Applications 0
With your MULTIX TOP you have a Bucky table radiographic system with a 3D
ceiling support at a high technical level for hospital and medical practice.
The X-ray unit is a universal workstation with a motor driven table height adjustment device for all projection X-ray exposures or DLR cassettes for digital luminescence radiography.
There are removable, changeable scattered radiation grids for examinations on
children with special requirements with regard to radiation protection and additional filtration.
Balanced ergonomics Special attention has been paid in design to ergonomics with the objective of sim-
ple operation of the radiographic system.

Possibilities of use 0
Patients up to 190 cm tall can be examined from head to toe without repositioning by shifting the tabletop and moving the 3D ceiling support and the
catapult Bucky.
X-ray exposures in the region of the skull, the spinal column (skeleton), the thorax, lungs and abdomen as well as of the extremities can be taken from the lying
and sitting patient on a Bucky table with the MULTIX TOP radiographic system.
In addition, free onto-table exposures or bedside exposures as well as emergency station trolley exposures can be taken.
Exposures of the standing or sitting patient can be taken on the VERTIX PRO/TOP
or VERTIX S Bucky wall stand.

Safety Information
General safety 0
Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC). EMC information provided in the accompanying documents must be followed where appropriate.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical
equipment.
Collision and crushing zones 0
Warning
There is a risk of collision / crushing for patients, operating staff, unit and objects
- caused by unit movements which could be released by inadmissible
actuation of operating elements by patients.
--- possible collicion and crushing zones for patient and operating staff, especially
with respect to extremities, in case of operation errors:
o between patient table and patient tabletop
o between patient table and catapult Bucky
o between patient tabletop and handle of the Bucky
o between patient tabletop and base frame in tabletop movement
o between tube unit and object/floor when moving the tube unit down
o between tabletop and 3D ceiling support when raising or
lowering the tabletop
o between bottom edge of the tabletop and object in table downwards move-
ment
o between persons, MULTIX unit, VERTIX Bucky wall stand, wall or objects and
3D ceiling support during longitudinal or transverse movement or tube unit
rotation about the vertical or horizontal axis.
o when moving the 3D ceiling support outside the specified parking range
o between persons and the 3D ceiling support during motor-operated move-
ment of the patient table
o risk of collision with the handle of the catapult Bucky for the patient when
getting on or off the table.

Safety Information
o between handles of the 3D ceiling support and the collimator when rotating
the collimator
o at collimator accessory rails
Please take special care when the patient is getting onto or leaving the patient
table that no unintentional activation of the operating elements occurs.
If the patient slips, for instance, it is possible that the table brake may be activated unintentionally, or the active brakes are overridden and thus a system movement occurs.
Warning
The patient and operating personnel may grip only the handles which are inten-
ded for this purpose. If this is not possible, please pay attention to posssible
risks of injury by crushing between moving parts and their guide openings.
The operator is obliged to ensure that system movements are released only if
it is assured that neither the patient nor third parties can be endangered by
these movements.

Monthly Checks 0
u Perform a functional check of the system EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN button
and of the red EMERGENCY STOP button.
– You will find additional information on this in the
Current Information/Safety register
u Perform a functional check of the ACSS automatic format collimation.
The three-digit digital display source image distance "SID" may be checked for
conformity with the tape measure in the collimator.
(Working with an ACSS system in the ACSS mode or with a manual collimator,
measure with the tape measure up to the table top and add 5 cm for the
table top - cassette distance.)
We recommend to perform this check on a regular - e.g. monthly - basis.
If the SID values are incorrect, overexposures might occur.
Please notify our Uptime Service if this is the case.
SID checks which are performed on a regular basis will prevent unintentional
overexposures.
Legally required checks 0
u Legally required checks, such as the constancy test in accordance with the
X-Ray Code §16 RöV in the Federal Republic of Germany shall be performed
at the stated time intervals.
Safety-relevant parts subject to wear 0
For safety reasons, steel cables (e.g. in the VERTIX Bucky wall stand) must be
inspected and, if required, changed at a time interval of three years at the most.

Safety Information
Maintenance intervals 0
To maintain the safety and function of the system, maintenance must be
performed regularly, at least every 12 months.
(e.g.: periodic relubrication of the lifting spindle of the table lifting column)
u If you have not concluded a maintenance contract, please notify Siemens
Uptime Service.
Behavior in the case of functional disturbances 0
u Please switch the system off and proceed according to the instructions in the
Current information / Safety register.
Cleaning the system 0
u Shut down the system properly before cleaning.
o No moisture may penetrate into the system.
o Plastic surfaces may be cleaned only with a damp cloth with soap solution
since other agents (e.g. with high alcohol contents) can cause the surface to
become dull and liable to crack.
– You will find further information on this in the
Current information / Safety register.
Disinfection of the system 0
u Shut down the system before cleaning.
o Only those disinfection methods which satisfy the applicable regulations and
directives as well as explosion protection may be used.
o No corrosive, dissolving or gaseous disinfectants may be used.
o Spray disinfection is therefore not recommended since disinfectants can
penetrate into the system in this case.
