Intended Use Statements
Preface
1.0 Intended Use Statements
United States Federal Law restricts this device to use by, or on the order of, a physician.
1.1 Intended Use
The Selenia® Dimensions® Full Field Digital Mammography system generates digital
mammographic images that can be used for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. The
Selenia Dimensions Full Field Digital Mammography system is intended for use in the same
clinical applications as traditional screen-film mammographic systems. Mammographic
images can be interpreted on either hard copy film or soft copy review workstations.
1.2 Intended Use (Tomosynthesis Option)
The Selenia® Dimensions® Full Field Digital Mammography system acquires the digital
mammography images which can be used for screening and diagnosis of breast cancer. The
Selenia Dimensions system is intended for the clinical methods used with conventional Full
Field Digital Mammography systems. The Selenia Dimensions system can acquire
conventional full field digital mammograms in two dimensions and tomosynthesis
mammograms in three dimensions. The screening examination has a conventional image
set, or a conventional image set and a tomosynthesis image set.
Note… In Canada, Tomosynthesis is not approved for screening, and must be
used in conjunction with conventional mammography (2D image set).
2.0 System Capabilities
The system provides the user interfaces for the performance of screening and diagnostic
mammograms:
• Conventional mammography with a digital image receptor equivalent in size to large
mammography film.
• Tomosynthesis scan with a digital image receptor equivalent in size to large
mammography film (Tomosynthesis option).
• Conventional digital mammogram and tomosynthesis scan during one compression
(Tomosynthesis option).
3.0 Users
• A Technologist to acquire and review images
• A Technologist to perform the Quality Assurance
• A system administrator to enable permissions
• A Medical Physicist to perform the Quality Control tests
• A Radiologist can use the system with a Technologist
• The service personnel to install the system, set the site system configurations and
calibrations, and find faults

Technologist or Physician.
Refer to this manual for directions on how to use Selenia Dimensions.
6.0 Quality Control Requirements
The facilities in the United States must use the Quality Control Manual to create a Quality
Assurance and Quality Control program. The facility must create the program to meet the
requirements of the Mammography Quality Standards Act or to be accredited by ACR or
another accreditation body.
The facilities outside the United States can use the Quality Control Manual as a guide to
create a program to meet the local standards and regulations.
7.0 Product Complaints
Report any complaints or problem in the quality, reliability, safety, or performance of this
product to Hologic. If the device has caused or added to patient injury, immediately report
the incident to Hologic. (See the title page for contact information.)

Safety Information
Warning: Keep the hands of the patient away from all buttons and
switches at all times.
Warning: The C-Arm movement is motorized.
Warning: You increase the patient dose to high levels if you increase the
AEC exposure adjustment setting. You increase the image noise
or decrease image quality if you decrease the AEC exposure
adjustment setting.
Warning: Put both footswitches away from the patient and C-Arm area to
prevent any accidental footswitch use. When the patient has a
wheelchair, put the footswitches away from the area.
Warning: Control the access to the equipment according to local
regulations for radiation protection.
2.3 Radiation Safety
WARNING! This x-ray system can be dangerous to the patient and the
user. Always follow the safety precautions for x-ray
exposures.
WARNING! The disk drives installed in this system are a Class I Laser
Product. Prevent direct exposure to the beam. Hidden
laser radiation exists if the case to a disk drive is open.
Warning: For exposures except magnification case studies, always use the
Face Shield.
Warning: The Face Shield does not protect from radiation.

Warning: The bar code scanner installed in this system is a Class II Laser
Product. Prevent direct exposure to the beam. Hidden laser
radiation exists if the cover is opened.
Warning: You must keep your complete body behind the radiation shield
for the time of the exposure for maximum protection from x-ray
exposure.
2.4 Data Loss
Warning: Do not move the C-Arm while the system retrieves the image.
Caution:Never turn off the Acquisition Workstation Circuit Breaker except in
emergency. The circuit breaker can turn off the Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS) and risk data loss.
Caution:Do not put any magnetic media near or on devices that create any
magnetic fields, because stored data can be lost.
2.5 Equipment Damage
Caution:Do not put any heat source on the image receptor.
Caution:To minimize possible damage from thermal shock to the Digital Image
Receptor, follow the recommended procedure to turn off the
equipment.
Caution:Do not make any brightness or contrast adjustments to the display
unless the SMPTE test pattern is on the screen.
Caution:Use the least possible amount of cleaning fluids. The fluids must not
flow or run.
Caution:To prevent damage to the electronic components, do not spray
disinfectant on the system.

2.6 Emergency Off Switches
The Emergency Off switches remove the power from the Gantry and the Standard
Acquisition Workstation Lift Mechanism. Do not normally use the Emergency Off switches to
turn off the system. See Chapter 2, page 25, for complete information.
2.7 Interlocks
The Selenia Dimensions has safety interlocks:
• The C-Arm vertical drive and rotation is disabled when 45 Newtons (10 pounds) or
greater of compression force is displayed.
• If the x-ray button is released before the end of the exposure, the exposure stops and an
alarm message appears.
• When in Tomo mode, the system does not allow the Grid in the x-ray field
(Tomosynthesis option).
• Mirror and Filter interlocks prevent the x-ray exposure when the Light Field Mirror or the
Filter is not aligned.

Compliance
3.0 Compliance
This section describes the mammography system compliance requirements and the
responsibilities of the manufacturer.
3.1 Compliance Requirements
The manufacturer has the responsibility for the safety, reliability, and performance of this
equipment with the following provisions:
• The electrical installation of the room meets all requirements.
• The equipment is used according to Instructions for Use.
• The assembly operations, extensions, adjustments, changes, or repairs are performed
only by authorized persons.
• The network and communication equipment must be installed to meet IEC Standards.
The complete system (network and communications equipment and Selenia Dimensions
Mammography System) must be in compliance with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-1.
Caution:Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions about EMC
and must be installed, put into service and used according to the EMC
information provided.
Caution:Portable and Mobile RF communications can affect Medical electrical
Equipment.
Caution:The use of unauthorized accessories and cables can result in increased
emissions or decreased immunity. To keep the isolation quality for the
system, attach only approved Hologic accessories or options to the
system.
Caution:
The Medical Electrical (ME) Equipment or ME System should not be used
adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use
is necessary, the ME Equipment or ME System should be observed to
verify normal operation in the configuration in which it is used.
Caution:This system is intended for use by healthcare professionals only. This
system may cause radio interference or may disrupt the operation of
nearby equipment. It may be necessary to take mitigation measures,
such as re-orienting or relocating the equipment or shielding the
