SAFETY NOTICE:
This manual contains important operating and safety information. An understanding of this information is critical to the safe operation and long term reliability of your equipment. Please ensure that you read the warning notices before using this equipment. Revision A Page 5
Introduction
GENERATOR DUTY CYCLE LIMIT NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SECTION CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION. PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MATERIAL BEFORE CONTINUING.
Internal X-ray generator components will heat up during normal use of the generator. This is similar to X-ray tube heating during normal generator operation. The amount of heat produced is proportional to the product of kV, mA, and time Modern X-ray generators are designed to operate with the majority of X-ray tubes over their rated power ranges. They are designed for operating duty cycles consistent with practical patient examination routines that allow for reasonable cooling intervals between X-ray exposures. Insufficient cooling time between exposures may lead to excessive heat build - up in the generator, which may cause serious generator damage. This X-ray generator has internal duty cycle monitoring to warn of excessive heat build - up. If the generator calculates that the next exposure will exceed the rated generator duty cycle limit, a warning message GEN DUTY WARNING will be displayed. Exposures will not be inhibited when this message is displayed, but it should be understood that continuing to make exposures might cause generator damage due to overheating. If possible, the generator should be allowed to cool sufficiently such that this message is no longer displayed.
DAILY X-RAY TUBE WARM-UP PROCEDURE

CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE PRODUCES PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT PERSONNEL. X-RAYS. OBSERVE ALL SAFETY
Use this procedure when the generator is first turned on for the day, or when it has not been used for several hours. This procedure provides for exposures at medium power before the tube is used at maximum mA or kV values. This will reduce the possibility of damaging the anode and high voltage components. No test setup is required. For maximum stability and reliability, use the following techniques at start up: Select the following:

Large focal spot 80 kV Normal 50/60 Hz anode rotation
For a 300 kHU to a 400 kHU tube, use approximately 200 mAs per exposure. For a 200 kHU to 300 kHU tube use approximately 150 mAs per exposure. Depending on the X-ray tube power rating, select either 100 mA or 200 mA. Make one (1) to three (3) exposures (depending on tube loading) at 30 second intervals.

Safety and Specifications
X-ray radiation exposure may be damaging to health, with some effects being cumulative and extending over periods of many months or even years. X-ray operators should avoid any exposure to the primary beam and take protective measures to safeguard against scatter radiation. Scatter radiation is caused by any object in the path of the primary beam and may be of equal or less intensity than the primary beam that exposes the film. No practical design can incorporate complete protection for operators or service personnel who do not take adequate safety precautions. Only authorized and properly trained service and operating personnel should be allowed to work with this X-ray generator equipment. The appropriate personnel must be made aware of the inherent dangers associated with the servicing of high voltage equipment and the danger of excessive exposure to X-ray radiation during system operation.

Wear protective clothing. Protective aprons with an equivalent of a minimum of 1/64 (0.35 mm) of lead are recommended. To protect the patient against radiation, always use radiation protection accessories in addition to devices which are fitted to the X-ray equipment. Keep as large a distance as possible away from the object being exposed and the X-ray tube assembly. This X-ray equipment may only be operated in medical rooms which meet IEC requirements. Never operate this X-ray equipment in areas where there is a risk of explosion. Detergents and disinfectants, including those used on patients, may create explosive mixtures of gases. Please observe the relevant regulations. The operator console, or anything electrically connected to it, must never be used within 6 ft (1.8 m) of the patient environment. Only trained maintenance staff may remove the covers of the generator cabinet and the control console. Do not connect unapproved equipment to the rear of the console: J5 is for the interconnect cable to the generator main cabinet, J2 is a serial port for use by an external computer, and J13 is for connection of an external hand switch and / or foot switch. INCORRECT CONNECTIONS OR USE OF UNAPPROVED EQUIPMENT MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. CONSULT YOUR SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE IF EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT IS TO BE CONNECTED TO THIS SYSTEM. PERIPHERAL DEVICES SHOULD BE IEC 601-1 APPROVED IF LOCATED IN THE PATIENT AREA, AND IEC 950 APPROVED IF OUTSIDE THE PATIENT AREA.
CAUTION:
DO NOT EXCEED THE TUBE MAXIMUM OPERATING LIMITS SHOWN IN THE SECTION XRAY TUBE DATA AT THE END OF THE OPERATORS MANUAL. INTENDED LIFE AND RELIABILITY WILL NOT BE OBTAINED UNLESS GENERATORS ARE OPERATED WITHIN PUBLISHED SPECIFICATIONS.

