTS.
In order to align the tube both to the table detector and to the wall bucky detector, it is necessary
to calibrate alpha and beta rotations. In fact, there are two different types of rotation: an
incidence rotation (alpha angle) nearly around the tube focus, and an arm rotation (beta angle)
around the center of the vertical suspension.
The buttons Left, Center and Right in the Incidence Offsets and Rotation Offsets menus refer
respectively to the angles -90°, 0° and +90°.
For tube incidence rotation, by looking at the ceiling suspension frontally, Left indicates the tube
orientated to your left side, Center indicates the tube orientated to the ground, and Right
indicates the tube orientated to your right side.
Same goes for tube arm rotation: by looking at the ceiling suspension frontally, Left indicates the
suspension arm orientated to your left side, Center indicates the suspension arm orientated
towards you, and Right indicates the suspension arm orientated to your right side.

13.3.1 TUBE INCIDENCE ROTATION (ALPHA)

In order to calibrate the alpha angles, you have to position the tube at the three different
orientations (Left, Center and Right). The sequence of the calibration is free.
If you press the numeric field on the right side of the button, that value will be automatically
updated to the actual valore in (mV) representing the tube position. If you now press the button
corresponding to the position where the tube is, the value on the right side will be sent to the
machine.

November 2022 Page 270 of 432

GE Healthcare
Revision 09

A message on the right side of the screen will notify it. Here is an example only for the center
orientation of the tube. The same is for the other two orientations.

If the value entered in the numeric field on the right side of the button differs from the one read
by the processor, a confirmation request is displayed. The larger button Send READ Value is the
recommended choice, the smaller one Send EDIT Value allows the value override (experts only).

13.3.6 CLISIS-EXEL OFFSETS

Now move Kalos suspension so that the collimator light beam is projected exactly in the middle of
Clisis Exel tabletop, then press Lateral and Longitudinal buttons in Suspension menu to acquire
Clisis lateral and longitudinal coordinates respectively. In this way, Kalos anti-collision system
knows the exact position of Clisis Exel table (dim. 3700 mm x 940 mm).

Select Tab Park Zone.

As usual, a notification message will warn the operator that the calibration has been carried out
successfully.

Therefore, it is useful to have a zone where the suspension can be parked. If Kalos approaches this
zone, its lateral and longitudinal brakes will automatically be activated. Besides that, two

13.3.7 ANTI-COLLISION SYSTEM

WARNING
Ultrasound anti-collision sensor is mandatory on KALOS ceiling suspension and must
be kept active necessarily.
If disabled, there could be extensive casualties and material damage.

KALOS ceiling suspension is provided with anti-collision software that assists the operator in
identifying the potential risk areas of collision with Clisis Exel table and wall bucky receptor. This
tool does not exonerate the operator from moving KALOS suspension (that is a manual
suspension) with extreme caution.

WARNING
KALOS anti-collision system is neither able to know whether Clisis Exel table is in
horizontal position or not, nor to recognize some other parts of the room (X-Ray
tube, collimator, Clisis Exel column, wall bucky column, generator) and the patient
himself.
For these reasons, the operator has to pay the utmost attention to avoid any
collision between the room components.

When moving Kalos suspension within a collision zone (of Clisis Exel table or wall bucky receptor),
a yellow message warns about the collision condition. It remains visible as long as the collision is
removed.

November 2022 Page 290 of 432

GE Healthcare
Revision 09

Beyond the warning message, the collision condition is combined with an acoustic alarm made of
eight “beep” repetitions. It takes place only when approaching a new collision zone and stops after
eight repetitions even if KALOS suspension is still within the collision detection area.

13.3.7.1 “MANUAL ANTICOLLISION ENABLE” OPTION

Furthermore, if Manual anti-collision enable option is checked, as soon as a collision condition
comes into play, it is no longer possible to keep on moving Kalos suspension toward the collision
zone. In this condition, if the operator tries to continue such a movement by releasing and seizing
the handles again, the brakes immediately intervene to stop it, the yellow warning message
appears on Kalos’ touchscreen and finally the acoustic alarm is emitted.

On the opposite, if Manual anti-collision enable option is not checked, the operator is warned
about the collision condition from both the yellow message and the acoustic alarm, but it is still
possible to move Kalos suspension manually toward any direction. Only the vertical movement
(both manual and motorized) is stopped as soon as a collision condition is reached.

The following chart resumes what has been said in this section.

Revision 09

13.3.7.2 “COLLISION BRAKE ENABLE” OPTION

Collision brake enable option is referred to the speed of Kalos motorized vertical movement; it is
not valid for manual vertical movement.
If Collision brake enable option is checked, Kalos vertical movement slows when approaching the
collision zone before stopping definitively. It is valid both for collisions with Clisis Exel table and
wall bucky.
Contrarily, if Collision brake enable is not checked, Kalos vertical movement stops upon coming
into contact with collision zone without slowing at all.

