Dangerous areas

During movement of the X-ray system, dangerous areas can be identified in
the surrounding space. It is necessary to pay special attention to such areas, in
order to prevent collisions or crushing.
Before switching on the equipment, check for:
• dangerous areas on the system, where there are potential risks of collision
or crushing
• dangerous areas on the system where the patient or operator could get
injured
• dangerous movements that might damage the equipment
Collisions may occur between the moving system and objects in the room
positioned within the movement range of the system, such as: stretchers,
chairs, mobile tables with instruments aboard, baskets, stands, pedals,
suspended devices, etc.
Crushing may occur between the moving system and the operator, the patient
or other persons within the movement range of the system.

WARNING:
Collision with objects within the movement area of the system.
Do not activate automatic movement if extraneous objects are in
the allowed movement area of the system.
WARNING:
Before activating any movement of the system, verify that no
one but the patient is present within the machine moving area
and that the patient is properly positioned and secured on the
tabletop. While controlling the position of the system, do not
remain standing close to the machine. While controlling the
position of the system, do not assume a working position seated
directly on the equipment. Be particularly wary of the risk of
crushing feet when the radiographic table tilts.
WARNING:
When the equipment is moving or the patient is being
positioned, personnel and patient may only grasp the grips that
have been provided specifically for this purpose.
WARNING:
The operator must keep hands, feet, clothing, jewelry and hair
away from moving parts to avoid that they get tangled in the
moving mechanisms.
