Safety Precautions for examination and diagnosis Precautions for examination and diagnosis 2.4.1 Image orientation Operators should ensure that the image orientation on the monitor or film is correct. When "free flat panel" is selected on the acquisition system, operators should confirm the image orientation.
Safety Personal safety Personal safety 2.5.1 System motion safety Assemblies of the digital medical X-ray imaging system move at a certain speed. There- fore, exercise caution when operating such assemblies. When system components crush or collide with personnel during system motion, mechan- ical damage or personnel injuries may be incurred.
Safety Personal safety WARNING Hazard of crushing Patients should place their hands and feet on the table top when lying on the mobile radiographic table, to prevent crushing. Ensure that components move at a low speed carefully when they are close to poten- tially dangerous crushing and collision areas, to prevent crushing.
Safety Personal safety 2.5.3 Patient positioning safety The maximum allowable patient load of mobile radiographic table is 150 kg. MAX.LOAD 150KG It is important to evenly distribute patient weight on the top of the mobile radiographic table. Otherwise, there will be risks of material deformation and personnel injury. ...
Safety Personal safety When the X-ray tube - collimator assembly is rotated around the horizontal axis, ensure that no patient get stuck between the column of the X-ray tube - collimator assembly and the table top. A patient may be caught between the detector carrier and the ground. Ensure that no patient is stuck between the detector carrier and the ground when the detector carrier is moved downwards.
Safety Personal safety Keep the examination time as short as possible to reduce the total radiation dose. Put the ROI close to the wireless digital flat panel detector, to reduce radiation and optimize the image quality. Do not place any object on the exposure path between a patient and the wireless dig- ital flat panel detector.
Safety Personal safety Conductive liquid entering the running operator console circuits will result in short circuits and cause the equipment to be on fire. Therefore, do not place any liquid or food on the console or other components. If the system cannot be shut down for a special reason or the power supply cannot be cut off due to other needs, operators must select a non-conductive extinguishing agent to quench fire while the power is on, for example: ...
