Chapter 1 General System Requirements

1.1 Objectives and Overview

This manual provides all information necessary to prepare the site for the installation of the system, taking into consideration the information required for
different professionals such as architects, construction engineers, electrical contractors, and all other personnel involved in construction and preparation of
the site.
Important
Good site preparation is essential for smooth and efficient installation and for proper functioning of the system. Poor site planning may
compromise system efficiency, operator efficiency, operator comfort, and/or patient comfort.
The information provided in this Pre-Installation Manual is general in its nature, and must always be used in conjunction with the drawings
and specifications prepared specifically for your site.
If the site is considering a future system upgrade, use the pre-installation manual of the intended system type, during site planning.
Special attention should be paid to room size, floor requirements, electrical power requirements, cable paths (ducts), and environmental
requirements (air conditioning for heat dissipation).
When upgrading a system, the site’s power, structure and floor loading requirements must be evaluated for upgrade suitability according to
this manual.

1.2 Customer Responsibilities

It is the customer’s responsibility to prepare the site in accordance with all the specifications provided in this manual, and in conjunction with the
site-specific drawings. It is essential to verify all aspects of the site configuration before construction is started, as subsequent changes can be costly or
impractical.
A detailed checklist is provided in Appendix A Customer Checklist on page 92. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that all requirements in the
checklist are fulfilled and the site conforms with all the specifications and requirements in this manual.
The customer is responsible for all aspects of site preparation, including, but not limited to, the following tasks:
• Assigning a project coordinator (see 1.2.2 Project Coordination on page 28)

5491539-1EN Revision 9 NM 830 & Discovery NM 630 26/118

Pre-Installation Manual 1.2 Customer Responsibilities

• Planning and construction or renovations required for installation of the system, in accordance with the specifications included in this manual,
including:
• 2.2 Room Size, Layout and Considerations on page 45
• Chapter 2 Equipment Description and General Construction Requirements on page 40
• 3.1 Radiation Protection and Shielding Requirements on page 75
• Chapter 4 Environmental HVAC Requirements on page 80
• 5.1 Power Feed on page 82
• Chapter 6 Network and GE Remote Access Requirements on page 90
• Complying with all national, state, or local regulatory requirements for the country in which the installation occurs, for example:
• Fire control devices as required by local codes
• Permits, inspections, radiation licensing etc.
• Earthquake-related regulations
• Local regulations for service clearance and egress
• Assuring regulatory compliance for the use of radioactive isotopes and preparation of the required isotopes (see 1.2.1 Using Radioactive
Isotopes on page 27 )
• Safe storage of the system and auxiliary equipment prior to and during installation
• Floor tile removal and replacement in area of table and gantry
• Ensuring adequate accessibility for all system components and auxiliary equipment to the site

1.2.1 Using Radioactive Isotopes

Since the system involves the use of radioactive isotopes, compliance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations, or similar regulatory requirements
(depending on the country), must be adhered to and all permissions obtained well in advance. It is recommended that regulatory compliance is arranged
early in the site planning process.
It is essential that all preparations are completed so that required source materials can be obtained prior to installation, including calibration sources. Take
into consideration that these sources may have fairly long delivery lead times, yet may also have a short half life, so that it may not be advisable to store
them for long periods of time.
The site must provide a list of isotopes in order to coordinate the calibrations plan prior to installation.

5491539-1EN Revision 9 NM 830 & Discovery NM 630 27/118

Pre-Installation Manual 1.3 Delivery Requirements

1.2.2 Project Coordination

The site project coordinator is the primary contact and liaison between GE and all site-related functions, including the purchaser, the construction planners,
architects and contractors, and other site administrative personnel.
To ensure a successful installation, it recommended that the site nominates a single site project coordinator, preferably a person familiar with similar
medical construction projects, manages the entire project. Ideally, the project coordinator is involved in every phase from pre-installation and installation,
from conceptual planning through to system start up, working closely with GE to ensure that the client upholds all requirements in this Pre-Installation
Manual.
At the end of site preparation, the site project coordinator must verify that:
• The latest Global Site Readiness Checklist is being used (available via “GLOBAL HPM LINKS”)
• The checklist has been completed and submitted prior to equipment delivery

1.3 Delivery Requirements

The system is packed for shipment with the minimum number of component packages.

