i-6
Warning
This Phantom is intended to be used as part of a system for the
intended generation of X-rays for medical diagnosis.
X-rays generate a potential risk for both patients and operators.
For this reason, the application of X-rays for a given medical
purpose must aim at the minimization of radiation exposition to
any persons.
Those persons responsible for the application must have the
specific knowledge according to legal requirements and
regulations and must establish safe exposure procedures for this
kind of systems.
Those persons responsible for the planning and installation of this
equipment must observe the national regulations.
Warning
Federal law restricts this device for sale or use by or on order of a
physician or properly licensed practitioner.
Warning
Only qualified personnel may operate the Phantom. Operation of
the equipment by persons who have not been trained or who are
unfamiliar with the Phantom may cause serious injury to the
patient, serious injury to the operator, or equipment damage.
Warning
The Phantom includes no user serviceable parts. For service
assistance, contact Del Medical.
Warning
The Phantom produces ionizing radiation. Operators must meet
all state and local requirements and regulations.
Warning
The Phantom and associated cables must not be operated in the
presence of moisture.
Warning
The Phantom is rated as Class I Equipment, ensure that the earth
grounding connections between the Phantom and its power source
is maintained at all times.
Warning
The Phantom is not suitable for operation in the presence of a
flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide.
Warning
Disconnect electrical power from the Phantom before servicing.
Use care not to drop tools or other objects into the Phantom when
working on or around the unit. Electrical shock could result.
i-8
Radiation Protection
Serious unfavorable health effects can result from short term exposure to
high levels of ionizing radiation (such as X-rays) as well as from long term
exposure to low levels. Personnel who operate the Phantom should
familiarize themselves with both the short term and the long term effects
of radiation exposure and take appropriate measures to minimize the
amount of radiation to which they are exposed while performing their
duties. Some effects of X-ray radiation are cumulative, and may extend
over a period of months or years. The best safety rule for X-ray operators
is to avoid exposure to the primary beam at all times.
Ionizing radiation occurs naturally in the environment. It is generated by
astronomical radiation sources such as the sun and the stars, and by the
soil under our feet. The atmosphere filters radiation from astronomical
sources. As a result, the radiation level from these sources is much lower
at sea level than on the summit of high mountains. Radiation generated in
the soil varies greatly from place to place depending on the composition of
the soil. For example, areas rich in granite rock have a higher level of
radiation than other areas.
Any materials placed in the path of the beam absorb natural as well as
man-made radiation, such as the X-rays used in the Phantom. Materials
with a high atomic number, such as tungsten, lead, and uranium, absorb
X-rays much more effectively than materials with a low atomic number
such as hydrogen, aluminum, or beryllium. Therefore, lead is used for
shielding the radiologist's workstation in most X-ray facilities, including
ones using the Phantom. If there are windows in the partition separating
the operator from the patient, these windows are typically glazed with
lead glass and provide effective protection against ionizing radiation.
To minimize dangerous exposure, use movable lead screens,
lead-impregnated gloves, and lead-impregnated aprons. These protective
devices must contain 0.25 millimeter thickness of lead or the equivalent.
Use such protective devices for all operators, observers, and/or servicing
personnel exposed to radiation fields of five or more milli-Roentgens per
hour.
The shielding provided for a typical X-ray facility's operator workstation
is generally quite effective and reduces the residual radiation from
diagnostic X-rays to a level that is comparable to or lower than natural
background radiation. If the operator abandons the protected
environment of the workstation, he or she may be exposed to a
significantly higher level of radiation. For a single exposure this may still
not lead to serious health effects, but repeated carelessness in this regard
may lead to serious consequences.
Any object in the path of the primary beam produces scattered radiation.
In the absence of proper precautions, scattered radiation can result in a