Emission: EN55011 (CISPR Publications II Emission Standards, Group 1 Class A).
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)

In accordance with the intended use, this X-ray generator complies with the European Council Directive concerning Medical Devices. The CE marking affixed to this product signifies this. One of the harmonized standards of this Directive defines the permitted levels of electromagnetic emission from this equipment and its required immunity from the electromagnetic emissions of other devices. It is not possible, however, to exclude with absolute certainty the possibility that other high frequency electronic equipment, which is fully compliant to the EMC regulations, will not adversely affect the operation of this generator. If the other equipment has a comparatively high level of transmission power and is in close proximity to the generator, these EMC concerns (the risk of interference) may be more pronounced. It is therefore recommended that the operation of equipment of this type such as mobile telephones, cordless microphones and other similar mobile radio equipment be restricted from the vicinity of this X-ray generator.

DAP - DOSE AREA PRODUCT (OPTIONAL) The DAP function is only available if the optional DAP device is installed in the X-ray system, and if the DAP function has been enabled in programming. Any references made to tube 2 or the ability to switch tubes apply to two tube generators only. DAP Overview The DAP device(s) must be allowed to stabilize when the generator is switched on, and the first time when switching from tube 1 to tube 2 or from tube 2 to tube 1. During this time, when the DAP device is settling, the DAP display will indicate --------. X-Ray exposures may be made during this time, but the DAP function will be disabled during the settling period. The settling period may last up to a few minutes after the generator is switched on. The DAP device for the tube that is selected when the generator is switched on is automatically tested by the generator after the settling period. If the DAP device passes the self-test, the DAP readout will display its last setting. This indicates that the DAP is functional, and ready to measure the dose-area product. If the DAP self-test fails, an error message will be presented, and the DAP readout will display --------. This indicates that the DAP is not functional. When switching to the other tube for the first time in that session (from tube 1 to tube 2 or from tube 2 to tube 1), the DAP device associated with that tube will be tested. As in the previous step, the DAP readout will display its last setting to indicate that the DAP is functional, or -------- to indicate that the DAP is not functional. The installer may program the generator to present an audible warning, along with a visual alarm via the LCD display on the console, to indicate that preset limits for accumulated DAP or DAP rate have been reached. * DAP ACCUM WARN will display to indicate that the accumulated dose exceeds the programmed accumulated dose-area product limit. * DAP RATE WARN will display to indicate that the current dose rate exceeds the programmed dose rate limit. A reading of 0mGycm2 indicates that the DAP display has been manually reset as described later in this section, and that no exposures have been taken since it was reset. Always check local regulations to determine how frequently the DAP device must be tested. The procedure to test the DAP follows later in this section.

The DAP display may be manually reset to zero as described in DAP Reset / Test, below. The DAP measures and displays cumulative dose per unit area when in RAD mode. It may be programmed to measure and display the dose-area product for each tube individually, or to sum the readings from both tubes. This is installer programmable. In fluoroscopy mode, the DAP may be programmed to display accumulated dose2 2 area product (mGycm ), or DAP rate (mGycm /s). If programmed to display DAP rate, the DAP rate display will be in reverse video during fluoroscopic operation. When the fluoro run is finished, the DAP display will revert to normal video, and the accumulated dose will be displayed. The DAP rate feature for fluoro operation is installer programmable. The maximum accumulated reading on the DAP display is 9999999. An error message will be presented when this limit is reached.
DAP Reset / Test The DAP display(s) may be reset to zero, and a manual DAP functional test may be performed when desired, as described below. 1. In order to select the DAP device to test, select a receptor that is programmed for the desired tube / DAP device (tube 1 or tube 2). This will also select the DAP to reset if programmed for individual dose-area product readings for each tube. If the two DAP readings are summed, the reset function may be performed on either the tube 1 or tube 2 selection. The DAP display is common to both tubes, therefore the DAP display may be reset at either the tube 1 or tube 2 tube position. If the generator is programmed for individual DAP measurements for each tube, and you are intending to reset the DAP display, confirm that the correct tube / DAP device is selected before continuing. 2. Press the button at the main APR menu when DAP is displayed at the bottom center of the LCD screen. This will present the DAP reset / test menu. Press RESET to reset the DAP display to zero. Press TEST to test the DAP. The message DAP TEST: OK will be presented if the DAP has passed its test. Repeat for the other tube if desired.

