Product Description The DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System is designed specifically for Digital Radiography (DR) with Carestream-supported detectors (see Section 2.1.10). The DRXRevolution Nano Mobile X-ray System incorporates the tools required for acquiring medical diagnostic images outside of a standard X-ray room. The DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System is an all-inclusive mobile X-ray system, providing: •
A high power generator (maximum 5.3 kW @ 100 msec and 7.7 kW @ 13 msec).
•
A user-friendly X-ray tube head, enabling positioning in five axes of motion.
•
A low-profile, ultra-lightweight arm assembly for ease of patient positioning and better visibility while driving.
•
Safe storage for detectors and supplies.
•
Carestream's proven user interface and image editing and processing tools.
Features and Functions The DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System is an ultra-lightweight mobile X-ray system providing multiple features and functions.
Image Capture The system provides: •
Easy maneuverability
•
Five axes of motion of the tube head
The tube has a nominal IEC focal spot size range of 0.9 to 1.9 equivalent at 0.1 increments. The generator provides: •
Maximum 5.3 kW @ 100 msec and 7.7 kW @ 13 msec of power
•
40 – 110 kV
•
0.2 – 20.0 mAs
•
30 – 80 mA
Normal operation of the system is considered to be 60 exposures in a 24-hour period.
Power The system operates on a bank of internal rechargeable batteries mounted in an easilyremovable tray, as the system is designed to be used independently of a mains power

Product Description
source. The battery drawer is field-removable with the use of a tool. Only trained service personnel are to remove the battery tray The battery life allows for taking up to 40 exposures without charging. This assumes fully-charged batteries and various techniques. Note In order to ensure that the cart is always ready to take images, it should be placed on charge whenever it is not in use. Note Shutting down the system using the power button conserves system batteries.
Mobility The low profile arm allows for: •
Visibility while driving.
•
Access to confined spaces.
•
The transport system is designed for movement and maneuverability. It can be driven on surfaces typical to hospital environments at safe walking speed (around 1.5 m/s) with the tube head docked.
Caution The system should not be operated at speeds above safe walking speed (around 1.5 m/s). The brakes are electronically released by the brake release buttons integrated in the handles. In case of no power, a lever situated near the kickplate allows for manually disengaging the brakes. An “inch” feature allows the position of the system to be adjusted while the tube head is deployed.
Main Battery Charging The main battery bank is designed to charge from a normal domestic power supply, i.e., 100 – 240 V, 50/60 Hz, 11– 5.5 A mains power supply. Charge time to fully charge a battery tray is typically less than two hours and at most four hours. Battery charging status is indicated via an LED array on the monitor assembly frame.

Operation and Use
Cart Maneuverability and Positioning The extreme lightweight design of the DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System makes it simple and easy to position and treat patients at the bedside. “Deadman” brakes, released via a streamlined switch on each cart handle, mean the cart is always braked unless the user pushes on the cart handles.
Streamlined “deadman” brake buttons on cart handles
There is also a brake release switch (“inch” feature) on the head handle, which allows the user to disengage braking to make fine positioning changes of the cart while the head is deployed.
Press buttons on the head handle to use the “inch” feature.

Operation and Use
Caution Check for potential obstacles prior to moving the cart using the “inch” feature. Brakes can be released manually to allow the cart to be moved in cases of lower battery power. The manual release lever is located directly above the kickplate.
1. Rear wheels 2. Brake release buttons 3. Drive handles 4. Manual brake release lever
Caution The manual release for the brakes are to be used only in case of low battery power and then only to move the cart to a position to be charged where the brakes are to be engaged again. If the brakes are not functioning for any other reason, discontinue using the cart immediately and contact your authorized service representative. The cart is designed to negotiate obstructions up to 50 mm in height. In order to negotiate an obstruction, tilt the cart back onto its rear wheels by bracing the cart with your foot on the kickplate while pulling back on the drive handles, and then push the cart over the obstruction.
