Control Efficiency
The control layout is logical and
simple in operation. The controls
allow maximum flexibility in the
choice of techniques but are fully
interlocked so that the selected
values of mA, kV and time,
always fall within the permissible
rating of the X-ray tube. A long
coiled handswitch cable enables

Robust construction for heavy workloads
The MX4 Mobile is robustly
constructed for the heavy
workload of hospital wards,
casualty departments, fracture
clinics and operating theatres.
The monobloc tubehead achieves
high power output for a wide
range of radioraphic techniques.
The tubehead contains the high
tension and filament
transformers, full wave silicon
rectifiers and the rotating anode
X-ray tube, thus eliminating the
need for a separate H.T.
Safety in transit with ease
transformer unit and H.T. cables.
Control handles at the front of the
MX4, combined with the
compact mechanical base
construction provide exceptional
manoeuvrability. The handles of
the manually propelled unit, when
gripped take the brakes "off",
when released the brakes are
automatically re-applied. For final
small positional adjustments a
push-button catch holds the
brakes "off".
of manipulation
In transit, the tubehead is rotated
and positioned over the control to
minimise risk of damage and
ensure good forward vision. A
choice of manual or power driven
units is available. Where long
distances or slopes require to be
negotiated, the power driven unit
is recommended. Two compact
12 volt batteries power a dual
speed motor connected by chain
drive to the main Wheels. A
built-in battery charger operates
automatically when the unit is
plugged into a mains supply. A
removable key prevents
unauthorised use by
immobilising the motor drive
and X-ray generator.
Many simple and practical design features allied
to heavy duty construction give the MX4 its
ability to withstand vigorous handling in use
These include:
A protective hinged cover over
the control panel which
safeguards the controls in transit
and when the apparatus is not
being used.
A retractable mains cable 10
metres long (321t. approx)
located below the control unit
Atter use, the cable is easily
wound back 11: a small handle;
the cable plug being housed
within a recess.
A protected storage space
beneath the control which
accepts cassettes up to 35.6
cm x 43cm (14in xl7in) and
protective gloves, etc:
,
Rotating buffers fuced.nonzontally
on the front corner's of the mobile
which help to protect the unit
against accidental collisions.

Operation and
controls
Propulsion
Two 12 volt batteries provide
the power.
The drive itself is transmitted to
the floor through a single wheel,
which is raised and lowered by
foot pedals. When the drive wheel
is in the raised position the
operator is able to ease the unit
manually in to the desired position
without any friction from the
dr mechanism.
A /9115Vverful disc brake is operated
by a single lever conveniently
positioned by the operator's hand.
Controls are provided for forward
and reverse drive. The unit is
power boosted to negotiate
slopes or ramps. A key switch
prevents interference from
unauthorised persons.
X-ray Controls
All controls are grouped in a
practical working manner at the
front of the unit, with a hinged
panel providing protection during
transportation or when the unit is
stationary. Large size meters are
? provided for kV and mA/mAs.
Connection to the mains supply
is via a 9.4m (:30ft) cable on a
simile annular cable drum
ated on the cassette box. To
ctirfpensate for changes in line
impedance throughout the
hospital, a six position switch
is incorporated on the control
panel. At the time of installation,
a numbered disc is fitted beside
each required supply socket in
the hospital. The operator simply
adjusts the 'line resistance
control' to match this number
to obtain maximum performance.
The exposure handswitch is
provided on a long coiled cable
enabling operators to position
themselves at a safe distance
during an exposure.
Controls provided are :---

Special features
High power 300mA and 125kV output. Full-wave
rectified using selenium rectifiers. Exposure
termination by thyristor solid state primary
switching.
Motor driven battery propelled for movement
between various departments or wards with
facilities for manual propulsion when necessary.
The unique telescopic system for both crossarm and
vertical carriage movements provides rigidity
during transit and extensive X-ray tube movement
when used in the wards or theatre.
Robust construction withstands vigorous handling.
Compact overall dimensions for easy storage and
positioning.
Functional control layout with large exposure factor
meters. A protective panel covers controls during
transit.
A box is provided for storage and transport of
cassettes.
It is often necessary or preferred
to X-ray patients in the ward
rather than take them to the X-ray
department. This proves
particularly useful when moving
the patient can be dangerous or
painful, or when they are under
intensive care.
Additionally, the ability to
radiograph the patient in the ward
reduces congestion within the
corridors and waiting areas of the
X-ray department, thus improving
the flow of patients generally
The GEC Medical 038 Mobile
Unit is designed and engineered
to -ulfil these needs.
Evun within the X-ray department,
the D38 will prove most useful,
as a stand-by unit, or as a
ca' ualty unit, particularly when ,
us ,.d in conjunction with a
Becky table or accident trolley.,
Be,ng a high powered mobile
un t, the facilities and features
of the D38 recommend its use
wi,hin clinics, medical and
in( ustrial health centres or the
operating theatre.
In transit
In transit the 038 is highly mobile
an I easy to handle. When fully
charged, the battery system
allows the unit to be driven up to
se./en miles. When re-charging
becomes necessary, the unit can
be readily plugged into a mains
su Iply, and the built-in battery
charger takes over. To improve
control on slopes or ramps a hand
brake is provided.
The moulded pad fitted to the
control cover holds the X-ray tube
rigid, and reduces the risk of
damage to the tube when moving
over differing floor surfaces
thtoughout the hospital; and also
when the unit is manoeuvred. :-
though doors, around corners
and into and out of lifts. A steel
bt,mper bar provides additional
protection.
