Compatibility
The Xstrahl Radiotherapy systems are suitable for use in a clinical or
hospital environment, within a suitable lead shielded treatment room
(for relevant X-Ray radiation protection).
Xstrahl has declared the following essential performance when
subject to electromagnetic emissions or RFI immunity:
Treatment Mode
 X-Ray beam can carry on running and complete the correct
treatment
 X-Ray beam can be interrupted or stopped
 X-Ray beam can be interrupted and error messages are
visible
 Electronic component failure prevents the X-Ray beam from
running
Standby Mode
 X-Ray beam cannot be run
 Errors can be reported
 Power on fail LCD will still read with power off
WARNING: Use of Xstrahl equipment adjacent to or stacked
with other equipment should be avoided to prevent improper
operation.
WARNING: Equipment spare parts, cabling and accessories
should only be replaced with Xstrahl specified parts to prevent
increased EMC emissions or decreased immunity of the
Xstrahl system.
WARNING: Portable RF communication equipment
(example; antenna cables or antennas) should be used no closer
than 30cm to any part of the Xstrahl system
Portable Personal
Electronic Devices
Portable personal electronic devices (intravenous pumps, cardiac
pacemakers, intravenous devices and other implanted devices)
should not be placed in front of a radiation beam. Small doses of
radiation could cause the devices to malfunction. Failure to observe
this warning could cause these devices to malfunction which could
result in serious injury or even death. Always monitor the operation
of portable personal electronic devices during radiation treatment.
