1.2 UTILIZATION PURPOSES AND EQUIPMENT OPERATING LIFE
UTILIZATION

PURPOSES

Jolly Plus series is composed by four models depending on power:

- Jolly 4 Plus - fixed anode 4 kW

- Jolly 15 Plus - rotating anode 15 kW

- Jolly 16 Plus - rotating anode 16 kW

- Jolly 30 Plus - rotating anode 30 kW

Jolly Plus mobile equipment is suitable for many medical applications and is supposed to be used by qualified people only,
duly trained and informed about the risks deriving from Ionogenic radiations. This system is not included in the list of
devices requiring continuity of operation. This system does not come into contact with the patient, only some parts of the
device may accidentally touch the patient. The contact with the operator is contemplated during the equipment
operation. The contact with the patient is non-invasive. The contact with the operator is required for reasons depending
on the equipment utilization.
The equipment has been specifically designed for radiological examinations and diagnostic investigations carried out in
Hospitals and Medical Centers. It is suitable for operation in:

• Respiratory System investigations

• Skeleton investigations

• Sport Medicine

• Paediatrics Orthopaedics

• First-Aid Stations

• Plaster Room

• Operating Theatre

• Traumatology

EQUIPMENT LIFE

The average life of this equipment depends on the life of the X-ray tube installed in the monobloc. The compliance with
the instructions of this Manual will make it possible to get the maximum life duration of the X-ray tube. It is not always
possible to know in advance when the X-ray tube’s operation life is coming to an end. This component could even stop
operating during the examination of a patient.
For this reason it is recommended to check the focal spot yearly, in order to find if there is any degradation of the anode,
indicated by the increase of the focal spot dimension and consequent worse image resolution.

The main causes of early wear and damages to the X-ray tube are:

• Filament prolonged heating

• Discharges in the tube

• Tube over current

• Cold anode overcharge, caused by excessive loads after a long period of inactivity, with consequent cratering of the

track.

Here below how to limit untimely wear and damages to the monobloc:

1. The X-ray tube preheating cycle avoids the overheating since the tube reaches the operating temperature slowly.

IF A HIGH VALUES EXPOSURE IS STARTED WHEN THE X-RAY TUBE IS STILL COLD, THE ANODE COULD BE
IRREPARABLY DAMAGED

.

THE TUBE FORMATION PROCEDURE MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO REDUCE THE PROBABILITIES OF DISCHARGE

2. If a high values exposure is started when the device has not been used for a long time, the X-ray tube could be

irreparably damaged.

3. The X-ray tube overcharge is avoided by the software control on the preset kVp and mAs values. The system

prevents the exposure if these values exceed the maximum values provided for the X-ray tube.

4. Filament temperature preparation. It is recommended to effect the preparation only when the patient is positioned

for the examination.

JOLLY PLUS Series TECHNICAL MANUAL

IT IS NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND RADIATIONS PROTECTION STANDARDS OF EACH SINGLE
COUNTRY

• During the performance of diagnostic examinations scattered radiations are always present. For this reason it is

, SINCE THE RADIATIONS HAVE A HARMFUL EFFECT ON THE HUMAN BODY:

absolutely necessary to use an X-ray protection. The operator is supposed to inquire if the patient is pregnant.
Should the presence of a third person be required, this must also wear the anti-X protection, like the operator
and the patient.

• It is possible to have an additional protection against radiations if using a two-step push-button connected to the

control console by means of an extensible cable, featuring an extension of ~ 4 meters.

• The incorrect utilization of Jolly Plus equipment can cause temporary or permanent injuries.

• As a consequence, these instructions are to be carefully read and understood before putting the equipment at

work.

• The manufacturer is ready to provide the after-sale servicing and, if required, to take care of the installation.

• Even if this equipment gives a high level of protection against X-rays, no device can assure a complete

protection.

• It is the operator’s task to take all the safety measures required to avoid any personal and other people’s risk,

coming from a wrong or excessive exposure to Ionogenic radiations

• All the operators must receive a sufficient training and take the suitable safety measures to avoid any injury.

• The equipment is sold with the following clause: the manufacturer, its agents and representatives decline all

responsibility for any damage or injury deriving from the wrong utilization of this equipment or due to lack of
maintenance or to the utilization of not original spare parts.

• It is highly recommended to use all the different protection devices available on the market.

• The X-ray beam can go beyond the main protective shielding. Use radiographic cassettes or digital receptors with

leaded support.

