For Safe Operation

· Judgment and caution should be used in regards to radiographs of pregnant women. The
decision should be based on “clinical need of diagnostic information”.
· When an examination requires X-ray irradiation to implantable or wearable electronic med-
ical device, the operator must take proper care after referring to the operation manual (and related safety information) for such implantable or wearable electronic medical devices because if a diagnostic X-ray device directly irradiates an implantable or wearable electronic medical device, it can cause sufficient electronic interference to affect the function and operation of the medical device.
* For reference, U.S.A. FDA published about interference with cardiac implantable electronic devices (pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators), insulin pumps, and neurostimulators on the following web site. (Accessed July 2018) Title: Interference between CT and Electronic Medical Devices URL: https://www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/RadiationSafety/ElectromagneticCompatibilityEMC/ucm489704.htm
· Electromagnetic wave interference could cause this device to operate in an abnormal, ran-
dom and possibly dangerous manner. Mobile terminals, smart devices, transceivers, remote controls and all other devices which transmit electromagnetic waves located inside the building should be turned off.
· Interference from the 3D Accuitomo, devices listed below might malfunction or operate in a
random, unexpected and dangerous manner. 1. Electrical diagnostic, examination or treatment devices. 2. Personal computers
· This equipment must be installed in an X-ray shield location. Local regulation for radiation
protection must be observed.
· The control box and emission button must be installed in a radiation protected area. · The X-ray protection area should consist of a wall, floor and ceiling with a minimum of
1.5 mm lead shielding or its equivalent and should have glass windows with a minimum of 1.5 mm lead shielding or its equivalent, through which the operator can observe the patient. A sign should clearly identify the area as an x-ray protection area, and a caution sign should light up during x-ray emission. Observe local regulations.
· The patient must be provided with appropriate X-ray protection gear such as lead-impregnat-
ed clothing that conforms to local regulations.
· Proper infection control procedures must be established and maintained for each patient. · It is strongly suggested that no unauthorized personnel be in the immediate area when the
equipment is in use.
· This unit is not designed for and must not be used for “fluoroscopic examinations”. · Proper radiation safety precautions must be established in accordance with local, state and
governmental regulations in regards to operator and patient protection. The ultimate responsibility lies with the owner/operator to ensure that the protection requirements of national and local codes are met.
· The operator must be able to see the exposure emissions lights and hear the audible signal
during operation of the equipment.
· The operator must be able to see and hear the patient during the operation of the equipment. · Responsible organization in medical institution needs for providing means for audio and
visual communication between the operator and the patient.
· It may not be possible to make a diagnostically useful exposure if the patient has metal fill-
ings or prosthetic devices.
· Do not use multiple portable socket outlet nor extension cord for the system power supply.
v

· The EQUIPMENT should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment and that if
adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the EQUIPMENT should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
· This equipment must only be operated by doctors, dentists, properly licensed persons and
other legally qualified professionals.
· Use this equipment only within an x-ray protection area. · Take steps and precautions to prevent entry into the x-ray protection area during x-ray emis-
sion.
· Do not use this equipment for patients when it is being maintained or serviced. · Make sufficient space around the Main Switch so that it is easily accessible in case of emer-
gency.
· Make sufficient space around the Power distribution panel so that it is easily to breaker open
in case of emergency.
· To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to the supply
mains with protective earth.
· Do not touch simultaneously the patient and the conductive parts, such as the connector
terminals.
· The examination protocols must be created by your facility. The examination protocols are
not preloaded on the device.
vi

· There may be ring-shaped artifacts in the reconstructed images caused by unavoidable gain
inconsistencies in the photodiode arrays on the flat panel. Please note that these kinds of artifacts may sometimes stand out especially in the area close to the rotation center on the axial slice images and can be an obstacle in diagnosis.
· There may be some visible dots or lines on the X-ray images during image acquisition.
These lines are caused by unavoidable gain inconsistencies in the flat panel. The presence of these dots and lines does not indicate that the panel is defective.
· This equipment is suitably designed for hard tissues such as teeth and bones. It may not be
useful for soft tissue diagnosis.
· This equipment does not provide CT Numbers (required in 21 CFR 1020.33 and
IEC60601-2-44) or any equivalent values calculated from the absolute x-ray absorption of the target material.
· The x-ray images could be affected by either constant or intermittent environmental electro-
magnetic noise. This could cause image distortions or shifts that could render the obtained images useless for diagnosis.
· Quality Tests should be performed regularly once every six months (once a month recom-
mended) to maintain the conditions for adequate image performance and x-ray safety of the equipment. The test procedure is described in the Quality Tests Procedure manual that will be provided with the equipment. Other basic functions such as mechanical movements, LCD panel display and Control Panel keys should also be checked each day before use.
· CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT: A Class 1 laser is used for the optical interface. · To use the x-ray head assembly under appropriate loading conditions, leave an interval of
approximately 5 minutes for each irradiation and leave an additional 15 minutes after every 3 irradiations.
· The rotating green circle also works as the READY key.
Be cautious of the arm rotation as it returns to the ready position when you touch this green circle.