GE Healthcare
Revision 09

The parameter Bucky Center is used for the memorization of the lateral / longitudinal software
switch, which represents the center of the Wall Bucky, and it is used for the synchronism of the
suspension with the Wall Bucky. Just laterally / longitudinally align the suspension with the Wall
Bucky and press this button.

A debug message will appear on the right side of the screen.

As far as the vertical offset is concerned, you can adjust the suspension height measure with the
Wall Bucky height measure in order to perfectly synchronize the collimator light with the center of
the Wall Bucky in tracking modality. In order to do this, insert the distance in mm of the center of
the collimator light from the center of the Wall Bucky and press the Vertical Offset button. If the
system is in tracking mode, you will see the suspension vertically moving towards the center of the
Wall Bucky and covering the previous gap.

is also enabled if you press the Synchro button on the touch screen.

13.5. MECHANICAL CALIBRATIONS

13.5.1 CALIBRATION OF THE STRAIN GAUGE

As far as the vertical manual movement of the suspension is concerned, the core of the system is
the strain gauge, placed behind the tube. It is a sensor which can detect the force the user
transmits to the handlebar (in both directions, up and down), and translates this information to
the suspension CPU which enables the vertical movement of the motor in a way to simulate a
“force zero” movement. In order to do that, the strain-gauge signal has to be read and later
amplified by an analogic board placed just behind it. Nevertheless, a procedure has to be
performed in order to calibrate the electrical voltages on some test points of the board.
● Make sure the X-ray tube support is loaded with the real final weight (X-ray tube, collimator,
housings …).
● Verify there is about 1.5 mm between the two nuts (C, D in the following figure) and the
metallic support (E).
● Let the strain gauge loose from its locking nuts.
● Adjust the voltage on TP14 of the board 121786 (or 006050.194) with PT2 in order to obtain 0
mV.
● Tighten the two locking nuts (A, B in the following figure) of the strain gauge very smoothly.
After that, make sure the voltage on TP14 is still at 0 mV; if not, adjust it as long as 0 mV is
obtained again.
● Adjust the voltage on TP9 of the same board with PT1 in order to obtain 2500 mV.
● Lay a little weight over the tube – collimator assembly and adjust the voltage on TP9 (on the
same board) with PT3 in order to have a variation of 100 mV per kg applied (for example, if

November 2022 Page 306 of 432

GE Healthcare

you place a 7 kg object over the tube – collimator assembly, you have to read a voltage of
1800 mV = (2500 – 700) mV on TP9).
● Switch the system off and then on.
● Release the vertical brake by touching the handles sensors laterally (as not to apply vertical
forces!) and verify that the ceiling suspension does not move vertically. If you notice a vertical
movement (even very slow), adjust PT2 once more in order to stop such a movement (that is
to obtain 0 mV on TP14 also if the brake has been released).
● Hold the handles and move the ceiling suspension upward and downward. Adjust PT3 once
more as long as a fluid movement is perceivable.

15.5. CLEANING AND DISINFECTION

Turn off the equipment and disconnect the electrical supply before starting any cleaning or
disinfection operations.

15.5.1 CLEANING
Clean the equipment by means of a soft cloth or a cotton pad. Dampen the cloth or pad with a
solution of tepid water and normal household liquid detergent.
Do not use any abrasive detergents, organic solvents, or cleansers containing solvents (alcohol,
ether).

WARNING
Do not use liquid sprays! Fluid cleansers must not under any circumstance
penetrate the equipment!

EQUIPMENT CLEANING PHASE:

In the various equipment cleaning steps, use specific products that, in case of accidental contact
with the guide, do not damage it.
The following are the suitable/allowed products:
- Solmentar C4 degreaser (Cod. GMM 33675)
- Certisuds degreaser (Cod. GMM 33912)

Once the cleaning phase is completed, lubricate the guide with protective oil (CONTRAKOR FLUID
H1 SPRAY – KLUBER – GMM P/N 161254).

SURFACE RUST REMOVAL:

If there is rust on the guides, the operator must perform the following operations in order to
remove it.
Wear nitrile gloves and use a layer of 1000-grit wettable sand paper.
Rub the sand paper repeatedly over the rusty part of the linear guide, until the rust is eliminated.

To reach the rust located in a concave area of the guide, use a piece of 1.5 mm2- diameter
electrical wire, and wrap it with wettable,1000-grit sand paper.

Once the sanding phase is completed, lubricate the guide with protective oil (ANTICORIT RP 4107
LV).
NOTE: If, after insistent sanding activity, the rust is still there, please report the item.

