Important Remarks 0
Introduction 0
The following general safety notes are supplemented by specific descriptions in the documents supplied by us, e.g. product documents, ARTD (general guidelines) as well as by
written instructions in specific cases.
All safety instructions must be observed in the performance of work and tests; in addition,
there must be compliance with prescribed country-specific requirements (e.g. occupational safety and accident prevention regulations).
NOTE
The particular applicable ARTDs (General Guidelines for Technical
Service) can be found on the Intranet on the following path: http://www-td.med.siemens.de/rootcollection/Med_TD/Management/Quality_Management/TDQ_WORK/guidelines-artd-gesamt.h

Changes made in products shipped by us 0
Changes made in products/systems shipped by us must not be implemented without our
written release; this applies in particular to changes which may affect the mechanical
and/or electrical safety or radiation-protection properties of a product (e.g. changing of
safety distances, removal of locks/instructions, enlargement of the radiation exit window
on the lead cone, etc.).

Safety Notes and Symbols 0
The use of signal words and their levels anticipate the new Medical Solutions CS Standard (CS = Customer Services, previously Technical Service), which is based on the
ANSI Z535.4 Standard.
Safety Notes 0
Emphasized texts in technical documentation have the following meaning:
!
DANGER
!
WARNING
!
CAUTION
NOTICE
Fig. 1: Safety Notes
DANGER indicates when there is an immediate danger that
l e a d s to death or serious physical injury.
WARNING indicates a risk of danger that m a y l e a d to death
or serious physical injury.
CAUTION used with the safety alert symbol indicates a risk of
danger that leads to slight or moderate physical injury and/ or
damage to property.
NOTICE used without the safety alert symbol indicates a risk of
danger that if disregarded leads or may lead to a potential
situation which may result in an undesirable result or state other
than death, physical injury or property damage.
Changes Regarding Notice and Note 0
Up to this time, both the warning as well as the obligatory notes have been introduced in
German language documentation with “Hinweis”. In the future, a distinction will be made
between these two types of information.
Notice / Achtung
In the future, the word “Notice” (in German “Achtung”) will have a warning character.
Note / Hinweis
The note “Note” should be understood as a tip. The user does not absolutely have to
observe these instructions. However, there will be advantages if he does.
The American term “Note” should continue to be translated as “Hinweis”. Consequently,
the term “Hinweis” should also only be used when reference to a possible advantage is
made.
