SECTION 6 MAINTENANCE
The purpose of this Periodic Maintenance is to guaranty a continue safe
performance of the Unit, to increase serviceability, to reduce costs (down time,
repairs, etc.) and to assure the safety (personal risk).
The following checks and maintenance procedures, at the suggested intervals,
are the manufacturer’s recommendation for the most effective Periodic
Maintenance schedule for this Portable Unit.
Service tasks here described must be performed exclusively by service
personnel specifically trained on medical X-ray Generators.
The first periodic maintenance service should be performed six (6) months after
installation and the subsequent services every twelve (12) months. Periodic
Maintenance Service depends on the working load of the Unit.
6.1 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Prior to any periodic maintenance procedure, it is recommended to perform a
test exposure using the same operating factors and conditions as for a typical
exposure.
Perform the X-ray Tube warm-up procedure if the Tube has not been in use one
after the last exposure.
Before performing X-ray exposures ensure that the Tube is
properly warmed-up. Make sure that no people will be
inadvertently exposed to unnecessary X-rays during this
procedure.
