1.4.2 Manufacturer’s
Responsibility
Although this equipment incorporates protection against x-ray radiation other than
the useful beam, practical design cannot provide complete protection. This
equipment does not prevent the possibility of improper use, which results in
authorized or unauthorized persons from carelessly, unwisely, or unknowingly
exposing themselves or others to direct or secondary radiation. Allow only
authorized, properly trained personnel to operate this equipment.
Be certain that all personnel authorized to use the equipment are aware of the
danger of excessive exposure to x-ray radiation.
This equipment is sold with the understanding that the manufacturer, its agents,
and representatives do not accept any responsibility for over-exposure of patients
or personnel to x-ray radiation. Furthermore, the manufacturer does not accept any
responsibility for over-exposure of patients or personnel to x-ray radiation
generated by this equipment which is a result of poor operating techniques or
procedures.
Also, no responsibility will be assumed for any machine that has not been serviced
and maintained in accordance with the system technical manual, or which has been
modified or tampered with in any way.
1.4.3 Radiation
Protection
WARNING
X-Rays are dangerous to both operator and others in the vicinity unless
established safe exposure procedures are strictly observed.
The useful and scattered beams can produce serious, genetic or potentially
fatal bodily injuries to any persons in the surrounding area if used by an
unskilled operator. Adequate precautions must always be taken to avoid
exposure to the useful beam, as well as to leakage radiation from within the
source housing or to scattered radiation resulting from the passage of
radiation through matter.
