5 Safety precautions
WARNING
The following safety precautions must be observed in order to avoid the risk
of personal injury or damage to the X-ray unit.
CAUTION
FOR US USERS:
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a health care
professional.
CAUTION
This X-ray unit may be dangerous to both patient and operator unless safe
exposure values are used and correct operating procedures are observed.
CAUTION
It is very important that the place where the X-ray unit is to be used and
the position from which the user is to operate the X-ray unit are correctly
shielded.
Since radiation safety requirements vary from country to country and state
to state it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that all local safety
requirements are met.
CAUTION
The patient positioning lights are laser lights. Do not stare into the laser
beam.
CAUTION
If an exposure is interrupted (e.g. exposure button is released or emergency
stop button activated), the patient must be guided away from the X-ray unit
before the C-arm is moved.
CAUTION
Do not connect items which are not specified as part of the system.
CAUTION
Do not touch an electrical connector and the patient at the same time.
CAUTION
If the X-ray unit shows any signs of oil leakage, switch the X-ray unit off and
contact your service technician for help.

of flammable anesthetics.