Automatic Cooling Intervals of X-Ray Head

· To use the x-ray head assembly under appropriate load conditions, leave an interval of
approximately 5 minutes for each irradiation and leave an additional 15 minutes after every 3 irradiations.
After each irradiation, the system will automatically leave a short interval calculated from the amount of energy based on the current settings of tube voltage, tube current and scan time to cool the x-ray tube down. Also, after every 4 irradiations, the system requires an additional cooling time of 15 minutes in order to cool down the x-ray head and high voltage circuit.
When one scan is completed, a green circle and “Remaining Time” will appear at the top of the LCD panel. While the green circle is rotating, the remaining time counts down. When the remaining time reaches zero, the circle will change to “Ready”.
The green dots below the green circle indicate the remaining number of irradiations allowed before a longer cooling interval is required. For example, when there are three dots shown, there are three irradiations possible before the 15-minute cooling interval.

Remaining number of irradiations allowed before the long 15-minute cooling interval

· The rotating green circle also works as the
READY key.
Be cautious of the arm rotation as it re-
turns to the ready position when you
touch this green circle.

As shown in the figure on the left, there is only one orange dot left in the indicator. This means that there is only one irradiation remaining before the longer cooling interval. After the last irradiation, you must wait for 15 minutes for the system to cool down and be ready for the next set of irradiations.

The default cooling intervals applied are automatically calculated from the minimum requirements of the related components. Regardless of the default cooling intervals, please try to leave as much time as possible between irradiations to ensure the system will continue to provide good quality images for the longest possible time.

5. Service Life, Consumables, and Replacement Parts

Service life refers to the standard period the unit or individual components can be expected to be usable as long as inspection and maintenance procedures specified by J. MORITA MFG. CORP. are followed.
Component Service Life List refers to components that can be expected to wear out, degrade or break depending on frequency and conditions of usage, which greatly affects how long these components retain their performance standards.
Consumables refer to parts and components that inevitably are degraded and need to be replaced periodically and are not covered by the warranty.
The product warranty is good for 3 years after delivery.
The components on the Component Service Life List that are noted “Yes” are critical for safety. These components must be inspected and replaced or have appropriate maintenance performed as necessary without fail before their standard service life expires.
The user must pay for parts and repairs that are performed after the warranty expires or the part has passed its specified service life. However, if a maintenance contract has been agreed to, this will depend on the contents of that contract.
For details concerning regular inspection and parts replacements, contact your local dealer or J. MORITA OFFICE.

*1 The service life of the X-ray tube depends on the number and length of exposures it is used for as well as the output (tube voltage and current) and the time between exposures. Of these factors, the most critical is the number of exposures which degrades the anode. As the anode gradually degrades, stable output is lost, and the circuit protection system detects errors and terminates X-ray emission.
*2 The service life of the X-ray detector mainly depends on the ambient conditions (temperature and humidity) where it is used and the accumulated amount of X radiation it receives. As the accumulated amount of received X radiation increases, the sensitivity of the detector is gradually degraded. High humidity can also lead to degradation. Semiconductor degradation caused by X radiation and the disparities for individual semiconductor units can cause parts of the detector to lose sensitivity. Loss of sensitivity can be remedied to some degree by performing sensitivity compensation and calibration during regular inspections, but partial sensitivity degradation cannot always be corrected.

Problem

Conceivable Cause

Solution

· Lines are superimposed on the image.
· A part of the image is lost.
· The image is entirely black.

* Noise may have been introduced.

One of the following symptoms is encountered:
· While in use, the unit behaves the same way as it does when it first turns on.
· The switch does not work.

* The power supply may have been momentarily
interrupted.

Temporarily turn the power off, and after confirming that the patient and the user are in a safe place, turn it back on again and ensure that the CT unit operates normally.
Make sure the power used for the CT unit is 120 VAC with a capacity of 20 A for EX-1, 220/230/240 VAC with a capacity of 10 A for EX-2 or more and supplied from a single, devoted circuit, and that the power is properly grounded. During scanning, do not use any other device in the vicinity that may generate noise.

