Responsibility of Purchaser
2.1 Customer Room Prep Items
The CT air intake is near the bottom of the gantry. Fine dust as listed below will be deposited
throughout the gantry, table, console and PDU electronics. This fine dust cannot be completely
removed and can be damaging to electronic components.
For these reasons, the scanner should be the last item installed in your CT suite area.
“Pre-installation” is work necessary to plan and prepare a site for installation of equipment.
Pre-installation work helps the user (customer) avoid:
• Application delay and scheduling
• Surprise siting discoveries
• Installation confusion
• Waste of manpower
The following MUST be completed before installation work can begin for a GE CT scanner:
• Completely finished:
- Wall painted or have final wall covering
- Ceiling tiles installed and no remaining ceiling work is required
- Final floors covering installed with no remaining dust causing floor work required
- All room millwork installed as shown on the site print
- All plumbing work in the CT suite is completed
- No construction in or around the scan suite AREA that will produce:
* Concrete dust
* Drywall dust
* Ceiling tile dust
* Wood sawdust or shaving
* Dust tracked into the CT suite area
• Active Broad Band connection
- A completed network connection is required for ALL CT installations.
- A GE Healthcare network specialist may be required to complete the VPN connection.
This may take a week or longer to schedule.
• Power available to A1, with provision for Lockout/Tagout at the A1 disconnect
If a UPS is required, a GE A1 breaker* will be needed to complete this installation. Refer
to the electrical section for more details.
NOTICE SERVICE NOTICE: An improperly prepared site (i.e., one that is in a state of construction)
can result in increased installation time.
A CT scanner installed in a dirty environment is more prone to contamination, which can
result in decreased reliability and increased scanner downtime.

broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic
environment due to fixed RF transmitters, and electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the System is used exceeds
the applicable RF compliance level above, the System should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such
as re-orienting or relocation the System.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the separation distance can
be estimated using the equation in the corresponding column, where P is the maximum output
power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected
by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.
4.3.1 Limitations Management :
Adhering to the distance separation recommended in Table 1-10, between 150kHz & 2.5GHz, will
reduce disturbances recorded at the image level but may not eliminate all disturbances. However,
when installed and operated as specified herein, the system will maintain its essential performance
by continuing to acquire, display, and store diagnostic quality images safely.
(*) For example, a 1W mobile phone (800MHz to 2.5GHz carrier frequency) shall be put 2.3 meters
apart from the BrightSpeed System (in order to avoid image interference risks).
4.4 Use Limitation :
4.4.1 External components
The use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than those specified may result in degraded
ELECTROMATHNETIC COMPATIBILITY of the BrightSpeed System .

The BrightSpeed System is predominantly intended for use, in non-domestic environments, and not
directly connected to the Public Mains Network. The BrightSpeed System is predominantly intended
for use (e.g. in hospitals) with a dedicated supply system, and with a X-ray shielded room. In case
of using in a domestic environment (e.g. doctor’s offices), in order to avoid interferences, it is
recommended to use a separated AC power distribution panel & line with a X-ray shielded room.
4.5.3 Subsystem & Accessories Power Supply Distribution
All components, accessories subsystems, systems which are electrically connected to the
BrightSpeed System, must have all AC power supplied by the same power distribution panel & line.
4.5.4 Stacked Components & Equipment
The BrightSpeed System should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment; if
adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the BrightSpeed System should be observed in order to verify
normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
4.5.5 Low Frequency Magnetic Field
In case of a digital BrightSpeed System, the Gantry (digital detector) shall be apart 1meter from the
generator cabinet, and 1meter apart from the analog (CRT) monitors. These distance specifications
will minimize the low frequency magnetic field interference risk.
4.5.6 Static Magnetic Field Limits
In order to avoid interference on the BrightSpeed system, static field limits from the surrounding
environment are specified.
Static field is specified less than <1 Gauss in Examination room, and in the Control Area.
4.5.7 Electrostatic Discharge Environment & Recommendations
In order to reduce electrostatic discharge interference, install a charge dissipative floor material to
avoid electrostatic charge buildup.
The relative humidity shall be at least 30 percent.
The dissipative material shall be connected to the system ground reference, if applicable.

