2.1. Maintenance safety measures

Before starting the maintenance operations it is strongly advised to carefully read the maintenance safety dispositions contained in the chapter 2.

9 All operations to do on the unit must be carried out when it is out of service.

The person who is responsible for the maintenance must completely disconnect the unit from power, before the adjustment or replacement of an equipment part.

9 Keep hands, feet, dresses, jewels and hair at safe distance in order to avoid their being caught in moving parts or part extensions.

9 Keep all parts in good condition and correctly installed. Repair damages immediately, replacing the consumed and broken parts.

Do not change any part of the unit; changes which are not authorized can compromise the equipment functioning and safety. They void the manufacturers guarantee as well.

In particular, it is not possible to make inoperative or replace devices and/or circuits which permit the radiations emission in accordance with the safety laws.

9 After the maintenance, it is necessary to check the correct mounting and

functioning of all electrical and mechanical devices before placing the unit back into service again.

The operators absolute attention is a safety essential element.


Page 14 / 44

2.2. General maintenance rules 9 The equipment maintenance must be done by the customer. 9 The manufacturer has no responsibility in the case of a unit faulty operation,

which can be caused by negligence or exclusion of the basic maintenance rules listed below.

The preventive maintenance must be exclusively done by qualified and authorized personnel.

Subject to agreement with our administration department, we are at full disposal to supply the necessary technical support. 9 A general check of the unit and its functioning conditions must be done at

intervals no longer then 12 months. More frequent controls (al least 6 months) must be done if the unit is subjected to heavy use or in case of restarting after a long stop.

9 Changes, up-dates and extraordinary maintenance must be done by the manufacturer or technical personnel authorized by them.

9 Every ordinary and extraordinary operation on the equipment must be supported by documents; these must be findable.

IMPORTANT!

It is compulsory for the installer to act so that equipment partsthat require checks and maintenance are easily open to inspection and readily available.

This aspect has been taken into great consideration by the manufacturer.

Maintenance and documentation duties must be observed; Anything contrary to the case releases the equipments manufacturer from all responsibilities.


Page 15 / 44

Every technical intervention must be recorded in the Maintenance Register (on the following pages) and in the special adhesive labels placed on the equipment.

2.2.1. Necessary tools. No kind of specific tool is necessary for the maintenance:

9 soft clothes for the cleaning; 9 detergent, which is found on sale; 9 white petroleum grease (for ex. Vaseline); 9 paint to touch up (issued with the unit) and soft brush; 9 paint thinner (for ex. NITRO); 9 series of fixed wrenches; 9 series of box wrenches; 9 series of hexagonal wrenches; 9 series of screwdrivers.

2.3. Maintenance

2.3.1. General checks The equipment includes mechanical and electrical parts, which need to be subjected regularly to checks and maintenance in order to guarantee a units efficient and enduring working. Here following it is shown the typology and the frequency of the main controls that must be regularly effected (as suggested by the manufacturer).

The user, this means the person who is responsible for the equipment, must ask for the technical support at the foreseen dates and hold all of the units documentation for quick referencethat means this manual and the operators manual.

The user must always address technical personnel for the equipment maintenance and repairingthese operations must never be done by the user.


Page 16 / 44

GENERAL CHECKS INTERVAL Cleaning of the ball bearings sliding guides 12 months Cleaning and lubrication of bearings and pins 12 months Check and regulation of the bearing functions and play 12 months Efficiency of the centering and alignment devices 12 months Tightening of the screwed parts 12 months Efficacy of the braking devices 12 months Efficiency of the control and signal devices 12 months Condition of sheaths and electrical cables 6 months

9 First remove all covers and clean carefully the equipment, using a damp cloth

and a common detergent that can be readily found.

Pay attention not to use abrasive products or substances which contain solvents, because they can damage the unit surface.

9 Check scrupulously if there are possible anomalies. 9 If the unit presents dents, repair them; in case of damaged painted surfaces,

touch them up using the paint issued by the manufacturer.

