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.

CAUTION 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:

Note:

WARNING

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 60601-1- 2:2001+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.

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.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) (CONT.)

Note: To comply with the regulations applicable to an electromagnetic interface for a Group 1, Class A Medical Device, and to minimize interference risks, the following requirements shall apply:

All interconnect cables to peripheral devices must be shielded and properly grounded. Use of cables not properly shielded and grounded may result in the equipment causing radio frequency interference in violation of the European Union Medical Device directive and FCC regulations.

All of those recommended guidance regarding electromagnetic environment should be followed.

Note: Do not use devices that intentionally transmit RF signals (Cellular Phones, Transceivers, or Radio Controlled Products) in the vicinity of this equipment as it may cause performance outside the published specifications. Keep the power to these type devices turned off when near the equipment. The medical staff in charge of this equipment is required to instruct technicians, patients, and others.

Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration – Electromagnetic Emissions

The Proteus XR/a system is suitable for use in the specified electromagnetic environment. The purchaser or user of the Proteus XR/a system should assure that it is used in an electromagnetic environment as described below:

*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.

ESTABLISH PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING THE PATIENT IN CASE OF THE LOSS OF RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING OR OTHER SYSTEM FUNCTIONS DURING AN EXAM.

ESTABLISH PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING THE PATIENT IN CASE OF THE LOSS OF RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING OR OTHER SYSTEM FUNCTIONS DURING AN EXAM.

POSSIBLE PATIENT INJURY!

TO AVOID POSSIBLE PATIENT INJURY, BE SURE THAT SYSTEM POWER IS APPLIED BEFORE THE PATIENT ENTERS THE ROOM. THE OVER HEAD TUBE SUSPENSION MOVEMENT EM LOCKS AND TABLE LONGITUDINAL TRAVEL LOCKS FUNCTION ONLY WHEN SYSTEM AC POWER IS APPLIED.

IF POWER IS DISCONNECTED, THE OTS AND THE TABLE TOP (LONGITUDINAL) WILL MOVE FREELY, POSSIBLE CAUSING THE PATIENT TO FALL.

DO NOT ALLOW THE PATIENT TO MOUNT OR DEMOUNT THE SYSTEM.

DO NOT ALLOW THE PATIENT TO USE THE OTS AS A SUPPORT. OPERATIONAL CHECKS

Be sure the equipment is functioning properly and safely before each examination:

Verify that the following controls are operating correctly:

Motion controls, and Lock Releases

Audible and visual alarms

Visually inspect the equipment and make sure that:

Equipment is not damaged or missing parts

All cover panels are in place prior to turning on electrical power (hazardous electrical or mechanical parts could be exposed).

APPROVED OPERATING PROCEDURES AND ACCESSORIES

Be sure to use the equipment and the approved accessories according to approved operating procedures:

Perform X-ray tube warm up procedure prior to the exam. Failure to perform this procedure could damage the X-ray Tube assembly.

Do not exceed tabletop rating of a 220 kg (484 lbs.) patient. Excessive loading could damage the tabletop and/or cause the patient to fall.

Accessories should be properly attached to the table and positioned so as not to interfere with system motions.

Avoid unnecessary exposure to radiation. Stay behind the lead glass radiation shield or lead screen. When in unshielded areas, wear protective apparel such as goggles, lead aprons, and gloves.
