General Precautions - Standard Imaging EXRADIN M2 User Manual

General Precautions

Warnings and Cautions alert users to dangerous conditions that can occur if instructions in
the manual are not obeyed. Warnings are conditions that can cause injury to the operator,
while Cautions can cause damage to the equipment.
WARNING: Electrical shock hazard when connected to
300 V bias supply.
WARNING: Exradin Ion Chambers are intended for quality assurance and calibration
measurements. They are not intended to be connected to a patient for real-time
dosimetry measurements.
CAUTION: Proper use of this device depends on careful reading of all instructions
and labels.
CAUTION: Do not drop, mishandle, or disassemble unit since it may result in a
change of calibration factor, or damage to thin-walled Thimble tip. Refer all servicing
to qualified individuals.
CAUTION: Do not sharply bend triax cable. Damage to the cable may result in high
leakage currents.
CAUTION: Connector end of ionization chamber should not be submerged.
CAUTION: For best performance, and when practical, use ion chambers as calibrated,
matching the sign of the charge collected and the collecting electrode bias with that
found on the calibration documents. Measurements performed outside of the
calibrated parameters and/or manufacturer recommended specifications should be
independently verified, and used with care
