Safety and Maintenance
WARNING!
Caution Electrocution hazard!
Prior to cleaning or disinfection, switch of the X-ray generator. As a result, the
radiographic system will be disconnected from power and the danger of
electric shock is eliminated.
5.1
Introduction
In this chapter, you will find details regarding safety and maintenance, which is required to ensure the
correct and reliable function of the radiographic system following initial installation.
5.2
Cleaning and disinfection
NOTE
Caution
Changes to material are possible!
Pay attention that, during cleaning and/ or disinfection, no fluids find their way into the main housing
of the X-ray system table. This reduces the risk of short circuits and corrosion.
NOTE
At a radiographic system with RAPIXX implementation please see the attached
RAPIXX manual, chapter 8.2 for detailed information for cleaning and disinfections.
5.2.1
Cleaning
The use of corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents as well as solvents is not allowed. These materials can
cause damage to the outer surface of the radiographic system PRS 500 X or to the coating of the
individual components.
Clean the outer surfaces of the unit and all painted components using a damp towel and a mild – light
alkaline cleaning agent (e.g. RBS* Neutral T). Dry the components off following cleaning.
Chrome components should be cleaned by being wiped down with a dry woolen cloth
5.2.2
Disinfection
Disinfection must be performed in accordance with the applicable legal requirements and guidelines
corresponding to disinfection and explosion protection.
For reasons related to safety, the use of spray disinfection is not allowed. The mist from such
disinfection dispenser systems can find its way into the unit, resulting in short circuiting and/ or
corrosive build up.
All components within the radiographic system PRS 500 X, including unit accessories, should undergo a
wipe down disinfection using appropriate surface disinfection agents (e.g. Melsept* SF, 15 min. reaction
time with a concentration of 2%). The information provided by the disinfectant manufacturer in regard
to concentration and reaction time must be closely followed.
No disinfection agent, which is classified as flammable, can be utilized.
Should explosive gas and / or vapors be created through the use of the chosen disinfection agents, the
unit can only be switched on when the gas/vapors have 100% dispersed.
