The movements of the unit must not be obstructed by
physical constitution nor clothing, dressings, wheel-
chairs or hospital beds!
Do not leave the patient unattended in the unit.
Medical electrical devices are subject to special precau-
tionary measures regarding EMC. They must be
installed and operated as specified in the document
"Installation Requirements".
Information on avoiding, recognizing and eliminating
unintended electromagnetic effects: The ORTHOPHOS
Plus acquisition unit is a Class B device (classified
according to CISPR 11, EN 60601-1-2: 2001 based on
IEC 60601-1-2). This system may be operated in a resi-
dential area.
Portable and mobile HF communication devices can
influence medical electrical equipment. The use of
mobile telephones in the practice or hospital area there-
fore must be prohibited.
Following extreme temperature fluctuations, condensa-
tion may occur; therefore please do not switch on the
system until it has reached normal room temperature
(see chapter "Technical Description").
No patient may be positioned in the unit during power-
on.
In case of an error that requires switching off and subse-
quent switching on of the unit, the patient must be
removed from the unit before switching it on again at the
latest!
If parts of the unit contact the patient during the rotational
movement , let go of the exposure release button (X-
Ray) immediately and stop the unit by actuating the unit
main switch or an Emergency Stop switch!
To prevent the malfunctioning of electronic devices and
data storage devices, e.g. radio-controlled watches,
telephone cards, etc., these objects must be removed
prior to X-raying.
The valid radiation protection regulations must be
observed.
The operator should move as far away from the X-ray
tube assembly as allowed by the coiled cable of the
exposure release button.
The statutory radiation protection equipment must be
used.
With the exception of the patient, no other persons
without radiation protection are allowed to stay in the
room. In exceptional cases, a third person may provide
assistance, but not the practice staff. During the whole
exposure, visual contact with the patient and the unit
must be maintained.
