It is important that everyone having anything to do with x-radiation be properly
trained and fully acquainted with the recommendations of the National Council on
Radiation Protection and Measurements as published in NCRP Reports available
from NCRP Publications, 7910 Woodmont Avenue, Room 1016, Bethesda, Mary-
land 20814, and of the International Commission on Radiation Protection, and
take adequate steps to protect against injury.
The equipment is sold with the understanding that the General Electric Company,
Medical Systems Group, its agents, and representatives have no responsibility for
injury or damage which may result from improper use of the equipment.
Various protective material and devices are available. It is urged that such materi-
als or devices be used.
3-1Certified Electrical Contractor Statement
All electrical installations that are preliminary to positioning of the equipment at the
site prepared for the equipment shall be performed by licensed electrical contrac-
tors. In addition, electrical feeds into the Power Distribution Unit shall be per-
formed by licensed electrical contractors. Other connections between pieces of
electrical equipment, calibrations, and testing shall be performed by qualified GE
Medical personnel. The products involved (and the accompanying electrical
installations) are highly sophisticated, and special engineering competence is
required. In performing all electrical work on these products, GE will use its own
specially trained field engineers. All of GE’s electrical work on these products will
comply with the requirements of the applicable electrical codes.
The purchaser of GE equipment shall only utilize qualified personnel (i.e., GE’s
field engineers, personnel of third-party service companies with equivalent train-
ing, or licensed electricians) to perform electrical servicing on the equipment.
3-2Damage In Transportation
All packages should be closely examined at time of delivery
. If damage is appar-
ent, have notation “damage in shipment” written on all copies of the freight or
express bill before delivery is accepted or “signed for” by a General Electric repre-
sentative or a hospital receiving agent. Whether noted or concealed, damage
MUST be reported to the carrier immediately upon discovery, or in any event,
within 14 days after receipt, and the contents and containers held for inspection
by the carrier. A transportation company will not pay a claim for damage if an
inspection is not requested within this 14 day period.
United States Federal law restricts this device to use by or on the
order of a physician.