7. Cautionary Remarks on Imaging
Artifacts Due to Sensitivity Discrepancies of the Flat Panel Detector
The flat-panel detector (FPD) is an extremely dense and precise array of photo diodes (pixels). By compensating for the discrepancy in pixel sensitivity, the image can show greater detail than ordinary fluoroscopy. However, this discrepancy cannot be completely eliminated when a CT image is reconstructed. To make a CT image, the X-ray beam rotates around the object and produces a fluoroscopic image. Points away from the center of the imaging area move on the imaging surface depending on the angle of their projection. This tends to even out the fluctuations in sensitivity, but it does not completely eliminate them. (See Fig. 1.) Therefore, artifacts can appear near the center of the imaging area as shown in Fig. 2. The appearance of these artifacts depends somewhat on the exposure conditions and the X-ray transparency of the object. To make a detailed analysis and precise diagnosis, the radiologist must carefully take into consideration the possibility and nature of artifacts.

Rotation

Focal Point Imaging Surface

Focal Point Imaging Surface

Center is always projected onto the same area of the imaging surface regardless of the angle of projection.

Note: View from above the plane of rotation

A point near the center is projected onto different places on the imaging surface depending on the angle (i.e., it moves on the imaging surface).

Fig. 2 Example of an Artifact 56

Artifacts due to Metal Prosthetics Useful images may not be possible if a patient has metal fillings or prosthetic devices, and it is usually impossible to make a useful image of a crown if it is right next to a metal prosthetic. Also it is sometimes impossible to make useful images of a root or jaw bone if there is a metal post, crown or other prosthetic right next to it. Photos 3 through 9 were made of a mandible model with various metal prosthetics, posts and canal fillings to demonstrate what needs to be taken in consideration for accurate diagnosis and analysis.

Artifacts for 180° Exposures
For 180º exposures, when the X-ray beam passes through the lower plane (a) in Figure 10, the result is the flat shape shown in Figure 11, where the beginning of 180º circuit matches the end of the circuit. However, when the X-ray beam passes through the upper plane (b) in Figure 10, the result is the conical shape shown in Figure 12, where there is a discontinuity between the beginning and end of the circuit.
Therefore, some slight streaking appears in a 180º exposure that does not appear in a 360º exposure (Figure 13). These streaks run in the direction of the rotation. As a result, some semi-circular artifacts appear in the Z-plane image, and these must be recognized and taken into consideration for accurate diagnosis and analysis.

User Information document

X-ray Dose Information
The following image information is recorded for each exposure. · Dose Area Product (DAP) (mGy × cm2) · tube voltage average (kV) · tube current average (mA)

Refer to the application’s software manual as the displayed image information differs according to the application software.
The Dose Area Product (DAP) (mGy × cm2) may not be displayed depending on the application software.
The displayed Dose Area Product refers to the tube voltage (kV)/current (mA) for each exposure. The Dose Area Product is calculated based on typical measurement results. The Dose Area Product displayed is the multiplication product of the air kerma and the size of the radiation field. These values are typical values and are not the measured Dose Area Products for each X-ray exposure. The air kerma is calculated by divided the Dose Area Product by the X-ray field size. The accuracy of the air kerma and the Dose Area Product do not exceed ±50%. The dose meter to check and maintain the accuracy of the Dose Area Product indications shall be calibrated at the appropriate energy.
Method used to estimate dose area product: Measured by DAP (Dosage Area Product) meter. The DAP meter is calibrated according to the instructions in the accompanying user manual. The DAP meter is attached to the front of the X-ray head. Be careful it does not fall and that its wiring is properly routed.

Leakage Technique Factors
90 kV, 600 mAs/h (90 kV, 10 mA, duty cycle 1:59, for example 17.5 s exposure per 17.2 min cool-down period)

Measurement Bases
The tube voltage kV is measured by differentially monitoring the current flowing through 450 M, 1% feedback resistors connected between the tube anode and ground. The tube current mA is measured by monitoring the current in the HT return line, which equals the tube current.
The exposure time. Starting point of exposure is determined at the time when the kV value reaches to 75% of the average kV. Termination of exposure is determined at the time when the kV value decreases to 75% of the average kV.
Test instruction of X-ray tube voltage, current and exposure time: Constant (manual) exposure mode.

Where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer, E is the compliance level in V/m and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m).

Field strengths from field RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey(a), should
be less than the compliance level in each frequency range(b).

Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the follow-
ing symbol:

NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
(a) Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for ratio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicated theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which this device is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, this device should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting of relocating this device.
(b) Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
(c) The ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) bands between 0.15 MHz and 80 MHz are 6.765 MHz to 6.795 MHz; 13.553 MHz to 13.567 MHz; 26.957 MHz to 27.283 MHz; and 40.66 MHz to 40.70 MHz.
