Section 2: Site
Survey
2.1 PURPOSE

The Site Survey is to be used to determine site requirements for the most
optimal installation of your Empower Injector System.

Important!

Please complete and submit the Site Survey Check List prior to
requesting shipment of the Empower Injector System.

2.2 GENERAL SITE CONSIDERATIONS

The following considerations must be reviewed prior to installation:

Power Requirements – The Empower Injector System requires a standard,


hospital grade power source with a grounded outlet. Line cords compatible
with local voltages are provided with the system. A power source with a
dedicated circuit is recommended for all E-Z-EM Injector systems. Two
dedicated outlets are required for use with the Empower Injector System.
The first outlet is for the power supply assembly and the second outlet is for
the Remote Control. Before installation, take careful note to where the
outlets are located. These locations may affect the length of cables required
of the installation. Power outlets should be either 120 VAC/60 Hz or 240
VAC/50 Hz.

Access – Patient access to the gantry (left and right sides) must not be
impeded by the Injector system.

WARNING
Cables on the floor are a potential hazard and should not be in the
patient or hospital staff access path.

Instructions
3.1 INSTALLATION OVERVIEW

After the site survey form has been completed and sent to E-Z-EM, Customer
Service will review the form and the order will be entered in accordance with
the information provided on the form. The appropriate system and
accessories will be sent to the site.

It is the responsibility of the site to install the Ceiling Column or Wall Mount
Bracket for the Articulating Arm, Remote Wall Mount Bracket and to mount
the power supply assembly to the wall if required.

The use of non-E-Z-EM Ceiling Column or Wall mounts is not


recommended.

3.2 CEILING MOUNT COLUMN INSTALLATION

Install the Ceiling Mount Column as follows:

1. Remove the Ceiling Mount Column from its packaging.

Note: Position of the Pivot Shaft (see Fig. 3-1b) is critical to the range of
motion (approximately 270 degrees) of the articulating arm. The pivot shaft
can be orientated in any position prior to securing the ceiling column to its
support structure. Select the pivot shaft orientation such that the resulting
range of motion best addresses the operational requirements of the site (See
Fig. 4-2).

2. Mark the locations of the holes by using the Ceiling Mount Column
drawing (see Figure 4-5). Drill mounting holes at the locations marked.

3. Install the Ceiling Mount Column using the appropriate fasteners and
anchors (NOT PROVIDED) (see Figure 3-1a). Ensure that the base of the
