Correct image orientation – patient orientation It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure correct image orientation on the monitor or film. CAUTION Image is incorrectly flipped due to incorrect patient position information or right/left labeling. Risk of incorrect diagnosis or treatment because of left/right or up/down confusion  The examiner is responsible for using the image orientation functions and interpreting the images correctly.  Make sure that the R/L labels have been placed correctly.  Compare the patient position data with the anatomic view when diagnosing images to exclude any errors.  If necessary, use lead letters or similar devices during acquisition. Visual contact to patient The operator of the X-ray system must ensure that there is visual and acoustic contact with the patient. Thus, the operator always remains informed about the condition of the patient. Room lighting According to DIN 6868- 157 (valid in Germany), the lighting in rooms in which diagnoses are made on image display devices (monitors) must fulfill the following requirements:  The lighting must be adjustable and glare-free.  The setting of the illuminance must be reproducible (for example, dimmer with scale).  No mirroring or reflections of windows, lights, view boxes, and so on, must occur in the operating position of the monitors. Prerequisites for diagnosis and treatment planning The FLUOROSPOT Compact imaging system software has been designed and tested for use in diagnosis and treatment planning based on digital radiographic X-ray images and series. To ensure that the imaging system produces images suitable for these purposes, the monitor must meet certain criteria for image quality. Checks Image quality can deteriorate over time because of aging and normal wear or damage of the monitor and other components.  The image quality must be checked at regular intervals (once per month) after installation.

Radiation protection The X-ray equipment LUMINOS Lotus Max with radiation protection complies with IEC 60601-1- 3:2008 and IEC 60601-2-43:2010. Mode of operation: Continuous Important information SIEMENS Unrestricted Published by Siemens Healthcare GmbH © Siemens Healthcare GmbH, 2020 Healthineers Master Template Effective Date: 5 MAR 2020 | HOOD05162003074494 Job Aid Effective Date: 4 May 2020 I HOOD05162003188054 Job Aid Lotus Max: System Safety Effective Date: 05/04/2021 I HOOD05162003188054 The automatic format collimation system for acquisition and fluoroscopy modes, pulsed fluoroscopy, CAREPROFILE and CAREPOSITION as well as the automatic dose rate control including CAREFILTER help reduce the radiation dose to the patient and examiner considerably. For radiation dose indication during normal use of the equipment, the system is equipped with a measurement system based on an ionization chamber calibrated in air kerma area product. Measures for reducing radiation exposure Please pay attention to the fact that the air kerma is increased by the following settings:  Higher kV  Higher mAs  Higher ms  Smaller SID  Selection of Fluoro curves 1 to 3 in OGP  Higher frame rate  Change of zoom status: zoom 0 --> zoom 3 Please observe the following: Radiation may be released only by authorized operators or persons with proper authorization to apply ionized radiation. Fluoroscopy 1. Release fluoroscopy for as short a time as possible, use the LIH function! 2. Use the dose-saving fluoroscopy with CAREVISION! 3. Collimate radiation-free in the LIH image. You can also set the filter diaphragms in the LIH image without radiation: CAREPROFILE 4. Position the patient radiation-free in the LIH image: CAREPOSITION. 5. If possible, ensure the best possible protection of the patient during acquisitions in the vicinity of the reproductive organs (use gonadal shields, lead-lined rubber covers). 6. Keep the radiation field as small as possible without reducing the active measuring field. 7. Remove all radiopaque parts from the radiographic field, if possible. 8. Set the X-ray tube voltage as high as possible (not forgetting the image quality; the optimum is 63 kV for iodine contrast). 9. Set the X-ray tube to skin distance as large as is reasonable for each examination. A larger focal spot to skin distance leads to a lower air kerma. The maximum air kerma of 2 Gy must not be exceeded. Recommendation: Change the projection and the air kerma entrance area. H. Radiation protection for the patient 1. If possible, ensure the best possible protection of the patient during acquisitions in the vicinity of the reproductive organs (use gonadal shields, lead-lined rubber covers). 2.

