2-4Emergency Stop and System Recovery
Your system has a large red Emergency Stop button at an accessible location in
your imaging facility. This button removes all power from the system. The Emer-
gency Stop button or circuit breaker should be used for emergencies only.
2-5Emergency Stop Recovery
After an emergency, if you have used the Emergency Stop button, or turned the
main circuit breaker off, the system can be returned to normal operation by follow-
ing the System Start Up procedures.
When the system returns to normal operation, data acquisition sessions in
progress will appear on the control console screen. Images that have been
acquired and not saved will be recovered so user can save images.
If the emergency stop is activated at power-up, the system will fail to complete the
boot process. The operator will need to release the emergency STOP and per-
form a reset of the system.
2-6System Recovery
There is a gray
System Reset
button on the upper left corner of the control con-
sole. This button resets the software if a program becomes locked during an appli-
cation. Use this button to reset the software and system applications program.
2-7Procedure for Tube Warm Up
This procedure can be performed at your console to preheat the X–ray tube target
before you begin your diagnostic examination. Pre–heating the target can extend
the life of the tube and prevent damage to the X–ray tube assembly.
Use this procedure to warm up the tube when an exposure has not been made
within 2 hours.
1.
Check the room to make sure it is clear of all personnel before making X–ray
exposures.
•
Do not have a patient or other people in the room while performing tube
warm ups.
2-8Bar Code Scanner Option
The digital system can now interface with a Bar code scanner to allow for more
efficient and accurate entry of alphanumeric data that would otherwise have been
entered via the keyboard.
During Review mode, the bar code scanner provides direct access to patient files
for review and update.
PRESS THE EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON ANYTIME THERE IS AN
EMERGENCY CONDITION. THIS REMOVES ALL POWER FROM THE
X–RAY SYSTEM.
