Unpacking Instructions
3. UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Optimum care is taken while packing the machine so that the machine must reach to the final
destination without any scratches and must be free from any transportation damages. The
machine is first packed in Polythene sheet & then further packing is done either using
foam/thermocole sheet. The outer carton could be of cardboard box or wooden ply packing.
The wooden boxes are packed with the nails and metallic strips wound with the nuts and
bolts.
The Service Engineer should study the following safety points before installing the machine
at the customer’s place:
! Utmost care should be taken while unpacking the boxes.
• Always make sure that while unpacking the boxes the items contained in them do not
get damaged.
• While removing the screws, bolts or nuts from the boxes, make sure that the
instrument used for removing the screws, bolts or nuts do not penetrate in the box and
subsequently damage the contents of the box.
• Extra Care should be taken while opening the heavier items as any sort of
carelessness can cause injury to the person handling the item.
Follow the procedure below to open the packing:
(i) Remove the metallic strips by opening the nuts and bolts with the spanners.
(ii) Remove the wooden packing from the sides by removing the nails. Care must be
taken so that the contents of the box are not hit accidentally.
(iii) Remove the thermocole packed material from the cardboard boxes after removing
the packing tapes used to close the boxes (wherever applicable) and then remove
thermocole packing sheet and polythene sheet by removing packing tape.
The unpacked parts must not be kept on the floor and can be kept on the packing sheets
removed earlier to avoid any scratches on the parts and to keep them clean. Do not touch the
parts with dirty hands or rub them with a piece of cloth to avoid any dirt marks on the parts.

4.3.1 X-Ray Room Layout Requirements
1. Location of X-Ray Installation:
The rooms housing diagnostic X-Ray units and related equipment should be located
as far away as feasible from areas of high occupancy and general traffic, such as
maternity and paediatric wards and other departments of the hospital that are not
directly related to radiation and its use.
2. Layout:
The layout of rooms in X-ray department should aim at providing integrated facilities
so that handling of X-ray equipment and related operations can be conveniently
performed with adequate protection. The number of doors for entry to the X-ray room
should be kept to the minimum. The doors and passages leading to the X-ray
installation should permit safe and easy transport of equipment and non-ambulatory
patients. The dark room should be so located that the primary X-ray beam cannot be
directed on it.
3. Room Size:
The room housing an X-ray equipment must be spacious enough to permit

installation, use and servicing of equipment with safety and convenience for he
operating personnel, the servicing personnel and the patient. The room size must not
be less than the 25 sq. m. for a general purpose X-ray machine.
4. Shielding:
Appropriate structural shielding shall be provided for the walls, the ceiling and the
floor of the X-ray room so that doses received by workers occupationally exposed to
the radiation and the members of the public are kept to a minimum and shall not
exceed the annual effective dose equivalent limits of 50 mSv and 1 mSv respectively.
The doors of an X-ray room shall provide the same shielding as that of the adjacent
walls incase persons are likely to be present in front of them when the X-ray unit is
energized. Appropriate shielding must be provided for the dark room to ensure that
undeveloped X-ray films stored in it will not be exposed to more than an air kerma
rate of 10 uGy per week (approximately 1.13 mR per week).
5. Openings and Ventilation:
Unshielded openings, if provided in an X-ray room for ventilation or natural light etc.
must be located above a height of 2.5 meters from the ground/floor level outside the
X-ray room.

7.4 PROCEDURE FOR CARRYING OUT QA TESTS AS PER

REGULATORY BOARD
The aim of quality assurance (QA) tests in diagnostic radiology is to ensure good quality
images with optimal doses. Images of poor quality will necessitate retakes and can result in
unnecessary doses to patients, personnel and public and overloading of the machine. The
parameters that affect the quality of the image include:
1. Applied tube potential (kV)

2. Quantity of radiation reaching the film, which depends on the current and time of
exposure (mAs)
3. Focal spot size
4. Beam alignment
5. Congruence of optical and radiation fields
6. Contact between film and screen
7. Processing conditions
The QA programme begins with the specification of performance of the equipment at the
manufacturing stage (performance standards tests) and then includes the tests after
installation in the hospital (acceptance tests) to ensure conformity with the specifications.
The QA tests are carried out thereafter at regular intervals, after repairs that might affect
performance and when equipment malfunction is suspected.
The rate of film rejection – in other words, the number of retakes – may indicate inefficient
operation and this should be periodically analyzed to ensure good QA. This could also help
to identify performance deterioration, which requires service attention.
The radiologists and the radiographers should be educated on the importance of the QA tests.
The importance of obtaining good quality images keeping the doses to levels as low as
reasonably achievable (ALARA) to patients, staff and public must be stressed.
Simultaneously, requirements in respect of filtration, collimator, leakage radiation, safe work
practices and proper installation planning must be fulfilled.
The Q.A Tests as specified in the local radiation safety standards may be carried out. Please
refer to your country’s directives with regard to this.

