manufacturer or by personnel expressly qualified and authorized by the manufacturer to do this. The
latter declines any responsibility for malfunction due to unauthorized interventions.
• If the System is to be used in combination with other pieces of apparatus, components or
modules whose compatibility is not certain, it is necessary to make sure that there is no danger for
either the patients or the operators. In case of need, please consult the manufacturer
• Like any other apparatus, the System must be used in an appropriate way.
• Furthermore, it requires periodic checks and maintenance according to what is specified in the
MAINTENANCE SECTION of this INSTRUCTION MANUAL

THE MANUFACTURER declines any responsibility for damage to persons and/or things caused by
! improper use of the same!

The user is always responsible for compliance with standards applicable to the installation and
! use of the equipment!

Page 13 on 124 MT 9B 50 002 Ø

2.2 DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY AND RESPONSIBILITY
The declaration of Product Conformity is always enclosed in the Instruction manual, indicating the model,
code and S/N, as regards the declaration of responsibility refer to the cover manual.

2.3 SAFETY DEVICES OF THE SYSTEM

2.3.1 MECHANICAL SAFETY DEVICES
• After having positioned the apparatus, put the parking brakes on.
• Only use the special handles to move the apparatus
• Avoid any impact against obstacles or other structures
• Do not remove the protective casing of the apparatus except for maintenance operations
expressly mentioned and described in this INSTRUCTION MANUAL or in the SERVICE MANUAL.

2.3.2 ELECTRICAL SAFETY DEVICES

• The System can only be used in places or medical rooms which conform with the applicable IEC
Standards.
• Make sure that the power supply socket to which the apparatus is connected is approved for the
voltage and current foreseen for use of the system.
• The apparatus must not be used in places where there is the risk of explosions
• Before proceeding with cleaning, disinfection and/or sterilization of the apparatus, disconnect the
system from the power supply network
• The cleaning and disinfection products for the system can form explosive gaseous mixtures. It is
obligatory to only use products which comply with the corresponding Regulations in force
• Be careful not to spill conductive liquids on the components of the system which, by penetrating
inside it, could jeopardize its function and safety
• Always turn the apparatus off after use.

2.3.3 CIRCUIT BREAKER

The system is protected by a power circuit breaker on the front of the equipment. If the switch
interne, is sufficient restore it to restart the system.

Any shot right after resetting the breaker may indicate bad operation. Immediately contact the
! technical service.

Page 14 on 124 MT 9B 50 002 Ø

2.4 PROTECTION AGAINST IONISING RADIATION

Before carrying out any x-ray exposure, make sure that all the necessary precautions
against radiation have been taken!

During emission of radiation, the personnel present in the x-ray room must follow the instructions in
force on the subject of protection against radiation. For this purpose, bear in mind the following rules:

• where necessary, use protective accessories against radiation in addition to the devices already
provided on the apparatus
• always use the special radio-protective gowns: a radio-protective material equivalent to 0.35 mm of
lead (0.35 mm Pb) attenuates 99.95% of the radiation produced at 50 kV and 94.5% of that
produced at 100 kV
• the best protection against radiation is distance: therefore always keep as far away as possible both
from the radiation source and from the object of the exposure, using the special remote
radiography control with extension cable;
• avoid moving within or staying in the direct beam of radiation
• always use the smallest exposure field possible: the radiation dispersed considerably depends on the
volume of the object radiated
• Use always the smallest field of exposure possible, appropriately closing the
collimator diaphragms. The radiation dispersed does, in fact, depend greatly on the
volume of the object radiated.

In no case must the safety circuits provided against accidental exposures be modified or
! de-activated.