kV - mAs REDUCTION FOR PERIPHERAL ANGIOGRAPHY (optional)
When interfaced to a special procedures stepping table, this option enables the Indico 100 generator to sequentially select varying radiographic techniques as the patient is moved over the image receptor. The kV and / or the mAs may be set to track changes in the anatomy of the patient for each of the table steps. When kV / mAs stepping is enabled, five kV / mAs sequences will be available, with each sequence containing six kV / mAs steps. The kV and mAs is programmable for each step as described later in this section. SELECTING THE TABLE STEPPER FUNCTION 1. Select the image receptor that is configured for peripheral angiography. The radiographic display will indicate a preselected and possibly arbitrary kV and mAs value. The first exposure in the exposure sequence will not necessarily use those kV and mAs values. The kV and mAs used for the exposure sequence will be as per steps 1 to 6 in the console LCD display window. The LCD display window will display the first kV - mAs stepping screen (PER. SHIFT1) as shown. The sample screens below do not show the secondary displays i.e. tube number, %HU, time etc. Also, the kV and mAs values may differ from the sample screens. * PER.

Use these steps to edit the programmed APR techniques. NOTE: BEFORE MAKING CHANGES TO THE DEFAULT APR TECHNIQUES, PLEASE RECORD ALL CURRENT DEFAULTS. THESE DEFAULTS MAY BE RECORDED IN COPIES OF THE APR PROGRAMMING WORKSHEET AT THE END OF THIS CHAPTER. 1. 2. From the GENERATOR SETUP menu select APR EDITOR. Press the APR EDITOR button to toggle between ENABLED and DISABLED. DISABLED does not allow editing and then saving the changed APR technique(s). ENABLED allows the operator to change the default APR techniques, and then save the changes. The APR will then default to the newly saved techniques. The generator stores the last APR editor setting prior to being switched OFF. If the APR editor was previously ENABLED, APR changes may subsequently be made and then saved in normal operating mode without the need to manually set the APR editor to ENABLED. To disable this feature, the APR editor must be set to DISABLED. With the APR EDITOR set to ENABLED, return to normal operation by pressing EXIT SETUP. The following menu is displayed.

Perform the APR technique change as outlined below. Select the desired APR menu to be edited; for example SKULL. Select the desired APR view to edit, for example SKULL AP/PA, vertical image receptor. Select the patient size to edit within that view, for example medium. All techniques with the exception of kV will be common to all patient sizes. The common techniques for all patient sizes within that view should be programmed first, then the desired kV for the selected patient size. After these techniques are saved per the remainder of this section, kV values may be programmed if desired for the other patient sizes in the same APR view. The default selections are shown on the console, for example. 70 kV, 100 mA, 20 ms, technique = mA/ms, large focus.
9.
10. Change the technique to the desired value(s). Parameters that may be edited are: kV, mA/mAs, time (ms), technique select ( / mAs / mA/ms), focus, image receptor, plus film screen, density and field selection in AEC mode. The APR view being edited will be highlighted with a rectangular outline as soon as any parameter is changed within that view. Also the word SAVE will appear in the display window above the reset button. 11. Continue making all desired APR changes within that view. 12. When finished, press the button. This is the first step necessary to save the changes. This also allows the option of canceling the changes in the next step. 13. If you do not wish to save the changes, press EXIT to abort the SAVE function. To save the changes, press the button under SAVE. The message SAVING DATA... will briefly appear. 14. Press to return to the main APR screen.
15. You may now make changes to other APR techniques if desired by repeating the above steps 6 to 14. 16. It is suggested that the APR editor be set to DISABLED as described earlier in this section, in order to avoid unintended APR changes in the future. MAKING CHANGES TO THE APR TEXT The anatomical sections and views as displayed in the APR window may be altered to suit your requirements, but you will need to contact your service representative to have this done. Use copies of the worksheet on the next page to record your desired changes. One sheet should be used per APR view, the master copy should be photocopied as many times as necessary to record the required changes.

