◆ Do not stand at any place on the spotfilm device or on the covers of the table
support outside the marked areas provided for this.
– The covers can be deformed.
Components located underneath them are damaged and thus lead to oper-
ating disturbances.
◆ Place no objects on the operating areas of the control consoles and the table-
side control.
◆ In vertical table positions do not use the stand column, the tube assembly sup-
port arm, the tube assembly cover or the primary collimator as seat or support.

ings.
◆ Never put contrast medium cups or open containers with liquid or pasty con-
tents on the unit, on the remote console or on the control cabinets.

operational disturbances of the unit or to misinterpretation of exposures.
◆ When storing contrast medium in the cup holder on the compression carriage,
use only cups with a maximum volume of 0.25 liter made of unbreakable ma-
terials, i.e. under no circumstances glass or porcelain.
– Remove contrast medium traces immediately!
