WARNING!
This X-ray unit may be dangerous to patient and operator unless safe
exposure factors and operating instructions are observed.
The control panel has control buttons for the following functions:
System ON/OFF buttons
mAs +/- mAs selection and display.

In AEC mode (Automatic Exposure Control), the display
remains dark before exposure. After exposure, the mAs value reached
during radiography is indicated.
mAs / mGy
If the Dose Calculation option is enabled (refer to page 15), the dose
value is shown on the same display as the mAs value.
After an exposure, the mAs value and the dose value will toggle in the
display with a 2 second interval-time, starting with the mAs value. The
values will show until any button on the control panel is pressed. The
dose value is displayed in mGy (milli Gray) and represents the calculat-
ed absorbed glandular dose for the latest exposure.
kV +/- kV selection and display.

If the dose calculation option is enabled (refer to page 15), the kV
display shows the kV value at the same time as the mAs value is
shown on the mAs/mGy display. When the dose value is shown on
the mAs/mGy display, the kV display shows “---”.
+/- film density adjustment and display.

The display shows values between -24 and +24 (± 3 exposure points).
One step is equal to 1/8 exposure point, corresponding to a 3% differ-
ence in mAs (approximately 0.05 OD).

calculated value based on exposure and source table data. Some data can be
measured by the hospital’s medical physicist, see Calculated absorbed glandular dose
(page 72).
The Dose Calculation option must be enabled / disabled by a service technician.
Disabling the dose calculation option prevents dose values from being displayed on
the control panel. If the printer option is installed, and configured to show dose values,
they will still show on print.
Dose calculation is available in both Manual Mode and AEC Mode.

Maintenance
To ensure the safety of the patients, the operators, and third parties, the equipment
must be checked every 12 months to maintain its reliability and serviceability.
All parts of the unit which, if worn, may create a safety hazard, must be checked by
skilled personnel at regular intervals of at least 12 months, and replaced, if required.
This should be done by the Siemens customer service department within the frame-
work of maintenance.
If national rules or regulations specify more frequent checks and/or maintenance,
such regulations must be observed.
Checks, Test
Before using the equipment for examination, the user must make sure that all safety-
relevant devices function properly and that the unit is ready for operation. Special
attention must be given to checking the displays and pilot lights for proper operation
(visual check).

Projection Angle
The swivel-arm system is rotatable between +135° clockwise and -180° counterclock-
wise. The rotary motion is motorized and controlled by buttons located on either side
of the tube head, on the remote control (option for MAMMOMAT 1000) and on the
supporting arm for the swivel-arm system.
Desired oblique projection angle can be preset by means of the projection angle pre-
setting knob at the back of the tube head. The preset angle is displayed for approx.
3 s, after which the actual angle is displayed again.
The rotary motion of the swivel-arm system stops automatically at 0° and at the pre-
set angle (+ and -), provided the movement to be performed extends over at least 14°.
If necessary, the projection angle can be fine-adjusted by actuating the rotary motion
buttons again for desired adjustment. Thus, the presetting knob need not be readjust-
ed.
The angle of the swivel-arm system is shown on the display on the stand.
The rotation and also the height adjustment are always locked when a compression

Operation
Motorized Compression
Compression can be applied by motor. The compression plate is moved up or down
by pressing the corresponding foot switch.
MAM00045
Figure 39. Foot switches
The compression speed will automatically decrease when the compression plate
comes in contact with the breast and the compression force is more than 1 kg (2 lbs).
The compression force applied by motor can be preset to a value from 3 kg (7 lbs) to
20 kg (44 lbs). This value is set with the knob on the compression unit. If more com-
pression force is required, the knobs for manual compression must be used.
If the measured compression force exceeds 20 kg (44 lbs), this is indicated on the
stand display by flashing dashes.
NOTE!
NOTICE!
Always make sure to position the foot switches so that they cannot be
unintentionally actuated by either the patient or the operator.
Optimized Compression OPCOMP

