IMPORTANT!...X-RAY PROTECTION
X-Ray equipment if not properly used may cause injury. Accordingly the instructions herein contained
should be thoroughly read and understood before you attempt to place this equipment in operation. The
General Electric Company, Healthcare Division, will be glad to assist and cooperate in placing this equip-
ment in use.
Although this apparatus incorporates a high degree of protection against x-radiation other than the use-
ful beam, no practical design of equipment can provide complete protection. Nor can any practical
design compel the operator or his assistant to take adequate precautions to prevent the possibility of
authorized or unauthorized persons carelessly, unwisely, or unknowingly exposing themselves or others
to direct or secondary radiation.
It is important that everyone having anything to do with x-radiation be fully acquainted with the recom-
mendations of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements as published in NCRP
Reports available from NCRP Publications, 7910 Woodmont Ave., Bethesda, MD 20814, and of the Inter-
national commission on Radiation Protection, and take adequate steps to insure protection against
injury.
It is assumed that all persons authorized to use the equipment are cognizant of the danger of excessive
exposure to x-radiation and the equipment is sold with the understanding that the General Electric Com-
pany, Medical Systems Division, its agents, and representatives have no responsibility for injury or dam-
age which may result from exposure to x-radiation.
Various protective materials and devices are available. It is urged that such materials and devices be
used.
