Safety
Attenuation equivalent 0
According to IEC 60601-1-3, inadequate attenuation of the X-ray beam by mate-
rials between the patient and image receptor (here: I.I.) must be avoided.
Documented proof by the manufacturer is recommended.
Remove any auxiliary devices located in the beam path for calibration or adjust-
ment of the dedicated options before operating the ARCADIS Varic.
If materials are placed directly in front of the image intensifier, the image quality
can be impaired and the applied dose will be increased by the automatic adjust-
ment. Additional objects in the beam path may result in increased scattered radi-
ation.
Weight counterbalance 0
Attachment of any additional loads on the image intensifier or the tube assembly
side compromises the counterbalance and can lead to unintentional C-arm move-
ment.
Users must be alerted to this by a warning label. The responsibility for affixing the
corresponding warning label lies with the company that attaches the dedicated
option to the C-arm.