The automatic "optimized compression" system OPCOMP® determines the proper
amount of compression force to be applied on the breast, based on individual breast
characteristics, to achieve optimum patient comfort and image quality.
Guidance for Proper Use of OPCOMP

Correct positioning is a must for OPCOMP.
44 Operator Manual
SPB7-230.201.08.06.02
Operation
Step-by-step Procedure
1. Set the object table at proper height and projection angle for each patient.
2. Position the breast on the object table and lower the compression plate to the
breast.
3. Precompress the breast to 2 – 4 kg. It is recommended that this precompres-
sion be carried out gradually by applying “pumping” technique on the foot
switch, in order to maintain correct positioning of the breast and to avoid skin
folds.
4. Perform optimized compression by pressing the foot switch again and keeping
it steadily pressed, until OPCOMP interrupts the compression and the green in-
dicator lamp (OC) on the stand display is lit, see section Stand Display.
Do not use pumping technique to perform optimized compression.
Important Notes on OPCOMP

• It is very important that you have confidence in OPCOMP, when learning
how to use it. Properly used, OPCOMP will give you consistent and correct
compression, exam after exam.
• Some breasts might need 20 kg for correct compression. If this is more than
your clinic would allow, you can always set a maximum compression force
with the compression force presetting knob (placed high on the compression
unit, see Figure 40.).
• The optimized compression shall be regarded as a recommendation to the
operator. Additional force up to the preset value can be applied by just press-
ing the foot switch again. If the preset maximum compression force is less
than the “optimized compression” value, the preset maximum force applies.
• Patients with implants, or patients who recently have had breast surgery,
must not be exposed to optimized compression.
Use instead the foot switch in the normal way, or the knobs for manual com-
pression, to adjust proper compression force on the breast.
• Manual compression does not activate OPCOMP.
• Do not use OPCOMP when the flexible compression plates, spot compres-
sion plates, magnification table or biopsy compression plates are used.

Operation
Error Indication
Operator errors are indicated by indicator lamps on the control panel. The indicator
lamps are described under Design and Function.
A malfunction detected by the system is indicated by “ER” followed by a three-digit
error code on the kV and the mAs displays on the control panel. This can be acknowl-
edged by the operator by pressing the limit button.
Limit errors are also cleared with the limit button.
If the error code remains after acknowledgement, or if the malfunction occurs fre-
quently, call service.
Temperature Monitoring
If the limit-button lamp flashes, this is an indication of that the tube temperature is
above normal. It is still possible to make exposures, however.
Should the temperature rise too high, error code “ER 802" will appear on the control
panel. Exposure release is now blocked.
Wait for the X-ray tube to cool down and then press the limit button. Should the error
code remain, the temperature is still too high. Wait another few minutes and press
the limit button again. When the error code disappears after acknowledgement, the
X-ray tube is ready for exposure again.

Attach the external diaphragm for special examinations (spot compression etc.) to the
holder on the underside of the tube head. The diaphragm is held in position by mag-
nets. For MAMMOMAT 1000 with Mo/Mo filter an external diaphragm is used for the
18x24 cm table and the magnification table and for spot mode, remove the external
diaphragm and change to external spot diaphragm.

SPB7-230.201.08.06.02
Operation
Magnification (Option)
A magnification table with a magnification factor of 1.8 or 1.5 is used. When the mag-
nification table is mounted, the system automatically responds by setting the magni-
fication technique, i.e. microfocus and 18x24 cm diaphragm are selected.
(MAMMOMAT 1000 with single filter requires an external diaphragm.)

