The Faxitron CT should be set up by a Hologic authorized representative. Contact your local
representative to confirm that the system has arrived and to arrange a time for system installation
and setup.
Inspecting the Crates
The Faxitron CT System arrives in one large wooden crate. Have the shipping agent transport the
crates to an area where they can be kept safe from theft, damage, and environmental extremes
until an authorized representative can install the system.
Check crate for any damage. If it appears to be damaged, contact Hologic at +1 520-399-8139.
The crate is about 5 feet tall. It contains the specimen unit, the display monitor, the computer, and
the system manuals.
Lifting and Transporting the Crates
Caution: The crate weighs approximately 315 pounds (140 kg). The packaged system should be
kept upright as indicated on the shipping crates.
Unpacking and Installing the System
The Faxitron CT system will be unpacked and assembled on site by a Hologic authorized
representative. Please contact your local representative when your system arrives to arrange for
system setup.
During Installation, the representative will conduct a radiation scan, safety and operational test
–
see Section 8 for details.
Location & Building Requirements
The Faxitron CT system has ventilation and the power entry connector is at the rear of the cabinet.
Leave at least 6” (15cm) of clear space behind the unit when installed to allow the air to flow and
give the user access to disconnect the power cord.
The system is mobile and can be transported across a smooth floor. Avoid going over any uneven
floors as the internal imaging system is sensitive to shocks.