GENERATOR EXPOSURE TABLES
Table 1 following shows mAs values resulting from preselected mA and ms values (3 point operation). This table also shows the range and interrelation of these loading factors. For example, if in AEC operation it is known that the preset backup mAs limit is 50 mAs and 100 mA is chosen for that technique, then the maximum length of exposure possible (at which time the backup mAs limit is reached) is 500 ms. In the above example, read down the 100 mA column to the 50 mAs value. Then read across to the left side of the page to the 500 ms value, this will be the maximum time allowed for the stated conditions. Please review the note at the bottom of page 56. This details AEC backup options that are available. IEC 60601-2-7 requires that this information be provided in a form suitable to be displayed at a prominent location on or near the control console of the generator. To this end, an extra copy of table 1 is provided on pages 52 and 53 which may be photocopied as required, or removed from this manual and placed in a suitable location as per local requirements.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
This section is organized into two parts. The first part of this section details tests by which the operator can verify that the AEC and ABS circuits are functioning, and that there are no apparent defects in the console or associated equipment. These tests should be done monthly as a minimum, or more frequently if required by local regulations.
CAUTION: THE AEC AND ABS VERIFICATION PROCEDURES REQUIRE THE PRODUCTION OF XRAYS. OBSERVE CORRECT OPERATING PROCEDURES, AND TAKE APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS AGAINST X-RADIATION.
The second part of this section is the recommended maintenance schedule for your generator. This maintenance schedule is recommended for all Indico 100 series X-ray generators.
WARNING: REFER ALL SERVICING TO APPROPRIATE SERVICE PERSONNEL WHO ARE TRAINED TO SERVICE THIS EQUIPMENT AND WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE POTENTIAL HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS EQUIPMENT. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE FREQUENCY MAY BE DETERMINED BY CERTAIN REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS OF THE COUNTRY OR STATE IN WHICH THE INSTALLATION IS LOCATED. ALWAYS CHECK THE LOCAL CODES AND REGULATIONS WHEN DETERMINING A MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
NOTE:

Maintenance Schedule
AEC FUNCTIONAL CHECK The following procedure may be used to verify that the AEC circuits are functioning on generators equipped with AEC (automatic exposure control). 1. 2. Switch the generator ON, and select an appropriate radiographic image receptor. Align the X-ray tube and the selected image receptor such that the central ray is directly over the center field of the AEC pickup device. Set the focal spot to film plane distance to 40 in. (1 m). Select AEC mode of operation. Select center field, large focus. MINIMUM EXPOSURE TIME: With no object in the radiation field, adjust the collimator or beam limiting device to project a 10 in. X 10 in. (24 cm X 24 cm) field at the image receptor. Select 80 kVp, 100 mA, and a backup mAs of 50 if it is operator selectable. If this is not operator selectable, the default AEC backup settings must be used. Refer to the note at the end of this page to determine the AEC backup mode that has been programmed. Make an exposure and verify that the POST mAs reading is 2 mAs. MAXIMUM EXPOSURE TIME: Close the collimator or beam limiting device completely. Place a folded lead apron over the image receptor. Select 60 kVp, 100 mA, and a backup mAs of 50 if it is operator selectable. If this is not operator selectable, the default backup settings must be used. Refer to the note at the end of this page to determine the AEC backup mode that has been programmed. Make an exposure and verify that the error message AEC BUT ERROR or AEC BU MAS ERR is indicated in the APR display window after the exposure has terminated. This confirms that the exposure has continued until it was terminated by the AEC backup timer.

6. 7. 8.
9.
NOTE: The AEC backup mode is installer programmable. Three modes are available, FIXED, MAS, and MS. Only the MAS mode allows the operator to set the backup mAs for an AEC exposure. FIXED: The generator will determine the maximum AEC backup time, not to exceed preset AEC backup mAs/ms values or system limits. The characters AEC will be displayed in the time window of the LED display during AEC operation. MAS: Allows the operator to adjust the AEC backup mAs, not to exceed preset AEC backup mAs/ms values or system limits. The mAs value will be displayed in the time window of the LED display during AEC operation. MS: Allows the operator to adjust the AEC backup ms, not to exceed preset AEC backup mAs/ms values or system limits. The ms value will be displayed in the time window of the LED display during AEC operation.

