Emergency stop buttons shall not to be used during maintenance or servicing operations in
place of required lock-out procedures. The equipment shall only be serviced by trained service
personnel. Service personnel shall be knowledgeable of and follow their organizations
required lock-out procedure. This procedure should state that the equipment shall not be
serviced without locking the electrical disconnect in the open position.
WARNING! This equipment may be dangerous to patient and operator unless safe exposure
and operating instructions are observed.
The Detector Head produces no x-radiation. The system produces digital medical images
when coupled with specified medical x-ray equipment. All appropriate safety precautions
should be taken when working with x-ray equipment.
X-ray exposure may be damaging to health with some effects being cumulative and extending
over months or even years. Operators and service personnel should avoid any exposure to the
primary beam and take protective measures to safeguard against scatter radiation. Scatter
radiation is caused by any object in the path of the primary beam and may be of equal or less
intensity than the primary beam.
An effective protective measure is the use of lead shielding. To minimize dangerous exposure,
use such items as lead screens, lead impregnated gloves, aprons, and thyroid collars. The lead
screen should contain aminimum of 2.0 mm of lead or equivalent and personal protective
devices (aprons, gloves, etc.) must contain a minimum of 0.25 mm of lead or equivalent. For
confirmation of the local requirements at your site, please refer to your Local Radiation
Protection Rules as provided by your Radiation Protection Advisor.
Only certified and properly trained, authorized personnel should be permitted to take x-ray
exposures. No practical design can incorporate complete protection for personnel who do not
follow proper safety precautions.
The most effective method of measuring radiation exposure may involve use of an
exposure measuring instrument. Measurements should be taken in any location
where the operator or any portion of the body is exposed. Exposure must never
exceed the accepted tolerable dose.
WARNING! Do not allow patients to pull themselves up from a sitting or lying position
using the patient handles or any other part of the system.
WARNING! This equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable
anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
NOTE: The appropriate x-ray imaging exposure parameters should be consistent with
established Federal and Provincial/State radiation protection practices and
medical imaging standards in your institution.

The 2200 system requires no additional air conditioning when installed in a modern
commercial structure.
The temperature range for the control system is 15C to 30C (60F to 86F).
The operating humidity range is 0% to 70% non-condensing relative humidity.
The 2200 system emits approximately 1500 btu per hour (440 W) under maximum operating
conditions.
The IDC Magellan 3 Application is an accessory intended to acquire images from the system,
display the images for viewing or reviewing, and transmit the images to a PACS (Picture
Archiving and Communications System) for image archiving or to a DICOM (Digital Imaging
and Communications in Medicine) compliant printer. It is intended for use by radiation
technologists, physicians, and other medical personnel qualified to perform medical
examinations.
To avoid unintentional loss of data, it is recommended that the contents of the workstation's
hard drive be backed up nightly. The amount of data on the system may vary from 5 GB to
160 GB; therefore, it is important to pick an appropriate data back-up. For facilities using a
PACS, the PACS acts as a back-up for image data; however, an appropriate back-up to tape or
external hard-drive must be used for applications or configuration files. Facilities not using a
PACS should back-up all data to a tape or external hard drive.
CAUTION! Mobile telephones or other radiating equipment can interfere with the
function of the system and can, therefore, be safety hazards.
To prevent interference, surrounding equipment should comply with the standard IEC
60601-1-2.

