IV – Norms and declaration of conformity

ZETA X-ray devices are designed and manufactured in conformity to the Dlg
46/97, that receipt the EU Directive 93/42/CEE, and further modification and
integration such as those provided by the Dlg 25 January 2010, n. 37, that
receipt the EU Directive 2007/47/CE. ZETA devices have been classified as
Medical Devices in Class IIb.

Product classification according to Annex IX (Classification Criteria)

The medical device “ZETA”, subject of this manual has been classified as active
medical device in Class IIb, according to rule 10, of 3rd paragraph that refer to
additional rules applicable to active medical devices, in annex IX of the Dlg 46/97,
that receipt the EU Directive 93/42/CEE, and further modification and integration
such as those provided by the Dlg 25 January 2010, n. 37, that receipt the EU
Directive 2007/47/CE.
Hence the last comma of rule 10 states what follows “devices intended to emit
ionizing radiation and designed for diagnosis, radiotherapy or interventional
radiology, including those devices that controls them or directly influence their
performances are included in class IIb” . The device subject to this document, has
a direct influence on the result of radio diagnostic applications: as a matter of
fact, as it includes proper patient positioning means and acting as direct
influence in the imaging process, it falls into given definition.

Classification rationale
The chest stand ZETA includes for a proper use an Anti scatter grid, intended to
be installed between the X-Ray source to reduce the diffracted radiation affecting
the surface and so improving the image contrast of the primary image. As a
consequence, the device is directly influencing the performance of the ionizing
radiation.
Moreover the potter bucky and the digital pack are both in direct connection with
the generator, influencing the X-Ray emission moment and duration, which are
not going to happen if not after a proper “go” signal form the Potter or the Digital
Pack.
Finally the Al equivalent filtration of the front panel and the homogeneity of the
material has a direct influence on the image quality, considering also the
importance given to this point by the technical norm CEI EN 60601-1-3 that
verifies the attenuation in equivalent Al mm and determines a max value. A
proper material used to hold the patient and so positioned between patient and
detector, avoid an excess of attenuation that may result in a high value of dose
needed to achieve the desired image.

PERFOMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED STAFF TRAINED DIRECTLY BY CAT
MEDICAL SYSTEMS DURING THE MANDATORY TRAINING COURSE.

VII.1 - Preliminary check

Verify that the room of destination of the X-Ray units has dimensions and
structures wide enough to host the devices, considered the encumbrances already
described in this manual and the need for installation of an X-ray generator and
its control console. As well, verify that the room allows hosting all accessories and
other objects eventually needed for examination.

It is important to check that around the X-ray devices is kept enough free space
to allow the operator movement and to avoid collision with things and people.

When an X-ray transparent stretcher on pivoting wheels is used with the system,
a specific care is required to verify room dimensions. It is important to check that
the room will save enough space for stretcher access and movement inside the
room.

Moreover verify all component and devices not manufactured by CAT MEDICAL
SYSTEMS, needed for the use of the X-ray system, (such as the X-ray generator
or the X-ray tube) and other accessories eventually designed to be host in the
room in association with the X-Ray system. All these objects must respond to the
following parameters:

- CE mark of conformity, where required;

- Perfect compatibility (mechanical, electrical and functional for all component
of the system;
- Position in the room which helps as much as possible the devices access by
operators and patient, and made as ease as possible examination
performing

For what concerns the elements which are not part of the functional configuration
of the system, which have anyway a use during some examination (e.g. service
stool) and some furniture elements (such as wardrobes or desktops): for all these
elements take care that their presence will not result as an obstacle for device
movement and ordinary work of the system.