to some problem in any one of these relays or circuit.
For checking problem in relays or particular relay circuit, disconnect
terminal TS8-6 (230 Volts Supply for all the relays) and check if fuse is
blowing. If fuse is not blowing now, then there is problem in some relay
section. Check all the relays coils by disconnecting all relay coils one by
one. The coil of any relay may be short internally or with the ground.
If all the relays coils are OK then there may be fault in Flouro filament
circuit. Check the continuity of TS8-6 & TS10-3 with GND or body of
machine. If meter is showing any continuity then FmA pot, or 400 ohm,

getting short with GND this fuse will blow. To check this disconnect
TS12-3 from control and check continuity.
In case of the machines with I.I.TV combinations, I.I. supply, Camera

Radiation Monitoring & Protection
11. RADIATION MONITORING & PROTECTION
11.1 Personnel Monitoring

Personnel monitoring is the evaluation of radiation doses received by the personnel
working with radiation.
The most commonly used personnel monitoring device is the film badge which consists
of a personnel monitoring film (PM Film) kept in cassette containing a set of filters. With
film badge, a wide range of doses from 10 mRem to 1000 Rem of different types of
radiation can be evaluated. The film serves as a permanent record and if worn on chest,
gives the most representative value of whole body dose under normal working
conditions.
The radiation dose received by radiation worker can also be determined by the use of
Thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) badge. This consists of three CaSO4:Dy TLD discs
embedded in a metallic frame work and enclosed in a multi filter cassette. The TLD
badge can be used to monitor Beta, Gamma and X-Ray radiations. The TLD badge can
cover a wide range of doses from 10 mRem to 1000 Rem.
In addition to PM Film & TLD Badge, radiation dose to personnel can also be assessed
by pocket dosimeters. Pocket dosimeters are very useful in certain operations, where the
radiation levels vary considerable and may be quite hazardous. They give on the spot
check of radiation doses.
It is always advisable that personnel handling the X-Ray machine should use TLD
badges, PM Films or other devices like Pocket Dosimeters to monitor the absorbed dose
within the safe limits.
11.2 Radiation Protection Accessories

It is advisable to all personnel handling X-Ray machines to use following radiation
protection accessories:

Preventive Maintenance Procedure
12. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE

Preventive Maintenance of any equipment is very important to keep it in proper working
condition through out its life span. Timely and proper Preventive Maintenance not only
increases the life of the equipment, but it reduces the down time, hence savings on otherwise
expensive repairs. We must therefore try to be disciplined as far as the time schedule and the
procedure for carrying out the P.M. is concerned. The details given below would give
guidelines of P.M. procedure. P.M on all the equipments must be performed every 4 months
i.e.: thrice a year.
For optimum output of the equipment we should start writing the voltage drop during
exposure at Average working KVP Time and mA settings. This record at the time of
installation itself can be mentioned on the Machine History Card. The date and month of
Installation would help us actually know the extent of voltage drop as our experience
suggests that during the summer season; the voltage drop is on the higher side. During P.M
the Voltage drop can be checked with the reference value and is noted. Any increase in
Voltage Drop would thus be noticed and line checked for any loose connections etc. in the
mains switch/pole etc.
Inform customer in advance about your visit preferably through a letter/ telephone and agree
for a convenient time and date.

burnt. Check the operation of the X-Ray contactor. It should not be sticky.
7. Make the Machine “ON” and check the accuracy of the Voltmeter (On Red Band
your Multimeter should read 230 Volts).
8. On “NO LOAD” check the Accuracy of Timer with the cycle counter/ stopwatch.
9. Giving exposure at 65-70 KVP, check the mA output of Machine at different mA
Stations and calibrate the mA output if required. Calibration of the mA Meter should
also be verified with your Multimeter. Check P1-P2 current at this time. Observe for
any abnormal behaviour of the Machine i.e. sparking, sounds from the Tube Head,
H.T. Tank, Main Switch etc. Visually cheek the Voltage drop on your Voltmeter.
It should be within 10%. In case it is on the higher side, check if the wiring used in
the mains is of appropriate thickness. Advise the customer accordingly.
