lead shields or aprons, especially for pediatric patients.

protection are allowed to stay in the room during an exposure. In
exceptional cases, a third person may provide assistance, but not the
practice staff. Visual contact with the patient and the unit must be
maintained throughout the entire exposure.
In case of malfunctions, cancel the exposure immediately by letting go of
the exposure release button.

included in the scope of supply)!
