DR 800 | Safety Directions | 91
WARNING:
The DR Detector is not intended to be used as a primary barrier
to X-rays. The user is responsible for ensuring the safety of the
operator, bystanders, and the subjects being radiographed.
WARNING:
X-ray radiation will extend beyond the primary protective
shielding when rotating the X-ray tube away from the
radiographic table or when manually adjusting the collimator
up to its mechanical limits and making free exposures.
WARNING:
Operating the equipment when it is faulty includes the risk of
radiological exposure and injury to the patient and to the
operator. Operate the equipment only in safe and fault-free
conditions.
WARNING:
The accessories for the radiographic table may slide off the
radiographic table if they are not properly mounted, causing
injury or damage to the equipment. Always tightly fasten the
accessories on the tabletop guides.
WARNING:
Do not subject the unit to dangerous stresses, eg. violently
stopping the moving parts at the end of the movement range,
twisting the electrical cables excessively or forcing movements
without having released the brakes.
WARNING:
The table can tilt in negative position (head down). This can
create a hazardous situation where the patient can slip from the
table. Always verify the automatic position before activating the
automatic movement and observe the patient during
movements.
WARNING:
Check upfront, before starting the digital subtraction
angiography or roadmapping procedure, that the setting of the
maximum mAs is appropriate for the targeted body part of that
specific patient.
WARNING:
System unavailability due to hardware or software failure. If the
product is used in critical clinical workflows, a backup system
has to be foreseen.
WARNING:
All the necessary precautions must be taken to prevent
unauthorized or unskilled personnel from operating this
equipment, thus jeopardizing themselves and other people.
