There is no X-ray tube warm-up required. 5 Day One Hardware Features Notes Notes Tableside Controls Emergency Stop All system drives are shut down and movements are stopped immediately. Movements can only be resumed when Emergency Stop is cancelled. Emergency Stop Reset • Turn the Emergency Stop button clockwise and release. System movements are now enabled. SIEMENS Multic Fusion Bucky Tray • The bucky tray has a brake handle for positioning of the bucky tray for table exposures. 6 Day One Ceiling-Mounted X-Ray Tube Notes Notes Tube Movement Control Elements – Left Side • Tube rotation about the vertical axis Com • Tube vertical movement up and down – manual • Tube movement up – motorized • Tube movement down – motorized Tube Movement Control Elements – Right Side • Tube movement transverse – detents (green LED) • Tube movement longitudinal – SID detents to wallstand (green LED) • Tube angulation – cranial and caudal • Tube movement transverse, longitudinal and vertical.

If enabled, all tube, KA table and wallstand movement controls are disabled. KA 8 Day One Touch User Interface (TUI) (continued) Notes Top Alignment. When collimating top to bottom, the tube will move up to place the center of the X-ray beam higher on the detector. Very useful on patients with smaller chests. • Wallstand tilt at 0 degrees • Tube detented • No tube angulation – horizontal to wallstand • Detector orientation of portrait only • Landscape orientation is detector at top position in bucky tray Increase Value. Applies to kV, mAs, ms (exposure time) and density correction (for AEC exposures). Function must first be + selected before Increase Value is active. Decrease Value. Applies to kV, mAs, ms (exposure time) and density correction (for AEC exposures). Function must first be selected before Decrease Value is active. Selection of small and large focal spots. 0/0 Dose level (Low, Medium, High). For AEC exposures only. It is recommended to use 2.50 the “U” setting for standard dose exposures. uGy Density correction (for AEC only). Values range from +2 to -2, in 0.5 increments. +2.0 kV selector. Values range from 40 to 150 and are based on the Siemens exposure 117 point system. KV 9 Day One Touch User Interface (TUI) (continued) Notes SID Tracking. Can be used on table or wallstand.

Some points to remember are: • When not activated, the icon will have a blue diagonal line through it. All system movements should be possible. • When active, the icon will be backlit and have a reddish diagonal line through it. All buttons on the tube, wall buckyand table are disabled and no system movement is possible. Top Alignment Top Alignment is designed to allow for the re-centering of the X-ray beam when you collimate top to bottom. An example would be a smaller adult or a child chest X-ray. When you collimate top to bottom, the X-ray beam automatically centers higher to place the center of the beam in the center of the thorax, not over the abdomen. The more closely you collimate top to bottom, the higher the beam center becomes. When this icon is active, it will be backlit. Some conditions must be met for Top Alignment to be active: • The wall bucky is tilted to 0 degrees (there is no tilt) • You must be on detent to the wall bucky and to the correct SID • The X-ray tube is angled at 90 degrees (horizontal) • The detector must be inserted in portrait (14x17 lengthwise) orientation • For top alignment in landscape (crosswise) orientation, the detector must be inserted in the bucky tray at the top of the tray, not centered. Once top alignment is active in landscape orientation, you cannot de-select it. If top alignment is not desired in landscape orientation, then center the detector in the bucky tray. • If the Top Alignment icon appears grayed-out, then some of the conditions have not been fulfilled. 32 Step-by-Step Exercises Troubleshooting SID Tracking Notes Notes Notes SID Tracking, or Source to Image DistanceTracking, allows the user Insert image 720 to change the height of the bucky tray and have the tube follow to maintain the SID. This can be done at the table or wall bucky. When SID Tracking is active, the icon will be backlit. Some conditions must be met for SID Tracking to function: Wall Bucky • The wall bucky is tiltable and is tilted to 90 degrees (horizontal) • X-ray tube must be detented in X and Y planes above tilted wall bucky • X-ray tube angulation must be 0 degrees, +/- 3 degrees. • SID must be greater than 33 inches • The detector must be inserted into the wall bucky tray Table Bucky • The X-ray tube is in detent to the table bucky grid • X-ray tube angulation is 0 degrees, +/- 3 degrees • SID is greater than 33 inches • The detector must be inserted into the table bucky tray If these conditions cannot be or have not been fulfilled when the SID Tracking button is pressed, then the icon will appear dark pink. This indicates that SID Tracking is lost. The function is active, but not all of the requirements for tracking have been met. HO Here are some things to look for when SID Tracking is lost: 1. If at the wall bucky, make sure the bucky is horizontal and not tilted 2. Make sure the X-ray tube is not angled more than 3 degrees 3. If at the table bucky, make sure the table height is not too high or low, meaning the tube cannot maintain an SID greater than 33 inches When it comes to Top Alignment and SID Tracking, the optimal workflow is to fulfill all of the requirements for that function first, then activate the function with the icon. 33 Step-by-Step Exercises Troubleshooting ACSS Notes Notes Notes ACSS stands for Automatic Collimator Size Selection. Simply put, this is automatic collimation: when active, you cannot collimate larger than the detector size, but you can collimate smaller. ACSS has a couple of conditions that must be met for it to be active: • The bucky tray must be pushed all the way in (table or wall) • The detector must be centered in the table bucky tray in landscape(crosswise) orientation Key Points 1. When the bucky tray is pushed in, ACSS will be displayed on the LCD display of the tube. This indicates that ACSS is active. 2. If you see ‘Manual” on the tube after pushing the bucky tray in, then ACSS is not active. This is usually a result of not pushing the bucky tray all the way in, or the detector is not centered when in landscape orientation in the table bucky tray. **You cannot make an exposure in the table or wall bucky if ACSS is not active. Remember, ACSS only applies to exposures in the table and wall bucky. It does not apply to tabletop exposures. The Message Field • The Message Field is the area of the Touch User Interface next to where the system green “Ready” field is displayed with the check 117 H 115cm AV 2.0 HUID mark, indicating an exposure can be made. + • This is also the area where system error STOP messages are displayed. HBO 117 +2.0 I IDO & A + xxxcm + 34 Step-by-Step Exercises Troubleshooting The Message Field (continued) Notes Notes Notes • The various messages that may be displayed are as follows: • The bucky tray is open (table or wall); no exposure • The Emergency Stop button has been activated STOP • The SID on the wall bucky is not defined (not in detent); • Undefined image receptor (detector not centered);Insert image 800 no exposure. • Call Service • Generator not ready; no exposure X Key Points 1. If there are more than 3 messages, only one will be displayed. 2. If there are 3 or fewer messages, all will be displayed. 35 Notes 36 Notes 37 On account of certain regional limitations of sales rights and service availability, we cannot guarantee that all products included in this brochure are available through the Siemens sales organization worldwide.