Revision Information
Version Date Description
2.1 Purpose
This module provides information for safety features, technical specifications and
mechanical operations of the 1590 stand. It is intended to be used by technologists and
administrators.
The 1590 stand is integrated with a ceiling tube mount, x-ray tube, collimator, and
generator. See the manuals accompanying this equipment for operating instructions.
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure the safety of the patient while
the system is in operation through visual observation, proper patient
positioning, and the use of devices intended to prevent patient injury.
WARNING! Ensure there are no objects on the Detector Arm and Detector Head surface
before powering on the system.
WARNING! Ensure the x-ray tube is placed into the appropriate working position with the
reference axis (x-ray beam) directed towards the reception area.
WARNING! Ensure that you have inserted the grid properly. The grid type sticker is on
the front surface of the grid.
WARNING! When removing the grid from the grid drawer, ensure the grid is held
securely by its handle to prevent the grid from falling. Failing to have a
secure grip on the grid by its handle may cause injury to the operator and patient
or may damage the equipment.
WARNING! Never attempt to clean any part of the system when it is switched on. Always
switch off the equipment and isolate the mains electrical supply before
cleaning.Service must only be carried out by qualified, trained service personnel.
Physical injury or damage to the equipment can result from untrained personnel
attempting maintenance without supervision.
WARNING! Service must only be carried out by qualified, trained service personnel. Physical
injury or damage to the equipment can result from untrained personnel
attempting maintenance without supervision.
WARNING! Operators may not be in contact with a patient and non-medical equipment
within the room if the equipment has covers removed for routine maintenance.
WARNING! Patients shall not be in the room when routine maintenance is being performed
on medical or non-medical equipment by service personnel.
WARNING! The collimator should not be open beyond the Detector Head area of 43 x 43 cm
(17 x 17 in). The beam is not to extend past the face plate of the Detector Head.
The technologist must ensure the collimation beam is smaller than the imaging
area.
CAUTION! The Remote Control is an accessory to the stand and must remain within the
system environment at all times.
CAUTION! Keep a minimum distance of 2 meters from the focal spot and x-ray beam when
operating or servicing x-ray equipment. Ensure the body is protected and do not
expose any parts of the body to the primary beam.
CAUTION! For scheduled departmental power tests, the main power should be turned off
until testing is complete.
CAUTION! Take care when handling the grid. Bending or dropping the grid will easily
damage it. A damaged grid may compromise image quality.
CAUTION! The technologist must ensure the proper technique is used for each procedure so
that the focal spot to skin distance is as large as possible. This ensures that the
absorbed dose to the patient is a as low as reasonably possible. In normal use, the
focal spot to skin distance should be greater than 45 cm.
CAUTION! The technologist is responsible for the safety of the patient and must ensure the
patient can communicate with the technologist when the x-ray is being
performed. The technologist should never leave the patient unattended while the
patient is in the x-ray room.
NOTE: A list on the front of the collimator, enables the technologist to determine, prior to
loading, the extent of x-ray fields for normal use. The dimensions for appropriate
SID are indicated with settings for collimator settings.
NOTE: The technologist can accurately set the x-ray beam using the knobs on the front
panel of the collimator. This x-ray beam required depending on the SID chosen
and the study being performed. Carefully setting the beam will prevent the beam
from falling outside the boundary of the face plate. Careful collimation is
important to ensure acceptable dose/benefit balances is achieved.
NOTE: Power to the system should be on prior to starting the Magellan 3 Application.
NOTE: The appropriate use of grid or non-grid imaging standards should be consistent
with the established medical imaging standards in your institution.
NOTE: The technologist must adjust the position of the collimator so the cross hairs of
the collimator line up with the applicable anatomy being imaged. The center of
the cross hairs of the collimator is the centre of the x-ray source.
NOTE: The Source to Image Distance can be adjusted from 100 cm to 180 cm (40 - 72 -
in). The SID must be adjusted depending on the SID required for the study being
performed for normal use.
NOTE: If the SID is adjustable, the SID should be adjusted and displayed on the
equipment prior to loading or positioning patient. The SID cannot differ by more
than 5% from the value indicated on the collimator, for normal use.
WARNING! When using x-ray accessories or other items that do not form part of the
system, possible adverse effects may arise. See Table 2-1. For the maximum
attenuation equivalent of possible materials located in the x-ray beam.

