herein contained should be thoroughly read and understood by everyone who will
use the equipment before you attempt to place this equipment in operation. GE
HealthCare will be glad to assist and cooperate in placing this equipment in use.
Although this apparatus incorporates a high degree of protection against x-radiation
other than the useful beam, no practical design of equipment can provide complete
protection. Nor can any practical design compel the operator to take adequate
precautions to prevent the possibility of any persons carelessly exposing themselves
or others to radiation.
It is important that anyone having anything to do with x-radiation be properly
trained and fully acquainted with the recommendations of the National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurements as published in NCRP Reports available
from NCRP Publications, 7910 Woodmont Avenue, Room 1016, Bethesda, Maryland
20814, and of the International Commission on Radiation Protection, and take
adequate steps to protect against injury.
The equipment is sold with the understanding that GE HealthCare, its agents, and
representatives have no responsibility for injury or damage which may result from
improper use of the equipment.
Various protective materials and devices are available. It is urged that such materials
or devices be used.

ments
Application
kVp and mA accuracy: At installation, periodic maintenance, and repair.
kVp and mA accuracy applies to all tubes in system.
Requirements
NOTE
Specified accuracy refers to technic accuracy statements made in the Product
Specification section of generator operating manuals.
1. kVp Accuracy – Actual kVp shall match selected kVp within the “specified accuracy”.
2. mA Accuracy – Actual mA shall match selected mA within the “specified accuracy”.
Each connected tube and generator forms a distinct X-Ray system. The tube usually limits the
range and combination of technic factors. Thus, accuracy of kVp and mA selections applies
only within ratings of the tube and focal spot used, even though selections beyond tube
ratings are available at the control.
mA and kVp limits for tubes are shown by curves on radiographic rating charts. The charts have
curves of mA or kW values. Selected mA must never exceed the largest mA value shown. For
kVp, the selection must never be less than the lowest kVp on the mA curve, whether it ends
at the bottom of the kVp scale or at a definite point above. This minimum kVp limit is necessary
for practical space charge compensation to meet accuracy requirements and to preserve
filament life. For maximum kVp, tube protector circuits are set to limit kVp approximately
where the mA curve crosses the selected time value.
Set up HHS data spreadsheet on laptop computer per 46–017560, HHS TOOLS.
Procedure
1. Be sure that generator panel meter accuracy has been verified. Refer to service manual for
procedure. Measure and record line voltage into generator.
2. Use non-invasive divider (refer to Figure 1-3 Detector Positioning for kVp

Application
mA accuracy: at installation, periodic maintenance, and repair.
mA accuracy applies to all tubes in system.
The tests described in this evaluation plan verify the accuracy of the mA in manual mode by
comparing the mA values entered manually into the system to the mA value measured by the VAMP
generator through its internal mAs meter.
Scope
Test accuracy between mA command and mA measured by the VAMP mAs–meter for various kV,
PW, fps, focalspot and acquisition modes.
Procedure
NOTE
Configure the system to perform manual acquisitions.
1. Select the X-220-Fluoro running at 30 fps.
2. Enter the value for kV, pulse–width and mA according to the table below in the range allowed
by the system and enter these values into the system.
NOTE
At low mA feedback, a part of the inaccuracy comes from the quantization step
(0.025) on this signal.
3. Perform a fluoro acquisition with these values for approximately 20 seconds.
4. Read the VAMP average mA feedback displayed on Titan Console just before the end of the
Fluoro acquisition.

1.12 REG0060 - Indirect Linearity


ments

For convenience, this test uses kVp - -
and mA accuracy data for an indirect
test of linearity. If system passes test
of REG0054 - Technique Accuracy -
Generator Timer on page 21, this
section is also satisfied and no fur-
ther testing is necessary.
Application
Linearity: Radiographic and Spot-Film tube units supplied by the same generator. At installation,
periodic maintenance, and repair. The requirements apply even across focal spots, e.g., highest mA
on small spot compared to low mA on large spot. An exception is if the small spot is .45 mm or less.
For equipment manufactured after May 3, 1994, the requirements will be extended to units that
have only mAs selections.
Linearity requirements apply to all tube units used directly for filming and which can be operated
at more than one mA station. Consequently, linearity requirements do not apply to:
• Spot-film tube operated at one mA value.
• Tube used only with an image intensifier, whether for fluoro or for recording.
Procedure
NOTE
If a system passes the Indirect Linearity test, there’s no need to perform the Direct
Linearity test, unless some of the indirect test data is marginal. If System fails Indirect
Linearity you must either verify compliance via the Direct Linearity Test or readjust the
system and perform the Indirect Test again.
1. Perform test of REG0054 - Technique Accuracy - Generator Timer on page 21.
2. Ensure the test is passed.