2.5 RESIDUAL RISKS
The manufacturer produces advanced radiological systems in terms of safety and protection of the
environment. If the apparatus is used correctly, there are no risks for people or the environment.
With regard to the risks due to improper use of the apparatus, please see the prescriptions and
recommendations provided under the previous points. and it is underlined that:

 The MOBILE UNIT has been designed and constructed to avoid turning over up to an inclination
of 10° from horizontal in its transport position.
 It is therefore advisable:
 not to remain, move or place the Apparatus on surfaces with an inclination of more than
10°.
 not to try to move the Apparatus without working on the special handle for “releasing the
brakes”;
 pay attention, during movement of the UNIT, to any obstacles on the floor (cables, steps
and differences in level of any kind)

For the Residual Risks due to any defect in the protection measures used, remember that:
 Protection against electric shocks is made by connecting the metal parts of the apparatus to
earth: it is therefore necessary to periodically check correct operation of the whole earthing circuit
- according to the ORDINARY MAINTENANCE PROGRAMME described in SECTION 4 of this manual.

Not respecting the unit alarms could lead to overheating of the

! X-RAY MONOBLOCK: this overload could result in loss, by the MONOBLOCK itself, of the
insulating medium at very high temperatures.

During movements of the apparatus, take care that the parts do not hit the patient or the
! operator.

Avoid excessively fast movements: the kinetic energy accumulated could

! be a hazard for personnel close to the unit.

2.6.3 ACOUSTIC SIGNALS
Here is the list of the most important acoustic signals

3 BEEP Exposure has taken place correctly

1 BEEP The X-ray pushbutton has been released before completion of the exposure - the
exposure has therefore been interrupted

2.7 ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)

According to the foreseen use, this electronic apparatus conforms with the 2004/108/EC Directive,
which defines the maximum permitted emission levels for electronic apparatus and immunity from
electromagnetic fields.
In any case, it is not possible to absolutely exclude the possibility that radio signals coming
from transmitters, such as mobile phones or similar mobile radio systems, themselves conforming
to the EMC standard, may influence correct operation of the electro medical apparatus if they
are used near the systems and have a relatively high transmission power. Consequently the
use of this type of radio apparatus in the immediate vicinity of medical systems controlled
electronically must be avoided, to eliminate any risk of interference.
EXPLANATION
Electronic apparatus which satisfies the EMC standard is designed so that, under normal
conditions, there is no risk of electromagnetic interference. However, in the case where radio
signals coming from high frequency transmitters with a relatively high transmission power are
used near the electronic apparatus, the risk of electromagnetic incompatibility cannot be
totally kept under control.

WARNING!
All types of transmission with mobile radio apparatus must be avoided.
Mobile telephones must be turned off in rooms near the apparatus.
These rules must be applied when the unit is active.

 3.4 BASIC OPERATION

3.4.1 Starting Up and Logging in to the System

NOTE: Steps below only for reference. Steps may be changed according to your system
configuration.

To start up the system and prepare for acquiring patient images,

Steps：

1. Before power up the host system, please powers up the X-ray generator, detector
and all the other x-ray system components needed.
2. Make sure that the peripheral X-ray system components are on and working
properly.
3. Power up the Host PC and login the PC’s operating system

4. Log in to the DROC application.

The DROC HOST PC should be powered down once a day to ensure a complete
system reset. IF NOT, system performance deteriorates.

The Detector should be powered up at least half an hour before

intended use. If it is used sooner than half an hour after being powered
up, image quality may be affected.
The following subsections provide specific instructions for each of those steps:

Step 1: Powering up the X-ray generator, detector, etc

Please refer to the related instructions from corresponding manufacturers.

Step2: Checking the System

Once the X-ray generator is powered on, perform the following checks:

 Remove any patient supports or other objects so that they do not interfere with the
movement of the X-ray tube's suspension arm.
 Switch on the collimator’s light to ensure that the area to be exposed to the X-ray
beam is illuminated
Page 27 on 124 MT 9B 50 002 Ø
  Check the releases, if applicable, on the X-ray tube's suspension arm, the Bucky, and the
table to ensure that the controls are operating properly.

You can now power up DROC.

