IMPORTANT!...X-RAY PROTECTION
X-ray equipment if not properly used may cause injury. Accordingly, the
instructions herein contained should be thoroughly read and understood by
everyone who will use the equipment before you attempt to place this equipment
in operation. The General Electric Company, Medical Systems Group, will be glad
to assist and cooperate in placing this equipment in use.
Although this apparatus incorporates a high degree of protection against x-radiation other
than the useful beam, no practical design of equipment can provide complete protection.
Nor can any practical design compel the operator to take adequate precautions to
prevent the possibility of any persons carelessly exposing themselves or others to
radiation.
It is important that everyone having anything to do with x-radiation be properly trained and
fully acquainted with the recommendations of the National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements as published in NCRP Reports available from NCRP
Publications, 7910 Woodmont Avenue, Room 1016, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, and of
the International Commission on Radiation Protection, and take adequate steps to protect
against injury.
The equipment is sold with the understanding that the General Electric Medical Systems,
its agents, and representatives have no responsibility for injury or damage which may
result from improper use of the equipment.
Various protective material and devices are available. It is urged that such materials or
devices be used.
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
This product conforms with IEC 60601-1-2:2001+A1:2004 EMC standard for medical
devices.
Note:This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. The
equipment may cause or subject to radio frequency interference with other
medical and non–medical devices and radio communications. To provide
reasonable protection against such interference, the Proteus XR/a System (32,
50, 65, 80kW) complies with emissions limits for a Group 1, Class A Medical
Devices and has applicable immunity level as stated in EN IEC 60601-12:2001+A1:2004.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. Special precautions and other information regarding EMC provided
in the accompanying documents of this equipment shall be observed during
installation and operation of this equipment.
Note: If this equipment is found to cause interference (which may be determined by
switching the equipment on and off), the user (or qualified service personnel)
should attempt to correct the problem by one or more of the following
measure(s):
Reorient or relocate the affected device(s).
Increase the separating space between the equipment and the affected
device.
Power the equipment from a source different from that of the affected
device.
Consult the point of purchase or service representative for further
suggestions.
Use of accessories, transducers, cables and other parts other than those
specified by the manufacturer of this equipment may result in increased
emissions or decreased immunity of the equipment. The manufacturer is not
responsible for any interference caused either by the use of interconnect
cables other than those recommended, or by unauthorized changes or
modifications to this equipment. Unauthorized changes or modifications could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

and reflection from structures, objects and people.
*Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for cellular telephones and land mobile radios,
amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be estimated accurately. To assess the
electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be performed. If
the measured field strength exceeds the RF compliance level above, observe the Proteus XR/a system to
verify normal operation in each use location. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be
necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the [EQUIPMENT and/or SYSTEM].
**Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths are less than 3 V/m.

It is not always possible to determine when some components, such as x-ray tubes, are
nearing the end of their operating lives. These components could stop operating during a
patient examination.
KNOW THE EQUIPMENT
Read and understand all the instructions in the operating manuals before attempting to
use the product and request training assistance from GE Medical System if needed.
Keep the operating manuals with the equipment at all times and periodically review the
procedures and safety precautions.
This system contains operating safeguards to provide maximum safety. Before calling for
service, be certain proper operating procedures are being used.
Satisfactory equipment performance requires the use of service personnel specially
trained on x-ray apparatus. GE Medical Systems is responsible for the effects on safety,
reliability, and performance only if the following conditions are met:
