IMPLEMENTATION OVERVIEW
Your AeroDR Implementation has three key activities:
Pre‐Site
The purpose of the pre‐site is to insure site readiness on the date of install. The activity entails either an
on‐site visit or a scheduled conference call. This meeting is conducted by the Konica Minolta Medical
Imaging (KMMI) Field Service Engineer (FSE) and should include key people from your site as defined in
the roles and responsibilities section below. The purpose of the pre‐site activity is to review the
complete system(s) that will be installed, review the physical layout of your x‐ray rooms or areas of
portable service, and to discuss all necessary data, technical, and physical site requirements that must
be completed prior to the installation. Your organization will be contacted by KMMI or our
representative to schedule this activity.
Installation
Activities include system shipment to your site location and installation of the equipment in your
facilities.
Applications
Activities include system configuration and applications training. The training will be scheduled based
on the KMMI system(s) purchased and all training will take place at your site after completion of your
installation.

during transportation).
Install the device in a location where chemical agents are not stored.
Install the device in a location where no gas is generated.
Install the device in a location where there are no electrical noise sources.
Install all cables in such a way no one will trip. This may require concealing cables in conduit or
wiring chase. This depends on your facility's guidelines / requirements.
Install the devices in a location where the air inlet and outlet are not blocked.
Do not install the Aero DR Interface Unit (I/F) and the Aero DR Generator Interface Unit (X/G) on
top of each other.
It is suggested that the AeroDR Interface unit (I/F), Generator Interface (X/G), and CS‐7 system be
located as close to the console as possible. Only the Generator Interface (X/G) box has a direct
connection to the X‐ray console. A specifically constructed cable for your model of X‐ray console is
required. This cable’s maximum length is 9 foot (3m). See the image below for an example.
Construction
Depending on the location of the AeroDR system components, numerous wires (network, grounding
cables, and power) require routing and controlling. It is the responsibility of the facility to ensure all
wiring is positioned within their guidelines, safety requirements, local electrical code, or other
requirements not known by KMMI. Any pre‐install construction and any other construction type work
required during installation is the responsibility of the site. Any construction or modification to the X‐
Ray room or control area required to support the installation will need to be completed prior to the
first day of the AeroDR system installation.

requirements, local electrical code, or other requirements not known by KMMI.
Network Requirements
Wireless Survey
If the wireless communication feature of AeroDR is to be used, KMMI will also need to complete a
wireless frequency investigation. The analysis needs to be completed in the X‐ray exposure areas. The
survey will determine the optimal position of the wireless access point and which wireless channel will
be used. The wireless survey takes approximately 20 minutes per X‐ray room.
Option #1 – Network all Component through IF Box (shown in most AeroDR drawings)
All components’ network cables go back to the I/F unit. Only one network cable goes to the facility
network from the I/F unit.

Aero DR Stitching
Workflow Considerations
The layout of the stitching components is critical for an efficient workflow during the stitching process.
The barrier unit, stitching unit and X‐ray will need to be easily accessible by the X‐ray room Technician.
The Stitching unit should be installed in an open area and have wheelchair accessibility. The docking
station for the AeroDR panel should also be placed close by the unit for easy workflow.
12 KMMI‐137 Rev. A
AeroDR Implementation Guide
Space Considerations
There is minimum distance required in the room between the x‐ray tube and front of the Wall Stand
depending on the masking size for the stitching unit to work properly. The below minimum
measurements are from between the tube and front of the wall unit. The stitching unit wall stand is 16
inches away from the wall.
Construction Requirements
Drilling is required on floor and/or wall to secure the stitching stand in place. Floor drilling is required
to insert guides for the barrier unit. Additional construction may be required for the network and
electrical requirements and for a shelf or table for placement of the power unit.
Electrical Requirements
One electrical outlet is required for the stitching unit.
Network Requirements
One additional IP address will be required for the stitching unit. A network jack is also required by the
stitching stand.

