Interlock System
The scanner is equipped with provisions for a low voltage 12 volts DC interlock circuit which,
when opened, will turn off X-ray power. The interlock circuit can be used for a door interlock
switch, a deadman handswitch, or both. Use of the interlock circuit is optional based on site
requirements.
Site Layout
The scanner controller and touch screen electrically connected to the scanner conforms to IEC
60950-1 and 60601-1.
Normally, the scanner controller and touch screen are placed outside the patient environment, but
may be placed inside the patient environment if required by the customer site. The operator
control box must be placed outside of patient environment. All other accessories are suitable for
use in the patient environment. Room layouts must provide a means for audio and visual
communication between the operator and patient. The patient emergency stop control, which can
stop the operation of the X-ray device, must be within reach of the patient when scanning occurs.
IEC 60601-1 defines the “patient environment” as “any volume in which intentional or
unintentional contact can occur between a patient and parts of the ME Equipment or ME System
or between a patient and other persons touching parts of the ME Equipment or ME System.”
Cabling Requirements
Scanner cabling connections must be installed away from walkways and doorways. It is
recommended to run cabling along wall perimeters. If there is a chance of mechanical damage
due to the cable location, then the use of conduit or other means of protection should be
considered.