to perform Procedure 2 - For exposures made without the use of A.E.C on page 62. Follow the
instructions that pop up on the laptop computer Form 3382 for this test.
1. For overhead X-Ray tubes, place 1–1/2 (3.8 cm) aluminum on the table. Center the radiation
probe 30 cm (12 in.) above the table. Adjust the SID to about 100 cm. Align the bucky. For
undertable X-Ray tubes, assemble the attenuation block assembly from the HHS kit and place
it on the table. Center the probe beneath the assembly. Position the spot-filmer about 30 cm
above the table.
2. Collimate to a field about 5 inches square (13 cm square).
3. Select 80 kVp and mA such that the exposures will be at least 0.1 second long.

4. NOTE
Test is applicable at any kVp and mA setting.
Measure the exposure in mR for each of 10 exposures (data sheet provided). After each
exposure, recycle the rotor and the technique switches; that is, set the switches to other values
and then return them to the original values. Be sure to vary the time between spot-film transfer
and exposure start to record any filament heating variations.
5. Enter the data onto the laptop computer Form 3382. If system fails this test, there may be a
defective ion chamber.
Procedure 2 - For exposures made without the use of A.E.C

1. For either overhead or undertable X-Ray tubes, place the probe at approximately 100 cm from
the focal spot. Avoid probe saturation (refer to 46–017560, HHS TOOLS).
2. Select 80 kVp, 0.1 second, and 400 mA to yield 100 mR to 300 mR per exposure.
3. NOTE
Test is applicable at any kVp and mA setting.
Collimate to a field approximately 5 inches square, (13 cm square).
4. Measure the mR for each of 10 exposures. After each exposure, recycle the rotor and the
technic switches; that is, set the switches to other values and then return them to the original
values. Be sure to vary the time between spot–film transfer and exposure start to take into
account any filament heating variations.
system defect. Repair as necessary.
Procedure 3 - For tomographic systems

NOTE
If the system is operable in non-tomo mode, the previous two procedures are also
applicable.
1. Place the probe on a stand 10 cm above the table. Adjust the focal plane height to 10 cm. On
transaxial systems, use the collimator light field to determine the appropriate height for the
probe.
2. Select common tomographic technique factors, e.g., 80 kVp, 100 mA, and adjust for a large
sweep angle at medium speed.
3. Make a sweep without radiation, and, using the collimator light field, ensure that the probe is
contained within the field during the entire sweep.
4. Select backup time longer than sweep time and measure the exposure in mR for each of 10
sweeps. After each exposure, recycle the rotor and the technique switches; that is, set the
switches to other values and then return them to the original values. Observe tomo motor
cooling times.

Problem Possible Cause 1

Coefficient of • Poor kVp reproducibility (deadband). In AEC mode this affects kVp compensation on

variation too some systems.
high • Improper rotor acceleration delay, improper spotfilm transfer delay, improper fila-
ment boost. All of these will determine if filament is up to temperature when expo-
sure occurs. On AEC systems, a variable filament temperature results in kVp variations
which lead to kVp compensation errors.
• On Tomographic Systems, variations in sweep speed or angle will affect reproducibili-
ty. Always test the non-tomo mode first.

Application - For radiographic modes without AEC:

At installation, preventive maintenance, and repair. Use this method whenever indirect linearity
test fails.
Requirements
1. The average ratios of exposure to the selected mAs (mR/mAs) obtained at any two consecutive
tube current settings, shall not differ by more than 0.10 times their sum (rejection limit = 0.09).
That is:
where and are the averages of 10 mR/mAs values obtained at each of two consecutive
tube current settings.
NOTE
If the above relationship is rewritten as: then the

term on the right can be referred to as the coefficient of linearity. So defined, we
can state the requirement as the coefficient of linearity (C.L.)” shall not exceed
0.10 (rejection limit = 0.09).
2. You must make 10 exposures per mA station and not 4 as is common for FDA inspection.
Remember that the FDA is merely looking for non-compliance, but you are trying to prove
compliance (passing a test with 4 exposures does not guarantee compliance).
Procedure
1. For overhead X–Ray tubes, place the probe approximately 100 cm (39.37 in.) from the focal
spot. For undertable X-Ray tubes, attach the probe to a stand and place it about 30 cm (12 in.)
above the table.
2. Select kVp and mA equal to the values where the system failed or was marginal in the Indirect
Linearity Test. Adjust timer to at least .01 seconds but not less than 20 mAs.
3. Collimate to a field about 5 inches square (13 cm square).
4. Set the rate meter to integrate mode and measure the total exposure for 10 exposures. Recycle
the rotor but not the technique switches after each exposure.
