Regular inspections
Inspections must be performed at scheduled intervals to protect the
health and safety of patients, users and other persons.
Before and during operation
The system owner or an appointed person must ensure that:
● there are no changes to the additional second protective ground
conductor connection of the PC
● the PC used is outside the patient environment (up to 1.5 m around
the patient) if it is installed without a second protective ground
conductor
● the USB hub is outside the patient environment if the USB interface
is not connected directly to the PC
● all components, such as cables, sensors and housing parts, are in
sound condition
Monthly
Once a month the system owner or an appointed person must:
● check the sensor cable thoroughly for wear and tear
● make sure the connector housing is fastened securely at the sensor
cable
Annually
The image quality must be assessed by the system owner or an
appointed person at regular intervals, at least once a year.
On digital sensors, the degree of postprocessing (brightness or contrast
adjustment) that is required in the image processing software (e.g.,
Sidexis 4) to produce satisfactory results is used as an assessment
criterion.
If these assessment criteria are regarded as given irrespective of the
patient’s anatomy and/or possible sources of error such as patient
positioning, a service engineer should be called in immediately to rectify
any possible system faults.
CAUTION
Should you identify faulty components on your Xios AE product,
please inform your appointed service engineer. In this case, the
device should no longer be used for patient exposures.
Observe any additional country-specific requirements.
Please also check the all labels on the underside of the USB Interface
are undamaged and legible.
CAUTION
The USB interface must not be opened or repaired by the user.
All parts of the device are maintenance-free. In case of
malfunctioning, please always contact your specialized dealer.