Cannot use Stitching Cannot use for Stitching Correct Collimator Shield,
Can use for Stitching.
If your site has the 2‐Cross hairs on the X‐Ray collimator lens, please have your original equipment
manufacturer or dealer involved with Sales or Service change the shield prior to install.
The AeroDR system can accept your Modality Worklist Order information in any of the following DICOM
tags consisting of both Group Number and Element Numbers listed below:
Additionally, site‐specific Departmental Standard Views or Protocols must be provided. Using the
Procedure Code Mapping Tool Assistant, your site will list these views in the order that the AeroDR
system should populate the study to maximize its workflow advantage. For example, for Chest 2 Views,
if your department normally exposes the PA and then the LAT view, please list them in the Mapping Tool
with the PA in the first position followed by the LAT view.
CAUTION: Please note the Procedure Code Mapping file created for your unique site is computer code
and therefore must match exactly the DICOM tag received from your DICOM Modality Worklist
Provider. It is case sensitive, for example if your DICOM Modality Worklist Provider sends the order as
“CHEST 2 Views” but you have provided the order as “Chest two views” this will appear as “No Exam, No
14 KMMI‐137 Rev. A
AeroDR Implementation Guide
Exam” on AeroDR worklist. Care should be taken to provide the most current file. (For additional details
and file image, please refer to Appendix B)
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Shipment of System
Your system will arrive by freight truck the week prior to the installation. Please make sure that you
have a loading dock or other capability to receive the equipment and someone at the site that will
accept the shipment and move the equipment to the storage or staging area. A KMMI Implementation
Coordinator will contact your site to confirm these details in advance.
If your site requested a pre‐call, the carrier will call the site contact provided to advise the timing of the
upcoming delivery. The carrier will unload the shipment onto the loading dock and may also move the
cartons to the designated area. If the equipment is not in the staging area or by the x‐ray room, a cart
should be available for the KMMI FSE to use to move the equipment during installation.
Installation of System
During the first few hours or first day of the install (depending on the number of systems), the KMMI FSE
will unpack the boxes and begin to assemble and configure the system(s) in the staging area. On
average, it will take approximately 4 ‐ 8 hours for this activity for each in‐room and portable system.
After the staging is complete, the FSE will need access to the x‐ray room for the in‐room system for
approximately 4 hours per system to physically install the AeroDR components and connect to the
existing x‐ray generator. For stitching, one (1) day will be required for in‐room setup. During
installation, down‐time in the x‐ray room is required. If wiring and drilling is required during the
physical installation, facilities maintenance will need to be available to perform those activities.
After the physical install, the IT resource at the site will need to work with the FSE to secure the
connection to the site network and the PACS/RIS. The PACS/RIS administrator will also need to be
involved to insure connectivity to the systems.
Room downtime can be reduced by insuring the necessary resources (IT, PACS/RIS & Facilities) as
indicated above during the installation.
After the system is installed, the FSE will work to calibrate the panel in order to insure proper image
quality. If applications are not scheduled immediately after the installation, you will still be able to use
your system in prior configuration.

APPLICATIONS OVERVIEW
Configuration
The application specialist will require time initially to confirm the configuration of your unique
installation. Site specific Procedure Code Mapping files, custom exam tags etc. will be loaded prior to
the first full day of application training.
Training
KMMI provides a comprehensive training program for the system(s) you have purchased. Lectures and
hands‐on training will take place at your facility utilizing your AeroDR system(s).
Consistent with industry standards, our applications training is based on a Train the Trainer concept.
KMMI will train key individuals identified by your facility as your system “Super Users”. Your “Super
Users” will receive training in the operation and customization of your AeroDR system(s). At the
completion of training, they will be proficient in these tasks and will be your on‐site resource for
questions and customization requests.
The utilization of on‐site “Super Users” allows you to continue training your current staff as well as new
departmental technical staff in the future. We believe it is vital to keep the training classes small in order
to ensure quality training.
Training Schedule
Your applications training will be designed to make maximum effective use of your department staff
time. Training is conducted at your site during normal business hours (8:30—5:00 PM) using your
AeroDR system.
Required Participants
Super User: Your “Super Users”, two (2) per site, will need training on each piece of the system and for
all functions of the system with customizable features. When selecting your “Super Users”, keep in mind
that they must attend each of the individual training sessions. All “Super Users” should be excused from
their normal daily tasks during scheduled training sessions in order to take full advantage of the training
provided.
Radiologist: A Radiologist or other key personnel with the authority to approve final image quality
should be available throughout the entire applications training period.
On the first full day of training we recommend a reduced load of patients in order to ensure a

Procedure Code Mapping is an advanced software function on the CS‐7 which enhances workflow.
Procedure Code Mapping is generated from a DICOM Modality Worklist. Therefore, once incorporated,
Procedure Code Mapping and Modality Worklist will work hand in hand. The Modality Worklist provides
the ability for the AeroDR to receive patient demographics i.e. name, birthday, sex, identification
number and the requested procedure description. Once the Procedure Code Mapping software is
integrated, then customers can also receive pre‐selected views for a requested patient study.
The diagrams below present the different ways your Aero DR system can acquire patient information to
support Procedure Code Mapping. Determine which path most closely resembles your own flow of
information from your Modality Worklist Provider.
In Path A, you do not have a RIS, a PACS broker or a Modality Worklist. All information is manually
entered into the CS‐7 by the Technologist. In this scenario, Procedure Code Mapping is not possible.
In Path B, you have a RIS which communicates the Modality Worklist directly to the CS‐7. In this
scenario, implementing Procedure Code Mapping is possible.
In Path C, you have a RIS and a PACS broker (all in one) which provides the DICOM Modality Worklist to
the CS‐7. In this scenario, implementing Procedure Code Mapping is possible.
31 KMMI‐137 Rev. A
AeroDR Implementation Guide
In Path D, you have a RIS that sends information to a Broker that is independent of PACS. The Broker
feeds information to the PACS system. Here the Modality Worklist is being generated and sent by PACS
to the CS‐7. In this scenario, as well, implementing Procedure Code Mapping is possible.
An example of the Procedure Mapping Code File is shown below for reference.
