The line cord on the monitor cart should be plugged into a properly grounded and rated outlet.
5.0
SYSTEM CHECK-OUT Service personnel are cautioned to observe all CAUTIONS and WARNINGSas they appear in the text of this section, and observe the general safety precautions outlined in the Service Engineer‘s Safety Manual, U95:M. The instructions for system check-out require that the operator has read this entire manual and is familiar with the Operation of this equipment.
5.1
AC Power Check lnspect the AC power cord on the system to ensure that it is compatible with the AC power receptacle. Verify that the AC line voltage is proper for the Operation of the equipment. WARNING:
The unit must be grounded through the U-Shaped grounding prong of the line plug. Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong adapter unless properly installed by a licensed electrician. Failure to comply with the foregoing may cause serious or fatal injuries to the Operator and other persons in the surrounding area.
NOTE:
System input power must be set to match service LINE voltage. For voltages above and below 110 V AC input LINE voltages must be compensated for by adjusting to either 100 V AC, or 120 V AC at the terminal block located at the lower rear of the monitor cart.
11
5.2
Leakage Current Check The installation of this X-ray equipment may include a check of the leakage current. This should be performed with a properly calibrated leakage meter, in aceordance with the leakage meter instructions. Inspect the ground leads for solid ground connections. Insert a properly calibrated leakage meter (with 100 0 input impedance) in series with the CB7-D line cord per the leakage meter instructions. Turn on power and verify that the leakage current does not exceed 100 1iA in either normal or reversed line polarity.
-
5.3
Disconnect the leakage meter and insert the CB7-D line cord into the AC receptacle. Connect the black lead of the leakage meter to an exposed metal surface of the CB7-D per the leakage meter instructions. Turn on power and verify that the leakage current is no more than 10 ~tA. Mechanical Movement The C-Arm is capable of moving in an arc (115 deg.), rotating in the vertical plane (+1- 225 deg.) or swiveling ( +1- 12 deg.). One at a time, release each brake and verify full and unrestricted movement. Secure each brake when finished. Release the horizontal brake and verify the approximate 20 cm of horizontal travel. Release the hand brake on the mobile cart by pulling the handle up and check that the cart moves freely and may be steered by turning the brake handle. Turn on system power at the monitor cart control panel, and verify that the vertical position motor can raise and lower the C-Arm when operated from the mobile cart control panel.
5.4
Operation X-ray equipment operators should protect themselves and others in the area with such devices as lead aprons or shields. All standard safety precautions must be observed and exposure to the X-ray beam must be strictly avoided. The collimator may be used toxestrict the radiation beam during checkout. After the system has been properly connected and powered on, the CB7-D will be in the following operating mode: * * * *
Fluoroscopy, 3 mA max. Automatic dose rate control Live image on left monitor with last image hold Normal picture size (no magnification)
After power on, the kV level is set at 36 kV as indicated by the kV display. Fluoroscopy may commence once the cathode filament has preheated (ninety seconds after power up) and is activated by pressing the hand or foot switch. In the automatic dose control mode, the kV will be adjusted automatically and the resulting setting will be displayed. After fluoro, the display will show the last kV setting. The mA display operates only when fluoroscopy is performed and only in the 3 mA or 6 mA modes.
12
Check that the siot and iris collimators may be opened and closed and the siot collimator can rotate. Check that the image reversal and magnification (zoom) functions operate properly and that the “kV manual“ mode may be selected and the kV setting may be adjusted manually. NOTE:
Do not perform Fluoroscopy or Radiography in the kV manual mode at a kV level higher than the object requires. This will prevent the camera from being overdriven by high light levels. Verify that the Radiography mode may be initiated with the hand switch only and that the time setting for radiography is adjustable from 0.1 sec. to 4.0 sec.
On the monitor cart, verify that the live fluoroscopy image appears on the left monitor and the last image is held after a fluoro is completed. When exposure occurs (active radiation from the generator) during either fluoroscopy or radiography, the amber light on top of the left monitor should be illuminated and the two rectangles on the top of the monitor display should disappear. Verify that the monitor image may be rotated from the controls on the mobile cart. Check that the cassette light on the monitor cart is illuminated when the film cassette is fully inserted. 6.0

***FLUORQSCOPY***
8.0
INTRODUCTION The use of the Ziehm CB7-D in Fluoroscopy can be as simple as powering on the system, waiting approx. 90 seconds for the cathode filament to preheat, and activating the hand or foot switch to view the first image. lt is also sophisticated enough to allow these options: * * * * * * * * * * * *
6 mA Fluoro 8 mA Snapshot Pulsed Fluoroscopy Manual Control of kV Zoom (Magnification) Disable Filtering Multi-Format Storage Dual Monitor Display Image Reversal Image Rotation Iris Collimation Siot Collimation with Rotation
These options are described in subsequent sections of this manual. This document should be carefully read before any attempt is made to operate the CB7-D. This will contribute to the safe use of the equipment and allow the Operation to be quickly mastered.
8.1
Basic Operation Before the system is powered up, the cable connecting the mobile stand and the monitor cart must be installed, and the line cord should be connected to a properly grounded outlet of adequate capacity. The CB7-D is switched on from the mobile cart control panel. After power up, the System is in-the following operating modes: * * * * * *
Fluoroscopy, 3 mA max. Filter enabled (Frame integration) kV Automatic (Automatic Dose Rate Control) Normal picture size Live Image on left monitor Last Image Hold
Approx. 90 seconds after power up (during which time the cathode filament preheats) fluoroscopy can be initiated by activating the hand or foot switch. The brightness and contraSt controls on the monitor may then be adjusted. After the switch is released, the last image will be held cm the left monitor.
18
PIC. 4 illustrates the differences among continuous, pulsed, and snapshot fluoroscopy. When radiation is present, the live image is displayed. When radiation is not present, the last live image will be held and will continue to be displayed until the frame counter is changed, or a new live image displayed.