CAUTION

DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT
The system components are sensitive to excessive mishandling, including dropping, shock, vibration, tipping or hoisting. Vibration damage to
components may not be evident until after system installation is complete.
The system components must never be dropped. A drop from a height greater than 1 cm (½") may induce structural damage to the frame
or other major components.
To avoid damage to sensitive components, dock-to-dock shipment is recommended. Other methods are acceptable, provided the system
is not dropped or otherwise mishandled.

1.3.1 Temperature and Detector Precautions During Transportation and Delivery

5491539-1EN Revision 9 NM 830 & Discovery NM 630 28/118

Pre-Installation Manual 1.3 Delivery Requirements

1.3.1.1 Temperature Precautions

Extreme temperatures must be avoided during system transportation and delivery. Ensure that the system is not exposed, for an extended period of time,
to temperatures or humidity outside the following specifications.

Temperature range: -34°C to +60ºC (-29°F/+140ºF)

Humidity range (non-condensing): 5% to 95%

NOTE
Component freezing occurs if the system is exposed to temperatures below -18ºC (0ºF) for a period of longer than two days. Allow a minimum of
12 hours for the system to adjust to ambient room temperature, prior to installation.

1.3.1.2 Detector Head Precautions

CAUTION

DAMAGE TO DETECTORS
Detector heads are very fragile. Always handle with extra care.
Detector heads are extremely sensitive to temperature gradients (sudden changes in temperature).
Failing to comply with the following instructions could cause irreversible damage to the detector heads.
Important
The conveyance path from the unloading area to the temperature-controlled area must be wide enough to allow passage of the detector heads
packed in the original containers.
The detector heads must be transported in their original packages, which are designed to provide good mechanical stabilization as well as a certain amount
of thermal insulation.
• As soon as the detector heads are unloaded from the transportation vehicles, they must be moved to a temperature-controlled area while still in their
original containers, until they are ready to be installed into the system.
• If the temperature in the storage or installation areas differs from that of the delivery route and/or ambient temperature, a stabilization period of 1
hour per 3°C (5.4°F) difference must be allowed.

5491539-1EN Revision 9 NM 830 & Discovery NM 630 29/118

Pre-Installation Manual 1.3 Delivery Requirements

1.3.2 Delivery Unloading Area and Equipment

• The minimal unload area adjacent to the delivery truck is 15m×15m (50'×50'). Make sure that the unloading and storage areas are large enough to
maneuver a forklift with crates.
• It is recommended to select the delivery site so as to provide the shortest and smoothest route for component conveyance:
• If delivered on the installation day, as close as possible to the scan room for installation
• If delivered prior to the installation day, as close as possible to the storage area
• If a forklift is required in order to unload or move system components:
• Allocate a forklift capable of lifting more than the maximum weight of the heaviest unit, see Components and Clearance: Table 1-1 Components
and Clearance — Metric on page 32 (metric) or Table 1-2 Components and Clearance — Imperial on page 33 (imperial)
• Take into account sufficient floor space to maneuver the forklift near the delivery truck.

1.3.3 Conveyance of Crated System Components Within the Site

Regardless of whether the system is being delivered from the unloading area to storage, from the unloading area to unpacking area for installation or from
storage to the installation area, take care to adhere to the following guidelines:
• Ensure that there is a free path, including an elevator if necessary, to wheel the components to the installation area.
• Verify that the route selected has sufficient clearance and load carrying capacity.
• Components and Clearance: Table 1-1 Components and Clearance — Metric on page 32 (metric) or Table 1-2 Components and Clearance —
Imperial on page 33 (imperial)
• The subsystems may be lifted only with a forklift and only when attached to their original shipping pallets.

CAUTION

DAMAGE TO SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Lifting of the gantry without its original shipping pallet or using a crane may damage the system and is prohibited.
• If the outer crating is removed after delivery, do not detach the subsystems from their original shipping pallets before they are conveyed to the scan
room for installation.
• The center of gravity of each item, including lifting height and position, is marked on the subsystem crate. When conveying the subsystems within the
site, and particularly if there are slopes in the delivery path, make sure to take the center of gravity into account.

5491539-1EN Revision 9 NM 830 & Discovery NM 630 30/118

Pre-Installation Manual 1.3 Delivery Requirements

• Always lower system components at the slowest reasonable rate.

