The following warning statements should be obeyed with the utmost care. Failure to
follow these warnings may cause severe damage to the equipment or physical injuries
to the patient and the operator.

operator if proper exposure safety measures and
operating instructions are not observed.

It is essential to read this User Manual carefully and

The 3D image should not be used for screening
examinations. Each exam must be justified by
demonstrating that the benefits outweigh the risk.

vatech A9 (Model name: PHT-30CSS) system, like
other medical equipment, uses high-frequency electrical

Defibrillators (ICDs). If the patient has such an
implantable device, you should be aware of any
interference in its operation and immediately power off
the Dental X-ray system.

designed to withstand the effects of defibrillation.

system during defibrillation since a malfunction of the
safety controls could otherwise result in electrical burns
for the patient.
Federal law restricts this equipment to sale by or on the
order of a dentist or with the descriptive designation of any
other practitioner licensed by the law of the State in which he
practices using or order the use of the equipment.
