System Delivery

Delivery is defined as the process of moving purchased equipment to a

customers’ site and into the scan room. The preferred delivery method is via a
loading dock, but will include these other methods:
• Ground deliveries
• Lifting
• Up Stairways
• Construction sites

Tilt-Bed Truck Deliveries

The delivery driver is reasonable for the delivery, including ordering the
appropriate size tilt-bed truck. Document and escalate if any components are
dropped during the delivery process.

Notice: Engineering notification and approval is required these

procedures:

Lifting
Gantry shipping crate is required for all vertical and horizontal lifting. The
Project Manager of Installation should contact the OPSI Manager and
have the system crated for delivery.

Riggers
Professional riggers are required for all deliveries that require lifting,
tilting or hoisting. The use of lift trucks on uncrated gantries is prohibited.
Lifting should never be done using the blue dollies.

Page 14 of 52
Direction no. 5308107-1EN Rev 1
Transportation Warning
The gantry is designed for use with shipping dollies during a move. Do not lift or
move the gantry using a lift truck.

International Shipments
Dollies must be used to remove the gantry from the shipping skid, and to
transport the gantry to the customer’s site.
Refer to the PIM for the dolly set part number.

Extreme Weather Delivery

If condensation appears on the delivered equipment, allow at least 12 hours for
the equipment’s temperature to stabilize before installation.

There should be no visible liquids present on or around any of the equipment.

Gantry Bearing Inspection

• A gantry bearing gap inspection is required whenever the gantry is moved.
• It should be completed as soon as possible. Refer to Book 1 of the
appropriate installation manual for instructions.

Construction Sites
Site must meet these requirements for the installation to start.
• Radiology suite and surrounding areas must be occupancy ready.
• Finished walls, ceiling & floors, doors and millwork installed.
• If there is active construction work in the surrounding area a fixed
barrier shall be in place that limits traffic through the area. Seal off the
finished area.
• Construction site B-Cat added to order
• Shall have dust abatement precautions present at all entrances.
• Construction site package removal will be done in the scan room
• “Construction site” message will be listed on notice to proceed
• Mover may be required

Must meet all general site ready requirements

Construction Site Packaging:

1. Packaging that effectively keep out construction site debris including
both course and fine particles.
2. Packaging allows for normal delivery.
3. Protective packaging should not be damaged during delivery
transportation, on site storage or during on site transit.
4. Construction site debris must be able to be vacuumed from the
packaging before unpacking.

Page 15 of 52
Direction no. 5308107-1EN Rev 1
Drilling the Anchor Holes
Important: Before drilling the first gantry anchor hole make sure the appropriate
hospital personnel approve the location of the table/gantry. (Review Figure 6
prior to drilling.)

1. Anchor the front left corner of the gantry (Location #1).

If something in the floor, such as the position of reinforcement rods in
the concrete, interferes with this anchor hole position, shift the gantry
(and templates) to another location.

2. Drill one hole perpendicular to the floor. 1/2 in. (13 mm) in diameter and
4-3/8 in. (110 mm) deep at the location shown on the gantry template.
The remaining three (3) holes will be drilled with the gantry in position
and used as a guide.

Important: While one person drills the hole, position a second person to watch
the relationship between the drill bit and floor. Make sure the bit remains
absolutely perpendicular to the floor throughout the drilling operation. GE
suggests using a mechanical guide.

Stop drilling every 15 or 20 seconds and clear the hole of debris. This helps to
prevent binding of the drill bit.

Anchoring Warning
On all systems the floor level must meet the levelness specification.

If the floor does not meet the levelness specification, follow these instructions:
1. When finished all adjusters (table and gantry) must have at least 1
full tread showing above the lock nut to be acceptable.
Note: Some tables may not have lock nuts. In this
case, at least 1 full tread must be showing to be
acceptable.
2. Do not use shims to level the table or gantry
3. Must have the minimum number of anchors installed at the minimum
depth (3” 75mm)
7 with a HP table
8 with a GT table
If the above steps cannot be met, follow your installation escalation procedure
to have the table anchored.

 Preparing to Level the Gantry
• Remove the gantry shipping bolts.
• Remove front right adjuster locking ring, which will allow the alignment bar to
seat properly.
• Locate the adjuster tool from the alignment kit.
• Locate a 1/2 in. ratchet and 1-1/4 in. socket.
• Use a pry bar may when leveling the gantry. Lifting a corner will aid in the
adjustment process.

 Bubble Levels on Gantry Base
Two bubble levels are located on both ends of the gantry stationary base, near a
point where the rotating structure pivots mount to the base.

The bubble levels are used to determine when the stationary base is level. The
gantry is properly leveled when the bubble is centered. The correct bubble
position is shown in Figure 13.

Figure 12: Bubble within the Margin of Error

Figure 13: Bubble in Correct and Incorrect Position

Page 19 of 52
Direction no. 5308107-1EN Rev 1
Procedure for Leveling a Gantry Base
1. Level the left side from front to back by turning Adjusters #1 and #2.
2. Level the right side from front to back by turning Adjusters #3 and #4.
3. Level the side (right or left) that is higher with respect to the other. Turn both
adjusters on a side equally until that side is level. It easier to lower an adjuster
(turn it out) because of the gantry’s weight.

Figure 14: Gantry Base Adjuster Locations (Top View)

Leveling Pads on Gantry Base

When the bubble levels are centered (shown on left in Figure 13), each of the
four leveling pads should carry an equal portion of the gantry weight. Distribution
of the gantry weight prevents the base frame from rocking during normal
operation.

CAUTION: Do not leave any adjuster unloaded or floating.