• If the system components are to be transferred from an unloading site outside the building, special facilities must be provided to ensure smooth
conveyance.
• Uneven temporary ramps may cause vibrations that could damage some components.
• System components may be moved via flat-bed tow truck or by rolling them across smooth sidewalks or other paved surfaces.
• When moving the gantry off a flat-bed tow truck, attach the straps to the lowest point possible on the dolly.

1.3.3.1 Rigging Limitations

Do not lift the gantry assemblies by their dollies. Do not transport the gantry assemblies across any surface by any means other than the dollies provided
by GE. The assemblies have no lifting points and are not designed to be lifted by any special rigging attached to the gantry assemblies themselves.

DANGER

POSSIBLE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH

The dollies are not designed to be used as an attachment point for any method of lifting the subsystems.
Attaching lifting straps, cables or mechanisms to the dolly handles or any other part of the dolly is strictly prohibited.
NOTE
If it is determined that the subsystems must be lifted by crane or other lifting method the PM or person responsible for local siting of the system
shall NOT proceed with the installation without consulting directly with GE Engineering.
Lifting the subsystems by crane or other lifting method should always be avoided. All alternate methods of delivery should be evaluated including the
removal of any obstructions, doorways, walls, and windows.
If lifting is still required:
• The entire gantry assembly and both gantry transport side dollies must be placed on a lifting platform. GE does not provide a lifting platform.
• The entire patient table must be lifted while sitting on a lifting platform. The patient table shall be lowered to its transport position so the table base is
in contact with the platform.

5491539-1EN Revision 9 NM 830 & Discovery NM 630 31/118

Pre-Installation Manual 1.3 Delivery Requirements

• The platform must be designed so no lifting straps or cables come in contact with any part of the gantry or table subsystems or its side dollies.
• The lifting platform shall bear the entire load. No part of the subsystem shall bear any load during the lift.

1.3.4 Crated and Uncrated Weights, Measurements and Clearance - Tables

The following tables provide you with crate and component measurements, weights and other data, in order to assist you in planning conveyance routes
and storage areas. The order of the components in the list constitutes the recommended order of conveyance and delivery to the scan room for installation.

2.2.4 Layout Considerations

This section describes the considerations you must take into account when selecting a site and planning the room size and layout. In addition, it is the
responsibility of the customer to ensure that all aspects of the scan and operator rooms conform with the local requirements.

5491539-1EN Revision 9 NM 830 & Discovery NM 630 50/118

Pre-Installation Manual 2.2 Room Size, Layout and Considerations

Room Dimensions and System Placement

The room size and shape and the placement of the system components must enable optimal functional and working conditions, including the best possible
relative positioning of the gantry, patient table and acquisition console in operator room, including:
• Operator access in scan room, around the gantry and patient table in order to:
• Assist patient positioning
• Perform examination routines
• Act efficiently and quickly in case of an emergency, including easy access to emergency switch
• Upgrade considerations:
• If a system upgrade is planned or possible, the requirements for the larger system should be assessed to avoid unnecessary future rework:
• Room dimensions
• Power requirements
• HVAC requirements
• Floor loading requirements
• Seismic considerations:
The room dimension requirements are different for seismic systems. For example, the table must have the clearance necessary to swing both ways in
order to access all anchoring.
• Safety zone considerations
The safety zone is designated by tape on the floor, usually yellow (can also be differentiated by a change in floor coloring). This designates the area that
must be free of obstructions to avoid a collision during automatic motion.

• Operation-related considerations:
• Enable access for hospital beds, including maneuvering and positioning the bed and moving the front of the patient table during collimator
exchange.
• Storage of collimator cart/s when not in use
• ECG Trigger Monitor– cable position and lengths and storage when not in use
• Space for storage and usage of ECG Trigger Monitor

5491539-1EN Revision 9 NM 830 & Discovery NM 630 52/118

Pre-Installation Manual 2.2 Room Size, Layout and Considerations

• Installation and service considerations:

