To protect the patient against unnecessary radiation, other accessories, in addition to those
provided on the system, can be used whenever necessary.
Care must be taken that these accessories do not interfere with the proper radiographic
operation of the apparatus. For example, lead shield collars should be avoided as they may
block the useful X-ray beam.
The following points must always be observed:
• Maintain a safe distance of at least 6 ft (2 m) from the X-ray tube during
exposure.
• All persons not directly involved with the patient should be outside the
examination room, or behind lead or lead glass shielding, during
exposure.
• A film badge should be carried for personal monitoring.
Electrical Hazard
Only qualified service personnel should remove the covers or otherwise obtain access to parts
of the system.
The system may only be used in rooms which comply with the relevant national and/or
international legislation and recommendations (for example, CE and others) concerning
electrical safety in rooms used for medical purposes.
Always disconnect or switch off the equipment before cleaning or disinfecting to avoid the risk
of shock.
Do not allow any liquid to enter the system, as this could cause short-circuits and corrosion.
Mechanical Hazard
When the system is in use, ensure that no body parts or clothing can get caught in any moving
parts.
Explosion Hazard
This system is not suitable for use in the presence of flammable gases or vapors. Certain
disinfectants vaporize and form explosive mixtures. If such disinfectants are used, the vapors
must be left to dissipate before the system is powered up again. For more information, refer to
“Caution with Disinfectants” on page 4-1.