It is very important to repair as soon as possible the unit damages. In particular, remember that every scratch to the protection paint must be touched up with specific paints supplied by the producer; if this operation is well done, it avoids a dangerous oxidative phenomenon, which could compromise the efficiency and the resistance of the stand metal structure.

The unit painting is made using powder paint and baking in furnace. To touch up the unit, a small bottle containing some original powder is supplied; this must be dissolved through a drop of paint thinner (NITRO preferred) and applied by using a soft brush.

9 Grease bearing and pins, which can be reached.


Page 17 / 44

For the greasing use common universal grease, which is on sale.

DO NOT use oils or other lubricants, that could cause draw or dirty the unit or the working area.

9 Check the functioning backlash of bearings and of guiding and braking devices.

It is very important to check the slack of the ball bearings and, if necessary, effect their regulation following the instructions

written in the previous chapter.

9 Check the correct functioning of the control and braking devices as well. 9 Check the correct tightening of the nuts and bolts.

9 Check the correct functioning of the electrical parts as well, that means the

functioning of push buttons and brakes and the integrity of cables and safety devices.

If it is necessary to contact the manufacturer for technical problems or the equipment maintenance, it should be better to take note in advance of the unit serial number and test in order to quicken and focus the technical support intervention. This information can be easily obtained from the identification label, which is on the equipment.

2.3.2. Controls of telescope and suspension metal ropes Hanging from the ceiling, the telescopic stand needs a scrupulous maintenance of its hanging parts in order to avoid possible dangerous to operators and to guarantee the correct functioning of the unit as well.

The steel ropes controls must be planned following the table indications, that means every year.


Page 18 / 44

TELESCOPE CHECKS INTERVAL Condition of the steel ropes 12 months Condition of the ropes winding drums 12 months Condition of the ropes pulleys 12 months Efficiency of the main rope safety device 12 months Condition of the balancing springs 12 months PARTS TO REPLACE INTERVAL Steel ropes 5 years

This control must be done along all the length of the ropes, verifying that there are no signs of deflection or strand breakage. Moreover, verify that the ropes roll up correctly around the pulleys and their wear condition. It is also important to check the condition of the stainless steel safety rope and of the intervention device efficiency. This is composed by a Teflon roller, which is mounted on a compensator kept through a spring.

The ropes replacement must be done in accordance with the intervals, which are indicated on the equipment labels (see chapter 1 of this manual). The technical personnel that is responsible of controls, must always fill the label, writing the dateand sign it.

It is very important to carry out an accurate and scrupulous control, order to avoid dangerous situations for operators and patients. For eventual explanations apply to the manufacturer.

The breaking of the main rope is the consequence of missed periodical checks and maintenance; the telescopic stand, being suspended to the ceiling, requires very careful maintenance of the suspended parts in order to avoid potential dangers for the operators and to assure the correct functioning of the equipment itself.


Page 19 / 44

If any malfunctions are found during the check, it is necessary to immediately replace both the ropes (the one of work and the safety one) and check that also the pulleys and the winding lead nut do not show damages or tear and wear signs. In contrary case, it will be necessary to replace them too

It is possible to ask for spare parts or updating to the manufacturer. They are at full disposal for maintenance or extraordinary renovation interventions as well.

Contact the manufacturer to receive the instructions about the ropesand spare parts replacement.

If it is necessary to contact the manufacturer for technical problems the equipment maintenance, take note in advance of the units serianumber and test in order to quicken and focus the technical support intervention. This information can be easily obtained from the identification label, which is placed on the equipment.

Never use the ceiling stand after the safety device intervention.

DO NOT TRY TO FORCE THE RADIOGENIC TUBE TOWARDS THE BOTTOM WHEN THE MAIN ROPE IS BROKEN.

Immediately contact technical assistance and replace the broken rope.

