
This X-ray unit may be dangerous to patient and operator unless safe exposure
factors and operating instructions are observed. Safety equipment used with this
device should be fully tested and certified.
 This X-ray unit must only be operated by trained personnel in a controlled setting.
 Within such a setting, ensure that only the patient is in the direct beam of the x-ray,
and that any ancillary personnel are a minimum of 3 meters (approximately 9 feet)
away from the patient. If it is necessary for any ancillary personnel to be closer than
3 meters, these personnel should stay out of the direct beam and wear personal
protective equipment (PPE), such as an apron (with 0.5mm lead equivalent) and
thyroid collar.

However, any structural enclosures (e.g., barriers or walls) in the controlled setting
will reduce the zone requiring PPE use. Safety equipment used with this device
should be fully tested and certified.
 Operators should always wear PPE while using the iRayA6s in order to be shielded
from backscatter radiation. Both an apron (with 0.5mm lead equivalent) and thyroid
collar are recommended. For those operators who take over 5000 exposures a year,
radiation protective eyewear is also recommended. Safety equipment used with this
device should be fully tested and certified.
