Do not place DenOptix QST near:
• X-ray equipment that is constantly energized (e.g., devices such as
fluoroscopes which are energized when not in use)
• Magnetic resonance imaging systems
• Large motor/electric generators
There is potential for electromagnetic inter
fer
ence between devices when using
electronic equipment. International standards exist to minimize this potential.
DenOptix QST has been tested against and compl
ies with the international
standard EN 60601-1-2, Medical Electrical Equipment - General Requirements for
Safety - Collateral Standard; Electromagnetic Compatibility Requirements and
Tests, class A.
Use only grounded electrical connections.
Connect the DenOptix QST scanner to a grounded electrical outlet between 100-240

The DenOptix QST scanner is a Class 1 laser device.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. A fail-safe switch in
the carousel well and cover keeps the laser inactive as long as the cover is open.
Only a trained technician from a qualified Gendex dealer should remove the
cover from the scanner. Direct eye contact with the output beam from the laser
may cause serious damage and possible blindness.
