Personal safety

Open heart and skull examinations

If an approved system is used alone or with other equipment for open heart or
open skull examinations, a conductive connection must be made between the
system and a potential equalization point, e.g. the tabletop
( Register 3: System Description, Page 10).
Only then can the patient be connected to the system.

Crushing hazards on the C-arm system

Correct handling of the C-arm system requires that operating personnel and
patients use only the grips provided for this purpose. Where this is not possible,
monitor the points of potential crush injury between movable system parts and
their guide openings.
Warning
Moving and braking the C-arm (see Fig. 1 and 3).
Risk of crushing hands!
Please make sure that your hands are not in the travel path of system parts.
Warning
Maximum lowering of the C-arm (see Fig. 2).
Risk of crushing feet!
Please watch your feet when the C-arm is being lowered fully, since there
may not be sufficient clearance left between the I.I. and the floor.