NOTE: A list on the front of the collimator, enables the technologist to determine, prior to
loading, the extent of x-ray fields for normal use. The dimensions for appropriate SID
are indicated with settings for collimator settings.
NOTE: The technologist can accurately set the x-ray beam using the knobs on the front panel
of the collimator. This x-ray beam required depending on the SID chosen and the
study being performed. Carefully setting the beam will prevent the beam from falling

acceptable dose/benefit balances is achieved.
WARNING! Ensure the x-ray tube is placed into the appropriate working position with the
reference axis (x-ray beam) directed towards the reception area.
The EUREKA LINEAR MC150 Collimator contains two major sets of shutters, long and
cross, which define the absolute X-ray field size. There is also a fixed aperture cone which
protrudes into the port of the X-ray tube that helps reduce the effects of off-focus radiation.
See Figure 2-21.
Both shutter mechanisms are geared with anti-backlash mechanisms coupled though shafts to
SID indicator scales and knobs on the front panel. The shutters are positioned manually with
these knobs. Back-illuminated SID scales indicate all conventional film sizes for both 100 cm
and 180 cm SID's, as well as 40 inches and 72 inches in SIDs.
(Refer to Progeny Collimator manuals.)
All Eureka Linear Series collimators have a swivel mount configuration. Detents are located
at 90 degree increments. The collimator may be oriented to any position for achieving proper
X-ray field alignment for table-top or non-bucky operation.
The shutter mechanism has been precisely aligned with respect to the mounting flange at the
factory. Therefore, the necessity for field alignment of the central ray has been virtually
eliminated.
The Eureka Lamp times shuts off after approximately 25 seconds and may be reset at any
time. Quick turn-off features allows for limited lamp use. Light output> 160 LUX at 40
inches.
Figure 2-21
WARNING! The collimator should not be open beyond the Detector Head area of 43 x 43
cm (17 x 17 in). The beam is not to extend past the face plate of the Detector
Head. The technologist must ensure the collimation beam is smaller than the
imaging area. See Figure 2-22.
Figure 2-22
NOTE: The technologist must adjust the position of the collimator so the cross hairs of
the collimator line up with the applicable anatomy being imaged. The center of
the cross hairs of the collimator is the centre of the x-ray source.

This procedure is to be performed at the beginning of each day or after each time the x-ray
unit has been off for two hours or more. It is necessary to warm-up the machine before
making full exposures to prolong tube life and to ensure standard output.
2.10.1.2 Procedure
1. Turn on the x-ray unit.
2. Close the collimator blades fully shut.
3. Set the following technique: 60 kVp, 50 mA, 2000 ms, and small focal spot. If these
settings cannot be achieved, choose the closest setting.
4. Take an exposure, then wait for 30 seconds.
5. Increase the kVp in 20 kVp steps up to 120 kVp, taking an exposure at each step. Wait for
30 seconds between each exposure.
NOTE: The Source to Image Distance can be adjusted from 100 cm to 180 cm (40 in to
72 in). The SID must be adjusted depending on the SID required for the study
being performed for normal use.
NOTE: If the SID is adjustable, the SID should be adjusted and displayed on the
equipment prior to loading or positioning patient. The SID cannot differ by more
than 5% from the value indicated on the collimator, for normal use.
CAUTION! The technologist must ensure the proper technique is used for each procedure
so that the focal spot to skin distance is as large as possible. This ensures that
the absorbed dose to the patient is a as low as reasonably possible. In normal
use, the focal spot to skin distance should be greater than 45 cm.
CAUTION! The technologist is responsible for the safety of the patient and must ensure the
patient can communicate with the technologist when the x-ray is being
performed. The technologist should never leave the patient unattended while the
patient is in the x-ray room.
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure the safety of the patient while the
system is in operation through visual observation, proper patient positioning, and
the use of devices intended to prevent patient injury.
WARNING! IDC, its agents, and representatives do not accept any responsibility for
overexposure of patients or personnel to x-radiation due to poor operating
techniques or procedures.
CAUTION! Keep a minimum distance of 2 meters from the focal spot and x-ray beam when
operating or servicing x-ray equipment. Ensure the body is protected and do not
expose any parts of the body to the primary beam.

