light cross-hairs beam.
NOTE:
40 cm (16 Inch) systems limitation:
For systems equipped with 40 cm (16
inch) Image Intensifiers, the minimum, allowable SID is 48 inches (120 cm)
when the table is angulated.
5.

AVOID EQUIPMENT DAMAGE!
Damage to the 40 cm (16 inch) Image Intensifier will occur if the RAD
Suspension is moved closer than a 48 inch (120 cm) SID when the
table is angulated vertical or Trendelenburg. Avoid a collision
between the RAD Suspension columns and the 40 cm (16 inch) Image
Intensifier by maintaining a minimum SID of 48 inches (120 cm) for all
table bucky procedures when the table is angulated.
To avoid Patient injury, patient must be strapped in before angulating
table vertically or Trendelenburg.
