MEMOSKOP CX 4.2

Installing the MEMOSKOP CX software 0

NOTE It is recommended to check the patient database for corrup-


tion before installing or updating the MEMOSKOP CX soft-
ware. See (Corrupted patient database of MEMOSKOP
CX / p. 33).

NOTE - The MEMOSKOP CX consists of 2 components:


1. Integrated PC with operating system software
2. Image memory hardware and software.

- The operating system software as well as the image mem-


ory software are transferred and installed together.

NOTE - After the installation, the licenses and parameters must be


reloaded. See the section (MEMOSKOP CX Restore / p. 35).

NOTE A service keyboard, either PS2 or USB with a PS2 adapter, is


included in delivery. The following work steps provide
instructions for connecting the keyboard via PS2. As an alter-
native, the USB keyboard (if available) can be connected to
the USB port on the front of the Memoskop CX.

• Switch on the system.


• Open the CD drive and insert the Memoskop software CD.
• Close the CD drive again.
• Switch off the system.
• Connect the included PS2 keyboard (contained in the tray at the back of the monitor
trolley) to the Memoskop CX via the "PC Keyboard" socket.
• Plug the adapter included with delivery (15-pin SUB-D plug, included in the system
binder) into the "Printer" socket of the MEMOSKOP CX. If necessary, temporarily
unplug the remote cable from the printer beforehand.

NOTE - On this adapter, pin 15 is jumpered to pin 10. This causes


the messages of the integrated PC (Bios and WINDOWS XP
messages), which are normally suppressed, to be displayed
on monitor B during booting.

• Switch on the system again.

Corrupted patient database of MEMOSKOP CX 0

The patient database of the MEMOSKOP CX is stored on a separate SCSI hard disk.
Update or reinstallation of the MEMOSKOP CX software does not cause the database to
be recreated. For this reason, it is not absolutely necessary to archive the patient images
before installing or updating the software. For the same reason, it will be necessary to
delete or create a new database manually should the database become corrupted.
It is recommended to check the patient database for corruption before installing or updating
the MEMOSKOP CX software. If necessary, format the database before installing or updat-
ing the software.
Possible reasons for a corrupted patient database are hard disk problems.

Identifying a corrupted patient database


• Any problems that occur when you attempt to store images on a disk.

• The meter for available space (displayed in the Patient Directory) does not match the
license and number of stored images (e.g. license for 200 images – 25 images stored –
160 is displayed as available space).
• Displayed value 'Maximum Images' (Technical Setup - 9. System Parameters Setup)
does not match the valid license (25 / 200 / 2000 / 5000).
• The internal log file of the Memoskop CX (MX200log.txt) contains database errors (see
(Database errors in the internal logfile of the Memoskop CX (MX200log.txt) / p. 34)).
In all of these cases, the database should be deleted and recreated (see (Formatting the
patient database / p. 34)). If the problem still persists after the patient database is format-
ted, the MEMOSKOP CX needs to be replaced.

Formatting the patient database

CAUTION Loss of patient data!

Loading MEMOSKOP CX licenses 0

WARNING Loss of all patient images

When the licenses “CX 200 Images” and/or "CX 2000 Images"
and/or "CX 5000 Images + DSA" are subsequently loaded for
the first time, the image database has to be newly created.

All the patient images stored in Memoskop CX will be lost!

¹ Before any additional “CX 200 Images” and/or "CX


2000 Images" and/or "CX 5000 Images + DSA" licenses
are subsequently loaded for the first time, inform the
customer that all patient images will be lost. If neces-
sary, print out the patient images that are still needed,
save them to CD-R, or send them to the DICOM archive
via the DICOM function.

NOTE The licenses are checked when the MEMOSKOP CX is started


up. Without valid licenses, the MEMOSKOP CX runs only in
minimal mode. Only fluoroscopy mode can be selected, no
images can be saved to hard disk and the network functions
(DICOM) are blocked.
The licenses can also be checked during operation with the
"CTRL" + "K" key combination (for troubleshooting).

NOTE If the customer buys licenses subsequently, all previous


licenses are also present on the new license CD. For this rea-
son, only the most current license needs to be loaded.

NOTE As a rule, the existing licenses are stored and present on the
MEMOSKOP CX Backup CD-R along with the backed up
parameters.
If the MEMOSKOP CX Backup CD-R is missing or is no longer
readable, then the existing licenses have to be loaded from
the original license CD-R.
Afterwards, a new, writeable CD-R must be inserted into the
CD drive and both the licenses and the parameters saved.
The CD-R must be labeled "SIREMOBIL Compact L", the
material number and serial number of the system, the date
and initials must be included, and it must be filed in the sys-
tem binder.

• Start the Technical Setup (CTRL + T)


• Insert the most current license CD into the CD drive of the Memoskop CX.

ing (not a multi-session CD).
For this reason, the CD-R used must be new and empty. A
CD-R that has already been used as a multi-session CD can-
not be used.
In contrast, when patient images are burned from the User
Setup in the "External Storage (CD)" menu, the CD-R is set up
and written as a multi-session CD.

• After the burning process is complete, remove the CD-R from the CD drive.
• Insert the CD-R into the CD drive of a service PC and use a DICOM viewer to check the
images.

NOTE The DICOM Viewer software is written to every CD-R.


If no DICOM Viewer software is installed on your service PC,
you can use the DICOM Viewer software from the burned
CD-R.
The DICOM Viewer software can be started from the CD-R.
It can also be copied to the service PC and started from the
hard disk drive of the service PC.

