accompanying documentation, user interface and image data. Use of corrective measures such
as glasses or contact lenses is permissible. In addition, the user should be able to discern visual
indications such as LEDs that light up while X-rays are being emitted, system on/off or when the
system has a fault.
Audio impairment is permissible as long as the operator can discern audio indications emitted by
the scanner or other associated equipment, such as the audible alarms that sounds while X-rays
are being emitted, or, in the case of deafness, as long as such audio indications are
supplemented by corresponding visual indications. Use of corrective measures such as hearing
aids is permitted.
General physical impairments involving the arms, legs and/or motor skills are permissible as long
as the operator can perform all of the tasks required for proper operation of the scanner as
described in the accompanying documentation.
Service
The expected service life of the scanner is five years. Incorrect operation or failure to maintain the
scanner in accordance with the maintenance schedule relieves the manufacturer or his agent
from all the responsibilities for subsequent non-compliance, damage, injury, defect and/or other
malfunction. It is strongly recommended that only authorized Service Representatives maintain
and service the scanner. Circuit diagrams, parts lists, and other information are available on
request for parts that are designated as repairable by service personnel.
Installation of the scanner must be performed by authorized Service Representatives following
instructions provided in the Installation Manual shipped with the scanner. It is the responsibility of
the owner to ensure that existing legal regulations regarding installation of the scanner with
respect to the building are observed.
Modifications and additions to the scanner (including replacement of power cords and exposure
switches) must be carried out only by personnel or third parties that are expressly authorized by
Imaging Sciences International (ISI), and must comply with the applicable legal requirements as
well as with the generally accepted technical regulations.
