The Interventional reference point is intended to be representative of the point of intersection of the X-ray
beam axis and the patient. For this type of system normal use for interventional procedures is with the c-arm
vertical or horizontal and patient as close as possible to the II.
The Interventional reference point is 30 cm from the image intensifier entrance surface or 69.5 cm from the
focal spot. [ref. IEC 60601-2-43]
The error in estimating the total absorbed dose to the skin introduced from the defined point should average
out as long as the procedure is composed of multiple views. Even under the worst-case conditions, errors
should be less than a factor of two. Of course, assessing the position of the patient and calculating the
appropriate correction factor can eliminate most of this error. [ref. IEC 60601-2-43]

1.2.16 Scattered radiation (Isokerma data)
Measurement conditions
The tests were made using the maximum X-ray beam for the size of the system.
A 25 cm cube PMMA phantom was placed 5 cm in front of the II input surface. The entrance plane of the
phantom was therefore at the interventional reference point 30 cm in front of the II.
The results are normalized to 1 (uGy/s) / (uGym²/s). The following table provides details of:
• Dose area product at the interventional reference point.
• Actual dose rate for a normalized value of 0.01 (uGy/s) / (uGym²/s).
The table height was set to 87.5 cm, meaning that the centre of the phantom was at a height of 1 meter above
the floor. The degree of uncertainty regarding the results is < ± 50%.

A dedicated AC power line is recommended to avoid conflicts with the power requirements of other
equipment. When mains impedance is such that the momentary voltage drop is too large, a dedicated mains
circuit has to be used, with requirements for the minimal voltage.
For the USA the momentary voltage drop on a normal mains circuit is 4% at rated current. Most other
countries have similar regulations. The local authorities or the Philips representative has to be consulted for
more details on mains requirements.

3 SITE SURVEY REPORT
3.1 RELEVANT ASPECTS
With respect to the on-site installation of the BV Family R1.2 Systems, these systems are relatively easy to
commission because no particular site measures are required, apart from the specific earthing requirements.
To avoid unnecessary confusion it is recommended to carry out a site survey, before the factory assembly of
the system, focusing on eventual power supply requirements. If the option of the DICOM workflow interface is
ordered, also the questionnaire has to be filled in.
The relevant aspects of the power supply are:

1. Voltage
2. Frequency
3. Plug specification
The actual data has to be gathered and reported via a Site Survey Report to (or through) the PMS SSD/SSR
organization for onward transmission to the Philips Medical Systems Nederland marketing department.
A format to report the actual data has been incorporated in this chapter.
The relevant data of the DICOM Workflow Interface should be reported via the questionnaire. This format is
also available in this Service Manual.
3.2 SITE SURVEY REPORT FORMAT
The site survey report will be part of the contractual documents and should be filed and archived together with
the other relevant documents in Section “Record of measured data”.
A (possible) format for the site survey report is the one used by PMS marketing.
NOTE
The Site Survey Report form has to be filled in for each room where the system will be used.
________________

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
3.3 DICOM WORKFLOW INTERFACE XA QUESTIONNAIRE
The DICOM workflow interface questionnaire is also part of the Site Survey Report and should be filled in and
sent to the PMS SSD/SSR organization for onward transmission to the PMS Marketing department.
NOTE
The DICOM workflow interface questionnaire has to be attached to the Site Survey Report.
________________
3.3.1 Purpose of this Questionnaire

1 INTRODUCTION
After having completed the procedure for unpacking and re-installation of the system, with reference to the
various Sections, the system is ready to be connected to the hospital mains power supply. The BV Family
R1.2 Systems are also pre-adjusted, so no actual new on-site adjustments have to be carried out.
If the previous re-installation measures did not take place, refer to the Section “Installation instructions”.
This Section deals with the setting to work procedure(s) as part of the commissioning: a general check on the
functionality of the system.
In case that software adjustments should be performed, refer to the Section “Adjustment & Verification”.
In general, the delivered equipment could have been stored in warehouses before the setting to work. For this
reason an X-ray tube conditioning program is developed and should be considered.
If the X-ray tube has been out of order for more than 3 months, the conditioning program has to be performed.
A separate procedure is developed for the BV Libra \ BV Endura and the BV Pulsera.
Part of the whole procedure is also a check on the options for the license key. The (32) character string should
allow for the relevant and ordered configuration.

2.1.2 Example programming System setting

WARNING
Compliance with IEC 60601-2-43 Interventional Procedures.
For compliance with IEC 60601-2-43, the system must not be customized with ‘Pulsed LDF’ mode as the
switch on default mode ( i.e. Default technique = Exposure and Default X-mode = Pulsed). This mode has a
dose output above the IEC Normal dose level (see table in the technical data section). As the default
Examination can be selected by the User on the MVS interface, this applies to all examination types.