ABS FUNCTIONAL CHECK The following procedure may be used to verify that the ABS circuits are functioning on generators equipped with ABS (automatic brightness stabilization). 1. 2. 3. Switch the generator ON, and select an appropriate fluoroscopic image receptor. Select ABS mode. The indicator LED adjacent to the ABS selector button on the control console or on the remote fluoro control will be lit to indicate that ABS is ON. Open the collimator or beam limiting device shutters to maximum. With no object in the image field, press the fluoro footswitch. Confirm that the collimator or beam limiting device is fully open by observing the monitor. While continuing to press the fluoro footswitch, note the fluoro kV display at the control console or remote fluoro control. This should be less than 55 kV. Close the collimator or beam limiting device and press the fluoro footswitch. With no object in the image field, ensure that the radiation is fully blocked by observing the monitor. If necessary, cover the image intensifier with lead aprons to block all radiation. While continuing to press the fluoro footswitch, note the fluoro kV display at the control console or remote fluoro control. This should be the maximum available fluoro kV, 110 kV or 125 kV (depending on whether the upper fluoro kV limit has been set to 110 kV or 125 kV). Place an absorber (20 cm of water, or 1.5 in. (3.8 cm) of pure aluminum, or equivalent) in the center of the image field. Press the fluoro footswitch. While viewing the absorber on the monitor, open the collimator or beam limiting device sufficiently to cover as much of the absorber as possible. Ensure that the X-ray beam does not extend beyond the sides of the absorber as stray radiation will adversely affect the kVp reading in the next step. While continuing to press the fluoro footswitch, note the fluoro kV display at the control console or remote fluoro control. This should stabilize between 70 and 80 kVp.

CONSOLE AND MISCELLANEOUS GENERATOR CHECKS The user must routinely check the X-ray equipment for apparent defects or damage. Report any apparent defects or irregular operation of any equipment to service personnel immediately, and discontinue use of the suspected faulty equipment until repairs are made. Continuing operation with faulty equipment may present various safety hazards, including risk of increased radiation. 1. 2. 3. Check all visual displays (warning and status lights, technique displays and indicators, etc) for normal operation. Check all audible indicators (speakers, beepers, etc) for normal operation, and check that the loudness settings are adequate for the environment. Check all interconnect cables and connectors for damage.
Revision A Page 57
MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES IN THE TABLE BELOW ARE TO BE PERFORMED BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY. HOWEVER THE OWNER OR OPERATOR OF THE EQUIPMENT MUST SCHEDULE THE SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE ACTIVITY WHEN REQUIRED BY CONTACTING THEIR LOCAL SERVICE AGENCY. Maintenance Frequency As governed by local regulations Every 6 Months AND whenever a related certifiable X-ray component is replaced: Description of Preventative Maintenance Check and recalibrate the DAP meter in the generator. 1. 2. Clean and re-grease all HV connections using vapour proof compound. Clean the control console, remote fluoro control (if used) and main cabinet as needed. REFER TO NEXT PAGE, CLEANING, BEFORE PROCEEDING Perform the X-ray tube auto calibration routine. Verify the calibration of the generator. Perform any additional tests required by laws governing this installation. Examine the following for any visible damage and replace any damaged components: 2. The exterior of the control console and remote fluoro control if used, including the membrane switch assembly. The cable between the control console and the generator main cabinet and between the remote fluoro control (if used) and generator main cabinet. The hand switch and fluoro footswitch (if used) and the cables connecting these to the console.
3. 4. 5. Every 12 months: 1.
Open the generator cabinet and examine the unit for any visible damage: missing or loose ground connections, oil leaks, damaged cables etc.
3. Every 5 years:
Ensure that there are no obstructions blocking the ventilation holes at the top of the cabinet, or the louvers on the front door panels. Replace the lithium batteries on the CPU board in the control console and on the generator CPU board in the main cabinet with the same manufacturer and type as identified on the original batteries.
Revision A
Page 58
CLEANING Never use anything other than soap and water to clean plastic surfaces. Other cleaners may damage the plastic. Never use any corrosive, solvent or abrasive detergents or polishes. Ensure that no water or other liquid can enter any equipment. This precaution prevents short circuits and corrosion forming on components. Methods of disinfection used must conform to legal regulations and guidelines regarding disinfection and explosion protection. If disinfectants are used which form explosive mixtures of gases, these gases must have evaporated before switching on the equipment again. Disinfection by spraying is not recommended because the disinfectant may enter the X-ray equipment. If room disinfection is done with an atomizer, it is recommended that the equipment be switched OFF, allowed to cool down and covered with a plastic sheet. When the disinfectant mist has subsided, the plastic sheet may be removed and the equipment be disinfected by wiping.
