1.1. Electrical safety
Only trained service personnel authorized by Villa Sistemi Medicali may
remove the unit covers and only in accordance with the instructions
contained in the Service Manual.
This x-ray unit may only be used in environments or medical rooms in compliance with the
applicable IEC standards.
The x-ray unit must not
Cleaning and disinfecting agents, including those used on patients, may create an explosive,
gaseous mixture. Use only those products in compliance with the applicable rules.
be used in areas where there exists a danger of explosion.
1.2. Laser targeting devices safety
• Keep always a good lightening on the room.
• Never look through the output window of the laser targeting device.
• Never fix the reflections of the laser targeting devices.
• Before starting any examination, the patient must remove earrings, glasses, necklaces
and whatever could reflect the laser beam and be printed on the image.
• Don't clean the openings of the laser targeting devices with tools that could modify their
optics. Only the service personnel must perform possible cleaning actions.
• The min. distance between the laser source and the patient must not be lower than cm20.
The only purpose of the laser use is to reduce the patient dose to a
minimum, it doesn’t be considered as an absolute means of centering.
The activation of procedures other those listed above can cause the
emission of dangerous non-ionizing radiations.
1.3. Mechanical safety
The unit can be moved only by trained personnel by complying with the following safety
conditions:
• Move the unit by considering the conditions for the movement that are indicated in detail
in the paragraph
• Don't move and use the unit on surfaces with inclination higher than 5°
• Only use the proper handles to move the unit.
• Avoid collision with obstacles.
• After positioning the unit, engage the parking brakes.

1.4. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
This apparatus is in compliance with the standard IEC 60601-1-2 that defines the max.
allowed emission levels from electronic devices and the required immunity from interference
caused by externally generated electromagnetic fields.
It is not, however, possible to exclude radio signals coming from transmitters such as mobile
phones or similar mobile radio devices. These and other transmitting devices, including
those in compliance with the EMC standards, may influence the proper functioning of
medical apparatus when used in proximity and with a relatively high transmitting power.
Therefore, the use of radio equipment proximity to electronically controlled systems must be
avoided in order to eliminate any interference risk.
Any transmissions by mobile radio equipment must be avoided.
Mobile phones must be switched off in zones close to the unit.
These rules must be applied when the unit is switched on (that is to say
connected to the mains and ready for use).
1.5. Protection against ionizing radiation
Before any x-ray exposure, ensure that all the necessary protective
precautions have been taken.
During the use of x-rays, personnel present in the room must comply with the following rules
concerning protection against ionizing radiation:
When necessary, use protective shielding against radiation in addition to the shielding
already provided on the unit.
Use protective aprons containing a material equivalent to 0,35mm of lead. Material of this
nature reduces radiation at 50kV by 99,95% and at 100kV by 94,5%.
The best protection against radiation is distance. It is therefore recommended that you stay
as far as possible from the x-ray source and the exposure target. For this purpose, use all of
the cable length provided for the foot-switch.
Avoid walking or standing directly in the x-ray beam.
Always use the smallest possible field of exposure by closing properly the collimator
diaphragms. The scatter dose produced depends principally on the volume of the irradiated
object.
Never modify or disconnect the safety circuits or devices designed to
prevent accidental exposures.
Collimation system adjusted to a field of 30 x
30 cm2 at 1 m from the x-ray tube focus.
Exposure parameters: 100 kVp and 1 mA.
Values normalized to 1 min. of fluoroscopy
(µGy/min).
Equivalent water phantom 30x30x20cm.
The complete isodose measures are included
into the report 035-07 ISO KERMA MAPPING
(cod.200394) attached to the unit
documentation

The footswitch is enabled only in fluoroscopy mode.
The fluoroscopy control footswitch consists of a double-step pedal and two single-step ones.
The functions in the different modes are:
1. Left pedal (two steps):
Fluoroscopy Mode:
1° step: fluoroscopy control.
2° step: image storage; in continuous
fluoroscopy the current image is stored.
2.
Right pedal (a step):
Pulsed fluoroscopy mode.
3. Third pedal (a step):
Fluoroscopy mode:
1
"snapshot" control (high-contrast
exposure with reduced background noise).

2.5. Handswitch for radiography / fluoroscopy control
The control handswitch is made of a two-
steps switch.
Radiography mode:
1° step: preparation control.
2° step: emission control.
In radiography mode it is possible to press
immediately the exposure control (2° step),
with an emission delay due to the anode
starting phase
It is possible to control Fluoroscopy and
Storage even with the radiography
handswitch.
Fluoroscopy mode:
1° step: fluoroscopy control.
2° step: image storage.
Normally the function is enabled. In order
to disable it, it is necessary Service
intervention.
(only for rotating anode version).

1 Indication of the dose value (only if the dosimeter is present and in working condition /
MESSAGES and/or ERRORS Area)
2 Indication of the FLUOROSCOPY / RADIOGRAPHY phase.
3 Indication of the available thermal units (HUT), expressed in percentage from 0% (indicator
completely white and spent HUT) to 100% (indicator completely black and available HUT).
When the residual HUT value allows a use of the unit below five minutes, under the
indicator will appear also the residual time indication (t = …min), valued in function of the
employed power. Simultaneously it’s issued an acoustic alarm not modifiable.
When the residual HUT reach 0%, the x-rays emission block intervenes.
It’s possible to exceed this limit and proceed with the x-rays emission (only in fluoroscopy
mode) till intervention of monobloc thermal security.
This choice must be performed by Service personnel and on express request of the final
user.
As the monobloc temperature decreases, the HUT will be regenerated. Residual time
indication will disappear, when thermal units allow a use exceeding five minutes.
4 Selection of the Anatomic Curve in Fluoroscopy (Standard / Paediatric / Pelvis-Head /
Standard for sturdy patient
(only for rotating anode with camera 1K2)).
5 Indication of the set kV value. It changes in Automatic mode or in Manual mode by using
the kV+ and kV- keys of the control panel.
6 Indication of mA value concerning kV and the selected curve. During the exposure it
indicates the measured mA value.
7 Indication of the AUTOMATIC / MANUAL mode.
8 Dose printing key. It appears if the dosimeter is present and in working condition and if the
printing mode in Utility Mode is selected (§
3.6.10).