• Location of power connections
• Access to communication lines (Ethernet, external hardcopy device)
• Floor loading capacity and weight of system components, including storage and path of collimator carts
• Service clearance areas (see Appendix D Regulatory Clearances on page 112)
• Storage cabinet for storage of service tools (optional). Depending on the room layout, it is recommended that sufficient area is allocated for a
cabinet.
• Placement of acquisition station and/or gantry display monitor to allow easy viewing of both the patient and screen. Try to position so that both
the patient and the monitor are in one line of sight.
• Patient path from entry door to table should be without any floor hazards such as a table floor puck, conduit or cables.
• Operator room (if applicable)
• Operator field of view, enabling direct view of patient in bore, or taking into consideration viewing via remote closed-circuit camera in the scan
room and screen in the operator room
• Space, power and network connections for additional equipment such as PACS workstation, archiving devices, etc.
• Proximity of scan room to other utilities
• Avoid detrimental influences from surrounding rooms and activities, such as:
• Radioactive or magnetic sources
• A local wireless environment
• Vibrations
• Transformers from elevators, compressors, or other high power devices.
• Plan the optimal proximity of the scan room to related utilities. In addition to patient comfort, take into consideration that background radiation
activity from such utilities could negatively affect image quality and system calibration. These utilities include:
• Waiting/injection areas, toilets
• Viewing and processing rooms
• Radionuclide storage and preparation area
• Office facilities
• Smoke detectors that use/have radioactive activity

2.3 Room Structural Requirements

Room requirements consist of the following:
• 2.3.1 Floor Requirements on page 54, including floor strength, anchoring, levelness and flatness, vibration and conductivity
• 2.3.1.2 Floor Loading Requirements on page 55
• 2.3.2 Ceiling Requirements on page 70
• 2.3.3 Wall Requirements on page 70
• 2.3.4 Acoustic Specifications on page 71
• 2.3.5 Vibration Specifications on page 71

2.3.1 Floor Requirements

Important
It is the customer's responsibility to have appropriate tests performed and to obtain a construction engineer’s assessment of the floor’s
suitability to meet the requirements of this section.

2.3.1.1 Floor Strength

In order to enable system mounting using the supplied floor anchors, concrete floors must have a minimum cube strength of f'c = 4350 psi (30 MPa) at 28
days (curing time) for 25/30 concrete and must be at least 140 mm (5.5") thick.
order to enable system mounting using the supplied floor anchors, concrete floors must have a minimum cube strength of f'c = 4350 psi (30 MPa) at 28 days
(curing time) for 25/30 concrete.
NOTE
• Concrete strength is determined by the “Cylinder Test” (used in the USA) or “Cube Test” (used in Europe), where a cylinder or cube of
concrete is cast, cured for the appropriate time and then compressed between two parallel faces until failure. The stress at the failure is
taken to be the compressive strength of the concrete. The 25/30 concrete required for the system installation is concrete with a strength of
25 in the cylinder test (resulting 3625 psi), or strength of 30 in the cube test (resulting 4350 psi).
• If the system is expected to be upgraded in the future, the floor strength requirements for the larger model should be used.
It is the customer’s responsibility to have appropriate tests performed to determine and measure concrete strength, and to obtain a construction
engineer’s assessment of the floor load capability.

ENSURE CORRECT FLOOR AND ANCHORING

For concrete floors thinner than 140 mm or different floor types other anchoring methods might be required. These must comply with
the minimum load requirements (see 2.3.1.2 Floor Loading Requirements on page 55) and must be installed and tested at the customer’s
expense, by the customer’s structural contractor. The selected anchoring method must have a pulling tensile force of 19.7 kN on each of the
anchors bolting the NM gantry to the floor.
In such a case, the alternative anchors shall be installed during system installation, and this must be coordinated with the installation team.

2.3.1.4 Floor Levelness and Flatness

The scan room floor must be leveled, and its surface must be smooth.
It is recommended that the floor in the entire scan room is leveled and flattened. If this is not possible, it is a minimum requirement for the gantry/table
installation area to be level and flat.
The floor levelness requirement is essential for proper alignment of the table and the gantry, which affects accurate patient positioning, collimator
exchange and other aspects of system functionality. Table levelling may not be achievable if overall floor levelness does not conform to these specifications.
For more details, see Appendix B Measuring Floor Flatness on page 99.

Pre-Installation Manual 2.3 Room Structural Requirements

CAUTION

FLOOR LEVELING REQUIRED

• The use of floor shims is not suitable to achieve floor levelness.

• Do not use fill material to compensate for holes or depressions in the floor surface.
•
Thin fill areas under load will crack and deteriorate over time causing issues with system leveling that may lead to image quality
problems. If necessary, level and flatten the entire floor area.

