possible deviations. Otherwise we cannot assume any guarantee for the accurate implementation of the dimensions
indicated in the planning documents.

Room height
Required room height minimum 2300 mm (recommended 2440 mm),
measured from the highest point of the finished floor (with covering) to the lowest point of the ceiling.

Biograph mCT | Basic Planning Information

The engineer of record for the building shall jointly review deviations for the a.m. requirements. The engineer of
record shall provide a support structure designed to support all weights and forces.
It is the customer´s responsibility to contract a qualified specialist to implement site modifications that meet these
specific limits and to design structural solutions in case of deviations.
Installation on a floating floor without sub-construction is prohibited.
In areas prone to earthquakes it is required to bolt down all system components according to the local or national
regulations.

Floor- and building vibrations

Permissible acceleration rms-value [m/s²]

Floor- and building vibrations can reduce image quality! Continuous vibrations
0.1
Sources that produce vibrations are, e.g.:
Railroad routes, subways, roads, road works and construction sites, hospital
power plants, mines, open-cast mines, quarries (explosions), ferry moorings, 0.01

any other sources of striking vibrations.

Any transient vibration has to be less than 0.2 m/s² peak-to-peak in the time
0.001
domain.The vibrations have to be measured with a sampling rate of 1000 Hz.
In the three spatial directions, acceleration in vibrations at the mounting points of
the gantry and Patient Handling System PHS must not exceed the thresholds as 0.0001

PHS (Patient Handling System) Box 1 = 817 kg, Box 2 = 318 kg

Tipping hazard! Transport with the rollers swivelled in is permissible only in narrow passages! As soon as the
system has passed through narrow passages, the transport rollers have to be swivelled out again.
Access floors in transportation route have to be designed for a weight capacity of min. 400kg per slab/plate. During
gantry transport, the load may be even higher at certain individual points (3-point-load e.g.due to uneven flooring).
If required, cover the transport routes with metal sheets for load distribution.

The door must have a final clearance of 1250 mm if bed entrance is requested.

The entire system must be transported in the undamaged transport packaging provided by the manufacturer.
A truck equipped with air shocks must be used for land transport of the system.

General Information

Display screen workstations

For setting up display screen workstations, take account of the guidelines in the Display Screen Workstation
directive as well as any national regulations (e.g. EN ISO 9241-5).

Smart Remote Services (SRS)

Smart Remote Services (SRS) is used for remote diagnostics as well as remote service to provide
highest system availability.
Requirements:
- Broadband connection (min 4 MBit/s down- and 768 kBit/s upstream) without time or volume limitations
- Router (for exclusive use with SRS)
Data protection and security is defined in the Smart Remote Services security concept.

Network Integration
The Siemens components are using TCP/IP Protocol, a 100/1000 Mbit/s switched Ethernet network and
static IP addresses.
The required network cabling (min. CAT 5 TP) has to be provided on site.
Media converters, which are needed for using fibre optic cabling, are not in the scope of Siemens delivery.
To prepare the implementation of the new system into the existing network environment, the availability
of the needed network data at least two weeks before starting the installation is mandatory.
This is the only way to ensure a seamless integration of the new system into the workflow of the department.

Notes on preparations for installation

Contracts for performing and supervising on-site installation preparations should be concluded with technically
competent companies by the customer. The customer is responsible for timely and proper completion and
supervision of all preparations for installation at the construction site in observance of all applicable legal regulations
(e.g. X-ray regulations, radiation protection regulations) and all applicable general recognized rules of technology
(e.g. VDE regulations, DIN standards).
Execution and supervision of installation preparations at the construction site and later observance of the standard
operating conditions are not included in our duties. The customer is responsible for checking the static calculations
and, where applicable, the air conditioning in the building to be equipped.