Radiation Safety
Safety
Everyone associated with X-ray work must be familiar with the
recommendations of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health
(CDRH), the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), the
National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP), and the International
Committee on Radiation Protection (ICRP).
Be sure that all personnel authorized to operate the X-ray system are
familiar with the established regulations of the authorities named above.
All personnel should be monitored to ensure compliance with
recommended procedures.
Current sources of information include:
National Council on Radiation Protection Report No. 33
(Medical X-ray and gamma ray Protection for Energies up to
10 MEV-Equipment Design and Use).
National Bureau of Standards Handbook No. 76 (Medical X-ray
Protection up to Three Million Volts). Refer to NCRP Report No. 33.
Current recommendations of the International Committee on
Radiation Protection.
Although X-ray radiation is hazardous, X-ray equipment does not pose
any danger when properly used. Be certain all operating personnel are
properly educated concerning the hazards of radiation. Persons
responsible for the system must understand the safety requirements and
special warnings for X-ray operation. Review this manual and the
manuals for each component in the system to become aware of all safety
and operational requirements.
Warning
Ensure exposure parameters are properly adjusted within safety
limits.
Caution
Incorrectly positioning the X-ray tube and Collimator could cause
the X-ray field to be misaligned with the bucky, resulting in
unacceptable images.
Manufacturers Responsibility
Although this equipment incorporates protection against X-ray radiation
other than the useful beam, practical design does not provide complete
protection. Equipment design does not compel the operator or assistants
to take the necessary precautions; nor does it prevent the possibility of
improper use (authorized or unauthorized persons carelessly, unwisely,
or unknowingly exposing themselves or others to direct or secondary
radiation). Allow only authorized, properly trained personnel to operate
this equipment.
Be certain that all individuals authorized to use the equipment are aware
of the danger of excessive exposure to X-ray radiation.
This equipment is sold with the understanding that the manufacturer, its
agents, and representatives, do not accept any responsibility for
overexposure of patients or personnel to X-ray radiation.
Furthermore, the manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for
overexposure of patients or personnel to X-ray radiation generated by the
equipment used in conjunction with the Phantom components as a result
of poor operating techniques or procedures.
No responsibility is assumed for any unit that has not been serviced and
maintained in accordance with the technical service manual, or which has
been modified or tampered with in any way.
Monitoring Personnel
Monitoring personnel to determine the amount of radiation to which they
have been exposed provides a valuable cross-check to determine whether
or not safety measures are adequate. This cross-check may reveal
inadequate or improper radiation protection practices and/or serious
radiation exposure situations.
The most effective method of determining whether the existing protective
measures are adequate is the use of instruments to measure the exposure
(in rads). This measurement should be taken at all locations where the
operator, or any portion of the operators body, may be inadequately
shielded during exposure. Exposure must never exceed the accepted
tolerable dose.
A frequently used, but less accurate, method of determining the amount of
exposure is placement of film at strategic locations. After a specified
period of time, develop the film to determine the amount of radiation.
Fluorescent screens (used in a darkened room) may also be used to detect
excessive radiation.
i-14
Manufacturers Responsibility
Warning
Do not install components or accessories that were not intend for
use by the system. Failure to comply could result in damage to the
equipment or injury to personnel.
The user is responsible for ensuring that the application and use of the
Phantom does not compromise the patient contact rating of any
equipment used in the vicinity of, or in conjunction with, the system.
The use of accessory equipment and/or hardware not complying with the
equivalent product safety and EMC requirements of this product may
lead to a reduced level of safety and/or EMC performance of the resulting
system. Consideration relating to the choice of accessory equipment used
with this product shall include:
The use of the accessory in the patient vicinity
Evidence that the safety certification of the accessory has been
performed in accordance with the appropriate IEC 60601-1 and/or
IEC 60601-1-1 Harmonized National Standards
Some components of the Phantom have been classified as to acceptable
applications of use in accordance with Information Technology
Equipment regulations such as EN60950.

14 Wait for the Ready Light (6) to light up. In some cases, as when the
unit is first turned on, this may take a couple of minutes.
15 After the READY light comes on, pull the Pull the Prep/Exposure
switch (7) out of its holder and back away from the control panel
about six feet (two meters).
16 Press and HOLD the switch half way down ( first stage is pressed
down) until the READY light goes out and comes on again. The press
the switch all the way down (second stage is down) until the X-Ray
light (8) comes on and a beeping sound is heard. This indicates that
the exposure has been made.
Note
If you release the first stage of the switch before the READY light comes
back on, a fault condition will occur as indicated by the FAULT light (9).
If this occurs, press the RESET button (10) and restart the process.
17 If you wish to make another exposure, wait until the READY light
comes back on. Then repeat the process. The light is on a timed circuit
to let the x-ray cool between exposures.
18 If the unit will not be used again in the near future, turn the power
switch off.

Ordering Parts
9-1
The parts lists follow the illustration for a particular assembly and
represent components of that assembly. The number listed in the quantity
column is the number of the specific part required to complete the
assembly and may not reflect the quantity needed for the entire system.
The lists are divided into four columns. The item/index numbers refer to
the identification number located on the drawing. The part number is the
Del Medical part number, used to identify the part for ordering. The part
description column lists each part name, and the quantity column lists the
quantity of that part used in that particular assembly.
Illustrations are shown before the parts list for each assembly. Some
assembly illustrations require more than one page.
