WARNINGS:
(cont.)
The potential of exposure to harmful x-rays exists when this table is in use. The
use of adequate x-ray barrier devices is necessary to provide protection to both
the operator and the patient. X-ray barrier devices are recommended for the patient
outside of the intended target area to prevent exposure to scattered radiation from
the x-ray generating source.
The tabletop has a typical aluminum filtration equivalence of .62 mm as measured
at 100 kVp and a half-value layer (HVL) of 2.7 mm. (1.10 mm as measured at 100
kVp and a half value (HVL) of 3.6 mm)
•
The
O
AKWORKS
Fluoroscopy Table may be used for x-ray imaging
where the x-ray generator is located below the tabletop and the
image receptor is located above the tabletop. This is the recommended
method. This table may also be used for x-ray imaging where the x-ray
generator is located above the tabletop and the image receptor is located
below the tabletoop. This application will result in greater patient
exposure to x-rays. The operator must weigh this issue with the imaging
requirements and patient exposure issues.
• The Fluoroscopy Table may be used with the x-ray generator above
the tabletop and a film cassette located on the tabletop.
• The x-ray generator should never be located above the tabletop
when the O
AKWORKS
Fluoroscopy Table and the O
AKWORKS
Spine
Positioning
System/Prone Pillow are used together. This type of use
requires
that the x-ray generator is located below the tabletop and the
imaging
intensifier or film cassette located above the tabletop.
Disconnect the power supply plug prior to cleaning any surfaces below or inside
of the base of the table.
Electrical Shock Hazard. (CFPM100 & 400 only) The power supply/control mod-
ule is located inside lifting column and under the top. No user serviceable parts are
inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel. Unplug wall connector prior to con-
tact with any cables connected to the power supply.
Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs
to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in
the Accompanying Documents. (CFPM100 & 400 only)
Portable and Mobile RF Communications Equipment can affect Medical Electrical
Equipment. (CFPM100 & 400 only)
The CFPM100 & 400 (only) should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment due to the risk of electronic interference. If adjacent or stacked use is
necessary, the table should be observed to verify normal
operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
