3. Begin PM Form
1. At the top of the COMPACT 7600 Periodic Maintenance Form check whether you are
performing a Semi-Annual or Annual PM.
2. Completely fill in the customer information block, including the System Serial Number and the
Field Service Report (FSR) Number.
NOTE: Test equipment used must have current calibration dates. Do not use test equipment with
expired calibration stickers.
3. While performing the Periodic Maintenance procedures log all test equipment used in the Test
Equipment Used block of the Periodic Maintenance Form. Make sure to include the
manufacturer, model number, serial number, and calibration due date on all Test Equipment.
4. Complete Sections 1 through 4 and 6 through 8 when performing a Semi-Annual PM. Complete
all Sections when performing an Annual PM. Circle Pass or Fail on the PM Form as each test
section is completed. Fill in actual measured values where indicated on the PM Form.

4. Functional Checks
4.1 Mechanical Checks
In the steps below, check for ease of movement without excessive play.
1. Check the Locking Pedals of the system for proper operation. Lock the system in place by
pressing the locking pedals down completely.
2. Check the Wig Wag movement of the system from side to side. Verify proper operation of the
wig wag lock.
3. Check the Cross Arm movement of the system. Verify proper operation of the cross arm lock.
4. Check the Flip Flop movement of the system and integrity of the Pivot Point. Check proper
action of the pivot lock.
5. Check the Radial Movement of the system and verify there is adequate resistance to stop the
C-arm when the brake is applied.
6. Check the Steering Handle of the C-arm for proper operation.

4.2 Inspect Drag Cable

1. Verify that the drag cable is touching the floor.
2. Verify that the cable is securely attached, ensuring the mechanical/electrical connection and
ground continuity.

4.3 Inspect Signal Cables

1. Inspect the signal cable assemblies for damage and signs of abrasion.

4.4 Inspect/Adjust System Power Supply Voltages

WARNING Electrical circuits inside the equipment use voltages that are capable of causing serious
injury or death from electrical shock. Use appropriate precautions.
1. The power supplies for the system are located in a perforated metal enclosure on the left side of
the generator cabinet. There are two separate power supplies in the enclosure.
2. Locate the output voltage wire bundle coming from the top power supply (NG1). This wire
bundle exits the enclosure on the left side and has a 15-pin connector on the end of the bundle.
The 15-pin connector is designated as P1. Measure the voltages listed below and record them on
the PM Form.
GND To Adjust Voltage Tolerance
P1-2 P1-5 Not Adjustable +5V ±0.5V
P1-2 P1-4 Not Adjustable +24V ±1V
P1-2 P1-1 R39 +16V ±1V
P1-11 P1-10 Not Adjustable +16V ±1V
P1-11 P1-13 Not Adjustable +5V ±0.5V

3. Locate the output voltage wire bundle coming from the bottom power supply (NG2). This wire
bundle exits the enclosure on the left side and has a 9-pin connector on the end of the bundle.
The 9-pin connector is designated as P2. Measure the voltages listed below and record them on
the PM Form.
GND To Adjust Voltage Tolerance
P2-2 P2-1 R39 +5V ±0.5V
P2-2 P2-4 Not Adjustable +12V ±1V
P2-2 P2-5 Not Adjustable -12V ±1V

4.5 Measure Line Voltage Regulation

1. Measure the AC line voltage at the wall receptacle.
NOTE: In the next step the voltage measured at the wall receptacle will drop immediately after the
exposure is terminated. Read the meter at this time.
2. Measure the line voltage at the wall receptacle again while making a radiographic exposure (80
mAs @ 110 kVp).
3. Calculate the percentage line voltage regulation using the following formula and record the
results on the Installation Report/Checklist.
Vn - V1
100 X
V1
where:Vn = No load voltage
Vl = Max load voltage

4. If the results above do not fall within the range of 0 to 8 percent, the hospital should be informed
that an in-house wiring problem exists. (This problem results in a violation of a provision of the
Federal Performance Standards 21 CFR 1020.30)

4.6 Perform System Functional Test

WARNING: Steps within this procedure produces X-rays. Use appropriate precautions.
NOTE: Use the illustration below as a reference when performing the Operational Verification.

1. Press the C-up and C-down buttons and verify that the c-arm lifts smoothly from
top to bottom limits.

2. Press the Auto Fluoro button repeatedly and verify that the LED turns on and off. With
Auto Fluoro active (LED on) press the x-ray button and verify that the kV and mA automatically
servo by monitoring the kV and mA display. Verify that an image appears on the monitor. Verify
that the mA display shows the mA value while x-rays are being taken.

3. Press the Pulse Fluoro button repeatedly and verify that the LED turns on and off. With
Pulse Fluoro active (LED on) press the x-ray button and verify that the system produces pulsed
x-rays and that an image appears on the monitor.

4. Press the Snapshot button repeatedly and verify that the LED turns on and off. With
Snapshot active (LED on) press the x-ray button and verify that an exposure is taken and then
automatically terminates. The image should remain on the monitor until the next exposure is
taken.

5. Press the Auto Fluoro button and then the kV button and verify that both LED’s
illuminate. Press the kV-up/down button and verify that the kV can be changed from 36 to
110kV.

6. Press the Film button repeatedly and verify that LED turns on and off. With Film active
(LED on) press the Film Timer-up/down button and verify that you can select a time from 0.1
sec. to 4 sec. as shown on the seconds display. Take a number of film shots at various kV and
mAs settings to verify film mode operation.

7. While taking x-rays in the Auto Fluoro mode press the slot collimator open and close buttons

and verify that the collimator opens and closes.

8. While taking x-rays in the Auto Fluoro mode press the slot collimator rotate buttons

and verify that the collimator rotates in both directions.

9. While taking x-rays in the Auto Fluoro mode press the iris collimator open and close buttons

and verify that the iris opens and closes.

10.Press the Magnification button repeatedly and verify that the LED turns on and off. With
Magnification active (LED on) verify that the iris collimator sizes down and the image on the
monitor changes to the small field mode when x-rays are taken.

11.Press the Image Reversal button repeatedly and verify that the LED turns on and off.
With Image Reversal active (LED on) verify the image reveres horizontally when x-rays are
taken.

12.Press the Image Rotation buttons and verify that the image on the monitor rotates
in both directions. Press both keys simultaneously and verify that the image rotates to the normal
orientation and automatically stops.

13.Press the Thorax Surgery button repeatedly and verify that the LED turns on and off.
With Thorax Surgery active (LED on) take an x-ray and verify that a live image appears on the
monitor.

14.Press the Hand Surgery button repeatedly and verify that the LED turns on and off. With
Hand Surgery active (LED on) take an x-ray and verify that the field size automatically decreases
because the iris collimator closes partially.
15.Place lead aprons on the image intensifier to attenuate the beam. Press the Hip Surgery button

repeatedly and verify that the LED turns on and off. With Hip Surgery active (LED on)
take an x-ray and verify that the mA increases to a maximum of 6mA.

16.Obtain an image on the monitor and press the Save button . Verify that the image is saved
by noting the image storage number which will appear on the monitor.