Daily Checks
Before Examination
• Visually check all displays and indicator lamps on the control panel and the
stand.
Compression plates
Prior to each use, examine compression plates for excessive wear, particularly near
the chest wall. Do not use the compression plate if it is damaged.
Replace the compression plate when cracks or excessive wear are evident to ensure
proper functioning and to minimize possible risks to the patient.
Error Indication Lamps
Insert a cassette and check that the lamp goes out. Take the
MAM00284
cassette out and check that the lamp is lit. This lamp also lights
up immediately after an exposure to prevent two exposures on
the same film cassette. It is possible to disable this function via
the service PC. If disabled, this check shall be disregarded.
Remove and reinstall the object table and check that the error
indication lamp goes on and off respectively.
MAM00285
Turn the swivel-arm system 180°, so that the tube head is

straight upside down. Lower the system as close to the floor
as possible. Check that the error indication lamp is lit. Raise
and turn the swivel-arm system back again and check that the
lamp goes out.
• Check the motorized movements for smooth running and normal function.
• Check that the height adjustment and rotation of the swivel-arm system are
blocked, when the displayed compression force is ≥ 3 kg (7 lbs).
• Check the function of the Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) by making an
exposure of a phantom and checking the density of the film, after having per-
formed film processing quality control tests and checking that film process-
ing parameters are within control limits. Allow a system warm-up time of
approx. 5 minutes.
During Examination
• The radiation indicator lamp may light only when the exposure-release but-
tons are operated.
• Observe radiation protective measures.
52 Operator Manual
SPB7-230.201.08.06.02
Weekly Checks
• Install the 18x24 cm table and turn on the field light. Check that the light field
is approximately 18x24 cm and inside the borders of the table.
• Install the 24x30 table and turn on the field light. Check that the light field is
approximately 24x30 cm and inside the borders of the table. By MAMMO-
MAT 1000 with single filter the external collimator plate 18x24 must be
mounted for the 18x24 cm. Proceed like above.
Monthly Checks
• Check the emergency stop button for proper function. With the button de-
pressed, all motorized movements shall be blocked.
• Check the self-braking of the compression motor. Run the compression plate
against the object table, until the compression force applied is 15 kg (33 lbs).
After one minute, the value shall not have changed by more than 2 kg (4 lbs).
Annual Maintenance
To maintain the safety and reliability of the unit, maintenance must be performed ev-
ery 12 months. Should you not have concluded a maintenance contract, please advise
the SIEMENS customer service department. See also section Safety.
In case of malfunctions, turn off the power supply to the system and notify the
customer service department.

Protective Measures
Emergency Shutdown Switch
If an emergency shutdown switch is installed in the room, the following must be not-
ed:
• The emergency shutdown switch must be operated at once if there is a haz-
ard for the patient, the operators, or the equipment. Operation of the switch
immediately cuts off the power and terminates all unit movements.
• The switch may be released and the system put into operation again only if
the cause of danger has been clearly recognized and eliminated. In all other
cases, for example, if the equipment malfunctions, Siemens' customer ser-
vice must be notified.
Emergency Stop Button

If an equipment malfunction causes an emergency situation, which would involve a
hazard for the patient, the operator or for the equipment itself, press the red emer-
gency stop button on the unit.
All unit drives will be switched off and all movements will be interrupted. However, it
may still be possible to generate radiation.
Decompression must be carried out manually.
The button may be released (by turning it clockwise) only if the cause of danger has
been clearly recognized and eliminated.
Should the expected switch-off function not work, immediately press one of the
emergency shutdown switches (see above). This switch will then immediately dis-
connect the whole system.
In this case, the system must not be put into operation again. Customer service must
be notified.

Staff Safety
Although the MAMMOMAT complies with the manufacturing standards for medical
X-ray equipment, radiation protection is largely dependent on the behavior of the op-
erating personnel.
The following regulations should therefore be observed:
1. During exposure, the operator shall stand behind the radiation protection shield.
If exposure is to be released via a separate wallmounted or tablemounted con-
trol console, or via an exposure handle on extension cord (optional), adequate
radiation protection in form of additional radiation shields or radiation-proof win-
dow in adjacent room must be provided.
2. If the radiation protection shield is not used, the operator shall wear protective
clothing of 0.25 mm lead equivalent or stand in the low radiation area behind the
patient, at a distance of at least 1 m from the object under examination.
3. Wear a film badge or pen dosimeter for monitoring of the personal radiation ex-
posure.
Patient Safety
Before exposure is released, it is the operator's duty to check that the exposure pa-
rameters set on the control panel are the ones intended and that they have not
changed, while attending to the patient. Failure to do so might expose the patient to
unnecessary radiation.