This module provides information for safety features, technical specifications, and
mechanical operations of the 1100 table. It is intended to be used by trained radiographers,
technologists, and administrators.
The 1100 table is integrated with an overhead tube crane, x-ray tube, collimator, and
generator. See the manuals accompanying this equipment for operating instructions.
DANGER! Upon activation of motorized movement, the working area under and around
the 1100 table should be free of obstacles.
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure the safety of the patient while
the system is in operation through visual observation, proper patient
positioning, and the use of devices intended to prevent patient injury.
WARNING! Ensure there are no objects on the Detector Arm and Detector Head surface
before powering on the system.
WARNING! Ensure the x-ray tube is placed into the appropriate working position with the
reference axis (x-ray beam) directed towards the reception area.
WARNING! Ensure that you have inserted the grid properly. The grid type sticker is on
the front surface of the grid.
WARNING! When removing the grid from the grid drawer, ensure the grid is held securely by
its handle to prevent the grid from falling. Failing to have a secure grip on the
grid by its handle may cause injury to the operator and patient or may damage the
equipment.
WARNING! Never attempt to clean any part of the system when it is switched on. Always
switch off the equipment and isolate the mains electrical supply before
cleaning.Service must only be carried out by qualified, trained service personnel.
Physical injury or damage to the equipment can result from untrained personnel
attempting maintenance without supervision.
WARNING! Operators may not be in contact with a patient and non-medical equipment
within the room if the equipment has covers removed for routine maintenance.
WARNING! Patients shall not be in the room when routine maintenance is being performed
on medical or non-medical equipment by service personnel.
WARNING! The collimator should not be open beyond the Detector Head area of 43 x 43 cm
(17 x 17 in). The beam is not to extend past the face plate of the Detector Head.
The technologist must ensure the collimation beam is smaller than the imaging
area.
WARNING! When operating motorized equipment in preparation for loading the patient,
place wheelchair patients outside the patient environment until the equipment is
in the desired position.
WARNING! After adjusting the hospital bed and tabletop to the same height, place the bed in
contact with the table to avoid any potential risk of injury when loading the
patient.
WARNING! Do not allow patients or operations personnel to pull themselves up from a sitting
or lying position using the patient handles or any other part of the unit.
CAUTION! The Foot Control is an accessory to the system and must remain within the
system environment at all times.
CAUTION! Keep a minimum distance of 2 meters from the focal spot and x-ray beam when
operating or servicing x-ray equipment. Ensure the body is protected and do not
expose any parts of the body to the primary beam.
CAUTION! For scheduled departmental power tests, the main power should be turned off
until testing is complete.
CAUTION! Take care when handling the grid. Bending or dropping the grid will easily
damage it. A damaged grid may compromise image quality.
CAUTION! The technologist must ensure the proper technique is used for each procedure
so that the focal spot to skin distance is as large as possible. This ensures that
the absorbed dose to the patient is a as low as reasonably possible. In normal
use, the focal spot to skin distance should be greater than 45 cm.
CAUTION! The technologist is responsible for the safety of the patient and must ensure
the patient can communicate with the technologist when the x-ray is being
performed. The technologist should never leave the patient unattended while
the patient is in the x-ray room.
CAUTION! Crushing hazards may occur between the tabletop and the Detector Head.
NOTE: The appropriate use of grid or non-grid imaging standards should be consistent
with the established medical imaging standards in your institution.
NOTE: The technologist must adjust the position of the collimator so the cross hairs of
the collimator line up with the applicable anatomy being imaged. The center of
the cross hairs of the collimator is the centre of the x-ray source.
NOTE: All studies performed on the 1100 table must be performed using a Source to
Image Distance of 100 cm.
NOTE: The SID should be displayed on the equipment prior to loading or positioning
patient. The SID cannot differ by more than 5% from the value indicated on the
collimator, for normal use.
NOTE: The technologist can accurately set the x-ray beam using the knobs on the front
panel of the collimator depending on the SID chosen and the study being
performed. Carefully setting the beam will prevent the beam from falling outside
the boundary of the face plate. Careful collimation is important to ensure
acceptable dose/benefit balances is achieved.
NOTE: A list on the front of the collimator enables the technologist to determine, prior to
loading, the extent of x-ray fields for normal use. The dimensions for SID (cm)
indicate appropriate collimator settings.
NOTE: When the system is switched off, always wait at least 15 seconds before

