General Product Information

The bone densitometer is designed to estimate the bone mineral densityand body composition (lean and fat tissue mass) of patients when medically indicated by their physicians. The manuals provide instructions for operating the software and scan table,system information, and maintenance information.
Variables Affecting Scan Results
Scan results can be affected by operator technique and patientvariability:
1. Operator technique refers to patientpositioning and scan analysis. To minimize technique variables, 1) establish con­sistent positioning and scan analysis routines by using anatomical landmarks when positioning patients, and 2) during analysis, manipulateraw scan data only when absolutely necessary.
2. Patient variabilityrefers to changes in the patient's medical history, metabolism, and diet.It also refers to diagnostic pro­cedures that involve radionuclide uptake and medical treatment, and the presence of external radiation (particularly the use of other radiation-generating devices in thevicinity of the system). To minimize patient variability, 1) thoroughly famil­iarize yourselfwith thepatient's history, and 2) installthe scanner in an environment effectively shielded from other sources of external radiation.
CAUTION: United States Federal Law restricts this device to the sale, distribution, and use by or on the order of a phy­sician (USA only).

Training Information

GE Medical Systems Lunar or authorized GE Medical Systems Lunar distributors provide individual, hands-on training as part of the installation procedure for your system.(GE Medical Systems Lunar distributors provide training for systems installed outside the United States.)An Applications Specialist provides information on software and hardware operations, and reviews thewarn­ings and cautions in the manuals.
IMPORTANT: Only trained technologists should operate the system. New technologists should receive training prior to unsupervised operation of the system. Additional training sessions are available on request for a nominal fee. For more information, contact the GE Medical Systems Lunar Customer Serv­ice Department at 800-334-5831, or your local GE representative.

Cautions for DEXA Determinations

You should be aware of thefollowing factors which may affectthe clinical accuracy of DEXA spine estimates: marked distortions of skeletal architecture-e.g.,osteophytes, degenerativedisc disease, spinal arthritis, spondylolisthesis, kyphoscoliosis, and vertebral fractures-and significant calcium deposits in theaorta can falsely elevatespine bone mineral values. Regions that contain these dystrophic calcifications can be excluded from thescan analysis in some cases. Thescanner can be used to monitor changes in bone mineral over time in patients with these disorders, but caution must betaken in interpretation. Use DEXA estimates as an aid to other methods in the evaluation of patientbone mineral status in theclinical setting.
In addition, spine estimates willbe difficultto interpretfor patients with orthopedic metal devices and previous surgical inter­ventions, such as bone grafts. Radiographic contrast material and radiopharmaceuticals used for myelograms, barium enemas, and other diagnostic tests preventaccurateestimates. Barium clears the body within a few days, but theoil-based dyes used in myelograms several years ago may remain within the body for years. A three-day waiting period is sufficient time for barium and most radiopharmaceuticals to becompletelydischarged from the body.
Femur estimates will be difficultto interpret for patients with orthopedic metal devices and previous surgical interventions. The most common complicating factors for femur estimates are prostheticdevices and surgical implants in the region of the bone scan. Results may be adversely affected if the patient has difficultywith thedesired 25° inward rotation of theleg or with main­taining this position without movement.
Total Body estimates require consistent patientpositioning for accurate results and will be difficultto interpret for patients with orthopedic metal devices and previous surgical interventions. The operator should pay particular attention to the location of the patient's arms, keeping thepositioning thesame for each scan. Results may be affected if the patient moves during the scan.

Precautions for Standard Operating Procedures

1. Do not attempt to operatethe scanner without first reading this manual.
2. Do not remove the assembly panels or attemptany repairs without prior instructions from authorized GE Medical Sys­tems Lunar personnel.
3. Perform the QualityAssurance procedure each morning. If any test fails, check theposition of thecalibration block and rerun the QA procedure. If a test fails again, contact GE MedicalSystems Lunar Support. Also, callGE Medical Systems Lunar if more than two failures occur in a one-week period. If the room temperature changes more the5°C during the day, then perform another Daily QA.
4. If thepatient is or might be pregnant, always contact the patient's physician before performing a scan.
5. Remain in the room with thepatient whilea scan is in progress. Assure the patient does not move during the meas­urement. Minimize the amount of time the patient lies flat on the scan table.
6. Restrictaccess to theroom to authorized personnel.
7. Do not attempt to service any of thesystem's electrical components while the scan table is turned ON. High voltage is used to produce x-rays.
8. Radiation safety information is located within this manual you received with your system. Review this information before operation.
9. To stop the scanner in an emergency, press the emergency stop button on thescan arm. DO NOT use theemergency stop button to routinely abort a scan.
10. Remove any fluids which are spilled on pad or any surface of tableimmediately.
11. All surfaces should be cleaned to meet site's guidelines for handling blood and body fluids. Pad material may be dam­aged by certain chemicals Use appropriate hospital grade disinfectantfollowed by mild detergent.
12. Do not generatex-rays through the use of remoteapplications.
- 6 of 57-
13. Protectthe computer against malicious logic and unauthorized network access. Only allow authorized user access. Pre­vent virus attacks through the use of firewalls, anti-virus software and software patch updates. Contact your local GE rep­resentativefor more information.
14. DPX Duo: Extend thestep the full distance to provide maximum surface area for the patient to get on and off thetable without risk of injury.
15. DPX Duo: Do not placean excessiveload on foot rest (stirrup), drawers, or leg extension.

