Section 1

Room Requirements

General Information

Forte cameras consist of a Gantry, a Collimator Storage Unit (for holding up to four
pairs of heavy collimators), a Patient Table, an Acquisition Terminal and a
Processing Workstation (also called a PegBlade).

The Gantry is a stationary “ring-shaped” device which Philips anchors to the floor.
The Gantry supports two Detectors from which the system collects images of the
patient. See illustration on page 1-3.

The Patient Table is on wheels, but, unless moved out of the way to accommodate
gurney-bound patients, remains in the same location. As shown on page 1-3, the
Patient Table includes a moveable Pallet which translates the patient in and out of
the Gantry Ring.

For Emission Computed Tomography (ECT) studies, the two Detectors rotate
around a patient lying on the Patient Table in the center of the Gantry Ring.

For Total Body Studies, the two detectors remain above and below the patient. The
Patient Table moves the Pallet (and patient) in and out of the Gantry Ring.

To image patients on gurneys, operators move the Patient Table out of the way and
place the gurney under the camera but perpendicular to the normal table position.

Forte Models

There are two models of Forte Cameras:

• Forte with Atlas Electronics Rack (Forte Atlas) - manufactured before
November 2000 which requires an additional electronic rack in the room.

• Forte with Power Pack (Forte Power Pack) - manufactured after December
2000 which have a slightly larger compartment behind the Gantry. That
compartment contains the electronic components formerly contained in the
separate Atlas Electronics Rack.

Collimator Storage Unit

The Collimator Storage Unit may contain up to eight collimators (four pairs).
Collimators are 21" x 26" (53cm x 66cm) sheets of lead of various thicknesses.
Collimators weigh between 110 and 235 lbs (50 and 107 kg).

Prior to performing clinical studies, the operator must transfer a pair of collimators
from the Collimator Storage Unit to the pair of Detectors on the Gantry. To do

1-1

Section 1: Room Requirements

collimator transfers, the Collimator Storage Unit is on wheels. It moves between
“park” and “exchange” positions along an arc around the corner of the Gantry.

Left and Right Configurations

Philips can install the Collimator Storage Unit on either the left or right side of the
Gantry.

Philips recommends installing the Collimator Storage Unit on the side of the Gantry
where the patient enters the room. This allows operators to assist the patient getting
on or off the table and also reach controls on the Display Panel on top of the
Collimator Storage Unit.

The operator will also want the Acquisition Terminal on the same side of the Patient
Table as the Collimator Storage Unit. Other configurations will require the operator
to frequently walk around the Patient Table.

Section 2 contains illustrations of rooms with left and right Collimator Storage
Units. Those illustrations show recommended directions of patient access and
locations of the Acquisition Terminal.

Air Conditioning Requirements

The Forte camera has the following heat loads:
Forte System PegBlade PegBlade Monitor 6.0 KVA UPS

(optional)

5,542 BTU/hr 854 BTU/hr 544 BTU/hr 1,771 BTU/hr
388 Cal/sec 60 Cal/sec 38 Cal/sec 124 Cal/sec
1,623 watts 250 watts 159 watts 519 watts

The camera room HVAC system must maintain the temperature between 60°- 75° F
(16° - 24° C) with less than 10° F (5° C) variation per hour. Humidity must be
between 20% - 75%. These requirements are 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Floor Levelness Requirements

The floor under the four Patient Table wheels must be at the same level (±0.25" or 6
mm) as the floor under the Gantry .

The floor under the Collimator Storage Unit rails must be at the same level (±0.125"
or 3 mm) as the floor under the Gantry.

If floors do not meet these requirements, the customer will need to correct the floor
levelness problem before Philips can begin an installation. To avoid trip hazards near
the Gantry, Collimator Storage Unit and Patient Table, any floor correction measures
(such as grout) must taper down to the existing floor away from the Gantry,
Collimator Storage Unit and Patient Table. See illustration on page 6-8.

Room Size Requirements

Room size requirements are slightly different for Forte Power Pack and Forte Atlas
cameras. Room layout drawings appear in Section 2.

Forte Power Pack Cameras
For Forte Power Pack Cameras, the room sizes requirements differ slightly

depending on whether the Collimator Storage Unit is on the left or right side of the
Gantry.

Although larger rooms are preferable, acceptably small rooms for Forte Power Pack
cameras may have these dimensions:

Collimator Storage Unit on

left of Gantry

Collimator Storage Unit on

right of Gantry

Width: 13' - 6" (411 cm)
Length: 18' (549 cm)

Patient Table

Forte Power Pack room sizes smaller than 12' - 10" x 18' require approval by
Philips Milpitas Site Planning Department.

For new construction, architects should consider increasing the room length to 20'.

Forte Atlas Cameras
For Forte Atlas Cameras, room size requirements are the same for left and right

Collimator Storage Units. An acceptably small room may have these dimensions:

Collimator Storage Unit on

left or right of Gantry

Width: 13' - 6" (411 cm)
Length: 18' (549 cm)
Height: 7' - 7" (231 cm)

Forte Atlas Cameras with room sizes smaller than 13' - 6" x 18' require approval by
Philips Milpitas Site Planning Department.

For new construction, architects should consider increasing the room length to 20'.

Power Requirements

Section 1: Room Requirements

Camera

. Power requirments for the Forte Camera1 are as follows:

UPS (optional) 6.0 KVA

(manufactured by APC)
Voltage/Current Requirement (with or without UPS): 208 - 240 VAC, 30 amp
Peak current: 15.3 amp at 208 VAC
Steady state current: 4.2 amp at 208 VAC
Phase: Single Phase
Receptacle (with or without UPS): L6-30R

(dedicated line)

Processing Workstation. Power requirements for Processing Station (PegBlade) are:

Voltage: 115 VAC (U.S.)

220 VAC (International)
Current: 5 amp @115 VAC (U.S.)

2.5 amp @ 220 VAC

(International)
Receptacle: Nema 5-20 (dedicated line

not required)

Vibration Specifications

Nuclear medicine cameras do not have floor vibration specifications. This is because
(1) image collection durations are long (10 - 300 seconds, or more) and floor
vibration durations are much smaller, (2) vibrations are typically sinusoidal and,
therefore, tend to cancel out, and (3) the patient table and detector/gantry assemblies
are both floor mounted and, therefore, vibrate together.

In Forte Atlas cameras, the Atlas Electronics Rack provides power to the Gantry, Collimator
Storage Unit, Patient Table and Acquisition Terminal.

In Forte Power Pack cameras, the Gantry provides power to the Collimator Storage Unit, Patient
Table and Acquisition Terminal.

Forte Atlas and Forte Power Pack cameras have the same power requirements.
