These Instructions for Use describe the most extensive configuration of the
product, with the maximum number of options and accessories. Not every
function described may be available on your product.
These Instructions for Use describe the Base Station Package. In order to get
an immediate hands-on experience of the Base Station

Intended use of the DoseAware System
This Philips product is intended to be installed, used and operated only in
accordance with the safety procedures and operating instructions given in
these Instructions for Use for the purpose for which it was designed. The
purpose for which the product is intended is given below. However, nothing
stated in these Instructions for Use reduces users’ responsibilities for sound
clinical judgment and best clinical procedure.
The DoseAware System is an electronic X-ray dose monitoring system. The
intended use is to improve the awareness of people who work with or are in
the presence of X-Ray imaging equipment, about their occupational dose
(also known as staff dose).
The awareness focuses on:
•a graphical visualization of the real-time staff dose rate while working
with X-Ray equipment in examination rooms during medical procedures;
• instant access to historical staff dose for reporting and analysis purposes.
The benefits of the DoseAware System are to:
• make people aware of their received staff dose during clinical work with
X-ray imaging equipment;
• instantly visualize the result of reducing measures of occupational
dose by, for example, changing a person’s position in the examination room.

The customer or the user of the DoseAware system can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between
portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the
DoseAware system as recommended below, according to the maximum
output power of the communications equipment:
•A minimum distance of 20 cm between a PDM and a mobile phone or
regular electronic device (e.g. a computer).
• A minimum distance of 50 cm between a PDM and a medical device or
intended radiator (e.g. a wireless router).
These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is
affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
Modality specific safety
During communication between the Base Station and PDMs, personal data is
transmitted in open air.
Be careful when using a PDM while being near a patient and make sure that
the PDM does not fall or comes in contact with other equipment (such as a
catheter) to endanger the procedure.
Do not move a PDM to an unknown environment (for example another
hospital). If you are visiting unknown environments, there is a risk that
personal data is registered there. For correct registration of staff dose data,
only use the PDM within designated environment.
Philips Medical Systems declares that all CE marked DoseAware products
incorporating Radio and Telecoms Terminal Equipment functionality are in
compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of
Directive 1999/5/EC.

Network safety, security and privacy
Customer Role in the Product Security Partnership
We recognize that the security of Philips Medical Systems products is an
important part of your facility's security-in depth strategy. However, these
benefits can only be realized if you implement a comprehensive, multi-
layered strategy (including policies, processes, and technologies) to protect
information and systems from external and internal threats.
Following industry-standard practice, your strategy should address physical
security, operational security, procedural security, risk management, security
policies, and contingency planning. The practical implementation of
technical security elements varies by site and may employ a number of
technologies, including firewalls, virus-scanning software, authentication
technologies, etc.
As with any computer-based system, protection must be provided such that
firewalls and/or other security devices are in place between the medical
system and any externally accessible systems.
The USA Veterans Administration has developed a widely used Medical
Device Isolation Architecture for this purpose. Such perimeter and network
defenses are essential elements in a comprehensive medical device security
strategy.

Using the Base Station
Introduction
The Base Station is the display unit in the DoseAware System. It
communicates wireless with PDMs within radio range in order to collect,
present and store PDM dose data.
The distance from which the Base Station detects a PDM depends on the
settings that the service engineer made during the installation. If several Base
Stations are installed close to each other, the Base Station detects PDMs that
are located within a few meters. Otherwise the Base Station will detect
PDMs from longer distances.
Do not start up the product unless you and all other users present have read, fully
understood and know all the safety information and emergency procedures given in
the Safety section of these Instructions for Use. Operation of the product without
having read, understood and knowing all the safety information and procedures in the
Safety section could lead to fatal or other serious personal injury, clinical
misdiagnosis, or clinical mistreatment.