Step3: Powering Up the Host PC

Power up the HOST PC and Log in to the PC's operating system;; if the monitor is not on,
press the power button on the monitor.

NOTE: Before you power on the DROC HOST PC, make sure the detector have completed their

3.4.2 Capturing Images

Overview for Capturing Images

The general workflow to acquire and send images to output devices involves the following
steps.

Steps:

1. Identifying the patient and Study;

2. Taking an exposure;

3. Viewing and accepting the image; Optionally, you can reject the image and re-capture
till an acceptable image is acquired;

4. After all images captured, the data will be transmitted to the default node.
Alternatively, users can send the images to other node or print the images;

5. Closing the patient/Study;

The following subsections provide specific instructions for each of those steps.

Step 1: Identifying the Patient and Study

Before capturing images, you must identify the patient with whom they are to be
associated. Proper identification ensures that the image data is associated with the correct
patient information.

Depending on the system configuration at your site, there are three ways to identify the
patient from whom you want to acquire images, as described below.

Page 30 on 124 MT 9B 50 002 Ø

 Figure 3: Local window

All systems allow you to add/identify patients manually. Whether you are to acquire
images of a new patient or an existing one, you can add/identify manually by:

 Creating a new patient record in the local database.

 Selecting a patient from those previously created and stored in the worklist database.
For more information about how to manually specify the patient, refer to the following
topic “Creating a New Patient Locally”.

If your system supports HIS Worklist queries, you can retrieve patient information from a
Radiology Information System (RIS). Refer to the following topic “Query and Refresh” for more
information.

Page 31 on 124 MT 9B 50 002 Ø

 If your system supports bar code scanning, you can use the bar code scanner to read the
patient ID or some other unique identifying number. If the ID is found in worklist (if this
feature is available) or in the local DROC patient database, the corresponding patient’s
study will be opened. If the ID is not found, you must enter that patient manually.

The patient/study list in the Worklist window is shown as below:

Figure 4: Worklist status bar

There are three status of the patient/study:

SCHEDULED: A new patient/study with no image captured;

IN PROGRESS: An existing patient/study has image/images being captured;
COMPLETED: An existing patient/study with all the images captured.

You can capture images for the patient/study of SCHEDULED or IN PROGRESS status； even can
super-add images to a COMPLETED status patient/study as long as it still existing in the Local
database.

NOTE: As soon as the patient has been accomplished, it will be stored as PPACS data.
Meanwhile, the completed studies will still being stored in Worklist table for a certain
period after exposure, it depends on the Space Reclamation Strategy and individual
configuration. Users can pick up the patient still in the Worklist table and proceed on
capturing images. A Study existing in the PPACS database could not being superadded
images any more.

Creating a New Patient Locally

NOTE: Make sure you enter patient names and IDs correctly. Incorrect entries can cause
duplicate patient records for the same patient. As a result it will be more difficult to find
the patient in future search operations.

To add a new patient without a barcode, fill the information in New Patient page on
Worklist window.

The New Patient page is displayed below. Please note that, for your site, the fields in this
window may be different.
Page 32 on 124 MT 9B 50 002 Ø

Adding a View to a Procedure (Optional)

Figure 18 : Add Protocol

If you need to capture extra view image, you could add views to current procedure. Refer to

previous topic “Creating a New Patient Locally”

Taking an Exposure

While taking an exposure behind the leaded wall, you must maintain
verbal communication with the patient and keep the patient within your
sight at all times.

If the X-ray tube heat index exceeds the maximum allowable limit, the X-
ray tube and generator will be disabled until the heat index drop to the
safe level. If this condition occurs, a message will be displayed and an
audible beep will sound.
Steps:

1. Check the detector state in Detector Status area. It shows three colors corresponding to
three detector states: green indicates “ready to exposure”, yellow indicates “preparing
for exposure”, red indicates “on exposure”. If the indicator turns into yellow, please
wait until it turns to green.

