Safety Hazards
MAN-04858 Revision 006

Tipping Hazard
Placing too much weight on
the C-arm CMOS detector may
cause the system to tip over.
The amount of weight that can
be supported by the CMOS
detector is highly variable,
depending on the position of
the flex-arm, C-arm, and other
factors. This hazard is greatest
when the flex-arm is extended
and moved to the far left or
right of the system.
If weight is to be applied to the
C-arm CMOS detector, caution
must be used to prevent the
device from becoming
unstable.
Do not place the full
weight of the lower
extremity directly on the
CMOS detector.
Imaging Function
Loss
Detector damage from
surgical tools (i.e., drills
coming into contact with
the detector surface)
Do not use the C-arm
CMOS detector as a
working surface.
Unauthorized
Modifications to
X
-
ray Tube
Never remove the
housing around the
X
-
ray tube or make any
changes to the X
-
ray
tube.
When the product leaves the
manufacturing plant and at the
time of installation, the X-ray
source and assembly meet the
requirements of 21 CFR
1020.30-32. Any unapproved
change to the system could
cause death, injury or
expensive damage to the
equipment, and could void the
service agreement.
Do not make any changes to
the X-ray tube. Contact a
Hologic Representative to
replace the X-ray tube.
