x CH-200/CHU-200 Operation Manual

 Preface

Cautions on Environmental Conditions

Do NOT use the equipment in an oxygen-rich environment.

The use in an oxygen-rich environment may cause fatal or serious injuries or
damage to the equipment due to easy ignition.

Be sure to use the equipment under the following environmental

conditions:
The installation of a dedicated air-conditioner in the examination room is
recommended if the building air-conditioner cannot meet the necessary
environmental conditions.
"1.5 Environmental Conditions" P.8
Note also that there must be no sudden changes in temperature or humidity.
This causes condensation, which can lead to trouble.

Cautions on Radiography

Restrict all persons other than the patient from accessing the equipment
in accordance with local regulations.
To avoid unnecessary exposure, acceptable distances (maximum access
values) to the equipment by any person other than the patient are defined for
each region.

The equipment can be operated only by qualified personnel, such as

radiology technicians or those with equivalent qualifications.

CH-200/CHU-200 Operation Manual xi

Preface

No person but the patient is allowed to stay in the examination room

during X-ray irradiation.
If the equipment is not used correctly, the operator, the patient, and other
persons may receive a greater dose of radiation than necessary. If for some
reason another person has to be in the examination room, that person must
take adequate measures to protect themselves against radiation (protective
apron, screen, etc.).
* During radiography, the radiography indicator illuminates and the buzzer
sounds an audible warning.

Perform X-ray irradiation carefully and according to the doctor's

directions when using the equipment with expectant mothers, women
who suspect they are pregnant, lactating women, or children.
Particular ways of using the equipment may increase the scatter dose
absorbed into the patient, which may cause a radiation hazard.

Always check the X-ray exposure region using the collimator lamp.
Irradiating a patient with X-rays outside the required region risks exposure of
the patient to unnecessary radiation.

During X-ray irradiation, ensure that the X-rays irradiate the necessary
region only.
To avoid unnecessary exposure, narrow down the collimator and take
protection measures, such as wearing a protective apron.

xii CH-200/CHU-200 Operation Manual

 Preface

Do NOT place any unnecessary object in the location within the X-ray
exposure region.
Doing so may result in unnecessary radiation exposure to the patient.

Be sure to carry out a warm-up (running-in operation of the Xray tube

unit) before taking an X-ray radiograph.
Follow the warm-up procedure described in the X-ray high voltage generator
operation manual.

Perform the warm-up if an arc occurs.

Suddenly using the X-ray tube unit near the nominal X-ray tube voltage (above
100 kV) after using the unit at a relatively low tube voltage (80 kV max.) for a
prolonged period may result in arc. This arc occurs due to loss of the warm-up
effect at high tube voltage after the X-ray tube unit is used at a relatively low
tube voltage for a prolonged period.
In this case, warm-up the X-ray tube unit by referring to the procedure
described in the X-ray high voltage generator operation manual.

Do NOT perform unnecessary standby operations.

If standby status continues after the radiography preparation button is pressed,
wire disconnection or withstand voltage failure may result owing to the
evaporation of the X-ray tube filament.

CH-200/CHU-200 Operation Manual xiii

Preface

In order to minimize the radiation dose on the patient, make the distance
between the focus and the patient's body surface as long as possible
(Minimum 45 cm).
The shorter the distance becomes, the greater the amount of scatter dose
absorbed into the patient, which may cause a radiation hazard.

Pay extra attention when irradiating X-rays for a long time or repeatedly.
It may cause a radiation hazard.

Cautions on Cleaning and Disinfection

Be sure to turn the equipment power OFF before cleaning and

disinfecting the equipment.

adjusts the area of the irradiation field to match the cassette size.

Further, by operating the collimator while the cassette size is the maximum, the
irradiation field can be narrowed down to sizes smaller than that cassette size (in this
case too, [PBL] is displayed). Once the irradiation field has been narrowed down, if the
cassette size is then changed, for example by changing the cassette, the irradiation
field automatically adjusts to the newly selected cassette size.

6 Maintenance

If the proper maintenance has not been scheduled, the wire cable will wear
with use quickly, and be broken in some cases. In the case where the wire
cables were broken concurrently, it is concerned that severe incident may
occur. It is recommended that an engineer properly trained by the official
Shimadzu Group maintain the system.

Scheduled maintenance policy

• Inspect the condition of wire cables every 6 months after installation of the
system is highly recommended. In the case where worn of cables is found,
immediately replacement of cables is needed.

• In the case where notification on the display screen is indicated after

installation, inspection by authorized engineer for maintenance service is
needed.

• Even if the above alert is displayed, but no damage to the wire cables is
observed as a result of the inspection, continue use of the system is
possible, but 6month inspection is highly recommended.

When the wire rope reaches the replacement time, a pop-up window will
appear and display a message. The message will be repeatedly displayed until
the wire ropes are replaced.

Prepare some locking mechanism to keep a off status of Molded Case Circuit Breaker.
When replacing the part, service engineer isolates from the supply mains.

7.7 Information on Radiation

7.7.1 Deterministic Effect

Deterministic effects may occur when radiation dose on certain organs or body tissues
exceeds the threshold. The areas of interest of diagnostic radiology are the skin and
the crystalline lens. The threshold at which a deterministic effect occurs on these body
tissues is 1 Gy to 3 Gy.

The operator must control exposure dose properly in consideration of the above, when
using the equipment.
