4 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
4 Planmeca ProMax 3D s / 3D
CAUTION FOR US USERS:
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or
on the order of a health care professional.
CAUTION This X-ray unit may be dangerous to both
patient and operator unless safe exposure
values are used and correct operating
procedures are observed.
CAUTION The patient positioning lights are laser
lights. Do not stare into the laser beam.
CAUTION Do not drop the sensor. Planmeca limited
warranty does not cover damage which is
due to misuse, e.g. dropping the sensor,
neglect, or any cause other than ordinary
use.
If you have any reason to believe that the
sensor might be faulty, take a test exposure
before taking a patient exposure.
CAUTION If an exposure is interrupted (e.g. exposure
button is released or emergency stop button
activated), the patient must be guided away
from the X-ray unit before the C-arm is
moved.
CAUTION Do not connect items which are not
specified as part of the system.
CAUTION Do not connect a multiple portable socket
outlet (MPSO) or extension cord to the
system.
CAUTION Do not touch an electrical connector and the
patient at the same time.
CAUTION If the X-ray unit shows any signs of oil
leakage, disconnect the unit from mains and
contact your service technician for help.
CAUTION Do not use the X-ray unit in an oxygen rich
environment or in the presence of flammable
anesthetics.
CAUTION Never use a defective or damaged X-ray
system. Contact your service technician for
help.
NOTE It is very important that the place where the unit is to
be used and the position from which the user is to
operate the unit are correctly shielded. Since radiation
safety requirements vary from country to country and
state to state it is the responsibility of the user to
ensure that all local safety requirements are met.
NOTE Cone beam imaging should not be used for routine (or
screening) examinations. The imaging examinations
must be justified for each patient to demonstrate that
the benefits outweigh the risks.
NOTE When it is likely that evaluation of soft tissues will be
required
assessment, conventional CT or MR medical imaging
should be used rather than CBCT.
