IMPORTANT!...X-RAY PROTECTION
X-ray equipment if not properly used may cause injury. Accordingly, the
instructions herein contained should be thoroughly read and understood by
everyone who will use the equipment before you attempt to place this equipment
in operation. The General Electric Company, Medical Systems Group, will be glad
to assist and cooperate in placing this equipment in use.
Although this apparatus incorporates a high degree of protection against x-radiation
other than the useful beam, no practical design of equipment can provide complete
protection. Nor can any practical design compel the operator to take adequate
precautions to prevent the possibility of any persons carelessly exposing themselves or
others to radiation.
It is important that everyone having anything to do with x-radiation be properly trained
and fully acquainted with the recommendations of the National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements as published in NCRP Reports available from NCRP
Publications, 7910 Woodmont Avenue, Room 1016, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, and of
the International Commission on Radiation Protection, and take adequate steps to
protect against injury.
The equipment is sold with the understanding that the General Electric Medical Systems,
its agents, and representatives have no responsibility for injury or damage which may
result from improper use of the equipment.
Various protective material and devices are available. It is urged that such materials or
devices be used.
United States Federal law restricts this device to be used by or on the order of a
physician.
