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.
