CT Safety Training - Hardware Video

City safety training. Hardware. Topics to be covered in this video include. General considerations. Visual checks temperature ranges of operation. Patient safety during scan. And cleaning presence of liquids and food. Important general considerations. For the secure operation of your medical device, it is the responsibility of the system owner to ensure that each person who operates the system reads and understands the provided instructions for use. Only trained and qualified users certified in accordance with country specific regulations are authorized to operate the system. For example, physicians, radiologists or technologists. For the secure operation of your medical device, perform the daily quality test every day before you start the actual examinations. Make sure that maintenance is performed at the recommended intervals. Check the imaging performance with the monthly constancy test. Visual check before use. Perform visual check of system components or accessories before usage to check if parts are broken or mechanical damaged. Do not use damaged system components or accessories. Replace damaged system components or accessories immediately. Contact and leave all repairs to the customer service at Siemens Healthineers. Temperature range of operation. The air inside the examination room must fulfill the following requirements while running the CT system temperature range 18 to 30 degrees Celsius or 64.4 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Relative humidity 20 to 75%. If the working conditions specified cannot be met, the room must be equipped with air conditioning, or the system must be shut down. Overheating. The possible causes of overheating are ambient temperature too high. Ventilation openings covered. Defective cooling system. Dirty air filter. If certain parts of the equipment overheat, a warning is displayed on the monitor. In this case, finish the current measurement as quickly as possible and shut down the system. To ensure image quality is stable even under variable environmental conditions, it is important you perform a system checkup once you start the system and then run a daily quality assurance approximately one hour later. The system checkup will only take approximately 5 to 6 minutes and is required regardless of whether the CT scanner was used continuously or intermittently. This calibration is important when the gantry has been powered off, for example overnight or between working shifts. The Daily quality test is automated. You can perform the whole test according to the guidance on the screen. Before you start the quality measurement, you must perform the calibration and position the Phantom set. To access the daily quality function on the access bar, click the settings icon and from the menu choose daily QA. Alternatively, on the home screen, click system check and from the Navigation Pane on the left of the system check window, select Daily QA. Instructions on the daily quality test are then displayed. Calibration of accessories. If the system is equipped with a 3D camera for positioning, perform the camera test regularly at the recommended intervals. If monitors are used for diagnosis, perform the monitor test regularly at the recommended intervals. Regular checks. Laser light marker. Switch on the laser light marker and check the projections of the light beams on a white sheet of paper. The Laser beam project across her and the reference level laser beam align Mark. Be careful when looking into laser beam as loss of sight possible. Therefore, do not look directly into the laser beam or at its reflection on smooth mirrorlike surfaces. Regular checks. Intercom system. The intercom system is composed by speaker and microphones located in the front and back of the scanner, as well as in the control box. In the control box you can find buttons to call patient and listen to patient. To test the intercom system, apply the call patient and listen to patient keys on the control box. The intercom system must work in both directions. Best practice during scanning is to leave the intercom system switched on during the examination and keep eye contact with the patient when talking or listening to him or her. Regular checks. Checking the stop key. In an emergency press the stop key. All system movements such as table movement are interrupted and radiation is stopped. To test this functionality, press and hold one of the table movement keys on one of the seat control devices. When the patient table moves, press the stop key on the control box. The table movement must stop immediately. A notification window displays on the screen. Check that you can move the patient table out of the gantry manually after you have pressed the stop key. Click resume in the notification window to restore system readiness. Repeat this process with the Stop key in the gantry. Patient safety during examination. Patients can be injured by moving parts. To avoid this, please observe the following. Make sure that neither the patient's clothing nor hair can get caught in mechanical parts. Make sure that infusion lines and respiration tubes, catheters and EKG cables cannot get caught in the space between the table top and the side parts. These components must not be put under tensile stress in any other way. Make sure that patient betting cannot get caught by moving parts of the patient table. Use positioning AIDS as described. Please use the Velcro straps for correct patient fixation to avoid injury. Further considerations to patient safety during examination are. Make sure that the patient's body parts are above the patient table. Make sure that neither body parts of anybody nor any objects are below the patient table. When lowering the patient table, make sure that the patient's body parts are above the patient table. Make sure that neither body parts of anybody nor any objects are below the patient table. A flash spiral CT examination is used to minimize motion artifacts and is performed with a high pitched spiral. During a flash spiral scan, the high table speed results in an increased stop distance. Check the environment for cables or any material that could collide with the table. In addition, it is recommended to perform a test run of the table movement before scanning to check the horizontal travel distance of the patient table to avoid clamping or collision of the patient or certain material. Always clean or disinfect the equipment after use. Observe the instructions for cleaning and disinfecting. Check if system components or accessories are worn out to ensure proper cleaning. Replace worn out components or accessories immediately. Make sure that the table and the accessories are clean and covered with paper if possible. Pay special attention weather contrast media is present in the scanner window and clean it if necessary. Liquids or food and drinks might lead to injury to the patient or personnel and malfunction of or damage to the equipment. If liquid is detected within the equipment, shut down the system immediately. Contact and leave all repairs to the customer service at Siemens Healthineers. Cleaned the equipment with a damp, not wet cloth. Make sure that no liquids get onto or into the equipment. After cleaning, make sure that no water remains on the floor to avoid slipping.