Review
The BrightSpeed Series systems use adjustable leveling pads to support the gantry and table. The
gantry has four (4) primary leveling pads. The table has five (5) pads used for leveling it.
Using the GE print to establish the room layout, make sure all the operating and service clearances
shown on the print are observed. Using the template (P/N 5160024/5341997) shipped with the
system, locate the anchor holes. Make sure they clear structural interferences in the floor.
Clean the area. Free the mounting surface of any material that may interfere with the positioning
and leveling of the system.
1.) Lay out the 2 floor templates.
2.) Start with the Gantry template—align per the GE print.
3.) Place the table template over the top of the Gantry template. Align the scan and table centerlines and secure the templates to the floor. Make sure there are no potential clearance issues.
4.) Check the level of the floor (See Figure 2-1) across the templates. This should be measured
on the template over the table/gantry area, as shown in Figure 2-1 below.
FLOOR LEVELNESS SPECIFICATION: 6 mm (1/4 in.) over 3 m (10 ft.)
Note: Tiles (or other resilient flooring) around all holes will be cut during the installation process.

Cable length is an important consideration in room layout. A set of short cables (B71172CA) and a
set of long cables (B71182CA) are optional for BrightSpeed system.
Note, also, that where possible, the cables should enter the gantry from the rear, utilizing the rear
cable cover assembly. Alternate cable entry is possible at the center of the gantry (refer to the
Installation template).
• Excess cable length cannot be stored behind the console or PDU.
• Long cable must not be cut or shortened.
• Excess cable may be stored in conduits, a cable storage box if present, or the floor duct,
provided sufficient space is available. Observe the fill rate for each option. If there are
questions regarding local electrical or building codes, consult the project electrical contractor
or electrician.
• All NEC 70-E Electrical Regulations regarding conduit or duct fill must be observed.

2.1.1 Regulatory Code Description
Egress: 29 CFR 1910 Subpart E (OSHA) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) define the minimum
requirements for means of egress. The requirement most applicable to equipment installation and
room layout is minimum width of exit access. Under OSHA 1910.37(f)(6), the minimum width of exit
access shall in no case be less than 28 in. from any potentially occupied point in the room.
Under NFPA 101 (2006 edition) 7.3.4.1, the minimum width of any means of egress is 36 in.
However, NFPA allows this to be reduced to 28 in. around furniture or equipment, provided that a
36 in. clearance would otherwise be available without moving permanent walls.
Electrical Clearance: 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S (OSHA) and NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical
Safety in the Workplace) define minimum clearance requirements for the workspace around
electrical equipment. Under both OSHA 1910.303(g)(1) and NFPA 70E (2004 edition) 400.15, a
minimum clear space of 36 in. depth (with minimum 30 in. width and 78 in. height) must be provided
in front of electrical equipment with parts operating at 600 volts or below and likely to require
examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance while energized.
This safety clearance requirement applies to all GEHC equipment. Although 36 in. is the minimum
clearance for most installations, the standards require an increased minimum clearance distance
where parts operate above 150 volts (but still below 600 volts) under the following circumstances:
• If the wall or surface directly facing the electrical equipment is grounded (e.g. brick, concrete,
or tile) or includes grounded protrusions (such as medical gas ports, metal door or window
frames, water sources and metallic sink structures, metallic cabinetry, electrical disconnects or
emergency off panels, air conditioners or vents), then a 42 in. clearance depth is required.
If the possibility exists of exposed and unguarded live parts on both sides of the workspace (for
example if a power distribution unit were positioned on the wall directly facing the GEHC
equipment), then a 48 in. clearance depth is required.
2.1.2 Regulated Minimum Working Clearance by Major Subsystem
Requirements apply to equipment operating at 600V or less, where examination, adjustment,
servicing, or maintenance is likely to be performed while live parts are exposed.
Direction of Service Access is defined as perpendicular to the surface of the equipment being
serviced.
• Required regulatory clearance distances must be maintained and may not be used for storage.
This includes normal system operation as well as service inspection or maintenance..

