SECTION 1

INTRODUCTION

This manual contains all the necessary information to understand and operate
the

DX-D 300 U-Arm.

It provides a general description, safety information,

operating instructions and specifications concerning the equipment. This
manual is not intended to teach radiology or to make any type of clinical
diagnosis.

The U-Arm, the DR Detector Assembly, the Control Box and the Patient Mobile
Table are associated equipment to the X-ray Generator Unit.

Basically, the U-Arm consists of the following associated subassemblies:
Vertical Column, Swivel Arm with variable height, X-ray Tube, Collimator,
Control Panel and DR Detector Assembly.

The Control Panel is ergonomically built, equipped with controls and indicators
logically arranged and easily accessible. Duplicate of controls are present at the
DR Detector Assembly and Remote Control for a better accessibility and
handling of the equipment in accordance with the movement to be performed.

All movements of the Swivel U-Arm are motorized. A soft thumb pressure on
the control buttons allows the linear and rotation movements. Undertable and
Thorax positioning of the DR Detector Assembly are automatically performed
by holding pressed the respective controls at the DR Detector Assembly and
Remote Control. The Unit includes different automatic positionings and allows
radiographic exposures to patients in erect, sitting or laying over a mobile table.