• Do not stand behind the receptor or on the X-ray beam line.

• Only the patient can stay in the examination room during the X-ray exposure. If the operator or another person

presence is required, they must wear a leaded apron according to the safety rules

• Use the greatest possible distance between the focal spot and the skin to give the patient the minimum dose.

• Electrical safety: the buyer is supposed to use only qualified people (specialized engineers of the manufacturer or

equivalent personnel of a servicing company) to carry out any maintenance intervention on the equipment. The
connections among the different parts of the device, the calibration and the testing must be carried out by
qualified people, authorized by the manufacturer.

parts.

1.10 ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)

This electronic equipment complies with EMC 89/336 Directive, defining the maximum emission levels allowed for the
electronic equipment and the required immunity against electromagnetic field.
This however does not exclude that signals coming from transmitters, like mobile phones or similar mobile radio
transmitters, even if complying with EMC standards, can influence the correct operation of the Electro medical equipment
if used nearby and with a quite high transmitting power. It is therefore necessary to avoid using these radio transmitters
near electronically controlled medical systems, to exclude any interference.
The electronic unit complying with EMC standards has been designed to avoid any risk of malfunctioning caused by
electromagnetic interferences, when working in standard conditions. However, the radio signals coming from high
frequency transmitters at a quite high transmitting power, if used near the electronic equipment, may cause
electromagnetic incompatibility. Any transmission with mobile radio transmitter must be avoided.
The mobile phones must be off in the area near the unit. These rules must be complied with when the unit is working.

3.5 COLLIMATOR

OREWORD

F

Jolly Plus is supplied with a manual, square-field, single-layer, lightweight, compact X-ray collimator.
The X-ray field is defined by two pairs of lead-lined shutters located near the exit window of the X-ray beam and by a
cone (near the focus) limiting the X-ray beam to the larger field size.
The two pairs of shutters move perpendicularly in the X-ray field while the shutter movements are manually controlled by
two knobs available on the collimator front panel.
The X-ray collimator can be rotated ± 90° around its vertical axis, just gripping the handle. The collimator rotation travel
is stopped by a mechanical retainer.
Before making a radiographic exposure set the shutters in the correct position, using the X-ray field light beam on the
anatomic body part to be examined. Comply with the maximum admitted distance value between the monobloc and the
patient’s body.

ETTING THE X-RAY FIELD ON THE COLLIMATOR FRONT PANEL

S

• Press the X-ray field light beam lamp push- button (see part 1 on the picture below) to switch ON the halogen lamp.

The lamp automatically switches OFF after 30 seconds. To avoid the lamp overheating press again the lamp push
button after 5 minutes.

• Position the collimator /monobloc assembly above the patient.

• Check if the X-ray light beam crosses is centered on the patient’s area to be examined.

• Adjust the X-ray field size using the two knobs available on the front part of the X-ray collimator (see part 3 and part 4

on the picture below). The right knob adjusts the longitudinal shutters; the left one adjusts the transversal shutters.
The knobs make it possible to the operator to set the X-ray field according to the radiographic cassette size. The
collimator field size can vary from 0×0 cm minimum to 43×43 cm (17”x17”) maximum, at a focus film distance of 100
cm (40”).

• The scale under each knob indicates the longitudinal and transversal field size at 100 cm (40”) distance.

Check the FFD using the retractable tape measure.

4.1.1 X-RAY TUBE FORMATION

This procedure is required only when the Jolly Plus has not been not used continuously for 2 months after the installation
date or if the equipment has not been used continuously for more than 1 month in the Hospital department.
Forming the monobloc’s X-ray tube prevents it from damages.
The X-ray tube formation procedure consists in making radiographic exposures, according to below reported chart.
For each Jolly lus model all the radiographic exposures should be taken using only the X-ray tube large focus.
BMI suggest taking all the radiographic exposures closing the entire X-ray collimator leaded shutter.
The X-ray tube formation procedure will take approximately one hour.

THE IONOGENIC RADIATIONS PRODUCED BY THIS EQUIPMENT CAN BE DANGEROUS TO THE PATIENT AND THE OPERATOR. STRICTLY

4.1.2 X-RAY FIELD CENTERING

• Place a radiographic cassette size 35x43 cm (14”x17”) on a radiographic table or any horizontal plane surface.

• Position the monobloc/X-ray collimator assembly at 1 m distance above the cassette with the X-ray beam perpen-

dicular to it. The distance can be measured by means of the retractable meter mounted in the collimator.

