4 SAFETY

4.1 General information

WARNING: The legally binding version of this document is the one in

Italian. The translations in other languages, even though
controlled and approved by the manufacturer, are supplied
only to help the operator, but they do not present the
necessary accuracy for juridical purposes.

WARNING: This X-ray unit may be dangerous for the patient and the
operator, if the safe exposure factors, operating instructions
and maintenance plans are not observed. Only authorized
personnel can operate the unit.

WARNING: Electric shock hazard. To avoid any possible electric sparks, do

not insert the fingers in the external connectors. Refer to
Figure 2 for more information on the position of the
connectors.

WARNING: It is important to know the unit to recognize any unusual

operation that may be dangerous. In case of unusual operation
or if any safety problem should arise, isolate the unit from
operation and do not use until the problem is solved by
qualified personnel.

ATTENZIONE: This device is connected to an earth protection during

operation. For the safety of the patient and of the operator,
next to this unit, use only devices with certificate compliant
with the proper safety standards for medical equipment and in
perfect operating conditions.

ATTENZIONE: THIS SYSTEM IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED BY A

DEFIBRILLATOR!
Never use a defibrillator on a patient in contact with a part of
the mobile X-ray unit. This system must be treated as a
conductive surface and positioned far away from a patient
before defibrillation. If any part of the equipment is in contact
with a patient when a defibrillator is being discharged, the
voltage may pass through the body of the patient and transfer
to the system. This may be dangerous for anybody in contact
with the system and may damage the unit itself. Always read
the instructions for use of any defibrillator used on a patient
exposed to X-rays with this digital mobile unit.

WARNING: THIS EQUIPMENT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE NEAR

FLAMMABLE GASES.

Technical Manual
DSQ 20BMI rev. 2 del: 16/06/2007 8 di 44
 Jolly 4

WARNING: If the mobile unit is used in a fixed station, the operator is

responsible for supplying the audio and video communication
between the operator and the patient.

WARNING: If you think there could be electromagnetic interferences that

may affect or are generated by the unit, ask for assistance.
Mobile RF communication equipment may change the medical
electric equipment.

4.2 Protection against radiations

This device emits ionizing radiations for medical purposes.

WARNING: Laws limit the operation of this device to doctors or

authorized people as per law.

The type of X-ray exposure produced with this unit can be divided into two categories:

professional, for operators

diagnostic, for patients subjected to an examination.

Comply with all the necessary safety requirements needed and comply with the national
regulations on protection against radiations, because radiations have harmful effects on the human
body.

While performing X-rays, there is always a dispersion of radiations; this means it is necessary to
provide for protection against these radiations. Before performing the examination, make sure
the doctor knows whether a patient is pregnant or not. If the patient must be assisted by
somebody, this person needs to wear the proper protection equipment.

It is possible to obtain a further protection against the dispersion of radiations, by using the
manual X-ray switch at a distance of 2 meters from the X-ray beams. The cable of the manual
switch is about 4 meters long when completely stretched out.

If the X-ray equipment is not used properly, it may cause injuries. Consequently, these
instructions must be carefully read before operating the equipment. The Manufacturer will be glad
to offer assistance and cooperate to start-up the equipment.

Even though this equipment offers a high level of protection against X-rays, besides the operating
beams, no operating measure can assure a complete protection. The operator shall be
responsible for taking all the necessary safety measures to prevent risks, personal and to others,
resulting from an incorrect or excessive exposure to radiations.

All the operators must receive proper training and take the appropriate safety measures to avoid
injuries.

The equipment is sold with the following condition: the Manufacturer, agents and representatives
cannot be held responsible for damages or injuries that could be caused by the incorrect use of
this equipment.

Technical Manual
DSQ 20BMI rev. 2 del: 16/06/2007 9 di 44
 Jolly 4

Various materials and personal protection equipment are available on the market. We highly
recommend using them.

WARNING: The X-ray beam can pass through the main protective shield.
Use X-ray cassettes or digital receivers with lead support. Do
not stand behind the receiver and/or in line with the X-ray
beam.

WARNING: The patient is the only person who has to be present in the
examination room during the X-ray exposure. According to
the cases, if another person needs to be in the room during
possible X-ray exposures, this person must wear a lead apron
in compliance with the safety practices in force.

WARNING: Use the biggest distance possible between the focus point and
the skin so that the patient absorbs the lowest dose possible.

