INTRODUCTION 1

Congratulations!

You have acquired the CPI Indico 100 series high frequency X-ray generator. This generator features

state-of-the-art computer-based control to ensure minimum patient dose, excellent repeatability, and

superior contrast. The operator control functions are designed to be simple and user-friendly.

The AEC (Automatic Exposure Control) and APR (Anatomical Programming) features give you controlled

exposure factors, automatically optimized for the radiological study selected.

Keep this operator’s manual with the equipment at all times, and periodically review the operating and safety

instructions.

SAFETY / WARNING SYMBOLS

Warning symbol used to indicate a potential hazard

to operators, service personnel or to the equipment.

It indicates a requirement to refer to the

accompanying documentation for details.

Radiation exposure symbol used on operator

console. Lights to indicate that an exposure is in

progress. This is accompanied by an audible tone

from the console.

Fluoro radiation exposure symbol used on operator

console and on optional remote fluoro control unit.

Lights to indicate that a fluoro exposure is in

progress. This is accompanied by an audible tone

from the console.

WARNING THIS X-RAY UNIT MAY BE

DANGEROUS TO PATIENT AND

OPERATOR UNLESS SAFE

EXPOSURE FACTORS AND

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ARE OBSERVED.

Radiation warning label on console, used in certain

jurisdictions.

Never allow unqualified personnel to operate the X-

ray generator.

WARNING: PROPER USE AND SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES WITH RESPECT TO X-RAY

GENERATORS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USERS OF SUCH GENERATORS. CPI

CANADA INC. PROVIDES INFORMATION ON ITS PRODUCTS AND ASSOCIATED

HAZARDS, BUT ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITIES FOR AFTER-SALE OPERATING AND

SAFETY PRACTICES.

CPI CANADA INC. ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY GENERATOR NOT

MAINTAINED OR SERVICED ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE AND INSTALLATION MANUAL

OR ANY GENERATOR THAT HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY WAY.

CPI CANADA INC. ALSO ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR X-RAY RADIATION

OVEREXPOSURE OF PATIENTS OR PERSONNEL RESULTING FROM POOR OPERATING

TECHNIQUES OR PROCEDURES.

WARNING: THIS X-RAY UNIT MAY BE DANGEROUS TO PATIENT AND OPERATOR UNLESS SAFE

EXPOSURE FACTORS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ARE OBSERVED.

X-ray radiation exposure may be damaging to health, with some effects being cumulative and extending over

periods of many months or even years. X-ray operators should avoid any exposure to the primary beam and

take protective measures to safeguard against scatter radiation. Scatter radiation is caused by any object in the

path of the primary beam and may be of equal or less intensity than the primary beam that exposes the film.

No practical design can incorporate complete protection for operators or service personnel who do not take

adequate safety precautions. Only authorized and properly trained service and operating personnel should

be allowed to work with this X-ray generator equipment. The appropriate personnel must be made aware of

the inherent dangers associated with the servicing of high voltage equipment and the danger of excessive

exposure to X-ray radiation during system operation.

• Wear protective clothing. Protective aprons with an equivalent of a minimum of 1/64” (0.35 mm) of lead are

recommended.

• To protect the patient against radiation, always use radiation protection accessories in addition to devices

which are fitted to the X-ray equipment.

• Keep as large a distance as possible away from the object being exposed and the X-ray tube assembly.

• This X-ray equipment may only be operated in medical rooms which meet IEC requirements.

• Never operate this X-ray equipment in areas where there is a risk of explosion. Detergents and disinfectants,

including those used on patients, may create explosive mixtures of gases. Please observe the relevant

regulations.

• The operator console, or anything electrically connected to it, must never be used within 6 ft (1.8 m) of the

patient environment.

• Only trained maintenance staff may remove the covers of the generator cabinet and the control console.

Do not connect unapproved equipment to the rear of the console: J5 is for the interconnect

cable to the generator main cabinet, J2 is a serial port for use by an external computer, and

J13 is for connection of an external hand switch and / or foot switch. INCORRECT

CONNECTIONS OR USE OF UNAPPROVED EQUIPMENT MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.

CONSULT YOUR SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE IF EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT IS TO

BE CONNECTED TO THIS SYSTEM. PERIPHERAL DEVICES SHOULD BE IEC 601-1

APPROVED IF LOCATED IN THE PATIENT AREA, AND IEC 950 APPROVED IF OUTSIDE

THE PATIENT AREA.

CAUTION: DO NOT EXCEED THE TUBE MAXIMUM OPERATING LIMITS SHOWN IN THE SECTION X-

RAY TUBE DATA AT THE END OF THE OPERATOR’S MANUAL. INTENDED LIFE AND

RELIABILITY WILL NOT BE OBTAINED UNLESS GENERATORS ARE OPERATED WITHIN

PUBLISHED SPECIFICATIONS.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)

In accordance with the intended use, this X-ray generator complies with the European Council Directive

concerning Medical Devices. The CE marking affixed to this product signifies this. One of the harmonized

standards of this Directive defines the permitted levels of electromagnetic emission from this equipment and its

required immunity from the electromagnetic emissions of other devices.

It is not possible, however, to exclude with absolute certainty the possibility that other high frequency electronic

equipment, which is fully compliant to the EMC regulations, will not adversely affect the operation of this generator.

If the other equipment has a comparatively high level of transmission power and is in close proximity to the

generator, these EMC concerns (the risk of interference) may be more pronounced. It is therefore recommended

that the operation of equipment of this type such as mobile telephones, cordless microphones and other similar

mobile radio equipment be restricted from the vicinity of this X-ray generator.
