Cooling Requirements

The cooling requirement for the Vivid q N environment is 350 BTU/hr.
The cooling requirement for the SafeLock Cart environment is ~70 BTU/hr.
These figures does not include the cooling required for lights, people, or other equipment in the room.
NOTE: Each person in the room places an additional 300 BTU/hr demand on the environmental
cooling.
2-2-3

Lighting Requirements

For system installation, updates and repairs, bright lighting is required. However, operator and patient
comfort may be optimized if the room lighting is subdued and indirect when a scan is being performed.
Therefore, a combination lighting system (dim/bright) is recommended. Keep in mind that lighting
controls and dimmers can be a source of EMI which could degrade image quality. These controls should
be selected to minimize possible interference.

Time and Manpower Requirements

make any required changes. If possible, begin these checks as many as six weeks before system
delivery.

available to roll the system down the wheeling ramp. Attempts to move the system considerable
distances (or on an incline) by one person alone, could result in personal injury, and/or damage