WARNING: This X-ray unit may be dangerous for the patient and the
operator, if the exposure factors and the correct operating
instructions are not observed.

WARNING: Always use the appropriate X-ray protection on the patient

and operator while using X-ray equipment.

4.3 Electric safety

The user must use only qualified personnel (manufacturer’s specialized technicians or technicians
of an assistance service with equivalent training) for all electrical maintenance interventions on the
equipment.
The connections between the various parts of the device, calibration and tests must be
performed by the manufacturer’s qualified technicians.

WARNING: Only properly trained and qualified personnel can access the
internal parts of the unit or disassembled parts.

4.4 Environment
This symbol indicates that the waste resulting from electric and electronic equipment must not be

Control A:
Switch on the machine, press key 7 (see Figure 3 pag.12) and verify the operation of the light.
If the light does not work see the manufacturer’s manual.

Control B:

The collimator can rotate +/- 90° around the axis of the x-ray
beam. The collimator’s rotation travel is limited by a
mechanical stopper.
If the collimator does not rotate contact the dealer of the
machine,

Control C:
Verify that the collimator fixed to the monobloc does not move in other ways than those
foreseen. If so, work on the fastening nuts on the collimator (see collimator manual
Control D:
Verify that the light field matches the X-ray field following the instructions indicated on the
collimator manual.

11.3.1 Controls Part 2 (monobloc)

Control A:

The rotation of the monobloc group on the horizontal axis is ±180°

If the monobloc does not stay in the desired position work on the ring
nut (detail indicated by arrow) placed on the fork support to adjust the
friction.

Technical Manual
DSQ 20BMI rev. 2 del: 16/06/2007 29 di 44
 Jolly 4

The rotation of the monobloc group on the vertical axis is 0° ÷ +90°.

If the monobloc does not stay in the desired position work on the ring nut
(detail indicated by arrow) placed on the fork support to adjust the friction

Control B:
Verify that the handle does not move from its seat. If it moves tighten the nuts and the fastening
screws.

11.3.2 Controls part 3 (arm)

Control A:
Verify that the arms keeps the vertical position for the entire travel up to the maximum height
foreseen (2 meters).

If the arm does not keep the set vertical position, work
on the spring-balance group inside the column. After
removing the protection cover of the column, work on
the indicated nut to adjust the strength of the spring.
An effective adjustment procedure is when the arm is
steady at 90°.

minimum value (180Vcc). Verify the value of the line
resistance that could be too high (> 0,4 Ohm).
• L3 kV unbalance: indicates that the positive and negative
kV are unbalanced, or that one of the signals is missing.
Possible causes:
- interruption of a connection cable (see Layout
diagram)
- interruption inside the monobloc
In the second case it is necessary to contact the manufacturer.

MESSAGE CAUSE and SOLUTION

Cause: the converter or the active safety micros are not
powered
Action: Verify the fuses F1 e F2 mounted on the
Cap.Discharger board (par Electronics rack F07S04). Verify
that the leds L1 – L2 – L3 of the Logic Board are on before
the x-ray exposure.
If the leds are on:
• L1 overcurrent: indicates an overcurrent in the primary
of the monobloc;
Possible causes:
- mA too high, verify the adjustment of the , mA (see
par. 8.2 page 20)
- The led lights up even with low mA for high voltage
discharges inside the monobloc or in the X-ray tube.
Perform the monobloc formation procedure (see
par.10 pag.27). If outcome is negative contact
Signal 85% not available manufacturer.
• L2 overload: indicates an excess current load on the
exposure time.
Possible causes:
- mA too high, verify the adjustement of the mA (see
par. 8.2 pag. 20)
- Voltage alimentation of the power block below the
minimum value (180Vcc). Verify the value of the line
resistance that could be too high (> 0,4 Ohm).
• L3 kV unbalance: indicates that the positive and negative
kV are unbalanced, or that one of the signals is missing.
Possible causes:
- interruption of a connection cable (see Layout
diagram)
- interruption inside the monobloc
In the second case it is necessary to contact the
manufacturer.
Cause: due to strong interferences on the mains power or to
high voltage discharges inside the monobloc, the system could
have lost the configuration data
System not configured Action: re-configure the unit (see par. 7 page 17)
Perform the monobloc formation procedure (see par. 10 page
27). If outcome is negative contact manufacturer.
Cause: Stop signal of automatic x-ray exposure meter not
Stop X-ray AEC not available
present Action: Verify the connections between the AEC module and
AEC chamber.
