Using Fisica: 

1.

 

Enter the 

username and password

OK 

on the 

log on screen. Once logged in, the username will be displayed on the 
left hand side of the screen. The warm-up can only be conducted if the 
system is synchronised. 

2.

 

Select 

Tools 

then 

Warm-Up 

to launch the warm-up screen. The system 

will default to the required Warm-Up. The radio buttons can be used to

6.

 

Press X-Rays On 

Note: 

Do not perform interlock checks (e.g. on doors or the key switch) during  a 
warm- up. 

 

Note: 

Warm-ups will take longer if  interrupted 

 

Note: 

If  a  warm  up  has  been  completed  another  cannot  be  requested  without 
removing removing power to the system. 

3.3 

Interrupting an Exposure During the Beam Ramp Up 

If the X-Ray beam is interrupted in any way (for example Door opened, E-
stop, 

Ray  off)  during  the  kV  ramp  (that  is,  without  the  mA  to  load the  kV), it 
will  take  5-8  seconds  for  the  kV  to  drop  below  the  5kV  level.  In  this 
situation  the  HT  ON  indication  continues  (even  though  the  beam  is 
interrupted) until the kV drops below 5kV. This is the correct operation of 
the system in this circumstance. 

If possible, the beam should only be interrupted when the kV has ramped all 
the way  up  and  the  mA  has  started  or  stabilised.  This  can  be  seen  in  the 

‘actual’ kV and mA values on the exposure

 screen. 

 

1.  Operator name must be at least three alphanumeric characters.

 

3.4

Xstrahl X-Ray Therapy System 

can be left powered on with the operator 

pod  key  switch  in
