PROTECTION AGAINST RADIATIONS
“The general principles regarding safety and protection of workers and people” must always be applied when using
the unit:
1. Justification of the practice
2. Protection Optimization
3. Reduction of the limits of individual dose and risks
The system is a medical device that generates X-rays; therefore, both the patients and the operator are exposed to
risks due to ionizing radiation. The physician must assess the actual need for X-ray exposure.
All personnel present during an X-ray examination must comply with safety regulations concerning protection against
radiation. For their own safety, the operator must always keep a distance of more than 2 meters (6 ft.) and out of the
path of the X-ray beam, in order to avoid the exposition to the stray radiation and residual radiation.
The medical device must be used in compliance with the local standards in force and with the international directives
concerning radiation protection.
The device must comply with the guidelines and indications provided by an accredited specialist in radiation protection,
who will recommend, if necessary, the additional shields or precautions for every specific case.
The device installation site must be shielded in compliance with the local standards in force to protect the operator,
patient and other people against X-rays.
The operator and other personnel must keep clear from the patient during the scan.
The personnel involved in the radiographic examination must take all the safety measures concerning radiation
protection.
The system generates X-rays: before using this X-ray system please refer to the regulation in force in your area
concerning pediatric patients, pregnant women and anyone with health issues that contraindicate the use of X-rays.
Investigate and make sure of this condition before starting
the exposure.
This symbol indicates X-ray hazard.
