• Always refer to local, state, and federal guidelines in addition to facility protocols for safety before you use PPrriimmee XX with
radiation generating devices. Radiation generating devices may produce residual, stray, or scattered radiation.
• Always use caution when you take X-rays with the Fowler backrest in the upright position or when you use a lateral
cassette.
PPrriimmee XX provides both an articulating radiographic support surface and a platform below the patient support surface for X-
ray cassette placement. Working with medical X-ray systems, the radiographic support surface allows the capture of clinical
X-rays (AP full body, full body lateral option, and upright chest option) while the patient is on the product. You can insert
cassettes from the head end, foot end, and either side of the product.
To insert an X-ray cassette:
1. Center the patient on the product with the position indicator labels located on all sides of the product (Figure 35).
2. Insert an X-ray cassette below the patient surface. Use the cassette guides to assist in positioning the X-ray cassette.
