1.8.4. EMERGENCY BUTTON
The system is equipped with an emergency button to stop X-ray device operation, located under the patient support
arm in proximity of the telescopic column. A remote emergency button is connected using the dedicated connector on
the board located at the feet of the lifting column.
1 - Emergency button
These buttons must be activated in the event of danger and emergency, for example, failed interruption of radiation
from the source, in situations of evident danger to persons or when an emergency is signalled.
If the emergency button is pressed, radiation emission is immediately interrupted and all the movements of the
patient support and the rotary arm are stopped, all the linear motors run a distance of less than 10 mm and the rotary
movements a distance of less than 2 degrees, and the button remains locked in safe conditions.
After the emergency, turn the button in the direction indicated by the arrow to resume normal operation.
1.8.5. CONDENSATE FORMATION
Following strong temperature oscillations, condensate may form in the X-ray device. Activate the X-ray device only
after an adequate ambient temperature has been reached. See the chapter “Ambient characteristics”.
1.8.6. ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
Electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Electrostatic discharge from persons may cause damage to the electronic components in the event of contact.
Generally, damaged components must be replaced. The repair must be carried out by qualified technicians.
Do not touch the parts at risk marked with the symbol
.
1.8.7. EXPOSURE TO LASER RADIATION
The system contains some Class 1 laser diodes in compliance with IEC 60825-1:2014. Three of them are positioned
on the X-ray generator and one on the chin support base.
Both the patient and the operator may be dazzled by laser traces.
-
Do not look directly into the laser beam. Be careful that the laser beam does not hit the patient’s eye.
-
Keep a distance of at least 10 cm between the eye and the laser.
The position of the laser sources is indicated with the following symbol
