1.8 Cleaning
• Always disconnect the MOBILETT from the power supply and switch it off before clean-
ing or disinfecting it.
• Never use abrasive cleaners or cleaning agents with solvents (e.g. cleaning solutions,
alcohol or spot removers), since they may damage housing surfaces.
• Do not spray anything on or into the unit.
• Wipe off the MOBILETT with a cloth moistened in water or a diluted, lukewarm solution
of water and dishwashing liquid.
For more information, see the Chapter on "Cleaning and disinfection” in the operating
instructions.
* Within the purview of DIN VDE 075-1, we recommend documenting the results of the
maintenance both in the maintenance protocol and in the TSC protocol. The protocols
should be filled out completely and handed over to the client after maintenance is com-
plete.
Materials needed for periodic replacement can be requested from the responsible local
Uptime Service Center.
2.4 Log
The maintenance protocol must be completed and signed. Replacement and repair mea-
sures must be listed separately in the protocol under “Work procedures performed”.
To ensure compliance with the applicable regulations in the "US Federal Perfor-
mance Standard", the user of the MOBILETT XP Digital is responsible for perform-
ing maintenance procedures at least once each year.
Neither the system manufacturer nor its representatives assume any responsibility
in the event of non-compliance with the above requirements.
The maintenance protocol lists these abbreviations for the test items.
NOTE For evaluation purposes, the first measured value and the values
documented during maintenance or safety checks must be com-
pared to the measured values. A sudden or unexpected increase
in the measured values may indicate a defect in the protective con-
ductor connections - even if the limit value of 0.2 ohms is not ex-
ceeded. (Protective conductor or contacts).
The measurement must be performed according to DIN VDE 0751, Part 1 (see ARTD
Part 2). The protective conductor resistance for all touchable conductive parts must be
measured during the normal operating state of the system.
Make sure that control cables or data cables between the components of the system are
not mistaken for protective conductor connections.
During the measurement, move the power cable and additional connection cables with an
integrated protective conductor section by section to detect cable breaks.
The protective conductor resistance must not exceed 0.2 Ohms.
Fig. 1: Measuring circuit for measuring the protective conductor resistance for units that are
disconnected from power, in compliance with DIN VDE 0751-1/2001-10, Fig. C2.
Pos. 1 = System
Pos. 2 = Application part type B (if available)
Pos. 3 = Measurement setup (integrated into measuring device)
The values determined, including the measuring points, must be recorded and assessed
in the protective conductor resistance report.
The measuring procedure and the measuring device used (designation and serial num-
ber) must also be documented.
Observe the instructions in the "Safety Rules for Installation and Repair"
(ARTD-002.731.17 ...).
Measurement
Perform the measurement according to DIN VDE 0751, Part 1 (see ARTD-002.731.17....),
and record the determined value.
The measuring procedure indicated in the report must be used.
If the first measured value has to be newly determined (see previous information), a mea-
suring procedure can be selected (direct measurement or differential measurement).
Measurement of the leakage current according to the differential current method (mea-
surement setup according to (Fig. 2 / p. 25)) must be given preference, since this method
is not dangerous to the person performing the measurement and other persons.
However, please note the minimum resolution of the leakage current measuring device
and any additional manufacturer information restricting the use of the measuring device.
Fig. 2: Measuring circuit for measuring the system leakage current according to the differential
current method in compliance with DIN VDE 0751-1/2001-10, Fig. C6 for protection
class I.
Pos. 1 = System
Pos. 2 = Application part type B (if available)
Pos. 3 = Measurement setup (integrated into measuring device)
If the direct measurement of the leakage current is used (measurement setup according
to (Fig. 3 / p. 26)), the system must be insulated during the measurement and must not be
touched.
Fig. 3: Measuring circuit for direct measurement of the system leakage current in compliance
with DIN VDE 0751-1/2001-10, Fig. C5 for protection class I.
Pos. 1 = System
Pos. 2 = Application part type B (if available)
Pos. 3 = Measurement setup (integrated into measuring device)
The system must be switched on during measurement. Measuring devices with auto-
mated measuring sequences must therefore be set to manual measurement.
This value must not exceed the permissible leakage current values according to DIN VDE
0751-1/2001-10, Table F.1, line "leakage current for devices according to remarks 1 and
3", of 2.5 mA.
Measure and record the current line voltage. If the measured line voltage deviates from
the nominal voltage, correct the measured value to the value corresponding to a mea-
surement at the nominal value of the line voltage. This must also be documented.
In the case of repeat measurements, the measured value must also be evaluated.
NOTE For evaluation purposes, the first measured value and the values
documented during maintenance or safety checks must be com-
pared to the measured values. A sudden or unexpected increase
in the measured values may indicate that a fault has occurred in
the primary power supply circuit (insulation damage, damage from
moisture, defective interference suppressor, etc.) - even if the limit
value of 2.5 mA is not exceeded.
NOTE File the leakage current report in the "Certificates" register no. 9 in
the system binder.
Measurement
The patient leakage current must be measured for each application part.
The measurement must be made according to DIN VDE 0751, Part 1 (see
ARTD-002.731.17...).
Fig. 4: Measuring circuit for measurement of the patient leakage current in a type B application
part with a protective conductor in compliance with DIN VDE 0751-1/2001-10, Fig. C10.
Pos. 1 = System
Pos. 2 = Application part type B
Pos. 3 = Measurement setup (integrated into measuring device)
The system must be switched on during measurement. Measuring devices with auto-
mated measuring sequences must therefore be set to manual measurement.
The same measuring conditions as in the first measurement apply.
The values determined in the repeat measurement, including the application parts/mea-
suring points, must be recorded and assessed in the patient leakage current report.
The values for each application part may not exceed the permissible leakage current val-
ues according to DIN VDE 0751-1/ 2001-10, table F.1, line "patient leakage current" of
0.01 mA for direct current and 0.1 mA for alternating current.
Document the measuring procedure and the measuring device used (designation and
serial number).
In the case of repeat measurements, the measured values must also be evaluated.
NOTE For evaluation purposes, the first measured value and the values
documented during maintenance or safety checks must be com-
pared to the measured values. A sudden or unexpected increase
in the measured values may indicate a defect in the system (pro-
tective conductor connection damage, insulation damage, dam-
age from moisture, etc.) - even if the limit value of 0.01 mA for
direct current and 0.1 mA for alternating current is not exceeded.
NOTE File the patient leakage current report in the "Certificates" register
no. 9 in the system binder.
NOTE A new report must be created if the patient leakage current mea-
surements are not documented.
A new patient leakage current report can be found in the startup in-
structions SPR8-230.814.30.03. Separate this report from these in-
structions, fill it out, and file it in the "Certificates" register no. 9 in
the system binder. If values are newly determined, they must be re-
corded as first measured values. The evaluation is omitted in this
case.
NOTE Within the purview of DIN VDE 0751-1, the operator of medical en-
gineering products has to perform technical safety checks at reg-
ular intervals.
The checks listed in these maintenance instructions include all
technical safety checks required by DIN VDE 0751-1.
A separate protocol with the print number SP00.000.834.01... is
available for each technical safety check.
Within the purview of DIN VDE 0751-1, we recommend document-
ing the maintenance results both in the maintenance protocol and
in the TSC protocol. The protocols should be filled out completely
and handed over to the client after maintenance is complete.
The table below assigns each technical safety check listed in doc-
ument SP00.000.834.01... to the corresponding maintenance work.