Scanner Table Assembly

Note: Do not attempt to service the scanner table assembly. Please call GE MEDICAL SYSTEMSLunar Support or your GE MEDICAL
SYSTEMSLunar distributor.
Scanner table
The scanner table is used to support thepatientduring a measurement or general examination (DPX Duo). In addition, thex-ray source assembly and other electronics are contained inside the scanner table.
Scanner arm
The laser light,emitted from an aperture on the scanner arm, helps you locate the measurement start position. Positioning switches let you move the scanner arm until thelaser light is located at the correct start position. Thestart position is different for each measurement type.
The DPX Duo and DPX Bravo scanner arm has a releaseand locking mechanism allowing the upper arm to swivel when the scanner is idle. The scanner arm must be in the locked position over thescanner tableto perform a measurement.

Display panel
The following describes theindicators located on thescanner arm display panel:
Indicator Status (on)
Green (power) Power is supplied to the scanner table. Yellow (x-ray) X-ray tubeassembly is supplying x-rays. Yellow (shutter) Shutter is open. Amber (laser) Laser is on.
Emergency stop button
Push thered emergency stop button to stop thescanner arm and immediately shut down x-rays in an emergency. Do not use the emergency stop button to routinelystop the scanner during normal operation.
Positioning switches
The positioning switches move the scanner arm and detector to themeasurement start position (thelaser light indicates the posi­tion of the detector). The Back/Front switch moves thedetector across the width of the scanner table. The Left/Right switch moves the scanner arm down thelength of the scanner table.
Swing arm position sensing switches (DPX Duo, DPX Bravo)
The swing arm position sensing switches detectthe locking status of the swing arm and the swing arm latch. The swing arm latch must be locked and the swing arm must be in the locked position over thescan table before a measurementcan be performed. Release of the swing arm latch during a measurementwill abort thescan and themeasurementdata will be lost.
iDXA Start Scan button
The start scan button initiates the patient measurement. The start scan button is located on the display panel near thepositioning switches.

System Safety

Obey these safetyguidelines at all times:
Read the manual before you operate the scanner.
Thetechnologist operating thescanner must remain in the room with thepatientduring the measurement.
Do not attempt to service the scanner. Please callGE MEDICAL SYSTEMS Lunar Support or your GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS
Lunar Distributor.
When thescanner is not in use, make sure the Shutter Open, X-ray, and Laser lights are off.
Do not put excessive pressure on thescanner arm.
Use the scanner table for patient measurements and examinations (DPX Duo) only: do not sit, stand or lieon the tablefor
other purposes.
Do not let liquids touch the computer or scanner tablemechanics and electronics.

Operator Safety

Personnel monitors
Personnel monitors are not necessary to operate the scanner.
It is not likely that you can receive more than 25% of themaximum permissiblex-ray dose from the scanner. However, some facil­ities choose to use personnel monitors. Refer to your city, county or state Health Departmentor Radiation Safety Officer for your facility's policy.
Film badges and thermal luminescent dosimeter (TLD) badges are obtained from a supplier accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program for personnel dosimetry processing.

X-ray and shutter graphics
During a measurement or QualityAssurance procedure, x-ray and shutter graphics are shown on the computer monitor. The graphics are green to indicate x-rays are off and theshutter is closed, and yellow to indicate x-rays are on and the shutter is open.
X-rays off and shutter closed (green):
X-rays on and shutter open (yellow):
X-ray shutter
When power to thescanner is interrupted during a measurement or QualityAssurance procedure, theshutter closes and the x­ray tube stops generating x-radiation.
X-ray power supply
The x-ray tube assembly uses high voltage to generate x-rays. DO NOT touch internal components. DO NOT attempt to service internal components.

Patient Safety

Pinch points
The Warning label identifies thelocation of possiblepinch points.
When thescanner arm is in motion, make sure possible pinch point areas are clear at all times. Patientlimbs must remain inside the boundaries of the tabletop. A pinch point is possible between the scanner arm and table.
- 9 of 57-
Laser Safety
DO NOT STARE INTO THE LASER BEAM during patient positioning and Quality Assurance procedures. The labelthat follows is
located on the scanner arm and shows the location of the laser aperture.
Radiation Safety
X-ray exposure: The system makes radiation when electric voltageis suppliedto, and current flows through, thex-ray tube. Dur-
ing a measurement, the shutter opens to let a beam of radiation pass through the scanner table and patient. The nominal radi­ation field at the iDXA scanner table top is 18.4 mm x 3.3 mm, at theProdigy table top is 19.5 mm x 3.4 mm and at the DPX series table top it is 2 mm. Lead oxide shielding surrounds the x-ray tube insert insidethe tube housing assembly and reduces radiation levels around the scanner table.
Skin entrance dose: A Victoreen model 530 Precision Electrometer/ Dosemeter with a Model 660-5 Ion Chamber was used to measure the X-ray entrance dose. Refer to the"Current and Typical Dose Tables" for irradiation times and skin entrance doses.
Measurement modes
Patient thickness determines the appropriate measurement mode. Theprogram selects theappropriatemode based on the patient's height and weight.

All modes are 76kV, ±1kV.
2
Tube current is ±1% at themaximum current.
3
Imaging timemeasured from shutter open to shutter close,90% to 100% of indicated value.
4
Sizes of measurement areas and irradiation times willbe less than those listed above ifyou use the SmartScan feature.
5
Measurement lengths and times are dependenton patient height and product version.
6
Dose measurements are constrained by Daily QA limits. For example,the maximum spine (standard mode) range is 30 to 85μGy
for Prodigy densitometers and 8 to 28μGy for DPX series densitometers. 7
Irradiation times and dose values do not consider a “sweep retry” feature which can double thedose for a single transverse sweep within an entire scan. If a retry occurs a slight increase in irradiation time and skin entrance dose would be expected. On Lunar Prodigy scanners DF+12000 and above, all Prodigy Advance,and DPX+NT scanners running version 8 software and newer, a sweep may be retried one time during acquisition. A maximum of two sweeps can be retried per scan. Theretry feature reduces need to rescan entirepatient.
