2.7Radiation protection

2.8
Radiation protection
Safety information for Heliode nt rad ia tion protection: Customer
The valid radiation protection regulations and measures must be
observed. The statutory radiation protection equipment must be used. In
order to reduce radiation exposure, Sirona recommends using bismuth or
lead shields or aprons, especially for pediatric patients.
During an exposure, the operator should move as far away from the X-ray
tube assembly as the coiled cable of the manual release permits.
With the exception of the patient, no other persons without radiation
protection are allowed to stay in the room during an exposure. In
exceptional cases, a third person may provide assistance, but not the
practice staff.
If the patient is within reach of the unit including its operating elements,
they must be supervised. Visual contact with the patient and the unit must
be maintained throughout the entire exposure.
In case of malfunctions, cancel the exposure immediately by letting go of
the exposure release button.
Hygiene
Suitable hygienic measures must be taken to prevent cross
contamination among patients, operators and other persons.
Before positioning the patient in the unit, you must ensure that
bеЦдблЬ
2.9
2.10
● all auxiliary X-ray equipment is used and prepared (sterilized and/or
disinfected) in accordance with manufacturer specifications (e.g.
hygienic protective sleeves).
Compliance with the hygienic measures prevents the transmission of
infections that can trigger severe illnesses.
Trouble-free operation
Generally valid
Use of this system is permissible only if it works properly without
malfunctions. If trouble-free operation cannot be ensured, the unit must
be taken out of service, checked by authorized technicians for
malfunctions and, if necessary, repaired.
Unit cover
The device may only be operated with a complete cover and protective
hood.
Interference with electronic devices
To prevent the malfunctioning of electronic devices and data storage
devices, e.g. radio-controlled watches, telephone cards, etc., these
objects must be removed prior to X-raying.

commencing treatment, ask if the patient has a cardiac pacemaker or any
other implanted system.
Any prevailing risks are listed in the documentation provided by the
equipment manufacturer.
Electromagnetic compatibility
