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, Medical Systems Group, 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 everyone 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, Medical Systems Group, its agents, and
representatives have no responsibility for injury or damage which may result from improper use of the equipment.
Various protective material and devices are available. It is urged that such materials or devices be used.

All electrical installations that are preliminary to positioning of the equipment at the site prepared for the equipment shall be
performed by licensed electrical contractors. In addition, electrical feeds into the Power Distribution Unit shall be performed by
licensed electrical contractors. Other connections between pieces of electrical equipment, calibrations, and testing shall be
performed by qualified GE Medical personnel. The products involved (and the accompanying electrical installations) are highly
sophisticated, and special engineering competence is required.
In performing all electrical work on these products, GE will use its own specially trained field engineers. All of GEs electrical
work on these products will comply with the requirements of the applicable electrical codes.
The purchaser of GE equipment shall only utilize qualified personnel (i.e., GEs field engineers, personnel of third-party service
companies with equivalent training, or licensed electricians) to perform electrical servicing on the equipment.

SLIP RING AGING
Introduction
Multiwire aging is to be performed on systems with a voltage drop due to slip ring/brush contact greater
than 0.5 Volts. This voltage drop is checked during the first three sections of this procedure; do not perform this multi
wire aging if the voltage drop is within specification.
Cautions
NOTICE
Do NOT perform the AGING for the PANEL RING !!!
CAUTION
Possible irreparable damage. The inner signal slip rings are very sensitive, never touch them.
CAUTION
Rotation Hazard.
Part of this procedure will be conducted with the Service Switch ON.
Ensure that the Gantry is balanced properly at every position
NOTICE
Excessive aging reduces the life of the signal brushes.
In any case, total aging must NOT exceed 20 hours (90000 rotations).

Signal Ring Brush Contact Check (before Aging)

1.
Perform Signal Ring Brush Contact Check. Refer to Section 5-2 SIGNAL RING BRUSH CONTACT
CHECK.
2.
Proceed as follows:
Voltage drop < 0.5 Volts: Do not perform this procedure, and return the system to normal. Investigate other
causes.
Voltage drop > 0.5 Volts: proceed to the next subsection (Air Condition Check).
Air Condition Check

1.
If the system can afford to have 3 weeks to shoot the trouble, perform this subsection, if not, perform next sub
section (Stainless Slip Ring Aging).
2.
File the surfaces of three signal brushes (in Aging kit) from the kit using Sand Paper.
3.
Attach these three signal brushes on the rear cover of the Gantry using Adhesive Tape. (This is to investigate
the air condition in the scan room.) (see illustration 64)

FILE THE SURFACES

4.
Three weeks later after attaching the brushes, compare the color of the brush surfaces with the Color Chart (in
Aging kit) (see illustration 65).
If the color of the brush surfaces has turned similar to color of STEP 1 or STEP 2 or STEP 3, proceed next sub
section (Stainless Slip Ring Aging). This result indicates that the air condition is no problem.
If the color of the brush surfaces has turned similar to color of STEP 4 or STEP 5 or STEP 6, this indicates that
the air contains sulfur or sulfur dioxide exceeding the acceptable level. Stop working and CALL A.S.C, E.S.C
or O.L.C.

CLASS 1 EQUIPMENT
Any permanently installed equipment containing operator or patient accessible surfaces must provide backup protection against electric shock,in case the BASIC INSULATION fails. In addition to BASIC INSULATION,Class1 equipment contains a direct connection to a PROTECTIVE(EARTH) CONDUCTOR which prevents shocks when a person
touches a broken piece of equipment or touches two different equipment surfaces simultaneously.
TYPE B EQUIPMENT
CLASS I, II, or III EQUIPMENT or EQUIPMENT with INTERNAL ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCES provide an adequate degree of protection against electric shock arising from (allowable) LEAKAGE CURRENTS or a breakdown
in the reliability of the protective earth connection.
ORDINARY EQUIPMENT
Enclosed EQUIPMENT without protection against the ingress of water.
OPERATION 0f EQUIPMENT
CONTINUOUS OPERATION WITH INTERMITTENT LOADING.

Operation in which EQUIPMENT is connected continuously to the SUPPLY MAINS. The stated permissible loading
time is so short that the long term onload operating temperature is not attained. The ensuing interval in loading is,
however, not sufficiently long for cooling down to the long term noload operating temperature.
EQUIPMENT not suitable for use in the presence of a FLAMMABLE ANESTHETIC MIXTURE WITH AIR or WITH
OXYGEN or NITROUS OXIDE
CLEANING
The ProSpeed S series system is NOT WATERPROOF. It is NOT designed to protect internal components against
the ingress of liquids.Clean external system surfaces(Gantry,table,consoles and accessories)with a soft cloth dipped
in hot water and wrung DAMP/DRY. (NOT dripping!) IF NECESSARY, use only mild (dish washing liquid) soap to remove dirt.
NOTICE
Avoid damage to equipment! Some spray and wipecleaners etch and permanently cloud
clear plastic surfaces!! Use only warm water and mild liquid soap to clean surfaces.