PMF Illuminance
• Log the illuminance.
If the light localizer is switched on for illuminating the radiation field, the average illumi-
nance must be at least 180 Lux at a distance of 100 cm. The average illuminance is deter-
mined in that measurements are performed approximately in the center of each of the four
light field quadrants (Fig. 24 / p. 55).
3.5.1 Batteries
The longest charging time is approx. 12 hrs. The three LEDs light up yellow on the control
panel (3/Fig. 27 / p. 58).
One discharge cycle allows for 80 exposures with maximum kV/mAs values and transport
operation of approx. 3,000 m.
Realistic statement: The MOBILETT does not need to be charged during the 12-hour
workday.
If the minimum battery charge is reached in < 5 hrs., the battery must be replaced.
NOTE Completely reassemble the system and attach all the covers for
the following work procedures.

• After switching the system on, wait until its temperature has stabilized. The unit is ready
for these measurements after 15 minutes.
X • Initiate the number of exposures with the specified exposure data:
- 85 kV, 1.0 mAs, 10 exposures.
• Measure the dose for each exposure.
• Reset the display prior to each new measurement.
Calculations:Coefficient of variation C
Coefficient of variation C is determined for a series of 10 dose measurements with the fol-
lowing formula:
Fig. 31:
The following shows an example of the procedure. Follow this procedure and record the
result in the protocol.
Coefficient of variation C must be ≤ 0.045.
If the value obtained is > 0.045, locate and correct the cause according to the trouble-
shooting instructions.
QSQ Determine coefficient of variation C.
Example for determining coefficient of variation C:
Step 1)
• 10 exposures with recorded measurements (fictitious measured values).
Step 2)
• Addition of measured values:
∑ = 1.01 + 1.02 + 1.03 + 1.04 + 1.03 + 1.02 + 1.02 + 1.01 + 1.03 + 1.04 = 10.25

Step 3)
Calculation of the standard deviation:

Step 4)
• Calculation of the coefficient:
Fig. 36:
In this example, the generator complies with the specification:
C = 0.0105, hence it is ≤ 0.0450.

• See “Quality assurance, SPR8-230.820.30...”.
• The system must be switched on during measurement. Measuring devices with auto-
mated measuring sequences must therefore be set to manual measurement.
• Document the measuring procedure (differential measurement or direct measurement)
and the measuring device used (designation and serial number).
• Measure and record the current line voltage. If the measured line voltage deviates from
the nominal voltage, correct the measured value to the value corresponding to a mea-
surement at the nominal value of the line voltage. This must also be documented.
• The highest value must be entered in the leakage current report and evaluated.
NOTE File the leakage current report in the "Certificates" register no. 9 in
the system binder.
NOTE File the patient leakage current report in the "Certificates" register
no. 9 in the system binder.
NOTE A new report must be created if the patient leakage current mea-
surements are not documented.
A new patient leakage current report can be found in the startup in-
structions SPR8-230.814.30.03. Separate this report from these in-
structions, fill it out, and file it in the "Certificates" register no. 9 in
the system binder. If values are newly determined, they must be re-
corded as first measured values. The evaluation is omitted in this
case.
3.13 Cleaning
PMP Cleaning
• Dampen a cloth with a mixture of lukewarm water and regular household cleaner. Clean
the entire system.
