Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site surveya, should be less than the compliance level in each frequency rangeb. Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:

NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people. a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base station for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land

mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the DRX-Ascend System is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level shown above, the System should be observed to normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the detector. b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 v/m.

Additional Guidance and Manufacturer’s Declaration-Electromagnetic Emissions/Immunity Electromagnetic Compatibility Precautions Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Medical equipment must be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in the following documentation.

Communications Equipment Portable and mobile radio frequency (RF) communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment EMC performance. The wireless version of the CARESTREAM DRX-1 System Detector operates with the 802.11n protocol in the 5 GHz frequency band. The radio output power is 20 dBm (nominal).

WARNING Other equipment can interfere with communications with the CARESTREAM DRX-1 System Detector even if that other equipment complies with CISPR emissions requirements.

Replacement of Cables, Accessories, or Transducers The use of cables, accessories, or transducers other than those specified below, with the exception of transducers or cables sold by the manufacturer of the equipment as replacement parts for internal components, may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the medical equipment.

Other Equipment The DRX-Ascend System should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the DRX-Ascend System should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.

Shielded Locations The DRX-Ascend System must be used in a shielded room for personal safety only. The DRX-Ascend System is fully compliant with the requirements of IEC 60601-1-2:2004 without being located in a shielded room.

General Information

Section 2: General Information Overview of the DRX-Ascend System NOTE The user should read this manual in its entirety prior to using this equipment. This manual should be kept in a location near the equipment and be readily accessible to those who operate it. This document is intended to assist users in the safe and effective operation of the equipment described herein. Pay special attention to all the information described in the Safety section (refer to “Safety and Regulatory Information” on Page 1). It is imperative that all safety procedures described in this manual be strictly adhered to in order to ensure the safety of both patient and user. When the QG-DIG-DRX Integration Software is installed, all user interaction with the HF Series X-ray Generator is accomplished via the Workstation’s touch screen, thereby eliminating the need for a separate Operator Control Panel for the generator. In addition, the optional TechVision Control Panel can be installed and synchronized with the DRX Workstation to optimize operator efficiency.

NOTE TechVision is a functional operator interface control panel providing access to generator controls and visual presentation of the exposures taken in the current study. TechVision is designed for installation in the patient area, and has full programming/editing capability, but it cannot activate an exposure. Once the patient is registered in the DRX System environment and the appropriate body part examination procedure is selected, the generator control parameters are uploaded prior to performing the exposure. The QUANTUM QG-DIG-DRX Integration System technology is available for DRX Series digital detectors, in applications where a QUANTUM Q-Rad System, including an HF Series X-ray Generator is installed. The QG-DIGDRX System software resides on the DRX Workstation Computer hard disk and is automatically loaded whenever the Workstation Computer is powered-up. Combining the image acquisition capacity of the DRX digital detectors with QG-DIG-DRX System software, controlling an HF Series X-ray Generator, work lists compiled from stored patient profiles, or those manually entered, are displayed for immediate disposition in the DRX operating environment. Operation of the QG-DIG-DRX Integration System software is accomplished through a touch-sensitive operator control panel screen, integrated with the DRX System Workstation screen. Once the DRX Software is installed and a Service Technician has completed the system and generator setup, it is not necessary for the operator to access and adjust the Service Options.

W WARNING The DRX System screen should display four generator parameters (kV, mA, ms, and mAs) at all times. If any one of these parameters is not displayed, contact Technical Service.

CAUTION The Power/Expose Control box must be positioned as to allow the operator to clearly view the Operator Console and hear the audible alarm during the exposure cycle.

Power Failures There are various types of power disruptions that can affect a System: voltage sags, voltage surges, brownouts, line noise, high voltage spikes, frequency variations, switching transients, and harmonic distortions. These disruptions can be corrected by a Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). The DRX-Ascend System does not come with a UPS. A UPS provides back-up power in the event of a power failure. A UPS also conditions the power provided to the System. Back-up power will last for a specific length of time, dependent on the UPS energy storage capacity and the power requirements of the equipment. If you choose to provide a UPS for your System, follow the manufacturer's recommendation for use and battery replacement. A UPS can be used to power the DRX-Ascend Operator's Console. If the DRX-Ascend System is also configured with a fixed 43x43 detector then both the Operator's Console and the power supply for the 43x43 detector should be powered from the UPS. For UPS specifications see “CARESTREAM DRX-1 System Safety and Regulatory Information with Hardware User's Guide" PN 9J1967.

Generator Key Features It is imperative that all safety procedures described in this manual be strictly adhered to in order to ensure the safety of both patient and user. The key features of the HF Series X-ray Generators are as follows: • Ultra high-frequency (up to 120 kHz) voltage waveform for highly efficient X-ray production • Manual, AEC (optional), and automatic (APR) modes of operation • Anatomic Programmability (APR) pre-defined and customized technique selection • Wall/Table/None image receptor selection • Compact generator cabinet design • Multi-language display capability

Generator Intended Use The HF Series X-ray Generators are diagnostic X-ray high-voltage generators. They are intended to supply and control the electrical energy applied to a diagnostic X-ray tube for medical radiographic examinations.
