CAUTION
Failure to follow instructions below may result in minor or moderate bodily injury or
damage to the device.
•
To attain optimal image quality, instruct patients to close their eyes, use shallow
breaths, stay as still as possible, and not swallow during the scan. Explain this
carefully to children.
•
If the optional deadman handswitch is installed on the scanner, press and hold
handswitch before pressing the
Scan
button, and continue to hold handswitch down
for the duration of the exposure (
X-ray
light on). Early release of the handswitch
stops the exposure and the
Fault
light turns on. The patient will have to be re-
scanned.
•
If the scanner or the scanner controller is powered off, at scanner power up or
scanner controller boot up, when the first scan is initiated (scout or full scan), the
system performs a reset procedure that may delay the start of first scan.
Safety Devices
Warning System
The scanner is equipped with provisions for warning lights and/or audible alarms when X-ray
power is energized.
Interlock System
The scanner is equipped with provisions for an interlock circuit which, when opened, will turn
off X-ray power. Use of the interlock circuit is optional based on site requirements.
The interlock circuit can be used for a door switch, a deadman handswitch, or both. If a door
switch is installed on the room door where the scanner is located, the exposure will stop if the
door is opened. If a deadman handswitch is installed, the handswitch must be pressed and
held through the duration of the scan. Early release will stop the exposure.
Emergency Stops
In the event of an emergency, the operator and/or patient should use the
Emergency Stop
buttons to turn off the power to all moving parts in order for the patient to be safely removed
from the scanner. Emergency Stop buttons are located on the operator control box and the
Patient Emergency Stop control. An emergency could arise if any moving component collides
