Preface
Precaution in Use
When using this equipment, please observe the following precautions for the safety of
the operator and patient.
Considerations against exposure to X-rays

Improper use of the X-ray equipment might cause the operator or patient to be
accidentally exposed to X-ray radiation. During X-ray radiation, any person
other than the subject patient should not stay in the irradiation room. If
circumstances compel any non-subject person to stay in the room, enough
protection should be provided for that person. Only radio-therapeutic or other
qualified personnel should handle the equipment.
Precautions on mechanical safety

Take care not to catch hands of patients or operators between the Bucky
device and strut when moving the Bucky device.
Emergency Procedures
To stop the all movement of the equipment in an emergency, push the "STOP"
switch (Option). The power supply to the equipment is cut off. The "STOP"
switch (red switches) is located on the side of the main body.
Don’t splash this equipment with water because there is a risk of electric
shock.
This operation manual does not cover the X-ray high voltage generator, X-ray tube
support, and X-ray collimator.

Preface
Notes for Users

Use the following cassette for the Bucky device. Other cassette can not be used.
cm or inch size cassette based on IEC standard 60406.
Attenuation equivalent is not greater than 1.6Vmm Al.

Less than 15mm thickness.
All parts of the cassette such as hinges, locks and marking device shall be
within the minimum radii for carners and edges.
Flatness shall be less than 1mm warp.
Action for Environment

Contact Shimadzu service representative when disposing the product or parts.
Materials in the system may be discarded and pollute the environment upon improper
disposal.
To all user of Shimadzu equipment in the European Union:

3
transversal is the center of Bucky device. Face the X-ray tube of X-ray tube
support toward the X-ray radiography stand.

3 Operation
J Operation of X-ray radiography stand
Confirm no patient is positioned where the X-ray tube support declines.

Touching X-ray tube support may cause injury.
Two kinds of tracking operation with X-ray tube support are as follows:
For setting of full-automatic tracking operation or semi-automatic one, make a choice
between the two on installation. Consult Shimadzu service representative for setting the
function.
Full-automatic operation
• Moving upward/downward the Bucky device of X-ray radiography stand
manually, the X-ray tube support tracks with X-ray radiography stand.
Semi-automatic operation
• Pressing both tracking switches of X-ray radiography stand and X-ray tube
support, the X-ray tube support tracks with X-ray radiography stand.
• During tracking operation, press either tracking switch of X-ray tube support
or X-ray radiography stand, so that the tracking operation will be stopped.
• If there is a possibility that the X-ray tube support contacts the X-ray
radiography stand, it once stops and continuous beep sounds
(Approx. 5 seconds).
If the tracking switch is pressed again, while the X-ray tube support will
sound beep, it descends at a low speed, and continues to descend until the
tracking switch is released. So, position the X-ray tube unit in contact with
X-ray radiography stand with care.
• It is not a malfunction that the X-ray tube support once goes beyond too far
and returns to the predetermined position for alignment.

3.8 Operation of Tracking Device (Option)

5.1.1 Classification of equipment
J The class of protection against electric shock 5

Class I equipment
5
It means that CLASS I EQUIPMENT, that is, equipment in which protection
against electric shock does not rely on BASIC INSULATION only, but which
includes an additional safety precaution in that means are provided for the
connection of the equipment to the protective earth conductor in the fixed wiring
of the installation in such a way that accessible metal parts can not become live
in the event of a failure of the basic insulation. (International standard
IEC60601-1 Second edition 1988).

5 Specifications
J The degree of protection against electric shock

Type B equipment
It means TYPE B EQUIPMENT, that is, equipment providing a particular degree

of protection against electric shock, particularly regarding:
- allowable leakage current;
- reliability of the protective earth connection.
(International standard IEC60601-1 Second edition 1988).
J The degree of protection against harmful ingress of water

Ordinary equipment
The main body of this unit is not protected against immersion of liquid.
Never use this unit in a place in which immersion of liquid may occur.
Never spill liquid on the surface or in the inside of this unit. Otherwise,
electrical shock may occur. When liquid is split, contact our office or
representative described on the back cover of the operation manual.
J The degree of safety of application in the presence of a

flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous
oxide
Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with
air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide
Risk of explosion if used in the presence of flammable anesthetics.

1.6mm diameter for grounding wire. 6
5
Do not expose the device to drastic temperature or humidity fluctuations
even under the above mentioned conditions.
Such a rapid ambient fluctuation causes the occurrence of condensation
resulting in damages rust and corrosion in the device.
5
Also, condensation within the device may cause rust and corrosion.
Under a low temperatures, frosts may damage the internal circuit.

5 Specifications
Rust and corrosion may be generated caused by dew inside this unit.
The internal circuits may be damaged by frozen dew caused by low
temperature. Pay rigid attention when this unit is stored in a place with
drastic difference in temperature and humidity such as warehouse.
5.2.3 EMC (Electro-Magnetic Compatibility) [For Europe]
• This system belongs to Group 1 and Class A equipment in accordance to

EN60601-1-2:1993.
• The system uses radio-frequency energy only for its internal function and is not
intended to deliver enrgy to patient. But little leakage radio-frequency energy
does harm to high-sensitive equipment.
• The system main power line in the clinical site should be connected to the
domestic power sources which are separated from the public main network.