2.1.3 Terms and Definitions
Egress: The path of exit from within any room. U.S. regulations require a minimum of 711.2 mm (28
in.) of continuous and unobstructed space, including trip hazards along the path of exit.
Workspace: The dimensional box required for safe inspection or service of energized equipment.
It consists of depth, width, and height. The depth dimension is measured perpendicular to the
direction of access. The U.S. regulation minimum is 914.4 mm (36 in.), but additional conditions can
increase the minimum dimension requirement. GEHC defines this as the envelope of the
component superstructure with the external covers in place.
Service Access Width: The width of the workspace in front of the equipment. A minimum of 762
mm (30 in.), or the width of the equipment, whichever is greater.
Head Clearance: The height dimension of the workspace. The height of the workspace measured
from the floor at the front edge of the equipment to the ceiling or overhead obstruction(s). 1981.2
mm (78 in.), or the height of the equipment, whichever is greater.
Grounded Wall: Any wall that can be electrically conductive to earth ground. Masonry, concrete,
and tile are considered conductive. Additional commonly found aspects of a wall should also be
considered grounded. This is not an all-inclusive list:
• Medical gas ports and plates
• Metal doors and window frames
• Water sources and metallic sink structures
• Metallic wall-mounted cabinetry
• A1 main disconnect panel
• Equipment Emergency Off panels
• Industrial equipment (such as air conditioners and vents)
• Expansion joints
• Surface raceway
• Exposed wall conduits
• Floor outlets boxes
The following are not considered as grounded elements of a common wall:

2.2 Additional Regulatory Clearance Information
2.2.1 Minimum Room Size (Limited Access)
The CT Gantry Left Side Limited Access Initiative provides the capability to reduce the minimum
room size for CT Systems while still meeting all installation requirements and specifications. This
adds left side flexibility, allowing the CT system to be sited in rooms with widths 559 mm (22 in.)
smaller than the current minimum room width. Left-side access and egress may be restricted. Refer
to your site's installation print for your room's detail.
If you are using the square meters (square feet) to determine compliance, remember that the front
cover clearance is wider than the regulatory clearance along the table length, and that the cover
park position is behind the table in the home position. The cover is removed on tilting dollies and
can be moved side-to-side to reach the park position of 457 mm (18 in.), if this is not an egress
route.
Wall duct and conduit on walls within the regulatory clearance areas shall be 1067mm (42 in.),
measured from the covers to the obstruction. Servicing of the CT System can be safely performed
within the regulatory envelopes, however sufficient space must be maintained to remove system
covers, and replace large system components. To achieve this clearance for the gantry, clear
space must be available to maneuver the gantry covers mounted on the service dollies. Surface
floor raceway cannot be used in the egress route areas. OSHA ramps are available. The FE lifting
the rear or front cover to avoid floor obstructions is not an EHS-approved service procedure. One
Service Engineer shall be able to accomplish all service component replace tasks listed without
the need for special tools or equipment, such as a tube change, detector change, and HV tank.
2.2.1.1 Regulatory Caution
Site prints are required for all system installations including relocation and moves. CT room layout,
as shown on your site print, shall meet all regulatory requirements as described in the installation
manual. Additional room components, such as cabinets, reduce room size. Equipment not shown
on the site print may void the caution statement, making the room non-compliant. Actual site
measurements before installation will be taken to determine room size and compliance.
2.2.1.2 Egress Clearance
Egress requires a clear, unobstructed route out of the room, either around the back of the gantry or
around the back of the table. If your egress route is not around the back of the table, maintain 457
mm (18 in.) of clearance between the back of the table, with a continuous width of 3200 mm (126
in.), 1600 mm (63 in.) on each side of the table center line, on each side to any obstruction so that
the front cover can be removed. Refer to the Pre-Installation manual for more details on service
clearances.
Exceptions
Rooms smaller than 3353 mm x 6096 mm (11 ft. x 20 ft. ), require construction to meet the minimum
requirements. The design center or your GE PMI may have additional recommendations for your
room size.
2.2.1.3 Operational Caution
In a minimum room layout 356 mm - 686 mm (14 in. - 27 in.), the customer should consider
workflow, customer access for patient care, and critical-care operations space requirements.
Additionally, there may be limited equipment access on the gantry left side when loading patients
or when positioning patient equipment in the room between the gantry and the wall. Detailed
customer installation tasks are detailed in the product Pre-Installation manual, Chapters 1-4.