4. If P1 - P0 > 5 mm, then the table cable conduit cannot be routed through the pivot plate duct and it must be routed through an external duct.
NOTE
If the exact location of points P0 and P1 is not clear:
Repeat the measurement at several points around the estimated P0 and P1 locations.
• P1: Use the maximum value measured
• P0: Use the minimum value measured

2.3.1.6 Floor Vibration

Floor vibration requirements are included in the general vibration requirements (see 2.3.5 Vibration Specifications on page 71).

2.3.1.7 Floor Conductivity Recommendations

The purpose of this section is to measure the electrical conductivity of the floor surface to the 'GND' (Ground).
• The surface of the conductive floor shall provide a patch of electrical conductivity between all persons and equipment making contact with the floor.
• Using a DVM, measure the impedance between the upper surface of the floor – where the NM gantry is planned to be positioned, and the system
power supply GND terminal in the room. The readout should be <35 M Ohm.
• Repeat the measurement in the area where the patient table will be positioned. The readout should be < 35 M Ohm.

2.3.1.8 Additional Floor Requirements

The floor finish must take into consideration magnetic field and EMI considerations
(see 3.5 EMI Considerations on page 76).

2.3.2 Ceiling Requirements

Scan room height must be at least 2.25 meters (7' 4.5").

2.3.3 Wall Requirements

Operator room window
If there is an operator room, the operator must be able to view the patient from the operator room during a scan. The location of the window depends on
the position of operator room relative to the scan room. It is recommended that the window is positioned in front of the console so that the operator can
look down the length of the bore.

5491539-1EN Revision 9 NM 830 & Discovery NM 630 70/118

Pre-Installation Manual 2.3 Room Structural Requirements

The recommended patient viewing window dimensions are approximately 120 cm wide by 110 cm high (48"×42").
Consult a qualified radiological health physicist for radiation protection requirements for the window glass (lead content and thickness), in accordance with
3.1 Radiation Protection and Shielding Requirements on page 75 and with local requirements.
Radiation protection
For details on wall, door and window radiation protection, see 3.1 Radiation Protection and Shielding Requirements on page 75.
Other
Verify that all walls conform with local regulations, such as washability.

2.3.4 Acoustic Specifications

The system creates acoustic noise. In compliance with IEC 601-1-1 standard the measured noise (at 1m distance away from the system) is less than 70 db.
It is recommended that the wall and ceiling surface is of a sound dampening material to avoid noise reverberation and amplification.

2.3.5 Vibration Specifications

The system components are sensitive to vibration in the frequency range of 0.5 to 20 Hz, depending on the amplitude of the vibration. It is the customer’s
responsibility to contract a vibration consultant or qualified engineer to verify that these specifications are met and implement an appropriate solution.
To minimize vibrations, the system must be installed on a solid floor, as far as possible from the following vibration sources:
Outside building Inside building Other
• Parking lots • Hallways • Hospital power plants containing pumps, motors, air
• Roadways • Elevators handling equipment and air conditioning units

Chapter 3 Special Construction Requirements

3.1 Radiation Protection and Shielding Requirements

Radiation shielding regulations differ from one country or state to another. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that radiation protection and
shielding comply with such regulations and requirements during site preparation and system installation and operation.

3.2 Background Radiation

When the system is calibrated, background radiation from surrounding areas may adversely affect calibration. Therefore all radiation sources must be
suitably shielded, including:
• Waiting/Injection areas
• Radionuclide storage and preparation area (sometimes known as “hot lab”)
As a general guideline, if the anticipated background radiation in the Scan Room will be higher than 0.1mR/h (1microGy/h), then appropriate additional
shielding should be installed.
If radioactive gases are used in the scan room or in nearby rooms, for example gases used during ventilation lung scans; there must be mitigations to keep
the gases away from the detectors. Some gases can settle on the floor while other gases can be drawn into the detector via the cooling fans. A detector's
recovery from a gas contamination will depend on the half life of the radioactive gas. Negative room pressure and other air flow mitigations should be
considered if radioactive gases are expected to be present in the department.

