Collision System
The Gantry motor is programmed to operate at a rotational force of
< = 15 lbf (66.7N). Interference or incidental contact with the Gantry
during rotation, which results in an interruption in Gantry motion,
will be detected and trigger a system stall event. This will result in a
system fault condition which will cause the following system events
to occur:
• Stepper Motor power is removed
• X-Ray operations cease
• System Fault Light illuminates
• X-Ray Audio and Visual indicators de-energize
Operator intervention is required to recover the system for normal
use.
Laser Beam Hazards
Laser beams can cause optical damage. Instruct the Patient to close
eyes to avoid looking into the beam. The use of optical instruments
such as eyeglasses with large diopter or mirrors, increase eye hazard
with this product.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
The System Gantry has laser markers to assist you in planning scan
procedures. If you are using the laser markers while a patient is in
the chair, warn the patient that the laser beam could be harmful.
Advise the patient that laser beams can cause optical damage.
Instruct the patient not to stare at the laser beam and to avoid looking
into the beam.