NOTE *
For LOW dose rate levels in zoom format:
Due to the maximum possible opening of the TV iris, deviat-
ing dose rate values are acceptable if the dose rate level is
set to LOW in zoom format.
When the dose rate level is set to LOW in zoom format, the
minimum position value (= minimum opening) of the TV iris
may be the same value as in the survey format (opening of TV
iris collimator in zoom format >= opening of TV iris collimator
in survey format).
When the dose rate level is set to LOW in zoom format, the
display "BRIGHTNESS DEVIATION" may show a value
greater than ± 3.
If the value shown in "BRIGHTNESS DEVIATION" is greater
than ± 3, you must read out and evaluate the position values
of the TV iris collimator when the dose rate level is set to
LOW in both the zoom and survey formats:
(Service PC, Menu Adjustments... / Parameters.../ Doserate
adjustment, Parameter LOW - Zoom format pos. and Parame-
ter LOW Full format pos.)
Acceptable parameter values are: LOW - Zoom format pos. >=
LOW - Full format pos.
Unacceptable parameter values are: LOW - Zoom format pos.
< LOW - Full format pos.

Reduction of maximum air kerma rate 5.5

NOTE Regulations in some countries require the reduction of the


maximum air kerma rate.
Depending on the country, the measuring unit for air kerma
rate is either “R/min” or “mGy/min” (10 R/min = 87 mGy/min).
This section, as an example, describes how to reduce the
maximum air kerma rate to 45 mGy/min. However, in each
country the respective limit value of that country has to be
used for calculation.

Prerequisites 0

• One of the following FL curves must be programmed: S2, HC2, or IODINE.


The FL curve S2, HC2, or IODINE must be used for the following adjustment.
• The X-ray tube cover must be installed.

Preparations 0

• Attach the dose measurement cham-


ber at a distance of 30 cm from the I.I.
housing ((Fig. 14 / p. 52)).
• Select the FL curves S2, HC2, or
IODINE, according to the program-
ming (push key).
If necessary, program one of these
curves temporarily.
• Briefly release fluoro.

NOTE If the maximum tube current has been reduced already, the
displayed mA value at 110 kV must be recorded and used for
the calculation.
The maximum air kerma rate must be less than or equal to 45
mGy/min.

Measurement 0

X • Switch on fluoroscopy.
• Read and note down the displayed value on the dose rate meter.
(mGy/s * 60 = mGy/min)
• If the value measured exceeds 45 mGy/min, the maximum tube current must be
reduced. If the value measured is equal to or less than 45 mGy/min, the tube current
does not need to be reduced.
• Switch fluoroscopy off.
• Calculate the maximum tube current

tube current displayed at 110 kV in mA * 45 mGy/min


= tube current to be programmed in mA
measured dose rate value in mGy/min

• Multiply the tube current to be programmed by 10, because the entry on the service PC
must be made in 1/10 mA. Round off the value to the nearest whole number

Example: Tube current displayed at 110 kV: 5 mA


Maximum air kerma rate: 45 mGy/min
Measured dose rate value: 50.98 mGy/min.

5 (mA) * 45 (mGy/min) Rounded to the nearest whole number: 44


= 4.41 (mA)
50.98 (mGy/min) The value to be programmed is 44

Correction factor Cx
The correction factor Cx is required because the dose measuring chamber is attached
directly to the I.I. housing and not "300 mm from the I.I." or "150 mm from the isocenter".
Focus to I.I. input distance (SID) = 1005 mm.
Focus to I.I. housing/grid distance = 1005 mm - 20 mm = 985 mm.
'Reference Location' (RL) = 685 mm (reference point is 300 mm to the I.I. housing/grid)
or
'Reference Location' (RL) = 487 mm (reference point is 150 mm to the isocenter)

NOTE The 'Reference Location' value used is entered in the SIRE-


MOBIL system software. (Service program. "Adjustment",
"Parameters". Combo box "Parameter Groups:" "Diamentor"
menu. Parameter "5. Reference Location [mm]".)

Correction factor Cx = (985 /RL)2


=> Cx with RL "685" = 2.07
=> Cx with RL "487" = 4.09
Enter the Cx correction factor (2.07 or 4.09) for all three collimator settings in the following
table ((Tab. 12 / p. 76)).

WARNING When performing service work on the horizontal slide of the


basic unit (for example when performing repair work on the
brake of the C-arm horizontal travel) it is possible that the
C-arm may slide out of its position and drop onto the floor
after the end stop has been removed.

Risk of physical injury and damage to property!

¹ Before dismantling the end stop, the horizontal travel


brake must be locked and the horizontal slide must be
mechanically locked in order to prevent it from sliding
out. For example, the basic unit can be positioned in
the room in such a way that the C-arm touches one of
the walls.
¹ See also section (Back stop plate at the C-arm horizon-
tal support / p. 16).

• Position prerequisites for measuring the forces: angulation, orbital, and horizontal
swivel movements must be at zero on the scale and horizontal movement should be at
20 on the scale.

following work steps provide instructions for lubricating the
vertical lifting column.

NOTE Do not move lifting column continuously for more than 2 min-
utes. To prevent overheating of the motor, the new type lifting
column will be stopped after 2 minutes of continuous move-
ment. If this occurs, wait 10 minutes; movement function will
be normal.

• The spindle in the vertical lifting column should be lubricated during annual mainte-
nance.
• Raise the vertical lifting column approximately 50 cm. A round cap for covering the hole
is visible in the column.
• Remove the cap.
• A spindle is mounted in the center of the vertical lifting column.
• A hopper is mounted around the spindle.
• Fill this hopper with approximately 2 cm3 of oil.
• Move the vertical lifting column completely up and down twice.
The vertical lifting column may not have any squealing. If necessary, lubricate the spin-
dle of the vertical lifting column again.

Oil to be used:
Special purpose oil, Viscogen KL300, Item number 7279107.