3.3 Scan Room Shielding

The system involves the use and storage of radio nuclides. Appropriate barriers such as walls, lead-shielded glass, lead shields, etc. must be installed to
protect staff from unnecessary exposure to radiation.
Patients become significant sources of radioactivity; therefore consideration should be given to maximize the distance between the patient and operator
during the uptake and acquisition phases of scan procedures.
Scatter-room shielding requirements must be reviewed by a qualified radiological health physicist taking into consideration:
• Scatter radiation levels within the scanning room

5491539-1EN Revision 9 NM 830 & Discovery NM 630 75/118

Pre-Installation Manual 3.4 Magnetic Field Considerations

• Equipment placement
• Weekly projected workloads (#patient/day technique (kvp*ma)
• Materials used for construction of walls, floors, ceilings, doors and windows
• Access to surrounding scan room areas
• Equipment in surrounding scan room area (for example: film developer, film storage)

CAUTION

RADIATION HAZARD
Specific room shielding requirements should be determined by local regulatory considerations, facility policy and if available, the facility
physicist.

3.4 Magnetic Field Considerations

Low Frequency Magnetic Field
N/A
Static Magnetic Field Limits
In order to avoid interference on the system, the static field limits from the surrounding environment must be less than 1 Gauss in both the scan and the
operator rooms.

3.5 EMI Considerations

3.5.1 Electrostatic Discharge Environment & Recommendations
In order to reduce electrostatic discharge interference, install a charge dissipative floor material to avoid electrostatic charge buildup.
The relative humidity shall be at least 30 percent.
The dissipative material shall be connected to the system ground reference, if applicable.

5491539-1EN Revision 9 NM 830 & Discovery NM 630 76/118

Pre-Installation Manual 3.5 EMI Considerations

3.5.2 Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) System Placement

NOTE
If power sub-stations exist under or above the scan room, or near the operator room, consider EMI testing to determine if your proposed room
meets the published acceptable EMI room limits. This also includes high voltage lines under the scan or operator room floor.
EMI Reduction
If fields of excessive EMI are known or suspected to be present, consult GE Sales & Service for recommendations. Consider the following if you attempt to
reduce EMI:
• External field strength decreases rapidly with distance from source of magnetic field.
• External magnetic field leakage of a three-phase transformer is much less than that of a bank of three single phase transformers of equivalent power
rating.
• Large electric motors are a source of substantial EMI.
• High-powered radio signals are a source of EMI.
• Ensure sufficiently good screening of cables and cabinets.
• Consider and measure EMI fields of sites with main facility power running under the floor or within the walls or ceilings of the scan room.
• Pay special attention to power substations or high-voltage power lines in proximity to the scan facility.
• If any concerns remain regarding excessive EMI fields, be sure to measure to confirm that your site meets all required specifications.

3.5.3 Electromagnetic Immunity

The system is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified in Appendix C EMC Compliance on page 105. The customer must assure that
the system is installed and used in such an environment.
The system should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent/stacked use is necessary, the system should be observed to verify
normal operation.

3.5.4 Recommended Separation Distances

The system is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the
system as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
NOTE
These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects,
and people.
For transmissions between 150 kHz and 2.5 GHz, adhering to the recommended distance separation will reduce disturbances recorded at the image level,
but may not eliminate all disturbances. However, when installed and operated as specified herein, the system will maintain its essential performance by
continuing to acquire, display, and store diagnostic quality images safely. For example, in order to avoid image interference risks, a 1 W mobile phone
(800 MHz to 2.5 GHz carrier frequency) must be placed 2.3 meters away from the system.
See also Table C-4 Separation Distances for Portable and Mobile RF Communications Equipment on page 110.

3.5.5 Cable Shielding and Grounding

All interconnect cables to peripheral devices must be shielded and properly grounded, except when technologically prohibited. Use of cables not properly
shielded and grounded may result in the equipment causing radio frequency interference. GE Healthcare is not responsible for any interference caused by
using other than recommended interconnect cables or panels, or by unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the separation distance can be estimated using the equation in the corresponding
column, where power (P) is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE
• At 80 MHz to 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
• These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures,
objects, and people. As an example, keep a 1 W mobile phone (800 MHz to 2.7 GHz carrier frequency) at least 2.3 m from the NM/CT system
(to avoid image interference risks).
Limitations Management: Adhering to the distance separation recommended in (150 KHz to 2.7 GHz) reduces disturbances recorded at the image level,
but may not eliminate all disturbances. However, when installed and operated as specified, the system maintains its essential performance by continuing to
acquire, display, and store diagnostic quality images safely.

