1.1 Introduction
The instructions for use describe the performance characteristics and operation required forefficient
and effective use of the PROGNOST B.
Before you work with the PROGNOST B, the complete instructions for use must be read,especially the
Safety Instructions and the chapter Handling.
1.2 Description
The diagnostic X-ray system mechanics PROGNOST B is constituted of a fixed elevating patient
positioning table with floating table top, a floor-guided, ceiling-free tube column stand, a vertical Bucky
wall stand and an electrical cabinet (EC-Box) (without X-ray components).
The floating table top iscan be locked by a brake in longitudinal and transverse direction. The table top
brakes and height adjustment of the table is controlled byusing an integrated foot switching unit.
The table is prepared for the installation of a grid device (Bucky)or Grid Entity, that can be moved in the
longitudinal direction by a motor, an anti-scatter grid and a measuring chamber intended for use with
an automatic exposure control.
The tube column stand is guided by one rail, which isfixed on the ground behind the table. All
movements of the column stand are smooth and locked by electromagnetic brakes. The tube arm is
prepared for the installation ofan X-Ray tube assembly (X-Ray tube, collimatorand control panel with
integrated controls).
The 360° rotatability of the complete X-ray tube column ensures maximum application flexibility. Ideal
for immobile patients who, for example, need to be X-rayed directly in the hospital bed without
repositioning.
The vertical Buckywall stand can be delivered in two versions. Either mounted onthe left or right side
of the table. The wall stand is prepared for the installation of a vertical sliding (manually and motorized
movable) Bucky orGrid Entity. The vertical movement of the Bucky or Grid Entity isfixed by using an
electromagnetic braking system.
There are also integrated functions like Autotrackingand other safety options.
Autotracking functions:
The automatically Autotracking X-ray tube unit adjusts its positionto the height ofthe wall stand
Bucky. The Bucky inside the table automatically adjusts itself to the central beam directionof the X-ray
tube unit. The source image distance (SID) between table and X-ray tube unit alsoadjusts itself
automatically.
When performing an X-ray examination of the patient in standing position in front of the wall stand, the
manual positioning of the tube and further adjustments by the user become redundant.
Ideally suited also for oblique exposures because the Bucky inthe table automatically moves into the
central beam or the X-ray tube unit automaticallymoves to the center of the Bucky ofthe wall stand.

2.1 General Safety Instructions
2.1.1 Requirements for operation
WARNING!
The PROGNOST Bis a protection class I device (according to EN 60601-1).
To avoid the risk of an electric shock, this device may only be connectedto a
supply networkwith a protective earthing conductor.
The power supply for the PROGNOST B of the X-ray system is exclusively made
by direct connection to theX-ray generator or thePower Box and is
permanently connectedthere. The X-ray generatoror the Power Box must
have at least 2 connections for 230V 50/60Hz.
The X-ray generator of theX-ray system is connectedto the supply network
(see technical description of the X-ray generator).
To reducethe risk of electric shock, the system must be connected to a supply
network with protective earthing.
The system does not have an on/offswitch. It is switched on or offdirectly by
switching on the X-ray generator orby the switch on the Power Box. In order
to separate any electrical voltage from the X-ray system, the connected X-ray
generator or the Power Box must be switchedoff.
2.1.2 Device Operation
In case of a malfunction, do notuse the PROGNOST B anymore and notify PROTEC service department
or a service companyauthorized by them.
2.1.2.1 Operating Type
The PROGNOST B is not designated for continuous operation.
