IMPORTANT X-RAY PROTECTION
X-ray equipment if not properly used may cause injury. Accordingly, the instructions herein contained should be
thoroughly read and understood by everyone who will use the equipment before you attempt to place this equipment
in operation. The General Electric Company, Medical Systems Group, will be glad to assist and cooperate in placing
this equipment in use.
Although this apparatus incorporates a high degree of protection against x-radiation other than the useful beam, no
practical design of equipment can provide complete protection. Nor can any practical design compel the operator to
take adequate precautions to prevent the possibility of any persons carelessly exposing themselves or others to
radiation.
It is important that anyone 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

used.