5491539-1EN Revision 9 NM 830 & Discovery NM 630 112/118

Pre-Installation Manual D.1 Regulatory Code Description

D.1 Regulatory Code Description

Egress: 29 CFR 1910 Subpart E (OSHA) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) define the minimum requirements for means of egress. The requirement most
applicable to equipment installation and room layout is minimum width of exit access. Under OSHA 1910.37(f)(6), the minimum width of exit access shall in
no case be less than 28 in. from any potentially occupied point in the room.
Under NFPA 101 (2006 edition) 7.3.4.1, the minimum width of any means of egress is 36 in. However, NFPA allows this to be reduced to 28 in. around
furniture or equipment, provided that a 36 in. clearance would otherwise be available without moving permanent walls.
Electrical Clearance: 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S (OSHA) and NFPA 70E (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace) define minimum clearance
requirements for the workspace around electrical equipment. Under both OSHA 1910.303(g)(1) and NFPA 70E (2004 edition) 400.15, a minimum clear
space of 36" depth (with minimum 30" width and 78" height) must be provided in front of electrical equipment with parts operating at 600 volts or below
and likely to require examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance while energized.
This safety clearance requirement applies to all GEHC equipment. Although 36 in. is the minimum clearance for most installations, the standards require an
increased minimum clearance distance where parts operate above 150 volts (but still below 600 volts) under the following circumstances:
• If the wall or surface directly facing the electrical equipment is grounded (for example: brick, concrete, or tile) or includes grounded protrusions (such as
medical gas ports, metal door or window frames, water sources and metallic sink structures, metallic cabinetry, electrical disconnects or emergency off
panels, air conditioners or vents), then a 42" clearance depth is required.
• If the possibility exists of exposed and unguarded live parts on both sides of the workspace (for example if a power distribution unit were positioned on
the wall directly facing the GEHC equipment), then a 48" clearance depth is required.

D.2 Regulated Minimum Working Clearance by Major Subsystem

Requirements apply to equipment operating at 600V or less, where examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance is likely to be performed while live
parts are exposed.
Direction of Service Access is defined as perpendicular to the surface of the equipment being serviced. Required regulatory clearance distances must be
maintained and may not be used for storage. This includes normal system operation as well as service inspection or maintenance.
For the gantry and table, distances are measured from the enclosure, not the finish covers.

greater.
Head Clearance: The height dimension of the workspace. The height of the workspace measured from the floor at the front edge of the equipment to the
ceiling or overhead obstruction(s). 1981.2 mm (78"), or the height of the equipment, whichever is greater.
Grounded Wall: Any wall that can be electrically conductive to earth ground. Masonry, concrete, and tile are considered conductive. Additional commonly
found aspects of a wall should also be considered grounded.
The following is not an all-inclusive list:

• Medical gas ports and plates The following are not considered as grounded elements of a common wall:
• Metal doors and window frames • Standard wall outlet
• Water sources and metallic sink structures • Light switches
• Metallic wall-mounted cabinetry • Telephones
• MDP (A1) • Communication wall jacks
• Equipment Emergency OFF panels • Ceiling tile grids
• Industrial equipment (such as air conditioners and vents)

Pre-Installation Manual D.4 Additional Regulatory Clearance Information

D.4 Additional Regulatory Clearance Information

D.4.1 Regulatory Caution
Site prints are required for all system installations including relocation and moves. The room layout, as shown on your site print, shall meet all regulatory
requirements as described in the installation manual. Additional room components, such as cabinets, reduce room size. Equipment not shown on the site
print may void the caution statement, making the room non-compliant. Actual site measurements before installation will be taken to determine room size
and compliance.

D.4.2 Egress Clearance

Egress requires a clear, unobstructed route out of the room, either around the back of the gantry or around the back of the table. If your egress route is not
around the back of the table, maintain 457 mm (18”) of clearance between the back of the table, with a continuous width of 3200 mm (126”), 1600 mm (63”)
on each side of the table center line, on each side to any obstruction so that the front cover can be removed.
Exceptions: Rooms smaller than 512 cm×374 cm (17 ft.×12 ft.), require construction to meet the minimum requirements. The design center or your GE PMI
may have additional recommendations for your room size.

D.5 Service Clearances

Servicing of the system can be safely performed within the regulatory envelopes defined in Appendix D Regulatory Clearances on page 112; however
sufficient space must be maintained to remove the covers from the system.
To achieve clearance for the gantry, clear space must be available to maneuver the gantry covers. One Service Engineer can accomplish this.
