1.7 Warnings and precautions
1.7.1 Warnings to be observed during use
The unit may be dangerous to the user and the patient, if the
safety regulations in this manual are ignored, if the unit is
not used in the way described in this manual and/or if the
user does not know how to use the unit.
The unit must only be used to take the dental x-ray
exposures described in this manual. The unit must NOT be
used to take any other x-ray exposures. It is not safe to use
the unit to take x-ray exposures, that it is not designed for.
Only professionally qualified dental and/or medical
personnel are allowed to operate the unit and carry out any
diagnoses based on output from the unit.
Because the x-ray limitations and safety regulations change
from time to time, it is the responsibility of the user to make
sure that all the valid safety regulations are fulfilled.
When taking an x-ray exposure of a patient with exceptional
anatomy (typically very tall or large) use the Test-mode (no
x-rays) first to make sure that patient can be positioned
correctly to the unit and for checking that the unit doesn't hit
the patient.
Operator should maintain visible contact with the patient
and technical factors. This allows immediate termination of
radiation by the release of the exposure button in the event
of a malfunction or disturbance.
It is the responsibility of the doctor to decide whether x-ray
exposure or any additional exposures are justified and
necessary.
The minimum height of patient that can be x-rayed in
standing position is 120cm (3.9ft/47.2in) and the maximum
is 200cm (6ft/78in). Taller patients must be seated. These
heights only apply to patients with normal anatomy.
Always use the lowest suitable x-ray dose to obtain the
desired level of image quality.
Always follow the instructions for patient positioning and
imaging procedures instructed in the User Manual.
Avoid taking x-ray exposures of pregnant women.
When taking an x-ray exposure of a child always use the
lowest possible x-ray dose, the smallest possible image
area and the lowest possible resolution that allows you to
perform the required diagnostic task.
