Caution: Risk of data loss. Do not put any magnetic media near or
on devices that create any magnetic fields.
Caution: Do not use any hot source (like a heating pad) on the
image receptor.
2.5 Interlocks
The Selenia Dimensions has safety interlocks:
• C-arm vertical movement and rotation are disabled when compression force is
applied. A Service Engineer can configure the lockout force from 22 Newtons (5
pounds) to 45 Newtons (10 pounds).
• If the x-ray button is released before the end of the exposure, the exposure stops and
an alarm message shows.
• When in Tomo mode, the system does not let the Grid in the x-ray field
(Tomosynthesis option).
• Mirror and Filter interlocks prevent x rays when the Light Field Mirror or the Filter is
not aligned.
2.6 Compliance
This section describes the mammography system compliance requirements and the
responsibilities of the manufacturer.
Caution: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation
of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.

12. Carefully remove the Collimator Assembly and set it aside. Use care not to damage
the lead on the collimator blades.
13. Reverse the steps to install the replacements, noting the following: When mounting
the Mirror Assembly to the Beam Limit Bracket, it must be parallel to the bracket to
avoid binding or interference. Preload the mirror assembly up and then tighten the
four screws. During this process, use care not to damage the lead on the collimator
blades.
14. Using the Calibration Tool, perform the X-Ray and Light Field Alignment.
If the correct calibration instructions are not appearing, reset the THD module:
a. Go to the Advanced Form in CalTool.
b. Click the "THD" link in the "Nodes" list on the left side of the screen.
c. Click the "Module Reset" button in the pop-up window that appears.
d. Close the pop-up window.
When the module is finished resetting, the THD Status and State in the Nodes list
shows "Ready".
7.4.7.2 Preparation
1. Rotate the C-arm to zero degrees if it is not already at that position.
2. Lower the c-arm to a workable height so you will be able to work on the upper
portion of the tube head where the x-ray tube is installed and the lower portion where
the beam limiting assembly resides.
3. Remove the upper and lower tube head covers; see figure Top Tubehead Cover Removal
on page 91 and figure Bottom Tubehead Cover Removal on page 92 so you can gain access
to the x-ray tube and the beam limiting assembly
4. Remove the lower cover mounting bracket located in front of the beam limiting
assembly by removing the two cap head allen screws (See item 1 in the following
figure.)
5. Next, unplug the tube head display and remove the display assembly (See item 2 in
the following figure.)
Figure 60: Lower Cover Mounting Bracket Removal and Display Connection
6. Mark the location of the beam limiting assembly against the tube head cradle
assembly using a pencil (This will aid in alignment when reinstalling the beam
limiting assembly). Remove the 4 cap head allen screws that retain the beam limiting
assembly to the tube head (See item 3 in the previous figure).
7. Lower the Collimator and allow it to hang vertically as shown in item 1 in the
following figure.
9. Replace the lower template (TLS-00803) onto the breast platform and assure that the
locater pins (two on the front , one on the left, one on the right) associated with the
lower template are all mounted squarely to their respective edges of the breast
platform. Place the acrylic block (item 1 in the following figure) on top of the lower
alignment template.
3. Once the exposure has been acquired it should be visible on the monitor. The image is
oriented with the chest wall at the right hand side. An example of indications from
Vernier scales and direction is shown in the following figure (the image has been
rotated in the example). You will be not be able to rotate the image in Caltool.
• The direction indicator shows the tube is out or forward and to the right (#1 in the
previous figure).
• The direction indicator also shows the tube X axis is off by .08 to the right by less
than .11 (marker aligns between 7 and 9) —item 2 in the image above.
• The Y axis is out greater than .11 Y adjustment would be .04 + .10 = .14 inches
(marker between 0 and 1 is off the scale and marker aligns between 3 and 5)
—item 3 in the previous figure.
4. Make adjustments to the tube alignment using the X and Y (refer to figure Alignment
Adjustment Screws on page 114) axis adjustment screws so the tube alignment is less
than .11 inches and take new exposures to confirm tube locations. Readjust and
perform exposures as needed to get the markers to align at zero.
5. Once the Tube has been aligned, power off the gantry and lower the beam limiting
assembly by removing the 4 allen head screws.
6. Install the 2 front cap head screws and carefully tighten the tube head mounting bolts,
being careful not to move the tube.
7. Once the tube mounting bolts have been tightened, tighten the rear mounting strap.
8. Reposition the beam limiting assembly and secure it in place to the tube cradle.
9. Secure the bottom cover mounting bracket and plug the tube head display back in.
10. Power on the system and perform one last exposure to verify that the tube is aligned
properly after tightening the retention bolts and strap. The alignment should be less
than .11 inches in both the x and y direction, .11 inches is the maximum allowed and
calibration should exceed this specification and be aligned as best as possible to get
the markers to align at zero.
11. Remove the acrylic block from the breast platform and the upper and lower alignment
templates.
12. Reattach and secure the upper and lower tube head covers.
7.4.7.6 Calibration
7.5.1 Introduction

boards.
7. Look inside beam limit assembly and determine which version of the mirror assembly
is installed. See the following figure.