SPB7-230.201.08.06.02
Protective Measures
The object table and the base plate together function as a beam stopper.
The face shield prevents the patient's head from coming into the beam path.

Checking the Automatic Exposure Control (AEC)

• Select a kV value.
• Activate AEC mode.
• Set the density to “+00”.
• Release the exposure.
The radiation-indicator lamp shall be lit for a very short time only (less than 0.15 s).
• Place a lead cover over the object table.
• Release an exposure with the same generator setting.
While the exposure-release buttons are depressed, the radiation-indicator lamp must
be lit until the exposure is interrupted by the automatic exposure control.
The acoustic signal is sounded and the limit lamp is lit.
• Press the limit button to switch off the limit lamp.

The unit must be switched off and disconnected from the power supply before it is
cleaned or disinfected, however when cleaning the parts which come into contact
with the patients during each exam, it is not necessary to turn off the system. These
parts are compression plates, object table, patient handles and face shield.
Cleaning
All parts of the unit which come in contact with the patient must be cleaned prior to
each examination.
Remove replaceable plastic tray of the stereo compression plate
Wipe the unit with a wet cloth or cotton pad. For moistening, use water or lukewarm,
diluted aqeous solution of household dishwashing liquid.
Do not use abrasive cleansers and organic solvents (because of incompatibility of ma-
terial) or cleaning agents containing solvents (e.g. benzine, stain remover)!
CAUTION!
Do not spray the unit! The cleaning fluid must under no circumstances
penetrate into the unit.
Attach replaceable plastic tray of the stereo compression plate
64 Operator Manual
SPB7-230.201.08.06.02
Disinfection
For surface disinfection, we recommend the use of isopropyl alcohol. Disinfectants
based on substituted phenols and compounds splitting of chlorine are somewhat
caustic and therefore, cannot be generally recommended.
As a general rule, no disinfectant sprays may be used, since the spray mist may pen-
etrate into the unit, which means that the safety of the unit can no longer be assured
(damage to electronic components, formation of inflammable air/solvent fumes mix-
tures).
WARNING!
As is known, some components of disinfectants are detrimental to
health. Their concentration in breathable air must not exceed a legally
determined limit. We recommend that the appropriate directions on
use issued by the manufacturers of these agents be strictly observed.
CAUTION!
Substances, such as anaesthetics and skin disinfectants, used during bi-
opsies can damage or discolour the plastic part of the compression
plates. Immediately wipe off with a wet cloth any of these substances
spilled on the compression plates.

Portable and mobile RF communications equip-

ment should be used no closer to any part of the
system, including cables, than the recommended
separation distance calculated from the equation
applicable to the frequency of the transmitter.
Recommended separation distance:

Conducted 3 Vrms 3 Vrms d = 1.2 P
RF disturbances 150 kHz to 80 MHz
IEC 61000-4-6
Radiated 3 V/m 3 V/m d = 1.2 P for 80 MHz to 800 MHz

RF disturbances 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz
IEC 61000-4-3 d = 2.3 P for 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz
Where P is the maximum output power rating of

the transmitter in watts (W) according to the
transmitter manufacturer and d is the recom-
mended separation distance in meters (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as
determined by an electromagnetic site survey, a
should be less than the compliance level in each
frequency range.b
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equip-
ment marked with the following symbol:
Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption
and reflection from structures, objects and people.
a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land
mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically
with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic
site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the system is used
exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the system should be observed to verify normal operation.
If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocat-
ing the system.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communica-

tions equipment and the system
The system is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated
RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the system can help pre-
vent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between por-
table and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the system as
recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communica-
tions equipment.