The| Displayed Name| button identifies the PDMs. It may be truncated on
the button due to lack of space.
By tapping the| Displayed Name| button of a PDM, you will enter the Walk-
Up View of that PDM.
The dose rate scale is divided in three zones:
•Green zone indicates good working habits. Proper actions have been
taken to avoid exposure for unnecessary radiation.
• Yellow zone indicates higher doses, which can be
acceptable for shorter periods of time, for example if you need to stand
closer to the patient during a procedure. If you are exposed to radiation in
the yellow zone frequently, you need to take actions to minimize the dose
exposure.
• Red zone dose indications should not occur during normal procedures. If
you are exposed to radiation in the red zone, you need to take actions to
minimize the dose exposure.
When a PDM moves out of range of the Base Station, its button will remain
visible in the Online View for two minutes. The button will then remain
grayed out for another eight minutes before it
disappears. This feature allows people to temporarily leave the room without
loosing their position in the list. When a button is grayed out, it is not
possible to access the Walk-Up View.
If no PDM has been within range of the Base Station for 30 minutes, the
Online View will enter screen saver mode. In screen saver mode the Base
Station displays a black screen. The Base Station screen starts up when a
PDM connects to the Base Station or when the user taps the screen.

This is an optional setting, which you can use to reserve a number of slots in
the Online View for the clinical
roles Doctor, Nurse and Technician (see figure above).
If you, for example, have reserved three slots for Doctors but the Base
Station detects only one, there will be two empty slots before the first Nurse
appears.
If you want to reserve slots for Nurses, you also have to reserve slots for
Doctors. If you want to reserve slots for Technicians, you also have to
reserve slots for Doctors and Nurses.
The default behavior “Auto” is first-come, first-served, which means that
PDMs will appear on the screen in the order the Base Station detects them,
sorted after their clinical role. This is the recommended setting.

In the Information tab you can:
•Edit PDM information (full name, displayed name, PDM position,
clinical role, and annual dose limit value, see section “Walk-Up view
– view detailed dose data ” on page 3-7) and select
a displayed symbol, which is displayed in the Base Station interface. The
displayed name is used to identify a PDM in the Base Station. The name
is limited to 16 characters. However, in the Base Station’s online view,
the displayed name may be truncated.
The dose measurement for a PDM depends on factors such as where on the body the
PDM is positioned and if x-ray protection devices (for example a lead
apron) that shield the PDM measurements are used. These factors need to be
considered for the annual dose limit.

Make sure that the computer’s clock is correct, otherwise the dose history data will
be shifted in time and therefore not accurate anymore.
•If you need to change hour-portion of time, the dose history will have to be
reset. This is done automatically; you just need to confirm the action. When you
synchronize PDM’s time the internal clock will be synchronized to the same time as
the host PC, including the Windows time zone settings. If you are using multiple
PDMs, it is important to synchronize time for the PDMs with the same PC, because
they will have the same time reference.
• If you need to change the time backwards to where there is dose history stored,
the dose history will have to be reset. This is done automatically; you just need to
confirm the action
•The synchronization takes immediate effect and you do not need to press the
|Save| button.

Using the PDM
Introduction
Figure 5.1 The PDM
The PDM is an active dose meter designed for maintenance-free usage
throughout its lifetime.
You can personalize the PDM’s appearance by attaching one of
the 8 inlays of different color, which are delivered together with the PDM
(see the PDM Quick Guide).
The PDM measures staff dose. The optimal usage for the PDM to measure
dose is to use it unshielded from any X-ray protection devices.
Getting started
Follow the instructions below to start using your PDM:
1Make sure that the PDM’s power mode is set to section “Change PDM
options” on page 4-7.

The PDM now records dose values and transmits them to Base Stations
within range. You can also read out the recorded dose values
by using DoseView via the Cradle (see section “Getting started with
DoseView” on page 4-2).
See the “Technical Data” chapter to learn more about PDM
memory and data transfer between PDM and Base Stations.

Maintenance
Calibrating the Base Station screen
If the touch screen does not respond correctly to user interaction, a touch
screen re-calibration may be needed.
Follow the instructions below to perform a re-calibration:
1Tap and hold on the Philips start up screen that appears during Base Station
startup until the Setup view appears.
2Follow the instruction on the bottom of the screen and the subsequent
instructions in the next views.
Cleaning and disinfection
Cleaning and disinfection of this product is required periodically.
Guidelines for each are given below.
Always isolate the equipment from the mains electrical supply before cleaning,
disinfecting or sterilizing to prevent electric shocks.
Never allow water or other liquids to leak into the equipment as this may cause
electrical short-circuits or metal corrosion.
Cleaning and disinfection techniques for both the product and the room
must comply with all applicable local laws and regulations.
Cleaning
Enameled parts and aluminum surfaces should only be wiped clean with a
damp cloth and a mild detergent, and then rubbed down with a dry woolen
cloth. Never use corrosive cleaning agents, solvents, abrasive detergents or
abrasive polishes. If you are not sure about the properties of a cleaning
agent, do not use it.

