Prerequisites / General Information
Important Information Regarding Start-Up
1
The system cabling must be complete.
The system has been preassembled to system level, programmed and also tested at the
factory (see test certificates for generator, unit and image quality measurement, filed in
the system binder). During start-up, only a few checks or tests are required to ensure that
none of the settings has changed.
The results for tests marked must be entered in the test certificate or the image quality
test protocol as indicated for the specific case.
The following tests required for the acceptance test in the Federal Republic of Germany
according to the X-Ray Ordinance, §16, or the acceptance test in the USA, were already
performed and are documented in the test certificates:
According to DHHS Regulations, the following items must be checked:
1.
Documents required for the customer
2.
Radiation protection
3.
DHHS and identification labels

When performing service work and tests, adhere to the product-
specific safety information in the document as well as the general
safety information contained in the ARTD/ Part 2.
The oscilloscope must always be connected to ground. Use the
TEK isolation transformer and the trigger option to avoid interfer-
ence from ground loops that may distort the measurement
results.
- Visual inspection of filter values
- Alignment of radiation field and film center
- Collimation of fluoroscopic field
- Centering of radiation field to center of monitor
- Fluoroscopy dose rate
- Maximum skin dose rate
- Resolution and minimum contrast
- Unit attenuation factor
- Check of kV accuracy
These measurement values and the values determined during the
start-up procedure can be taken from the test certificate and
entered in the Acceptance Test Protocol.
