Operation
Startup
Startup of the PRISMA Control Unit consists of the following steps:
1. Operator turns the power switch to the “on” position.
2. The control unit performs an initialization test to check the system
electronics. The Logo screen is displayed, the non-mutable buzzer
sounds, and all status lights are illuminated during the test.
3. When the initialization test is successfully completed, the Choose Patient
screen appears on the display and the yellow status light illuminates.
This indicates the PRISMA Control Unit is in the Setup mode and is
ready for operation.
Note: The above actions occur when a new PRISMA Control Unit is initially
turned on. These actions also occur whenever the unit is turned on after
being turned off in the Treatment Complete screen. If the control unit was last
turned off in a screen other than Treatment Complete, a Query screen
appears after the initialization test is completed. From the Query screen, the
operator can choose one of two actions:
•
Begin on the same operating screen as when the unit was turned off (by
pressing the CONTINUE key).
•
Start over at the Choose Patient screen (by pressing the RESTART key).
Control and Navigation
The PRISMA Control Unit is operated by means of the interactive display on
the upper front panel. The screens displayed lead the operator through the
operating procedures. Help screens provide additional information, if needed.
The softkeys that appear on each screen enable the operator to give
commands to the control unit and navigate between screens.