Figure 19: Detector Status—Ready to exposure

Figure 20: Detector Status— Preparing for exposure

Figure 21: Detector Status—On exposure

2. Optionally, to get higher quality image, you have to give the patient instructions, such as
to hold breath or do not move.

Page 45 on 124 MT 9B 50 002 Ø

3. Press the Prep/Expose button to the first (prepare) position and hold till you hear a
beep from the generator which signifies ready. After that, press the button to the end.
Approximately a half to several seconds (the time interval depends on the characteristic
of the detector) will be cost during the whole process of exposure. At the time the
exposure starts, you will hear a sound.

4. After the tone stops, release the button.

5. Optionally, give the patient appropriate instructions to finish a circle of examination.

When the exposure is completed, the Preview window pops up and the raw captured image

displays in it. It will close automatically after several seconds. For more details of the other

buttons in Exam window, please refer to “Section C Additional Operations”

NOTES: Releasing the Prep/Expose button on the hand-switch before exposure beep will
cease the exposure process without any problem.
If there is any error occurs during the exposure, the Message Field under the
Exposure Status button will display the warning or error message.
If it is just a warning, the message disappears automatically after several
seconds.
If it is not an auto recoverable error, the message will remain. Click the Reset
button before performing subsequent exposure.

Figure 22: Reset button

NOTE: The UI in at your site may not show the Reset button after its installation. Please refer to

 Clicking on the drop-down list in the ESA panel and choosing a different setting.

 Pressing and holding the right button, and moving the mouse on image preview area,

the LUT is changed. Vertical movement changes window width of LUT, and horizontal

movement changes window level of LUT.

 Adjusting the image’s LUT settings by placing the pointer on the three rectangle handles

of the curve, pressing and holding the left mouse button, and dragging the handle.

 ESA setting changes or LUT adjustments are typically not needed. For more information

about making LUT adjustments, refer to the topic “Changing the ESA Setting or Adjusting

the LUT” in Section C.

Cropping an Image
You can crop an image in order to cut the background and only save the area with useful

information. The cropping applies only to the image when it is sent to a DICOM printer or a

storage device. In DROC Configure page, the default crop size is set for each procedure.

When previewing image, the initial crop rectangular is positioned according to this size. If

DROC is capable of controlling the collimator’s movement, the collimator will receive the

position parameters from DROC and sets its field to the specified size before image taking;

Page 48 on 124 MT 9B 50 002 Ø

 otherwise you have to do it manually. Furthermore, if DROC could be notified of the new

position of collimator adjustment manually, the size of crop rectangle will be updated

according to the new collimator field.

For more information, refer to the topic "Cropping an Image" in section C.

Adding Comments to an Image

You can add text comments to an image at the time of acquisition; the comment will be sent to

the DICOM devices which are chosen as output destination. There are already three

default comments provided for you to choose.

For more information, refer to the sub-topic “Adding Comments to an Image” of topic

“Working with Acquired Images” in Section C.

Selecting ESA or SymphonyTM (Optional)

For more information, refer to the sub-topic “Selecting ESA or SymphonyTM” of topic “Working

will delete rejected images when it reclaims disk space.

Page 52 on 124 MT 9B 50 002 Ø

Step 4: Outputting Images manually (optional)

After captured, the images will be sent to default destinations or printers automatically. But
you can still re-send the images to different destinations or resend images from Output
window.

There are two types of output destinations: archive server for storage and printer for
printing. These two destinations (may contain zero or multiple nodes) can be configured for
all images belong to the same procedure. Furthermore, the film orientation, size and format
can be configured for each different procedure. When an exam is opened, these
configurations are loaded automatically. You can also change them manually for current
Study.

For more information, please refer ''Managing the Images": Working with Worklist Studies.

Step 5: Closing the Study/Patient

You can quit the Exam window to perform other operations, no matter whether all the

images are captured or not.

To quit the Exam window, click the button in Next Step area.

