8.3 Installation

This section describes the steps to install the CardioMD nuclear gamma camera system. It is
important that you understand the wide scope of this installation procedure before attempting to
install a CardioMD system.
Note. Seismic (OSHPD) installation requires the optional seismic installation kit.
The CardioMD system is shipped with gantry and detectors assembled in one plywood box. A
second plywood box contains the table console and a third plywood box contains the acquisition
PC, dolly system, covers, cables and accessories.
The patient table options are shipped in two boxes, one containing the table pallet and mattress
and one containing the table end support.
The acquisition PC option is shipped in a separate box, as well.
The processing station and other accessories provided by Philips Medical Systems are shipped
separately.
The installation process comprises three main tasks. These tasks are spread out over a two-day
period to allow time for the detectors to warm up and stabilize before system calibration and
performance checking:
1. Gantry unload

2. Installation

3. System check-out.

Installation Overview

Note. Before starting an installation, make sure to study the document CardioMD camera site
planning, ADAC no. 9347-0112.
Installation involves the following main steps:
1. Open the boxes and remove packing materials. Leave the detector insulation in place.
2. Remove the wooden end bars on the pallet and the shipping brackets (2 small and 1 large
one).
3. Remove the gantry-shipping pallet using the jack beams. Remove front and rear mounting
plates and replace them with the dolly wheels. Lower the gantry onto the wheels and remove
the jack beams if needed for passing narrow doors.
4. Determine actual position of system using the template shipped with the equipment, and tape
template to floor.
5. Drill holes using the template. Insert the expansion anchors and set the anchors using a
mandrel.
6. Use the dolly wheels to transport the gantry to the installation room. Position the gantry.
Mount the jack beams (if they were removed), jack up and dismount the dolly wheels.
7. Position the 2 mounting plates and mount 4 of the 6 M12 × 30 anchor screws and washers
shipped with the system. Make sure that the side with countersunk around the M10 hole is
pointing upwards. Do not tighten the bolts.