2.2.2.3 Minimum Room Size
This room size and configuration is the smallest functionally acceptable space for this product. Size
and layout often eliminate these rooms for future upgrade considerations. Due to limited size,
equipment and regulatory requirements, this room often has limited workspace, and very limited or
no in-room millwork, but still meets all regulatory requirements. This room is not compatible with
two-step future installations
If you are using the square footage (Sq M) to determine compliance, remember that the front and
rear cover clearances are wider than the regulatory clearance along the table length, and that the
cover park position is be hind the table in the home position. The rear cover is also on wheels and
must be able to be removed from behind the gantry for service.

Section 3.0
Service Clearances
Servicing of the CT System can be safely performed within the regulatory envelopes defined in
Section 2.1 , however sufficient space must be maintained to remove the covers from the system.
To achieve this clearance for the gantry, clear space must be available to maneuver the gantry
covers mounted on the service dollies. One Service Engineer can accomplish this.

IRECTION 5141177-100, REVISION 14 BRIGHTSPEED ELITE, EDGE, EXCEL: PRE-INSTALLATION
3.1 Service Clearances for Single Service Engineer
• Gantry front cover removal requires the use of the “Tilting Cover Dollies”. These dollies allow
the Service Engineer to separate the cover from the gantry, tilt the cover 90 degrees, roll the
cover to the foot end of the table, and then tilt the cover an additional 90 degrees such that the
front cover is now upside down relative to the normal system mounted condition.
illustrates the minimum clear space required to achieve this operation. The gantry front cover
must be removed to a position that satisfies the minimum regulatory clearances.
• The gantry rear cover, with service dollies installed, requires a width 2244 mm (88 in. ) and a
depth of 610 mm (24 in. ) of clearance for removal. Sufficient space must be calculated to move
the cover either straight back or to a side of the table to satisfy the minimum regulatory
clearance shown in
rear or either side of the gantry.
• If gantry service requires both the front and rear covers be removed, then these covers must
be positioned within the room in such a manner as to not violate the regulatory clearances on
any side of the gantry. This may necessitate removing the covers from within the suite. This
should be discussed with the customer and provisions made to accommodate this potential
event.
• A single Service Engineer can safely perform servicing of the table. Sufficient clear space must
be available to maintain regulatory clearances when the table covers or cradle are removed.
• In your room layout design, service shall have clear and unobstructed access to the gantry
tube change area for all major component replacements. These components must be able to
reach the service area without lifting or rigging by one service engineer. Major components
include:
- CT X-ray tube in crate
- High voltage tank(s) in crate
- Slipring in crate
- Detector assembly
Be aware of cabinet placement, and how surface floor ducts are used in room configurations.

