CAUTION
Do not use the X-ray unit in an oxygen rich environment or in the presence
of flammable anaesthetics.
CAUTION
Never use a defective or damaged X-ray system. Contact your service
technician for help.
CAUTION
Do not modify the X-ray unit. The X-ray unit must be serviced by qualified
personnel only.
CAUTION
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as
antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30
cm (12 inches) to any part of the X-ray unit, including cables specified by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment
could result.
NOTE
Cone beam imaging should not be used for routine (or screening)
examinations. The imaging examinations must be justified for each patient to
demonstrate that the benefits outweigh the risks.
NOTE
When it is likely that evaluation of soft tissues will be required as part of the
patient’s radiological assessment, conventional CT or MR medical imaging
should be used rather than CBCT.
NOTE
Before taking an exposure, ask any female patient of childbearing age
whether she might be pregnant. The X- ray unit is not intended for use on
pregnant women.
NOTE
FOR CANADIAN USERS:
All patients must be provided with a shielded apron for gonad protection
and a thyroid shield. The use of a thyroid shield is especially important
in children. The shielded apron and thyroid shield should have a lead
equivalence of at least 0.25 mm on both sides (front and back of the patient).
NOTE
If the X-ray unit has been stored at temperatures under +10°C for more than
a few hours, time must be allowed for the unit to reach room temperature
before turning it on.
NOTE
Ensure efficient air conditioning in the X-ray room. It is recommended to
keep the room temperature b20°C and +25°C at all times.
NOTE
If exposures are taken in rapid succession, the X-ray tube may overheat and
a cooling time will flash on the touch screen. The cooling time indicates the
delay before the next exposure can be taken.