2.3.3. Balancing springs control Control visually the wear condition of the stands balancing springs. If one of them shows wear signs or signs of failure, it is necessary to replace it. Drawing near the duration limits of the balancing springs of the telescope vertical movement, on their edges and surfaces the metal fatigue signs can be seen.

A spring breakage provokes a deficit of several kilograms of force in the telescope balancing system; the ceiling stand use

can go on only after replacement of the broken spring.


Page 20 / 44

The braking system is able to contrast an unbalancing of about 15 kg. This allows keeping the extension movement of the telescope stationary even in the case of a balancing spring breakage.

Howeverit is essential to immediately contact technical assistance and stop the use of the equipment until the system has been restored to its normal and optimal working conditions. This is to avoid damage to the unit and to avoid exposure of patients and users to needless risks.

The mounted springs are guaranteed for a minimum life. If one of them gets to this limit, it is strongly recommended to replace the complete set of springs because it is possible that the others are near the end of their working life also and possible failure.

Contact the manufacturer to receive the special instructions about the springs replacement procedures and spare parts replacement.

In order to help the technician in the replacement interval arrangement, on each spring spool a label with the installation week and year is placed.

This label must be changed when the old spring is replaced.

Check, several times, carefully and all along the telescope travel that:

9 springs wind regularly around their winding wheels; 9 the springs tension is uniform and the telescope movements are free; 9 the balancing system correctly works.


Page 21 / 44

2.4. Room disinfection and cleaning

The power supply must be disconnected before the cleaning.

Do not use water, to avoid corrosive phenomenon on the steel parts.

Useful information about it can be found in the Operator Manual.

Further information and advices can be read in manuals and instructions concerning disinfections and protections against explosions.

2.5. Equipment disassembly The disassembly of the equipment must be done by authorized and qualified personnel. The unit is quite totally made of metal materials, such as aluminum, steel and copper, and presents a minimum part of plastic material and electrical/electronic components. The metal parts can be recycled as scrap. The equipment contains some lead, which must not be dispersed in the environment. The electrical components and the plastic materials must be separately considered as special rubbish.

All materials used for the unit manufacture are not toxic or dangerous for the operators health; that means they can be used without any particular precaution.

The dismantling and recycling of the materials that constitute this specific equipment must be made in compliance to the local regulations set forth at the time of the operation.

For European nations, follow the directives established for the European Community.

The distributor of the equipment remains at disposal for furnishing advice and recommendations to carry out this operation.

Maintenance Frequency

Description of Preventative Maintenance

As governed by local regulations:

Check and recalibrate the DAP meter in the generator.

Every 6 Months AND whenever a related certifiable X-ray component is replaced:

1. Clean and re-grease all HV connections using vapour proof compound. 2. Clean the control console, remote fluoro control (if used) and main cabinet as

needed. REFER TO 6.5.0 CLEANING BEFORE PROCEEDING 3. Perform the X-ray tube auto calibration routine, refer to chapter 2. 4. Verify the calibration of the generator; refer to chapter 4 of this manual. 5. Test the X-ray tube thermal switch circuits in the generator. Disconnect the

tube thermal switch(s) and verify the correct error message, and that X-ray exposures are inhibited.

6. For fan cooled Indico 100 generators in particular, remove accumulated dust

from the cooling vents. Vacuuming is recommended. 7. For units with the AK (Air Kerma) option, verify the air kerma calibration per

chapter 3F. 8. Perform any additional tests required by laws governing this installation.

Every 12 months:

1. Examine the following for any visible damage and replace any damaged components:

The exterior of the control console and remote fluoro control if used, including the membrane switch assembly.

The cable between the control console and the generator main cabinet and between the remote fluoro control (if used) and generator main cabinet.

The hand switch and fluoro footswitch (if used) and the cables connecting these to the console.

