MaxX
8 ANALYSIS OF RESIDUAL
RISKS
Permanent magnetic systems manufactured by
Tecnomagnete are made paying close attention to the
construction criteria and to the regulations in force
regarding safety: in any case, possible dangerous
conditions can remain. This chapter is intended to warn of
risks that may arise in particular situations.
8.1 Risks related to MaxX lifters
Since MaxX is by its nature intended for installation in
various applications it is necessary that the user has
understood and assimilated both the instructions of this
manual and the instructions contained in the Manual of
the installation on which it is installed/ hooked.
The user must therefore be informed of any residual risks
that may arise during the coupling and release phases,
magnetization and demagnetization, handling and laying of
the MaxX and its load. Please note that to correctly carry
out the MaxX lifting must be placed on the centre of
gravity of the load; In fact an unbalanced load can
compromise the magnetic anchorage. Below are
two examples of STABLEpositioning (correctly laid on the
centre of gravity of the load) and UNSTABLE positioning.

Fig.8.1B
Also, avoid placing the MaxX "cut" with the anchored load.

8.2 Personal protective
equipment
The Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) required for the
use of the MaxX are the same as those required for the use
of the system on which it is installed/hooked (see also
paragraph 1.8).
8.3Exposure to magnetic field
For possible risks related to exposure to magnetic fields, a
careful evaluation of the possible effects against pregnant
women, subjects with special pathologies and persons with
pacemaker or other patients, is recommended. Prostheses
equipped with electronic circuits such as hearing aids,
intracranial metallic preparations (or in any case near vital
anatomical structures), vascular clips or splinters in
ferromagnetic material.
It is therefore known that:
1. The permanent magnetic systems produced by
Tecnomagnete are stationary magnetic systems and, as
such, do not emit electric fields.
2. The magnetic field emission does not exceed 100
Gauss at a distance of 100 mm from the magnetic
system
It is therefore specified that the values of the magnetic
fields are lower than the action values indicated in table 2
of annex XXXVI to Legislative Decree 81/2008. MaxX is
therefore a product suitable for the wearers of pacemakers
or other prostheses equipped with electronic circuits. For
further details see section 8.4.
