exposure can cause serious illness or injury. It is the responsibility of Olympus
customers to follow the operating instructions and safety recommendations in this

1.2 Radiation Safety Program
Olympus strongly recommends that organizations who use Vanta iX XRF analyzers
implement a formal radiation safety program that includes the following:
• Dose monitoring of critical personnel
• Monitoring of area radiation levels
• Information specific to the site and application of the XRF system
• An annual review (and update, if necessary)
1.3 X-Ray Safety

• Olympus analyzers must be used by trained and authorized operators in
accordance with proper safety procedures. Improper usage may circumvent
safety protections and could potentially cause harm to user.
• Pay attention to all warning labels and messages.