3.3 Power Distribution Unit (NGPDU) Service Clearance
Positioning of this component must be considered for regulatory compliance as defined in
Section 2.1 , Regulated Minimum Working Clearance by Major Subsystem.
See Regulatory Tables.
3.4 Console Service Clearance
The console does not present an exposed live parts hazard. However, a minimum working space
depth of 1219.2 mm (48 in.) and full width of the console be maintained at all times for service
activity. Additionally sufficient space needs to be provided for repositioning of the console and side
clearance for rear service access. Egress as well as other service requirement shall be considered
when siting the console. See Figure 4-6 for a Recommended control room layout.
Section 4.0
Short Footprint Consideration
4.1 Introduction of Short Footprint function
If the site room length cannot satisfy the requirements for standard mode. Short Footprint mode can
be considered.
Short Footprint mode is to set limitation to table cradle scannable limitation(A) so that cradle cannot
move in out of the limitation. The scannable range is limited accordingly.
Short Footprint features are as follows:

• Cradle Movement limitation can be set at any position.
• Table Height Limitation can not be set (no change for footprint at Gantry Front side).
• Scannable range is depends on the Gantry Rear space (distance to the wall), but need to
consider the Service Clearance and country's local regulation for Gantry Rear space.
4.2 Instruction of using Short Footprint function
NOTICE Cradle limitation must comply with country or local regulatory clearance requirements.
Cradle movement limitation set for short footprint must be approved by customer during preinstallation.
1.) Refer to Figure 4-4 , use floor template with ruler to prearrange the layout and calculate the
cradle scannable limitation (A).
2.) Make GE siting print to meet regulatory and service clearance requirements.
3.) Record the distance from cradle limitation to wall (X) and cradle scannable limitation (A) for
installation.

Structural Requirements
8.1 Table and Gantry Mounting Requirements
WARNING POTENTIAL FOR PATIENT INJURY.
IMPROPERLY SECURED TABLE MAY TIP, DISLODGING PATIENT.
PROPER ANCHORING IS KEY TO MAINTAINING PATIENT SAFETY DURING
SYSTEM OPERATION.
NOTICE It is the purchaser's responsibility to provide an approved support structure and mounting
method for all floor types other than those listed. General Electric is not responsible for any
failure of the support structure or method of anchoring, including seismic requirements.
GE is not responsible for methods other than those listed.
Table and gantry mounting dimensions are shown in Figure 6-2, Figure 6-3, Figure 6-4, and
Figure 6-5. Refer to Chapter 6 for additional details of floor loadings, component weights, and
Gantry and Table installation and anchoring.
Anchor gantry and table to floor by a means that will maintain their relative alignment and meet
applicable building and other local codes, including seismic structural mounting requirements.
Floor structure must be capable of withstanding the occupied weight of table and gantry, and the
individual contact area loading of these components. Refer to Section 6.0 for each of the three (3)
major components of the BrightSpeed system.
Support areas of the patient table and gantry must rest on solid concrete, not resilient tile or
carpeting which will slowly yield over a period of time and disturb alignment of table to gantry.
Factors that could cause misalignment between gantry and table due to floor sag should be
considered. The cradle can potentially carry a 205 kg (450 lb) (HPower Table) / 227 kg (500
lb) (GT1700 Table) patient. Center of gravity changes as cradle cantilevers.
Take into consideration all other moving weights such as gurneys or personal equipment. Refer to
Chapter 6 for gantry and table mounting details.
No part of floor surface within table and gantry, nor the two interface areas between table and
gantry, should be higher than the support area for table and gantry.
8.2 Floor Anchors
Provided floor anchors are designed for use ONLY on concrete floors that meet the 102 mm (4 in.)
concrete floor requirements. All other anchoring methods (on floor types other than the 102 mm (4
in.) concrete minimum) must be determined to meet the stated GE minimum load requirements, at
the customer’s expense, by their structural contractor. The customer’s contractor is responsible for
the installation of all anchors other than those shipped with the system.
Page 84 Section 8.0 - Structural Requirements
Page 85
GE HEALTHCARE
D
IRECTION 5141177-100, REVISION 14 BRIGHTSPEED ELITE, EDGE, EXCEL: PRE-INSTALLATION
8.3 Floor Strength
Concrete floors must have a minimum strength of f'c = 2000 psi (1.4 X 107 Pa) at 28 days (curing
time) for mounting floor anchors. It is the responsibility of each customer to have appropriate tests
performed to determine and measure concrete strength.
Note: If installing the GE BS scanner on a floor type thinner than a 102 mm (4 in. ) concrete floor, the
purchaser, at their expense, shall provide acceptable anchoring and mounting methods that meet
all structural specifications provided in sections 8.1 through 8.5 of this Pre-Installation Manual.
8.4 Floor Levelness
The CT Room floor levelness requirement is important for accurate patient positioning. Floor
levelness in the Scan Room must not be greater than 6 mm (0.25 in. ) between depression and high
spots over any 3048 mm (120 in. ) distance within the area of the gantry/table template (see
Figure 2-1, on page 45).
Note: Floor must meet levelness specification to properly align the table gantry. Minimum gantry height at
this specification will be 1/2" (15 mm) to prevent cable crushing.
Table level may not be achievable if overall floor levelness is greater than the specification.
Overall floor level must be 0" to use under gantry cable entrance. Minimum gantry height will be
3/4" 20 mm with this option to prevent cable crushing.
The use of floor shims is not suitable to achieve floor levelness. It is recommended that the concrete
be leveled to meet this requirement.
8.5 Floor Vibration
The CT equipment may be sensitive to vibration in the frequency range of 0.5 to 20 Hz depending
on the amplitude of the vibration. It is the customers responsibility to contract a vibration consultant
or qualified engineer to implement design modifications to meet the specific limits, However, it is
ultimately the customer/architect/engineer responsibility to design the site solution.
8.5.1 Steady State Vibration
The maximum steady state vibration transmitted through the floor should not exceed 10-3 m/s2 rms
maximum single frequency above ambient baseline from 0.5 to 80 Hz (measured in any 1 hour
during a normal operating period).
8.5.2 Transient Vibration
The behavioral characteristics must be such that any measurable transient disturbance must also
be minimized to less than 0.01 m/s
2
peak-to-peak.

IRECTION 5141177-100, REVISION 14 BRIGHTSPEED ELITE, EDGE, EXCEL: PRE-INSTALLATION
8.5.3 Equipment Location
To minimize the interference, the CT equipment should be placed on a solid floor, located as far as
possible from the following vibration sources:
• Parking lots • Roadways • Subways
• Trains • Hallways • Elevators
• Heliports • Hospital power plants containing pumps, motors, air handling
equipment and air conditioning units
8.6 Walls: Scan Window
The recommended patient viewing window dimensions are 1219 mm wide by 1067 mm high (48 in.
x 42 in. ). The location of the window is dependent on the position of Operator Workspace position.
Consult Section 10.0 of this chapter and a qualified radiological health physicist for radiation
protection requirements of glass (lead content and thickness).
Note: The operator at the Operator Workspace must be able to view the patient during a scan.
8.7 Ceiling Requirement
The weight of "Boom in a room LCD monitor" assy is 50 kg., and ceiling shall have enough strength
against the specification.

K9000WA 2215028-9 3 m
The CT system is connected to the network through the Console.
• A patch cable (not to exceed 3.05 m (10 ft. ) should be provided by the customer, and it is used
to connect the console to a wall box. (See Notes on
• Some customer-site units may require cable duct-work or conduit to route connecting network
cables to the workstation, camera and console.
• The run from the hospital switch to the CT wall outlet must not exceed 88m (290 ft. ). Bandwidth
performance is degraded when the length reaches 91m (300 ft. ) or greater.
• For the optional modem: Two phone lines should be provided by the facility. One line is for
use with a modem and must be an analog line. The second line is a voice only line.
