Waste in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) –
This symbol indicates that the waste of electrical and
electronic equipment must not be disposed as unsorted
municipal waste and must be collected separately.
Environmentally Friendly Use Period (EFUP) – 20 years
from the date of manufacture – Toxic or hazardous
substances or elements contained in the unit will not leak
or mutate under normal operating conditions resulting in
any environmental pollution, bodily injury or damage to
assets.
WARNING AND CAUTION LABELS
Located in the center section on both sides of the Spring-Arm is a warning label (Figure 1-1)
concerning the hazard of removing the Collimator when the Spring-Arm is in the wrong
position. If the weight of the Collimator is removed from the Spring-Arm, the arm may
forcefully spring upward causing serious injury to the operator. The Spring-Arm must be fully
extended in the upright position to prevent this from happening.
Figure 1-1
Located in the front section on both sides of the Spring-Arm is a warning label (Figure 1-2)
concerning the hazard of improperly installing the Collimator onto the Spring-Arm. If the
Collimator Support Pin is not fully inserted and latched into the Receptacle Block of the
Spring-Arm, the Collimator may detach from the Spring-Arm and fall onto the patient. In
addition, the arm can forcefully swing upward and cause serious injury to the operator. The
Collimator is safely installed on the Spring-Arm when the red warning ring is NOT visible
between the Collimator and the Receptacle Block. Refer to the UNPACKING AND
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS for illustrations.
Figure 1-2
Located on the top right side of the Computer case is a label (Figure 1-3) containing three
caution statements pertaining to electrical safety of the Computer. They are as follows:
1-2 SAFETY November 13

CAPINTEC, INC. CAPTUS®3000
•TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVERS –
This statement is necessary because of the high voltage present (1000 volts) on the
PC board installed in the computer. A screwdriver is necessary to remove the covers.
•REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL – This statement
informs the user that no servicing of the computer system should be performed by the
user.
•ALL POWER CABLES MUST BE CONNECTED THROUGH THE ISOLATION
TRANSFORMER – This statement is necessary to eliminate any shock hazard to the
patient and the user.
Figure 1-3
Located on the top of the Isolation Transformer is a label (Figure 1-4) providing the system
power requirements, the voltage and serial number of the system, the replacement fuse
values for both power line voltages and the fuse replacement warning.

CAUTION: Please reference CHAPTER 15: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
for instructions on how to change the fuses of the Isolation
Transformer.
CAUTION: A fire hazard may exist if the wrong size of fuse is installed.
Located on the left side of the Isolation Transformer is a label (Figure 1-5) with two caution
statements pertaining to the main power cord of the Isolation Transformer:
•READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE CONNECTING TO OUTLET – This
statement directs the user to the Owner's Manual before connecting the power.
•“HOSPITAL ONLY” or “HOSPITAL GRADE” – This statement alerts the user to
select an electrical power receptacle that is designated as such, to ensure reliable
grounding to the CAPTUS®system.

CAUTIONS AND NOTES
CAUTION: Changing the date or time while a timed test is in progress (for example,
a 24 hour Thyroid Uptake Test) might affect the results or introduce
unexpected error. Care should be taken to evaluate any potential impact
for ongoing tests before changing the date or time. Verify that in the Date
and Time Properties in Windows Control Panel that the “Automatically
adjust clock for daylight saving changes” checkbox is not checked.
CAUTION: Only qualified/trained personnel should operate or service this unit.
CAUTION: If the equipment is used in a manner not specified in this manual, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
CAUTION: High voltage is present inside the Detectors (up to 1000 Volts). Due to
the presence of this high voltage, opening the covers with the system
plugged in may be hazardous. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
CAUTION: There are no internal adjustments inside the detector, computer or
printer that should be performed by the user within the conditions of the
warranty, except for changing the Isolation Transformer fuse. Due to the
presence of high voltages, opening the cover of the computer with the
system plugged in may be hazardous. Refer all servicing to qualified
personnel.
CAUTION: Never use the Well Detector without the well liner in place. Liners are
inexpensive and easy to replace. A contaminated detector is a very
costly mistake. If unit becomes contaminated remove liner and clean unit
as stated in CHAPTER 15: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE before
