CHAPTER 11 PLANNED MAINTENANCE
11-1 General
To assure continued performance of this x-ray equipment, a periodic inspection
program must be executed.
The Proteus System does not require any Planned Maintenance activities for the
first 13 months after system installation.
Functional Checks will not indicate that this x-ray system is performing to
specifications. Only regular periodic maintenance can locate potential problems.
It is the owner’s responsibility to supply or arrange for this service.
11-2 HHS Testing
The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has
established performance requirements for diagnostic x-ray equipment. These
requirements are defined in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (21
CFR), and apply only to certain specified components identified as “certified
equipment.”
The manufacturer of specified diagnostic x-ray components must certify that the
components:
1. Perform as required by the HHS standard when installed, adjusted, and
tested as specified in the manufacturer’s instructions to the assembler.
2. Will continue to comply when maintained in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Descriptions of HHS testing are provided in a separate manual (not available at
this time), supplied with the equipment.
11-2-1Cleaning and Disinfecting
This equipment should be cleaned frequently, particularly if corroding chemicals
are present. Use a cloth moistened in warm soapy water (use mild soap) to clean
the trim and nameplate of the Operator’s Controls. Wipe with a cloth moistened
in clean water. Do not use cleaners or solvents of any kind as they may dull the
finish or blur the lettering. Polish with a pure liquid or paste wax. Other surfaces
of the equipment can be cleaned using a clean cloth moistened slightly with a
good mild cleaner and polish acceptable for use on enamelled metal surfaces.
Before each use, equipment surfaces that contact the patient should be cleaned
with an EPA registered, low-level disinfecting or sanitising agent.
On the console, clean the frame and the mylar surface with a lint-free cloth
moistened with alcohol. DO NOT:
1. Use alkaline products.
2. Place objects on the mylar surface which are likely to cause scratches.
3. Use the console to write on.
IN THE EVENT OF EQUIPMENT CONTACTING BROKEN SKIN OR BEING
USED WITH INFECTED OR IMMUNE COMPROMISED PATIENTS, THE
EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE CLEANED USING FDA CLEARED AND EPA
REGISTERED HIGH-LEVEL DISINFECTING AGENTS. CIDEX LIQUID
CHEMICAL GERMICIDE IS RECOMMENDED FOR THIS PURPOSE.
Note: Be sure to follow the label instructions and pre-cautions for use, storage,
and disposal of all disinfecting agents.
