Installation Procedure
Required installation time: 30-60 minutes.
Installation of the Vanguard requires no tools and no mechanical settings to be performed. The accessories
must all be connected and assembled and tested to ensure system is functioning correctly with the scanner.
7.1 Unpack and Set Up
Unpack the Patient Support assembly, padding kit, riser kit (if applicable), and coil boxes while examining the
components for damage. Verify all components and accessories are present including the User Manual.
Store all components neatly inside the scanner room or as instructed by customer.
NOTE: Customers who have purchased the riser kit will have both the standard padding kit and the thicker
riser body pad and riser front pad from the riser kit. You should segregate the standard body pad and front
pad and inform the customer that they may either dispose of these pads or keep them in the event that they
decide to use the Patient Support on a scanner with a curved patient table (GE HDx, GE Discovery 750
System, or GE Discovery 750w System without GEM Option).
The riser must always be used with the thicker riser body pad and riser front pad.

1. Prepare Patient Support and interface box.
2. Position Patient Support to access underside.