2. Open the generator cabinet and examine the unit for any visible damage:

missing or loose ground connections, oil leaks, damaged cables etc. 3. Ensure that there are no obstructions blocking any of the ventilation holes or

louvers on the generator cabinet. Every 5 years:

Replace the lithium battery on the CPU board in the control console and on the generator CPU board in the main cabinet. Refer to the spares list in chapter 8 for the required part number. Refer to 6.8.0 for the battery replacement procedure.

6.4. Oil fill/level check (ht tank)

The insulating oil level in the HT tank does NOT require periodic checking under normal conditions. However, if there is evidence of possible oil loss, the procedure for checking the correct oil level follows.

1. Loosen the oil fill plug screw on the tank lid. 2. With the screw sufficiently loosened, remove the rubber (neoprene) plug. 3. Use a clean ruler, strip of cardboard, or other equivalent material to

determine the oil level -- measured always from the TOP surface of the HT tanks lid. Normally the oil level should be between 0.88 - 1.25 inches (22 - 32 mm)

from the top of the tank lid. If the oil level is between 1.25 - 1.6 inches (32 - 41 mm) from the top of

the tank lid, then clean oil should be added as needed. If the oil level is greater than 1.6 inches (41 mm) below the top of the

tank lid, please consult the factory.

Figure 6-1: HT tank oil level

4. Use only fresh oil, type Shell DIALA AX or equivalent. It is critical that air is

not added when topping up the oil. The following procedure is strongly recommended when adding oil. Use a new clean syringe to remove oil from the container. A 60 cc

catheter tip syringe is recommended. Approximately 60 cc of oil is required to raise the oil level by one millimeter.

Turn the syringe upright and expel any trapped air.


Page 34 / 44

Place the tip of the syringe through the oil-fill plug and into the oil, ensuring that it is below the surface of the oil.

Gently eject the oil from the syringe into the HT tank, while making sure that the tip of the syringe remains below the surface of the oil until all of the oil is emptied from the syringe.

Repeat the previous steps until the required amount of oil has been added.

5. Replace the oil fill plug. Once the plug is installed and the screw is properly

seated, continue to tighten the screw until the neoprene plug is firmly secured. Do not over tighten; the screw should mildly compress the neoprene plug when tight. Wipe up any oil spills. Dispose of soiled absorber in compliance with government requirements and ensure conformity to local disposal regulations. THE OIL DOES NOT CONTAIN PCBs.


Page 35 / 44

6.5. Cleaning

Never use anything other than soap and water to clean plastic surfaces. Other cleaners may damage the plastic.

Never use any corrosive, solvent or abrasive detergents or polishes. Ensure that no water or other liquid can enter any equipment. This precaution

prevents short circuits and corrosion forming on components. Methods of disinfection used must conform to legal regulations and guidelines

regarding disinfection and explosion protection. If disinfectants are used which form explosive mixtures of gases, these gases

must have dissipated before switching on the equipment again. Disinfection by spraying is not recommended because the disinfectant may

enter the X-ray equipment. If room disinfection is done with an atomizer, it is recommended that the

equipment be switched OFF, allowed to cool down and covered with a plastic sheet. When the disinfectant mist has subsided, the plastic sheet may be removed and the equipment be disinfected by wiping.

6.6. Eprom replacement / software upgrade

WARNING: PLEASE TAKE APPROPRIATE ELECTROSTATIC PRECAUTIONS AT ALL TIMES WHEN HANDLING THE EPROMs.

6.6.1. Console Software / EPROM 1. Console software for the 23 X 56 cm console and for the Rad-only console

6.8. Battery replacement

To replace the battery on the console CPU board or on the generator CPU board, follow the procedure below. Refer to the figure showing the location of these batteries in chapter 2, in the section CHECKING THE RAM BACKUP BATTERY VOLTAGE. Refer to that section in chapter 2 for console disassembly instructions to gain access to the console CPU board if required.

