6.2 User / patient warnings
•
The unit may be dangerous to the user and the
patient, if the safety regulations in this manual
are ignored, if the unit is not used in the way
described in this manual and/or if the user does
not know how to use the unit.
•
Because the x-ray limitations and safety regula-
tions change from time to time, it is the respon-
sibility of the user to make sure that all the valid
safety regulations are fulfi lled.
•
It is the responsibility of the user to decide if the
x-ray exposure is necessary.
•
Always use the lowest suitable x-ray dose to
obtain the desired level of image quality.
•
Always use suitable hygienic barriers on parts of
the unit that the patient has contact with.
•
Avoid taking x-ray exposures of pregnant wom-
en.
•
If the patient is using a pacemaker, consult the
manufacturer of the pacemaker to confi rm that
the x-ray unit will not interfere with the operation
of the pacemaker before taking an exposure.
•
The user of the unit must stand at least two
meters away from the unit AND protect him/her-
self from radiation when taking exposures. It is
recommended that a moveable radiation protec-
tion screen is used to protect the user.
•
The user must be able to see and hear the pa-
tient during an exposure.
•
The user must see the exposure warning light
and/or hear the audio exposure warning signal

such a place where the exposure warning light
cannot be seen, a separate exposure warning
light should be used. Please contact your local
service for help.