Chrome parts should only be cleaned by rubbing down with a dry woolen
cloth. Do not use abrasive polishes. To preserve the finish, use non-abrasive
wax.
Disinfection
Those parts of the product that are suitable for such treatment, including
accessories and connecting cables, can be disinfected by wiping with a cloth
dampened with a suitable agent. Never use corrosive or solvent disinfectants
or sterilizing agents. If you are not sure about the properties of a disinfectant
or sterilizing agent, do not use it.
Do not use flammable or potentially explosive disinfecting sprays. Such sprays create
vapors, which can ignite, causing fatal or other serious personal injury.
Disinfecting a medical product room by means of sprays is not recommended, since
the vapor could penetrate the product, causing electrical short-circuits, metal
corrosion or other damage to the product.
If non-flammable, non-explosive spray disinfectants are to be used, the
equipment must first be switched off and allowed to cool. This prevents
convection currents from drawing spray mist into the product. Plastic
sheeting must be used to cover the product thoroughly, after which spraying
can begin.
Once all traces of the disinfectant vapor have dispersed, the plastic sheeting
can be removed and the equipment itself can be disinfected in the
recommended way.
If a spray was used, you must be satisfied that all traces of the vapor have
dispersed before switching the product on again.

PDM memory
The PDM has two dose data memories:
•The accumulated dose memory, where the PDM stores accumulated dose
values every hour for the entire lifetime of the PDM.
• The dose rate memory, where the PDM stores dose rate samples. When
the radiation exceeds 40 µSv/h, the PDM stores one sample per
second. This memory is limited to 3600 second-samples.
When the dose rate memory is full, the oldest data will be overwritten with newer data.
Base Station memory
The Base Station stores dose information and PDM Info for PDMs that
have been connected to it.
As the Base Station does not have a limitation of 3600 s for the dose rate
memory, the information transmitted from the PDM will be more detailed.
When a PDM is connected to a Base Station, it continuously transmits its
measured dose exposures.
When the Base Station memory is full, the oldest data will be overwritten.
The capacity of the Base Station depends on the number of PDMs that have
been On-Line and the number of dose rate samples. Storage capacity example:
• 290 hours of dose exposure for 50 PDMs each.
Dose data transfer from PDM to Base Station
When a PDM gets within range of a Base Station, it will transfer data to the
Base Station (the accumulated dose values the PDM has collected since last
time it was within range). If a PDM is within range of a Base
Station when it is exposed to radiation, the PDM will also start sending dose
rate samples to the Base Station each second.

PDM and Base Station/DoseView memories
Dose rate samples that have been overwritten in the PDM’s dose rate
memory may still be available in the Base Station.
If there are no dose rate samples neither in the Base Station, nor in the
PDM dose rate memory, the Base Station and DoseView will instead display
mean dose rate values based on accumulated dose values (see figure below).
Lack of dose rate samples in the Base Station and/or DoseView memories
occurs when the:
•PDM is not within range of the Base Station when it is exposed to radiation.
•Dose rate samples in the PDM dose rate memory are overwritten.
Figure 10.1 DoseView chart. In lack of dose rate samples, the yellow curve displays mean
dose rate values per hour calculated from the accumulated dose (blue curve).
The same effect as illustrated in the figure above is also obtained by un-checking the
Show details check box in the Data filter panel (see section “View dose graph” on
page 4-12 ).

Time management
The PDM logs dose history in local time with no daylight saving time
adjustments. Daylight saving time adjustment is done in the Base Station,
DoseView or Dose Manager when the dose history is presented.
The following happens when the daylight saving time is changed:
•When going to summertime, one extra hour with no dose data will be
added to the dose log.
• When going to wintertime, two hours of dose data will be merged into
one hour. This hour contains no dose rate details. When changing
from summertime to wintertime, dose date details in the two merged
hours will not be displayed.
Technical Specifications
