Generator Calibration 33
10R THEORY - S/N 69-1161 AND HIGHER
The purpose of this procedure is to ensure compliance with FDA requirement 80-8035,
Section 1020.32, part D2 for systems manufactured on or after May 19, 1995. This
requirement refers to the maximum FLUORO dose rate output of 10R/min.
To ensure compliance, the 9600 is limited to 9.26 R/min in all FLUORO modes of
operation (except BOOST). 9.26R/min is used instead of 10R/min to allow for worstcase
equipment tolerances used to calibrate the system.
To satisfy this requirement, the mA Limit File must be modified within generator software
to allow all kV stations a 5.0 mA maximum tube current.
CONFIRM 10R ABS TABLES
You can confirm your system has the correct 10R ABS tables by performing the
following test:
1. Power on the system and allow it to boot completely.
2. Press the ABS SELECT button on the mainframe control panel. Using this key,
toggle through the four available ABS tables comparing them to the following:
STANDARD
CHEST
EXTREMITIES
LOW DOSE
If these options do not appear, select the correct ABS tables as described in the
"10R ABS Table Configuration" procedure located on the next page.
