4.3. X-RAY EMISSION REMOTE CONTROL
The system is equipped with a remote control to enable X-ray emission.
The remote control has:
1) A button to confirm X-ray emission
2) Two LEDs
a. Green (device ready for emission)
b. Yellow (emission in progress)
When the system is ready (green LED on fixed), you can start X-ray emission by pressing the button on the remote
control and holding it down for the entire duration of the examination.
When the examination is started, the yellow LED on the remote control comes on and simultaneously an acoustic
signal is emitted.
Button pressed Button released
If the button is released before the examination is complete, image acquisition will be interrupted.
If acquisition is interrupted before it is complete, the entire portion of tissue analysed will however be shown on the PC
together with an error message.
If the image is exhaustive, even if partial, the examination does not need to be repeated, thus avoiding subjecting the
patient to a further dose of radiation.
In order to comply with the operator safety regulations on ionising radiation (for clarifications, see the paragraph on
radiation safety), the operator must stand at least 2 metres away from the X-ray device during emission.
4.4. PERFORM A SIMULATION (DUMMY RUN)
Act as follows for the device movements. The operator must:
- Closely watch over the patient, and if there is a risk of collision between the X-ray device and the patient,
immediately interrupt the movement by releasing the control button.
- Not allow the patient to assume incorrect positions (resting the hands or other parts of the body in
inappropriate areas) or to move away from the examination area.
To perform a simulated cycle, a simulation of the projection mode or program selected, but without emission of radiation
(dummy run), hold down the button (CONFIRMATION).
This button must be held down for the entire cycle, otherwise the movement will stop.
This simulation can be useful for particularly emotional patients, especially children, showing them what the
examination consists of without having to leave them alone in the room.
