Safety precautions

General safety instructions

• The processor was designed for processing medical X-ray films (except for mam-

mographic films and rollfilms), and should only be used for this purpose.

• The processor may only be operated by qualified staff, skilled on the machine.

• Make sure that only authorized personnel has access to the processor.

• Only trained and authorized service personnel can make repairs or changes to the

processor.

• If there is visible damage to the machine casing, the processor should not be

started or used.

• Do not override or disconnect the integrated safety features.

• Disconnect the processor from the mains before performing any maintenance

activities.

• Like all technical devices, the processor must be operated, cared for and ser-

viced correctly, as described in the documentation provided with the machine.

• If the processor is not operated correctly or if you do not have it serviced correctly,

CAWO is not liable for resulting disturbances, damages or injuries.

• When installing the processor, care must be taken to ensure that there is either a

mains plug or an all-cable disconnecting device in the internal installation fitted
near the processor and that it is easily accessible.

• If connections with other components or assemblies are made, CAWO can guar-

antee safety only for combinations which are approved by CAWO.

• If you notice conspicuous smoke or noise, disconnect the processor immediately.

• An earth leakage breaker must be built into the electrical circuit (I

≤ 30 mA).

Special instructions for the handling of chemicals

• When handling chemicals, you must observe safety and environmental regula-

tions as well as the operating and warning instructions accompanying the chemi­cals.

• Wear stipulated protective clothing and safety goggles.

• When disposing of chemicals and waste water, you must comply with the local

regulations concerning waste water and environmental protection.

• If chemicals get into your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes with cold water and

consult a physician.

• Do not inhale vapor from chemicals. Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation

where the processor is installed, i.e. air exchange that is at least ten times the
space volume per hour.

• Always comply with the installation instructions.

• Regularly check all connections to the processor for tightness.

• If liquid gets into the inside of the processor (due to spills), disconnect the proces-

sor from the mains immediately and have the device cleaned thoroughly by
service personnel.

Collect spent chemicals in
separate containers and
suspend hose pipes at a
sloping angle without any
kinks.

Make sure that the hose pipes do not come into contact with the liquid in
the container!

Do not use additional chlorine or chlorine containing substances inside the
processor. The use of additional chlorine or chlorine containing substances
can lead to irreversible damage of the equipment. Using these substances
may void the manufacturers warranty.
