Replacement of the FFDM detector

2Replacing basic unit components

General

If a detector has to be replaced, the spare part material number 08881307 (with the REP
status) must be ordered. The Headquarters Support Center may need to release the
delivery. From a mechanical standpoint, it is not difficult to disassemble the old detector
and assemble the new detector.
NOTE
At the time of this writing, there are MAMMOMAT Novation
the DROC Workstation and the Women's Health Acquisition Workstation WH AWS
(syngo). Therefore, these instructions describe replacing the detector on both systems.
Disassembling the old detector and mounting the new detector on the MAMMOMAT
Novation
replacement tasks for these two systems are also similar. The tasks may need to be per-
formed somewhat differently due to differences in the operating systems and application
software.
These instructions first describe mechanical disassembly and subsequent mounting.
Then the subsequently required tasks, consisting mainly of checks of several adjustments
and calibrations and the AEC tests, are described. The replacement procedure is consid-
ered successful when the results of selected tests from the Quality Control Manual QC-M
fall within the required tolerances. Task descriptions address the differences between the
two workstations.

Handling of included parts

The new detector arrives in a special cardboard box designed to provide thermal insula-
tion during transport. Open the cardboard box carefully. The same cardboard box has to
be used to return the removed detector. Follow the instructions in Unpacking the detec-
tor as described either:
•
in Chapter 7, Installation Instructions and Start-Up (DROC), SPB7-250.812.01, or
•
in Chapter 4, System Startup with WH AWS, SPB7-250.815.01.

The package should contain:

•
The FFDM detector,
•
A detector-specific CD-ROM (with the detector-specific files),
Siemens AG
Medical Solutions
However, removing and subsequently mounting the detector in-
volves the handling of expensive parts of considerable weight and
size. The detector has to be moved and held at the same time. Four
Allen screws have to be turned. While only one CSE can perform
the other tasks, these work steps require two people. It is best,
however, if two CSEs perform the entire procedure together.
The entire procedure takes approximately 14 working hours.
