2. Focal spot indicator 7. Collimator adjustment knobs

3. Head release switch 8. SID Measure tape

4. Protractors 9. Provision for pediatric filter

5. Provision for DAP meter

The collimator has single transverse and longitudinal crosshairs on the output aperture
for indication of patient alignment. It has a recess for the use of a DAP measurement
chamber and additional pediatric filtration.
The Light Beam Diaphragm (LBD) provides an average luminance ≥ 160 lux at 100.0 cm
(39.0 in.) to indicate field of exposure, automatically switching off after approximately
20 seconds.

AF0118 | 2020-04-20 3-9

 Operation and Use

CAUTION:
If the collimator light field LED fails to work, the user MUST call for service support. Any
exposures taken when the collimator light field LED has failed are entirely at the discretion and
associated clinical risk of the user.

Insert the pediatric filter into this slot until it

stops.

The collimator is manually positioned by means of handle “tusks”, which also house
the collimator LBD on/off switch, and is rotatable through +/- 110 degrees. Collimator
blades are provided to adjust the exposure field in the horizontal (x) and vertical (y)
axes, controlled by manual dials on the collimator tusks. The labels on the collimator
handles, in conjunction with the SID, will provide the collimated image size in the two
axes.

A SID measurement tape is mounted on the side of the head, along with protractors
for head positioning accuracy.

Exposure Factors and the X-ray Tube

CAUTION:
All X-ray tubes have the potential to arc during an exposure. If the DRX-Revolution Nano
exhibits this behavior, an error message will be presented. An image will be displayed in the
Image Viewer that may or may not be of diagnostic quality. You should evaluate the image
using the Exposure Index and post-exposure parameters as a guide.

3-10 AF0118 | 2020-04-20

Operation and Use

Feather-light touch positioning of the X-ray tube head is possible due to the use of
Carbon Nano Tube X-ray technology that allows the X-ray tube to weigh just 1.1 kg, in
comparison to conventional tubes of similar performance weighing over 20 kg.

Carbon Nano Tube X-ray Head

Radiographic output voltage is variable from 40 kVp to 110 kVp in 1 kV increments
which are selectable via an embedded touchscreen monitor.
Timed exposures are selectable from 0.2 mAs to 20 mAs, reflecting a time range of 5 ms
to 400 ms. Exposures are indicated both visually and audibly by means of a prep/expose
light on the embedded touch panel assembly that glows green when prepped and
yellow during an exposure, and via a loudspeaker that emits a tone to indicate when
an exposure is taking place.

1. Prep/expose light
2. Speaker

AF0118 | 2020-04-20 3-11

 Operation and Use

Exposure is controlled via a wired exposure switch, which allows the operator to stand
in excess of 2.0 m (6.56 ft.) from the unit while an exposure is taking place, or using an
optional wireless exposure switch that has an operating range of up to 10.0 m
(38.2 ft.).

Note:
The wired exposure switch can be replaced by the user. The switch connector is released by
simply pressing down on the connector tab and removing the connector. The new connector is
then pushed into place.

Time Cycle between Exposures

Integrated software relieves the operator of responsibility for protecting the X-ray
tube; softwareXcontrol automatically ensures the X-ray tube never exceeds thermal
limit.
A 700 Joule threshold is embedded within the software. Any exposure resulting in an
energy output over 700 Joule will enforce a 120 Sec wait period until the next
exposure.
The user interface will notify the user of the cooling time as follows:

Cleaning Instructions
This chapter contains hardware cleaning instructions, Cautions, and maintenance
information from Carestream Health. For complete information concerning Safety and
Regulatory issues, see the Safety & Regulatory Information for the DRX-Revolution
Nano Mobile X-ray System, AC9783, which accompanies the publications for your
system.

With Each Occurrence of Patient Contact

To ensure that the DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System continues to provide
quality performance, periodically clean the exterior.

CAUTION:
Do not spray cleaning solution directly onto the equipment. Moisten a cloth with a 70%
isopropyl alcohol solution and apply top patient contact areas after each contact.

CAUTION:
Isopropyl alcohol is a flammable solvent. Read and follow instruction in the Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS).

CAUTION:
Do not use a flammable spray to clean the machine. If gas from the spray comes into contact
with hot electrical components, fire or electrical shock may result.

CAUTION:
Do not use isopropyl alcohol when the machine is running, as it is a flammable liquid. If this is a
concern keep in mind that batteries always retain a charge.

Important:
Do not let any liquid drip into the cart or its components.

AF0118 | 2020-04-20 5-1

 Maintenance and Safety Information

If spray cleaner is used, spray the cleaning material on a cleaning cloth, and then use the cloth
to clean the machine.

CAUTION:
Do not use cleaning agents like ammonia. These may degrade or discolor the unit.

CAUTION:
Do not use a regular vacuum cleaner as it generates static electricity that can damage the unit.
You can use a battery powered vacuum on the exterior except for the touchscreen monitor.
Follow the instructions for cleaning each of these components:
• Monitors
• Detector
• Plastic components
• Arm assembly

Cleaning the Monitor

A touchscreen monitor is a prime target for dust, fingerprints, and bacteria. At the
same time, a touchscreen monitor is very sensitive, so proper cleaning is important to
maximize its performance and prolong its life.

Important:
Do not spray any liquids onto the screen directly, press gently while cleaning, and do not use a
paper towel as it may cause scratches.

Important:
Power down the system before cleaning the monitor. Press the system off button momentarily
to enter the system standby mode.

5-2 AF0118 | 2020-04-20

Maintenance and Safety Information

CAUTION:
Do not attempt to clean inside the machine or to remove any panels.

CAUTION:
Do not use aerosol sprays directly on or over the machine.
Never use abrasive cleaning products such as abrasive sponges, steel wool pads, abrasive
powdered cleaners, or harsh detergents. Plastic surfaces are easily scratched. This can ruin the
finish. Do not use glass cleaner on plastic. While the damage may not be immediately visible,
over time, glass cleaners will leave the plastic with an appearance that doesn't appear to be
clean. Instead, use sponges, soft cloths, and mild detergents when cleaning plastic.
With a damp, lint-free cloth or an electrostatic dust cloth, wipe the panels, handle,
bins, knobs, and wheels. When moistening a cloth, it is best to use a solution of 70%
isopropyl alcohol. You can also use lint-free foam swabs moistened with rubbing
alcohol or water for wiping hard-to-reach areas. Finish cleaning with a dry, lint-free
cloth to wipe off any moisture.

Cleaning the Arm

Handle the painted arm assembly with care to avoid striking any object, which may
chip the paint.
You can clean the arm using any of these methods:
Use a battery-powered vacuum with a soft nozzle to remove the dust and dirt. Pay
particular attention to corners and side grooves, where build-up of dirt and residue can
occur.

5-4 AF0118 | 2020-04-20

Maintenance and Safety Information

Wipe the surface with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with warm water and a mild