NOTE: THE CONSOLE BATTERY SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH THE GENERATOR POWERED UP. THIS WILL PREVENT THE CONSOLE DATA FROM BEING LOST WHEN THE BATTERIES ARE REMOVED. THIS IS THE ONLY EXCEPTION TO THE RULE OF NOT SERVICING THE GENERATOR WHILE THE POWER IS ON. FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE HIGH VOLTAGE LOCATIONS AND HAZARDS BEFORE REPLACING THIS BATTERY.

1. Remove the battery from the holder by gently prying under the battery at the access slot in the battery holder using a small screwdriver. Slide the battery over the edge of the holder and remove it when it is free.

2. Check the voltage of the new battery prior to inserting it. This should be

nominally 3.0V, do not use if it is under 2.80 V. 3. Wipe the replacement battery with a clean cloth, and ensure that the holder

is clean and free of debris before inserting the battery. 4. Gently lift the spring contact on the holder and insert the replacement

battery positive (+) side up

6.9. Tube conditioning / seasoning

Tube conditioning or seasoning is particularly important for new tubes or tubes that have not been used for several days. This should also be performed on each X-ray tube before attempting auto calibration, as an unseasoned tube may not operate properly at higher kV values without arcing. Refer to the X-ray tube manufacturers instructions, if available, for the tube conditioning or seasoning procedure. If the X-ray tube manufacturers instructions are not available, the following procedure may be used:


Page 41 / 44

6.9.1. Tube Conditioning (Overview) The generator does X-ray tube auto calibration at 50 kV, 60 kV, 70 kV, 80 kV, 100 kV and 120 kV. The tube normally needs to be seasoned before it can be operated at the higher voltages encountered during auto calibration. Tube seasoning is started by auto calibrating the kV stations up to and including part of the 70 kV station. The tube is then seasoned at 70 kV. Progressively higher kV stations are then auto calibrated and seasoned. Finally the entire kV and mA range is auto calibrated, then the tube is seasoned at the remaining high kV values. Manually releasing the exposure button during auto calibration of a particular kV station in the following procedure prevents the generator from attempting operation beyond that kV/mA value.

NOTE: THE TUBE MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED SEASONING PROCEDURE, IF AVAILABLE, MUST ALWAYS BE USED IN PLACE OF THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE.

NOTE: LOW SPEED ONLY EXPOSURES ARE RECOMMENDED FOR THE SEASONING EXPOSURES, TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE HEAT BUILD-UP IN THE HOUSING FROM THE STATOR WINDINGS OR THE ROTOR BEARINGS.

X-ray tubes that have not been used for more than 8 hours may suffer thermal shock if operated at high mA and kV without a warm-up procedure. A cold anode (Molybdenum) is very brittle and when suddenly heated over a small area may experience thermal cracking of the anode surface, eventually leading to permanent tube damage.

6.9.2. Tube Conditioning (Procedure) X-ray tube seasoning should be done on LARGE focus in order to minimize tube wear. The procedure below is intended for seasoning an X-ray tube prior to attempting tube auto calibration. To season a tube that does not need to be calibrated, simply follow steps 2, 4, 6, 8, and 9. 1. Start the tube auto calibration sequence, and manually terminate the

exposure at 70 kV and 250 mA.


Page 42 / 44

2. Season the tube at 70 kV by taking approximately 10 exposures of 200 mA

and 100 ms. These exposures should be taken at the rate of approximately one every 15 seconds.

3. Restart the auto calibration sequence and manually terminate the exposure

at 100 kV and 250 mA. 4. Season the tube at 100 kV by taking approximately 5 exposures of 200 mA


5. Restart the auto calibration sequence and manually terminate the exposure

at 120 kV and 160 mA. 6. Season the tube at 120 kV by taking approximately 5 exposures of 160 mA


7. Restart the auto calibration sequence and allow the auto calibration

sequence to complete. 8. Season the tube at 130 kV by taking approximately 5 exposures of 100 mA


9. Repeat step 8 at 140 kV, and then at 145 kV.