Correct level is 100% of bubble positioned within the inner small circle.
Incorrect level is less than 100% of bubble positioned within the small circle. (See
Figure 13.)

Page 20 of 52
Direction no. 5308107-1EN Rev 1
 Removing Table Panels (GT Table)
Remove the circled screws (shown in Figure 16) to remove panels (shown in
Figure 15) when drilling table anchor holes.

Notes:
Panels are attached with ground straps. Position panels so that they do not fall
during this process. Reconnect when alignment and anchoring process is
completed.

The NP table used on the BrightSpeed Select System does not have removable
tableside panels. Adjusters are accessed from the front or rear of the table.

Direction no. 5308107-1EN Rev 1
 Leveling the Table
(RT4, Pro16 and HP60 Systems)
• Systematically level Locations A, B and C by turning each adjuster
equally.
• Use Location D for fine-tuning only.
• When final leveling is completed, screw down Adjusters 5 and 6 until
each rests tightly against the floor.

Direction no. 5308107-1EN Rev 1
BrightSpeed Select NP Table Levelers

BrightSpeed Select table leveler adjusters are different from the HP and GT table
levelers. The BrightSpeed Select adjusters require a No. 1 Phillips or 3/8 in. center
punch to turn the adjusters. All other tables use the standard leveler adjuster tool to
make the height adjustments.

CAUTION: The BrightSpeed Select adjusters are located in areas difficult to access.

Alternate Method of Aligning Table and Gantry
Section 3.6 of the appropriate installation manual describes an alternate method
for aligning the table and gantry. You should use and follow this procedure if the
alignment bars are not properly calibrated.
To perform the procedure, the anchor bolts must not be tightened. Once the
procedure is completed, the anchor bolts can be torqued to 55 ±5 ft-lb (75 ±6 Nm)
and the base covers installed.

Summary of Alignment Process

1. Using a bubble level, precisely place the tube/collimator at the three o’clock position. (See the
illustration below and refer to the appropriate installation manual for details.)

2. Remove the cradle shipping bolt, and unlatch the cradle.

3. Center the cradle on the drive assembly by pushing the cradle to its maximum position inside the
gantry.

4. Move the cradle back a few inches until the black dot on the top side of the cradle is inside the
gantry opening, and measure distance A using a ruler. Record this measurement as Black Dot A
on the worksheet located in the appropriate installation manual.

5. Move the cradle to its fullest extension inside the gantry, and measure distance A again. Record
this distance as Full Extension A on the worksheet.

6. Rotate the tube/collimator to the nine o’clock position and repeat the measurements, and record
them as Black Dot B and Full Extension B.

7. Perform the equation in the SPEC column to determine if the table needs to be moved. The
table/gantry are in alignment when both measurements meet the spec in the table. If the table is
out of spec, adjust the table and repeat the measurement process.

Measure Distance (Alignment Goals)

1. Table must be perpendicular to the scan plane throughout the scan

range.
2. Complete the gantry base-to-table perpendicular measurement.
3. Check the table cradle's perpendicular measurement from the
minimum to maximum scan range.
4. Check the cradle to collimator side-to-side measurement.

Drilling Safety
Cover all electronic assemblies in the table base to prevent damage due to the
dust created while drilling.

• Only use a shop vacuum equipped with a HEPA or drywall dust filter.
• Place the drill bushing inside each adjuster to keep the hole vertical
and centered in the adjuster.
• Use the drill bushing to center the anchor holes in adjuster Location
#5 to provide maximum lateral alignment capacity when centering
the cradle
iso-center during subsequent system testing.
• Avoid injuring yourself on the gantry cover brackets.
• Avoid the actuator motor lead when drilling Location #7. Remove the
lead if necessary.

BrightSpeed Select uses a different drill bushing than the one shipped with the
system. Do NOT use a 1/2 in. drill bit with these anchors.

Be sure to follow the instructions in the appropriate installation manual when

setting the torque.

CAUTION: Do not over torque the table anchors, or table structural

damage can occur.

 Gantry/Table Alternative Anchor Holes
• Use the alternative anchor holes when there is structural interference with
one of the regular adjuster anchor holes.
• Gantry requires a minimum of four anchors, one in each corner.
• Table requires a minimum of three anchors, one each at Locations 5, 6
and 7.
• Gantry covers will need to be removed (See Appendix A in the
appropriate installation manual.)

Note: The NP table is used for BrightSpeed Select only. BrightSpeed Select NP
anchors are not through the adjusters, but in different locations on the table base.
On all other systems the anchor is drilled through the adjuster.

It is the purchaser's responsibility to provide an approved support structure and mounting
method for all floor types other than those listed. General Electric Healthcare is not
responsible for any failure of the support structure or method of anchoring, including seismic
requirements and/or through-bolting.

Note: GE is not responsible for anchoring methods other than those listed in the appropriate
pre-installation manual.

Provided floor anchors are designed for use ONLY on concrete floors that meet the 4-inch
concrete floor requirements. All other anchoring methods (on floor types other than the 4-
inch concrete minimum) must be installed and determined to meet the stated GE minimum
load requirements by the customer's structural contractor at the customer's expense.

Note: If the installers cannot set at least four anchors for the GT1700 or GT2000 table and
gantry, the installer must inform the customer that the minimum anchoring cannot be met,
and a structural engineering contractor is required to determine the anchoring method, install
the anchors, and certify that their anchoring meets the stated GE minimum load requirement
and torque specifications.

Seismic Mounting
The Seismic Kit is P/N R4390JC. A seismic kit is also available for the SCSI Tower. If
seismic anchoring is required for your installation, the contractor will provide a detailed set of
seismic prints. Follow these instructions to complete these tasks.
