In this manual, REGIUS cassettes are referred to as "cassettes"and REGIUS
plates as "plates".
WARNING The surface of the plate incorporates a photo-stimulated fluores-
cent coating which is potentially harmful if ingested. In the event
of leakage of the fluorescent coating (milky white) due to sub-
stantial damage to the protective layer on the plate, the following
measures should be taken.
• • • •
If the coating is swallowed, a doctor should be consulted immediately.
• • • •
If the eyes are exposed to the coating, the eyes should be rinsed with clean
water and a doctor consulted immediately.
• • • •
If the coating comes into contact with the skin, the affected area should be
immediately rinsed with clean water.
• • • •
Even if the coating has not been ingested, care must be taken to ensure that
no part of the body is contaminated and the plate disposed of following pre-
scribed procedures.
When disposing the REGIUS Plate, accept the regulations of
each local government.

Constant care must be taken to ensure that the reading surface of the plate is
not damaged or soiled.