NOTE: A list on the front of the collimator enables the technologist to determine, prior to
loading, the extent of x-ray fields for normal use. The dimensions for appropriate
SID are indicated with settings for collimator settings.
NOTE: The technologist can accurately set the x-ray beam using the knobs on the front
panel of the collimator. This x-ray beam required depending on the SID chosen
and the study being performed. Carefully setting the beam will prevent the beam
from falling outside the boundary of the face plate. Careful collimation is
important to ensure acceptable dose/benefit balances is achieved.
WARNING! Ensure the x-ray tube is placed into the appropriate working position with the
reference axis (x-ray beam) directed towards the reception area.
The EUREKA LINEAR MC150 Collimator contains two major sets of shutters, long
and cross, which define the absolute X-ray field size. There is also a fixed aperture cone
which protrudes into the port of the X-ray tube that helps reduce the effects of off-focus
radiation. See Figure 3-21.
Both shutter mechanisms are geared with anti-backlash mechanisms coupled though
shafts to SID indicator scales and knobs on the front panel. The shutters are positioned
manually with these knobs. Back-illuminated SID scales indicate all conventional film
sizes for both 100 cm and 180 cm SID's, as well as 40 inches and 72 inches in SIDs.
(Refer to Progeny Collimator manuals.)
All Eureka Linear Series collimators have a swivel mount configuration. Detents are
located at 90 degree increments. The collimator may be oriented to any position for
achieving proper X-ray field alignment for table-top or non-bucky operation.
The shutter mechanism has been precisely aligned with respect to the mounting flange at
the factory. Therefore, the necessity for field alignment of the central ray has been
virtually eliminated.
The Eureka Lamp times shuts off after approximately 25 seconds and may be reset at any
time. Quick turn-off features allows for limited lamp use. Light output> 160 LUX at 40
inches.
Figure 3-21
WARNING! The collimator should not be open beyond the Detector Head area of 43 x 43 cm
(17 x 17 in). The beam is not to extend past the face plate of the Detector Head.
The technologist must ensure the collimation beam is smaller than the imaging
area. See Figure 3-22.

Date formats in the Magellan 3 Application are configured differently depending on the
system settings. To avoid confusion when interpreting birth dates and scheduling information,
be aware of this format. For example, if the Day/Month/Year format is used, entering 30/07/01
means the patient was born on July 30, 2001. However if the date is entered as 01/07/30, it
means the patient was born on July 1, 1930.

The stitching tool allows two to four images to be combined into one new image. Points
selected on each image indicates how the images will be joined. When the images are stitched
and a new image is created, it is added to the study and displayed in the Thumbnail list.
NOTE: For best results, images should be acquired in the same order as they are going to be
stitched.

A Thumbnail list in the Image Stitcher displays the images to be stitched. The first two
images are displayed side-by-side in the main viewing area.
3. Before stitching two images, you can select the blending mode for stitching. The
blending mode is based on the value of a pixel in the image. A pixel is the smallest part
of a digitized or digital image. A complete image is made of a rectangular array of
pixels. A pixel will have a value from 0 and 4095. The options for blending modes are
as follows:
Average (Default) - Selects a pixel from each image and takes the average of the
pixels to create a new value.
Min - Selects a pixel from each image and chooses the minimum pixel value.
Random - Selects a pixel from each image and randomly chooses one of the pixel values.
Max - Selects a pixel from each image and chooses the maximum pixel value.
None - Chooses the pixel value from the second image selected.
To select a blending mode, select the mode from the Average drop-down list.
4. Select a point on each image to indicate where the two images will be joined. A green
square is displayed on each image at the selection point.

orientation can be either: A (anterior), P (posterior), R (right), L (left), H (head), F
(foot). If the system is configured with a DX modality, the correct patient orientation
must be inserted into the Patient Orientation fields. The Patient Orientation fields are as
follows:
Rows indicate the anatomical direction facing the right side of the image.
Columns indicate the anatomical direction facing the bottom of the image.
Up to three characters can be added to each field to describe the orientation of the
patient. See Figure 5-135 and Figure 5-136 for examples of Patient Orientation.
