RADiant Operator Manual Preface This is the Operator Manual for the Xstrahl RADiant System. This manual provides the information a medical operator requires to operate the Xstrahl RADiant. Precautionary Information This section provides an overview of important safety information and cautionary warnings which should be read and thoroughly understood prior to operating the Xstrahl RADiant.
______________________________________________________ Xstrahl RADiant System Description The RADiant Therapy system is a superficial X-Ray therapy system producing X-Rays up to 80kV. The energy of the beam is defined as the half value layer, which is dependent on the kV selected and the filter materials placed within the X-Ray beam.
The Xstrahl RADiant Therapy system comes with interlocked filter. Figure 2-3: RADiant Therapy System filter Each Xstrahl RADiant Therapy system can have up to 9 standard filters — clinical filters and one warm-up filter. The system uses encoding to detect treatment filters fitted within the machine head.
RADiant Operator Manual Section 2: Xstrahl RADiant System Description The Xstrahl RADiant Therapy filter is made of aluminium and be up to a maximum physical thickness of 3mm. The materials and thickness, in combination with the kV for the clinical filter, give a resultant HVL as measured by the physicist;...

RADiant Operator Manual Section 2: Xstrahl RADiant System Description Warning Lights and Door Interlock The RADiant Therapy System has warning lights on access to the treatment room. Controlled Area X-rays illuminated (Yellow) when the system is powered. Do Not Enter illuminated (Red) and flashing when X-rays are on.
0.05% w/v. If you have any queries regarding the suitability of various cleaning products, please contact Xstrahl Limited before using on the applicators. Service Life and Disposal The X-ray tube contains a beryllium window. At the end of the useful life of the X-Ray tube (with Be-window) must be disposed in accordance with your local regulations.
80% ambient relative humidity (non-condensing). Power On If the Xstrahl System has been installed with a connection to a mains isolator, the isolator needs to be placed in the On position. The location of the mains isolator will vary between sites and is customer dependent (established during installation process).
2. Double click the icon (either Fisica or Concerto). Both Xstrahl software applications provide the ability to conduct a system warm-up. If there is a problem with the communication between the PC and TP2 hardware, an error dialog will be displayed.

The key should be removed if the machine is left unattended. After the last exposure of the day has been conducted, the Xstrahl System should be powered down, however the main isolator does not have to be switched off.
® Concerto Overview Concerto is the clinical interface for the Xstrahl system. Concerto enables the operator to create patients, define treatment parameters and deliver exposures, record values to a database and print hard copy patient reports. The Concerto interface can be used without the X-Ray system being powered on, which can be useful for data housekeeping.
RADiant Operator Manual Section 5: System Errors System Errors Xstrahl system errors are displayed on the bottom right side of the exposure screens in Concerto and Fisica. Types of Errors Normal Errors Will persist whilst the problem exists; for example, a filter encoding error will remain until the correct filter is fitted.