 If all of the images in the current study has being acquired, the status of this Study will

become Completed in Worklist window;

 Otherwise, the status will become In Progress in Worklist window.

You can pick up the incomplete Study from the Worklist window to proceed with the

exposures whenever you like.

NOTES: The fact that a Study is incomplete does not prevent the patient record and associated
images from being deleted which is part of the system's storage space reclamation
process. For more information about the reclamation, and how to protect a patient
record and associated images from being deleted, refer to "System Adjustment".
When Study is closed and no new patient is selected, the detector will perform offset
calibration; if no Study is opened for a period of time, the detector enters “sleep” mode
to save energy. To make detector could enter “sleep” mode when system is idle, don’t
leave a Study opened for a long time without taking exposure.

3.4.4 Power Off the System

Typically, you should leave the system components on. The DROC HOST PC, monitor, and
Detector are able to enter an energy-saving "sleep" mode1 when they are not used for a
period of time.

Recommended Power off Procedure Overview

To power off the system, it is recommended that you perform the power off tasks in the
following sequence,

Steps:

1. Shut down the DROC HOST PC.

Firstly close all the applications running in PC; then from the Start Menu, choose
“Turn off the computer”→“Turn off”.

2. Power off the X-ray generator.

Powering off the X-ray generator also typically DOES power off the other X-ray
system components, such as X-ray tube, tube suspension arm, collimator, Bucky,
and table (if applicable).

The DROC HOST PC should be shut down once a day to ensure a

complete system reset. If this is not done, system
performance maydeteriorate.

3.5.2 Adjusting Technique Settings

In the Exam window, the Technique Settings panel is shown as below:

Figure 11: Technique Settings panel

From the Technique Settings panel you can:

 Adjust exposure settings manually.

 Adjust exposure settings using AEC (Automatic Exposure Control); this includes selecting
one or more AEC fields, and adjusting default density settings.

 Select a focal spot size.

 Select a patient size setting.

Page 63 on 124 MT 9B 50 002 Ø

 Check the status of the Generator & Detector.

Each of these controls is described in detail in the following sections.

Selecting the Patient Body Type

To select a body type, click on the icon for the required type—Large, Medium, Small, and
Pediatric. The selected button will be pushed down

Figure 12: Patient Size

Adjusting kV

The range of kV is confined by the generator.

Figure 13: kV setting

To adjust the kV value, click on the Increase KV button and Decrease KV button located to
the right of the kV value field. The kV value increases and decreases in steps of 1 kV.
Pressing and holding the button causes displayed kV value to increase or decrease
automatically until the button is released. If the kV value reaches maximum or minimum,
the value will remain unchanged.

Changing AEC Settings

The Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) system monitors X-radiation dosage which is passing
through ion chambers and automatically terminates the exposure after the X-radiation
dosage reaches a predetermined amount of radiation.

NOTE: The default density (0) is calibrated for normal contrast and density levels. Larger,
heavily muscled patients will require an increase in density. Smaller, lightly muscled
patients will require a decrease in density. However, only use this density adjustment if
the image is grainy. If an image is too dark or light, adjust the ESA settings (refer to the

Page 64 on 124 MT 9B 50 002 Ø

 followed topic "Changing the ESA Settings of an Acquired Image"); do not adjust AEC.

Typically you use the AEC and detector field default settings. You can override them under
special circumstances (for example, the patient has only one lung).

Figure 14: AEC Settings

NOTE: When using the AEC function, the patient must be positioned over the enabled AEC
field and the radiation field must be larger than the AEC field. In cases the preferred
radiation field is smaller than the AEC field, manual techniques are recommended.

You can select AEC detector fields in each ion chamber individually or in any combination.
You can vary the density setting between +4 and -4 (0 is neutral).

To change the density setting, click on the Increase Density button or Decrease Density button
located to the right of Density value field, as shown above. For the increases or decreases
amplitude of each time, please refer to the Service Manual of Generator.

