1.0 Room Planning
The exam room layout
should be pre-planned
before the arrival of the
Affinity. Check the height
and width of the exam
room door to ensure it
will accommodate the
mammography machine
(70" high, 30" wide
minimum).
Other factors to consider
when planning the room
layout are:
• C-arm clear-
ances: The C-arm
requires 55" (min-
imum) to accom-
modate rotation,
and 89” (mini-
mum) to accom-
modate raising
the C-arm to its
upper limit. When planning the room layout, take into consideration extra wall and
ceiling clearance for movement and handling of C-arm controls.
• Radiation Shield clearances: The protective radiation shield extends 24” from the
side of the unit. The room layout must provide enough space to allow the user to
maneuver around the radiation shield when it is attached.
• Movement clearance: Always take into consideration space allocation for patient
and technologist movement. Avoid obstructions in the room that may hinder access
to the unit controls or the patient.
• Storage: Provide convenient storage for patient records, film cassettes, and system
accessories. If accessory storage is not possible within the exam room, make
arrangements for safe storage close by.
• Recommended Power Source Requirements: Refer to Appendix A, Section 1.1-Elec-
trical Input Specifications.