Do not use the system indicators as reference, but measure the actual distance from the focus to the cassette surface.

• Center the cassette in the X-ray field using the collimator light.

The switching on key is available both on the unit console touch screen display and on the collimator front panel. See

picture A, detail 1.

• Mark the position of the cassette with adhesive tape so that it can be removed and placed again in the same position:

• Put a white paper on the cassette to get the luminous field greatest contrast.

• Open the collimator blades to get a 30x30 cm (14”x14”) field at 1 m distance, using the two knobs shown in

picture A, details 2a and 2B.

• Switch on the light field and use it to position 18 coins as illustrated in the following drawing.

• Position each pair of coins in such a way as they touch each other; the coin inside the luminous field must be

lighted as much as possible while the coin outside the luminous field must be lighted as little as possible. The
tangential points define the sides of the luminous field. The other two coins will be positioned one in a corner to
orientate the film and the other in the point of intersection of the diagonals, to define the film center.

Coin

• Preset approx. 50 kVp and 5 mAs on the unit console touch screen display

• Make a radiographic exposure and after developing the film, use the test to check the alignments described

below

ALIGNMENT OF THE COLLIMATOR WITH THE FOCAL POINT (PRIMARY BLADES CUT

• Observe the projections of the four collimator blades composing the radiographic field edge. If the edge is not well

)

defined, this means that the radiographic field is cut by the primary blade, near the focal spot, and not by the
external one. To modify this condition, use the security dowels displacing the collimator towards the side presenting a
not defined edge. After the correction, repeat the exposure to check the condition.

ALLIGNMENT OF THE LUMINOUS FIELD WITH THE RADIOGRAPHIC FIELD

(according to standard EN 60601-13 paragraph 29.202.9)

The max. allowed tolerance between the luminous and the radiographic field, in both sides, must not exceed 2% of the
FOCUS/FILM DISTANCE. In the case under consideration it would be less than 20 mm. If the test film shows the light
field congruence (indicated by the coins shadows) with the radiographic field (given by the collimator blades shadows)
within the diameter of a coin having a diameter smaller than 20 mm, the resulting alignment complies with the
standards.
As a matter of fact, it is possible to obtain a greater congruence degree. The max. Recommended deviation is one fourth.
It is very important to adjust the field in order to get the best possible congruence degree.
If the radiographic field, on the four sides, is not correct, check if the number of spacers is correct, that is, the
distance between the focal point and the collimator mounting surface must be 80mm (± 1 mm).
Should this distance require any adjustment, repeat the test exposure after the adjustment. Should the distance be
correct but anyhow requiring an adjustment, do not move the collimator with respect to the radiographic tube, but act as
follows: Position the test film on a white paper and put it on the cassette surface. Place the cassette in the position
previously marked. Check the film orientation using the coins shadows.

Using the collimator blades images as radiographic field shape and dimension reference, adjust the light field to get the
congruence with the radiographic field. Should a field adjustment be required, work on the transversal, vertical and
longitudinal displacement of the light field.

ALIGNMENT OF THE LUMINOUS FIELD WITH THE RADIOGRAPHIC FIELD

(According to standard EN 60601-1-3 par 29.202.9)

The max. allowed tolerance between the luminous and the radiographic field must not exceed 2% of the focus/film
distance. In this case it would be less than 20 mm. If the test film shows the luminous field congruence (indicated by the
coins shadows) with the radiographic field (given by the collimator blades shadow) within the diameter of a coin having a
diameter smaller than 20 mm, the resulting alignment complies with the standards. As a matter of fact it is possible to
get a much better congruence degree.
The max. Recommended deviation is one fourth. It is very important to adjust the field in order to get the best con­gruence degree. If the radiation field, on the four sides, is not correct, check if the number of spacers is correct, that is, if
the distance between the focal point and the collimator mounting surface is 80 mm, (± 1 mm). Should this distance
require any adjustment, repeat the test exposure after the adjustment. If the distance is correct but an adjustment is
required all the same, repeat the test exposure after adjustment.
If the distance is correct but an adjustment is however required, do not displace the collimator with respect to the
radiographic tube but proceed as follows:

• Position the test film on a white paper and put it on the cassette surface.

• Place the cassette in the previously marked position.

• Check the film orientation using the coins shadows.

• Using the collimator blades images as radiographic field shape and dimension reference, adjust the luminous field to

get it congruent to the radiographic field.

• If a field adjustment is required, work on the transversal, vertical and longitudinal displacement of the luminous field.
