Safety Information

Electrical Hazards
Installation and scanner wiring must meet all requirements of local governing authorities. Please
check your local authorities and local codes to determine best practices for a safe installation.
Do not place any liquid or food on any part of the scanner controller or other modules of the
scanner.
Observe all fire regulations. Fire extinguishers should be provided for both electrical and non-
electrical fires. All operators should be fully trained in the use of fire extinguishers and other fire-
fighting equipment and in local fire procedures.
Explosion Hazard
Do not use the scanner in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with nitrous
or oxygen enriched atmospheres, explosive gases or vapors, including anesthetic gases. Use of
this scanner in an environment for which it is not designed can lead to fire or explosion.
If hazardous substances are detected while the scanner is turned on, do not attempt to turn off
the scanner. Evacuate the area and then remove the hazards before turning off the scanner.
Mechanical Hazards
Carefully observe the patient during the scanning procedure to ensure that when the scanner
gantry moves, the patient does not collide with the gantry or other equipment. Ensure that the
patient does not grab or hold any part of the scanner or nearby equipment.
Collision System
The gantry motor is programmed to operate at a rotational force of < = 15 lbf (66.7N).
Interference or incidental contact with the gantry during rotation, which results in an
interruption in gantry motion, will be detected and trigger a scanner stall event. This will result
in a scanner fault condition which will cause the following events to occur:
•
Stepper motor power is removed
•
X-Ray operations cease
•
Scanner Fault Light illuminates
•
X-Ray audio and visual indicators de-energize