Radiation protection for the examiner CAUTION Failure to observe radiation protection regulations Unnecessary radiation exposure to personnel  This system produces X-rays.  Wear protective clothing such as lead aprons.  Monitor radiation exposure using personal dosimeters. 1. If possible, release the acquisition series in the control room. 2. Stay in the examination area as short as possible. 3. If the exposure is to be released in the examination room, use an additional radiation shield (protection for upper and lower body) or radiation-proof window. These measures contribute greatly to your personal radiation protection. 4. If the protective shields are not used, wear radiation protection clothing with a 0.25 mm lead layer or similar clothing. 5. Keep the maximum distance from the source of radiation. 6. Check your personal dose by wearing a radiation monitoring badge or a pen dosimeter. Switching off in an emergency If a problem, for example a defect, occurs during the examination and radiation can no longer be interrupted by letting go of the radiation release button:  Press the nearest emergency STOP button. Avoiding unwanted radiation  Before starting system movements, make sure that the foot switch for fluoroscopy and radiography in the examination room is not in the travel range of the receptor system.

Reducing radiation with C.A.R.E. The C.A.R.E. package (Combined Applications to Reduce Exposure) comprises:  CAREFILTER  CAREPROFILE  CAREPOSITION  CAREVISION  CAREWATCH Please contact your Siemens Healthineers sales engineer for information about C.A.R.E. radiation protection. CAREFILTER The CAREFILTER function comprises various copper filters. They filter out the low-energy components of the X-ray spectrum that are not necessary to make the image. This causes hardening of the beam, reducing not only the air kerma for the patient but also the scattered radiation for the examiner. Automatic dose rate control calculates the water equivalent of the patient from the current kV/mA values and the pulse width. The additional copper filter is automatically moved in or out of the beam path as a function of this value during acquisition if the image quality becomes unacceptable because of a very high patient density. The CAREFILTER function is automated and cannot be operated manually. CAREPROFILE With CAREPROFILE, the positions of the multileaf collimator and the filter diaphragms are displayed graphically in the last fluoroscopic or acquisition image. In this way, you can change the collimation without additional radiation release. CAREPOSITION CAREPOSITION allows you to reposition the patient with the aid of the last fluoroscopic image (LIH) without additional fluoroscopy. CAREVISION With CAREVISION, you have at your disposal a selection of fluoroscopy modes with different pulse rates that you can use to reduce the patient dose considerably. CAREWATCH SIEMENS Unrestricted Published by Siemens Healthcare GmbH © Siemens Healthcare GmbH, 2020 Healthineers Master Template Effective Date: 5 MAR 2020 | HOOD05162003074494 Job Aid Effective Date: 4 May 2020 I HOOD05162003188054 Job Aid Lotus Max: System Safety Effective Date: 05/04/2021 I HOOD05162003188054 With a dose measuring chamber (mandatory in some countries), the dose-area product and the patient dose (air kerma) are shown on the data display and on the system console and recorded in the examination data. The dose measuring chamber must be calibrated at regular intervals. This calibration is done under the terms of a service contract. If you do not have a service contract, Customer Service or the manufacturer can calibrate the dose measuring chamber. H.  During fluoroscopy or acquisition The current values of the patient dose rate  Without radiation The accumulated values of the patient dose or the relative patient dose in percent (%) related to a configurable limiting value (usually 2 Gy) (configurable. Contact your Siemens Healthineers representative, if you prefer a different display.) As well as:  Permanently The accumulated dose-area product If the dose-area product exceeds a certain limit value, radiation injury (initially reddening of skin) can occur on the patient. This information allows the examiner to avoid radiation injury, for example by changing H. the angulation. Display data During digital fluoroscopy and when a Fluoro LIH image or Fluoro loop is displayed, the following system parameters are displayed in the control area of the live monitor and on the Touchscreen:  Cu filter for fluoroscopy  Cu filter for exposure  Dose-area product in μGycm² (With dose-area product meter only )  Dose or dose rate during fluoroscopy  Error text  Door open display  Emergency power supply  X-ray disable display 2.18.

The phantom should be positioned on the tabletop as closely as possible to the X-ray image receptor. The measurement detector should be placed midway between the phantom’s focus and entry surface. The measurement values are then calculated for the location of the patient entry reference point (30 cm above the patient support).
