Mobile option should begin only when the mobile coach has
been prepared according to the specifications.

NOTE Planning and projecting the mobile CT must always be done
according to the planning information described in the
Mobile CT PG and the Definition AS system PG, and must be
strictly followed.
The special mobile CT related information is described in the
Mobile CT PG.
CT related information is described in Definition AS system
PG.

NOTE The trailer manufacturers normally install the CT system
themselves (after their personnel have received the neces-
sary training). If preferred, the trailer manufacturer could use
Hegele to install the system.

NOTE The infrastructure and the site preparation (e.g. availability of
power, water, air conditioning, etc.) has to be finished prior to
system arrival!
For each project, the actual data/information and planning
guides have to be used!
It is in the responsibility of the project manager to check the
intranet for the latest version of the documents.

Safety information for mobile CT
NOTE All Siemens Medical Healthcare components have to be
securely mounted. None of the components may move dur-
ing transportation/travel of the trailer. The mobile manufac-
turer has to adequately secure the (e.g.) cabinets to the floor.

Assembling the IRS at its installation location 3.3
NOTE The IRS is air-cooled by internal ventilators. Unimpaired cir-
culation from the intake and outlet has to be ensured. For
correct cooling, a minimum distance of 100 mm at the back
and 150 mm at the front between the IRS and other objects is
required!
Never put the IRS into a closed cabinet; otherwise, it will
overheat!

NOTE For the exact installation location, refer to the project plan or
ask the on-site project manager. The IRS can also be installed
in a room adjacent to the examination room.

For the installation, fold down the spacers at the back of the IRS. This is necessary to
maintain the minimum distance to the wall.

NOTE The gantry has to stand on its four adjustable feet. The four
adjustable feet have to be directly on concrete, not on a floor
covering.
The floor covering may have to be cut out in some cases to
enable the gantry feet to be directly placed on concrete.
Proceed with great care when pushing or pulling the plastic
gantry covers. Doing so could result in damage or misalign-
ment of the cover panels.
Do not move the gantry across an uneven floor. Hard impact
against the gantry could damage sensitive parts (e.g., ball
bearings).
When transporting the gantry, always check the height and
width of doors and corridors to prevent collisions.
The transport frames have to be uniformly adjusted in height
to prevent the gantry from tilting over.

NOTE The covers of the gantry can be easily damaged. Handle them
with the greatest of care.

Earthquake safety 0
NOTE Adhere to all country-specific requirements and regulations.
In some areas (e.g., earthquake zones), the gantry has to be
anchored to the floor. The anchoring materials have to be
provided by the on-site project manager.

The cable sets are delivered at a length of either 10 m, 16 m, or 25 m, depending on the
order.
NOTE The cables are marked red and green. The red mark is for
the Definition cable length, the green mark is for the Defini-
tion AS cable length.This mark defines the cable length nec-
essary for the internal connection e.g., in the gantry.
If no green mark is available use the red one.

NOTE Fiber optic cables are extremely sensitive and easily dam-
aged. Be extremely careful when routing fiber optic cables.
Fiber optic cables should not be routed until system cabling
is complete.
The minimum bending radius for the fiber optic cable has to
be at least 50 mm.

NOTE If line W4 is shortened, inform the start-up personnel and
enter it in the installation protocol.
Lines may only be shortened by a trained electrician using
the necessary special tools.
The minimum length of cables is 7 m. Do not fall below this
value.
After you shorten the cable, identify it correctly with the sup-
plied label.

NOTE Correct cable routing is the basic prerequisite for a system
that works properly.
For this reason, follow these instructions carefully.

(Installing the Gantry Covers / p. 208).

NOTE All cooling water connections and hoses have to be insu-
lated. Otherwise, excessive condensation will form.

Two water hoses are included in the delivery volume for the system.
The hoses have a pre-installed connector on one side.
The hoses are connected to the back right of the gantry.
The connectors for the other side of the hoses are delivered separately.
These connectors are for the on-site water connection.
The loose end of the hose has to be shortened accordingly and connected to the on-site
water supply using these connectors.

Cleaning the System 11.2
NOTE The system has to be cleaned before being transferred to the
customer.
When cleaning the outer surfaces, only use cleaning agents
recommended by the manufacturer.

Never use sprays. They could seep into assemblies, destroy electrical parts, change
the structure of plastics, or form explosive combinations of air and solvent vapors.
Never use cleaning agents containing the following components or ingredients:
- Abrasive or organic solvents such as aldehyde, acetone, spot remover, benzene, or
alcohol. These can weaken surfaces or cause hairline fractures that will cause the
material to break under any load (Exceptions: alcohol can be used to clean monitor
screens, and aldehyde-based compounds may be used to disinfect the gantry or the
hardened surfaces of the patient table).
- Cleaning agents that can produce ammonia gas through decomposition or evapora-
tion. Ammonia gas causes stress corrosion.
- Cleaning agents containing silicone. Old silicone causes electrical contact problems.
- Phenol-based or chlorine-releasing disinfectants, which can weaken materials.
Permitted and recommended cleaning agents
The following cleaning agents may be used to clean the patient table, the patient table
pad, and patient positioning supports.
- Tego, 10% vol.
- Gigasept, 6% vol.
- Somplex Perfekt AC, 2% vol.
- Melsitt, 10% vol. (slightly discolors surfaces)
- Peform, 2% vol. (slightly discolors surfaces)
Gantry / Patient Table
Clean these components with a damp cloth.
ICS / IRS / IES Computer / UPS
Clean these components with a damp cloth.
Monitors
Monitors have sensitive anti-reflective layers.
Clean the monitors with a soft cloth.
Either pure alcohol or alcohol diluted in distilled water to a ratio of 1:3 or 2:3 may be
used.
Never use solvents.
