DANGER – RADIATION WARNING
OpenVision™
HD device must be operated only by trained and qualified radiographers who have read and
understand this operating manual or by trained assistants working under their direct supervision.
WARNING
The use of these radiographic devices by unqualified personnel or when safety procedures are not fully
met, could result in life-threatening dangers.
The x-rays produced by these devices emit high levels of highly penetrating radiation during use.
Since radiation cannot be detected by the human senses, strict operating and emergency procedures must be
followed. The proper use of calibrated and operable survey meters must be employed to avoid potentially
dangerous levels of radiation exposure.
Take advantage of the three basic radiation protection methods to minimize radiation exposure:
Time:
Spend less time near the radiation source.
Distance:
Increase your distance in a direction away from the radiation source.
Shielding:
Use effective shielding between you and the radiation source.
Do not perform any unauthorized modifications to the device or components of the system.
It is important that trained and qualified radiographers perform or supervise a daily safety inspection of the
radiography system for obvious defects prior to operation of the system.
Do not use any components that are not approved for use with the radiography system, or after-market
components that may compromise the safety designed into the system.
Consult with local governmental regulations and industry standards for additional requirements pertaining to the
operation of any x-ray equipment.
