Mechanical Hazards
WARNING
Do not operate the system with any covers open or removed.
Operating the system with open or removed covers could expose
mechanical operating systems that could cause serious or fatal
personal injury to you or the Patient. Only qualified and authorized
service personnel should remove covers from the system.
Laser Beam Hazards
WARNING
Laser beams can cause optical damage. Do not stare into the laser
beam. Instruct the Patient to avoid looking into the beam. The use of
optical instruments such as eyeglasses with large diopter or mirrors,
increase eye hazard with this product.
Radiation Safety
X-rays are dangerous to both operator and others in the vicinity
unless established safe exposure procedures are strictly observed.
Use the following safety measures to ensure safety to the Patient and
Operator.
The useful and scattered beams can produce serious or fatal bodily
injuries to Patients and persons in the surrounding area if used by an
unskilled operator. Adequate precautions must always be taken to
avoid or reduce exposure to the useful beam or to scattered radiation.
Operators are strongly urged to comply with the current
recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological
Protection and, in the United States, the US National Council for
Radiological Protection.
