5 Safety and Maintenance
WARNING!
Caution, risk of electric shock!
Switch off the X-ray system before cleaning or disinfecting. This disconnects
the X-ray system from the power source and avoids the risk of electric shock.
5.1 Introduction
In this chapter you will find information about safety and maintenance that are necessary to ensure the
correct and reliable function of the device after installation.
5.2 Reusability
The PRS 500 E can be reused without any special preparation procedures.
However, it must be ensured that the surfaces in contact with patients are disinfected before the X-ray
examination of each patient (see also chapter 4.1).
The PRS 500 E must no longer be used with patients if it shows signs of wear (e.g. metal abrasion, wear
of insulations) or dangerous technical defects (e.g. torn cable, bent parts) or if the resulting image
quality (e.g. artifacts in the image) is insufficient.
In this case, please contact PROTEC service department or a service company authorized by them
immediately.
5.3 Cleaning and disinfection
NOTE
Caution!
Possible material changes!
WARNING!
Make sure that no liquid enters the interior of the housing during cleaning
and disinfection in order to prevent electrical short circuits and/or corrosion.
NOTE
For X-ray systems with included RAPIXX set, detailed information on cleaning and
disinfecting the RAPIXX set can be found in the enclosed RAPIXX instructions for
use, chapter 5.3.
5.3.1 Cleaning
The cleaning of the PRS 500 E is very easy due to the very good quality surface coating. This is usually
only done with a dry cloth.
Do not use corrosive, dissolving or abrasive cleaning agents, which could damage the device surfaces
or the coating.
Clean the device surfaces and painted parts with a damp cloth and a mild to slightly alkaline cleaning
solution (e.g. RBS® Neutral T) and wipe dry.
Chrome parts may only be wiped with a dry woollen cloth.
5.3.2 Disinfection
The disinfection must be performed in accordance with the current applicable legal requirements and
guidelines corresponding for disinfection and explosion protection.
