4.1 System operation and limitations that reduce the risk of collision with the patient

• The range of table motion is limited to prevent a collision between the table cradle and the
gantry. The system will maintain a 25 mm clearance between the table cradle and the
gantry.
•
The system design minimizes gaps between moving covers and structures so that fingers
cannot get into the gap.
•
Operator controlled table motion requires continuous activation of gantry controls.
• Emergency stop controls are readily available that stop motion within 10 mm.