Adjusting Exposure timing using MAS setting

You can manually specify exposure timing by setting the mAs value (shown below). With mAs
button selected, the exposure is terminated when the specified mAs value is reached.
To specify the exposure by mAs, ensure the mAs button in the Exposure Control panel is
selected, then click on the Increase mAs button or Decrease mAs button located to the right
of MAS value field to set the desired value. The value changes by one unit each time.

Page 65 on 124 MT 9B 50 002 Ø

Pressing and holding the button causes the value to increase or decrease automatically
untilthe button is released. If the value reaches maximum or minimum, the value will remain
unchanged.

Figure 15: MAS Setting

With the mAs button selected, the TIME controls are dimmed. Since the TIME settings and
MAS setting are dependent to each other.

Adjusting Exposure timing using TIME settings

You can manually specify exposure timing by setting the mA and the ms value. When using the
TIME settings (shown below), the exposure is terminated when the specified time value is
reached. This mode is used when a specific time must be achieved, such as in a
breathing study or for stop motion. Regarding the reciprocal grid’s requirement on exposure
window, the ms value should be guaranteed above 50 when the system employs reciprocal
grid.

To specify the exposure by Time setting, make sure the Time button in the Exposure Control
panel is selected (shown below), then click on the Increase mA/ms button or Decrease
mA/ms button to set the desired values. The value increases and decreases in steps of one unit.
Pressing and holding the button causes the value to increase or decrease automatically until the
button is released. If the value reaches maximum or minimum, the value will remain unchanged.

With the Time button selected, the mAs controls are dimmed. Since the TIME settings and
mAs setting are dependent to each other. Changing mA/ms values causes the mAs value
changes.

3.6 MANAGING THE IMAGE
3.6.1 Overview

Besides viewing image at the time of taking exposures, you can retrieve any captured
images from the Work window for sending, reprinting, reviewing or doing other operations.

You can resend images to the output destinations (for example, film printers or display
workstations) that are originally selected at the time of initialization, or to other output
destinations. For more information, refer to the following topic “Resending Images to
Output Devices”

NOTE: Images are not stored infinitely. To ensure that there is always sufficient room to store
newly acquired images, the system deletes the oldest images as needed to reclaim
storage space. However, you can protect specific patient images so that they will not be
deleted. Refer to the following topic “Protecting a Study along with the Associated
Images”.

Patient images are stored in the DROC PC temporarily, until storage space begins to get low.
The system deletes the oldest patient records and images to reclaim storage space for new
one.

When the system begins to do space reclamation depends on the configuration of PPACS. You
can set a minimum threshold for local hard disk space. When the space of the directory
for image storage is lower than this threshold value, the system begins reclamation. The
threshold value is recommended to be set as the maximum image volume of all patients
in one day at least. For example, the maximum patient flow in one day is 100.For each patient
creates 2 images on average, one image’s size is 16M, so the threshold should be 16*100 *2 =
3200M or higher.

You can protect patient related images from being deleted during this reclamation process. You
might need to do this if you may want to resend images to output devices in future.

NOTES: You should reject an image if it exhibits any edge cut-off due to collimation or
misalignment or if there is any artifact from debris or obstructions. Due to the
diverse characteristic of detector, it is necessary for your system to acquire
calibration images in different doses: high, medium, low. And for each dose,
accumulate several images to gain an approximately normal value. You should
follow the instruction strictly during the entire calibration procedure.

5. Take an exposure. The Calibration window with the flat field image displays.

3.8.1 Overview

DROC offers a flexible and versatile system for printing image on film or paper, includes
printing capabilities that go well beyond those of most other Windows applications. This
chapter covers how you can print series and studies in Print/Output window using a wide
range of layouts, how you can copy and paste images in the same film or between films, as
well as how to create your own layouts for printing.

Printing is done in the background and will no tie up your system, so you can continue
viewing and reporting while your print jobs are running.

DROC lets you combine various images on “virtual film sheets” which you can then print out.
