Cautions Relating to Cellular Telephones
Do not bring cellular telephones or related devices into the

examination room.
Do not bring mobile devices that emit electromagnetic waves (e.g. cellular
telephones) into the examination room unless they are switched OFF.
Such devices can exceed the EMC electromagnetic wave standards, and
under some conditions this can impair the proper functioning of the
system. In the worst case, this can cause serious injuries or clinical errors.

Introduction
Cautions on the Compatibility of Electromagnetic Fields
UD 150B-40/UD150L-40/UD150V-40 needs special precautions regarding

EMC and needs to be installed and use according to the EMC information
provided in this operation manual
"11.6 Environmental Conditions of EMC (Electro-Magnetic Compatibility)"
Check that the electromagnetic fields are compatible.

All peripheral devices must satisfy the EMC standards regarding emission
of electromagnetic waves and sensitivity to emitted electromagnetic
waves. Devices that do not satisfy these standards may disturb the correct
functioning of the system. In the worst case, this can cause serious injuries
or clinical errors.
UD 150B-40/UD150L-40/UD150V-40 should not be used adjacent to or

stacked with other equipment and that if adjacent or stacked use is
necessary, UD150B-40/L-40/V-40 should be observed to verify normal
operation in the configuration in which it will be used.

Introduction
Cautions on Radiation
Do not allow operation of this apparatus by any person other than

qualified personnel (physicians, radiotherapy engineers and clinical
X-ray engineers) or under observation by them.
Be aware of the potential for X-ray irradiation.

If X-ray equipment is not used correctly the operator, the subject, and
other persons may receive a greater dose of radiation than is necessary.
Nobody other than the subject should remain in the examination room
during irradiation. If for some reason another person has to be in the
examination room, that person must take adequate measures to protect
themselves against radiation (protective apron, screen, etc.).
Be sure to carry out aging before taking an X-ray radiograph.

Before taking an X-ray radiograph, running-in operation of the X-ray tube
assembly called "aging" is required
"X-ray Tube Aging" (Introduction-13)

Introduction
In exposure, if a standby situation continues with the exposure ready key

pressed, wire disconnection or dielectric strength failure may result owing
to the vaporization of the X-ray tube filament, so avoid unnecessary
standby situations.
After the X-ray tube assembly is used for a long time at a relatively low
tube voltage (below 80 kV), if it is used in the range near the nominal
highest tube voltage (100 kV or more), an arc may result. This is an
accidental arc caused by the weakened aging effect at high tube voltage
after the X-ray tube assembly is used for a long time at a lower tube
voltage. In this case, carry out the aging procedure before operating the
apparatus.

Introduction
Operating Precautions
(1) Installation of the apparatus shall be made by the apparatus

manufacturer or the dealer (referred to as the trader thereafter). If
relocation is intended after installation, contact the trader.
(2) Pay attention to the following items before use of the apparatus.
(i) Operation of switches, meters, etc. and state of connection of high-voltage
cables and earth cord
(ii) Setting of adjusters to appropriate exposure conditions for fluoroscopic or
radiographic operation.
(3) Be careful of the following items during operation of the apparatus.
(i) Do not allow excess from the exposure time and amount required for
diagnosis.
(ii) In addition to the apparatus display circuit, always observe the whole
apparatus and the patient for freedom from any problems.
(iii)If any problem is found with the apparatus or the patient, take a proper
action such as shut-down of the apparatus in state securing safety of the
patient, etc.
(vi)Do not allow the patient to touch the apparatus unnecessarily.
(4) Observe the following items after end of operation of the apparatus.
(i) For sake of safety, leave open the hand switch to which the apparatus
power cord is connected.
(ii) Make sure of cleanliness of the apparatus, so that no problem is brought
about with the next operation.
(5) In the case of occurrence of a trouble, do not take any operation for
yourself, but make a proper sign. For compensation or repair, take an
appropriate treatment based on judgment of a qualified person, or
contact the trader or serviceman.
(6) Do not disconnect cords, cables and other connections, unless it is
required.

Introduction
X-ray Tube Aging
Aging is effective to confirm that there is no failure in the X-ray tube unit as well as
to prevent electric discharge. In the event of abnormal operation, turn off the unit's
power and distribution board and contact your Shimadzu representative.

(xi) 90 kV, 0.1 sec. Once
(xii) 100 kV, 0.1 sec. Once
(xiii) 110 kV, 0.1 sec. Once
∗ Tube current (mA) should be the maximum that can be selected for each kV value.
(xiv) 120 kV, 0.1 sec. Select an mA value of about 1/2 per time.
To use the unit for high-pressure radiography (130 kV or more), perform aging
up to the tube voltage to be used.
(xv) 130 kV, 0.1 sec. Once
(xvi) 140 kV, 0.1 sec. Once
(xvii)145 kV, 0.1 sec. Once
∗ Tube current (mA) should be the maximum that can be selected for each kV value.
(xviii)150 kV, 0.1 sec. Select a mA value of about 1/2 per time.
(2) If an error occurs during aging, wait for one minute and reduce the tube
voltage by 30 kV and perform radiographic operation.
(3) For an X-ray tube unit with two or more focuses, make sure that they
can be changed during radiographic operation.
(4) If there are two or more X-ray tube units, perform aging for each unit.
(5) When fluoroscopic operation can be performed, perform the operation
at 50 kV, increase the tube voltage at the rate of 10 kV/min. up to the
nominal maximum voltage, and perform fluoroscopic operation at the
nominal maximum voltage for five minutes.