November 2022 Page 345 of 432

GE Healthcare
Revision 09

15.5.2 DISINFECTION
For disinfecting the surfaces we recommend using a liquid solution with aldehyde or amphoteric
based water solution for disinfecting surfaces such as Tego 103, Korsolin (not available in Canada.
For Canadian market we recommend using tb Minuteman or hx2). Disinfectants containing
phenolic substances or chlorine are partially abrasive and not recommended. These limitations are
to be taken into account for agents with alcohol used in non-diluted form (ex.: for disinfecting
hands).
Disinfectant sprays must not be used: the spray could penetrate the equipment. Consequently,
equipment safety cannot be guaranteed (possible damage to electronic components, formation of
inflammable mixtures of air and solvent vapors).

N.B. It is generally known that disinfectants can be hazardous to health. Concentrations of

disinfectants in air that is breathed must not exceed specific legal limits. For this reason, it is
important to follow instructions supplied by the manufacturer regarding their usage.

19. ERROR MESSAGES

19.1. KALOS ERROR SITUATION MANAGEMENT

As far as the KALOS unit is concerned, there are 3 possible kinds of error messages coming from
the system:

AUTORESET error messages

They can appear on the touch screen of the ceiling suspension when a particular situation happens
(for example, the system has entered a collision zone with an object inside the room) and they
automatically disappear when the conditions which caused the particular situation to happen are
not present any more (for example, the system has come out of that collision zone). They do not
block the normal working status of the system.

WARNING error messages

They are the same as the AUTORESET error messages with the only difference that they do not
automatically disappear from the touch screen, but you have to press a button to make them
disappear. They are only warning messages for the operator and they do not block the normal
working status of the system.

BLOCKING error messages

They are particularly important error messages (for example, driver faults or some other hardware
faults) and they cannot be deleted. You have to switch off the system or call the technical
assistance. They block the normal working status of the system.

Each of them is characterized by the subject of the error, that is to say the sub-unit inside the
whole system which caused the error (for example, the ceiling and so on). For each subject there is
the corresponding device which caused the error to happen (for example, inside the ceiling
subject, there is a diversification between the longitudinal movement, table up and down
movement and so on).

November 2022 Page 394 of 432

GE Healthcare
Revision 09

19.2. UNIT NORMAL OPERATIVE PHASE

During the unit normal operative phase, the operator can see on the touch screen unit one of the
three kinds of error messages. Each kind of error message can appear both at the startup and
during the operative phase of the system.

- AUTORESET error messages

The first type can be shown in the figure below. The background of this message is always yellow
and always at the top center of the touch screen. It will not disappear until the source of the
warning has not gone away: after that it will automatically disappear.
The figure shows that the subject of the error is KALOS ceiling suspension and the device of the
error is (in a generic way) the ceiling suspension. After these two indications, there is the
description of the error, in this case a simple warning message telling that the system has just
entered the parking zone. In this case, the operator has just to push the system again out of the
parking zone and the auto reset message will automatically disappear.

November 2022 Page 395 of 432

GE Healthcare
Revision 09

- WARNING error messages

The second type can be shown in the figure below. The background of this message is always light
blue and appears in the central part of the touch screen, in such a way covering some information
and buttons. Below the message, there is a button representing a bell, which the operator has to
press in order to make the warning disappear and eventually perform action associated with the
warning.
The figure shows that the subject of the error is KALOS ceiling suspension and the device of the
error is (in a generic way) the ceiling suspension. After these two indications there is the
description of the error, in this case a warning message telling that during the startup the system
read a not correct analogic value for the handlebar n. 1 (horn n. 1). In this case, the operator has
to press the small button representing the bell: the warning message will then disappear but the
operator knows that the handlebar n. 1 will has a malfunction and will be disabled by the system
for a security reason.

November 2022 Page 396 of 432

GE Healthcare
Revision 09

- BLOCKING error messages

The third type can be shown in the figure below. The background of this message is always light
blue and appears in the central part of the touch screen, in such a way covering some information
and buttons. Due to its particular gravity, this message will never disappear even if the operator
presses the button representing the bell (like the case of the warning messages), so that the
operator is forced to switch off the whole system and eventually call the technical assistance.
The figure shows that the subject of the error is KALOS ceiling suspension and the device of the
error is the Vertical Driver. After these two indications, there is the description of the error, in this
case a blocking message telling that the ultrasound sonar (which measures the distance of any
object inside its action range) has suddenly stopped working. In this case, the operator cannot do
anything apart from switching off the system and checking the hardware.

19.3. BELT SAFETY MESSAGE

WARNING
The belt safety device has the function of detecting the breakage or loosening of the
belts operating the vertical movement of the ceilstand.
The intervention of the belt safety device takes place in one of the following
conditions:
- Ceilstand collision during downward movement. Removing the blockage cause,
the system resumes working.
- The microswitches are not adjusted. You should call for service.
- A belt has broken. You should call for service. The system CANNOT BE USED.
In case of intervention of the device, the downward movement of the ceilstand is
disabled, and it can only be moved upwards.

If, while using the device, the message WARNING (A) appears, the operator must follow the
procedure hereunder:

Check that no accidental collision has taken place between the ceilstand and objects in the
examination area.
If there was an accidental collision, check that there are no broken parts.
