During clinical use, the end-user faced several technical faults. The distributor contacted MECANMED’s technical support team to request urgent help to diagnose and restore the system.
The Challenge: Equipment Errors Affected Daily Radiography Operations
The DR X-ray system experienced three major issues:
System Error Codes: The console repeatedly threw Error Code 6 and Error Code 61. These alerts interrupted normal exposure sequences during patient scans.
Abnormal Equipment Noise: The system generated an abnormal sound. The noise occurred during lumbar radiography exposures.
Substandard Image Quality: The acquired radiographic images showed clear signs of image degradation. They failed to meet clinical diagnostic clarity requirements.
These issues affected radiography operation and risked delays in patient care. The end-user needed fast technical help to reduce equipment downtime.
Remote Troubleshooting & Technical Support Process
After receiving the distributor’s request, MECANMED’s technical team acted quickly. A dedicated WhatsApp group was created with the local field engineer for direct communication.
Through this channel, our engineer provided step-by-step technical guidance. He worked closely with the local engineer throughout the diagnosis and recovery process.
Step 1: Remote Diagnosis and Error Code Analysis
A MECANMED engineer first analyzed the reported system errors and operating conditions through remote communication.
According to the X-ray tube technical documentation, Error Code 6 was associated with the anode rotation assembly. Our engineer provided step-by-step video guidance to help the local engineer inspect the system and verify the suspected issue.
Step 2: System Calibration and Hardware Inspection
Our engineer provided remote technical support to investigate potential causes and guide the local engineer through the following steps:
Large and small focal spot calibration
Main PCB visual inspection (checking for burnt components, trace damage, or thermal-related issues)
High-voltage cable condition inspection(checking for blackened surfaces, insulation damage, or signs of dielectric breakdown)
Circuit board voltage measurement using a multimeter
Step 3: Image Quality Verification and System Adjustment
After hardware checks and calibration, the field engineer performed test exposures.
The images were evaluated for:
Radiographic clarity
Contrast resolution
Image artifact conditions
The results confirmed that image quality had improved and returned to normal operating standards.
Step 4: Remote DICOM Printer Installation Support
Along with system troubleshooting, our engineer provided remote desktop support. He helped set up the medical dry film printer.
The engineer assisted with:
Printer installation
Network IP configuration
The printing workflow was successfully restored.
Final Results: DR X-ray System Returned to Normal Operation
Through this structured remote technical support, all reported issues were completely resolved:
Error Codes Cleared: Error Codes 6 and 61 were successfully eliminated.
Abnormal Noise Eliminated: The abnormal noise during lumbar radiography ceased completely.
Image Quality Restored: Radiographic image quality improved and returned to normal clinical standards.
Complete System Recovery: The DR X-ray system and DICOM printing workflow were restored for daily operation.
