•Ordinary EQUIPMENT without protection against the ingress of water
•Suitable for CONTINUOUS OPERATION
•NOT suitable for use in the presence of a an FLAMMABLE ANAESTHETIC
MIXTURE WITH AIR or WITH OXYGEN OR NITROUS OXIDE
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE POTENTIAL
This equipment complies fully with interference immunity requirements of the standard IEC
60601-1-2 “Medical electrical equipment: Part 1: General safety requirements; 2.
Supplementary standard: Electromagnetic compatibility”.
This equipment generates radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to nearby devices.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of the following measures:
•Increase the separation between the equipment and the affected device.
•Plug the unit into an outlet on a circuit different from that which the affected device is
connected.
If this fails to correct the problem, please contact Capintec’s only Authorized Service Center.

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 on the Isolation Transformer is a label (Figure 1-1) providing the system power
requirements, the voltage of the system, the replacement fuse values for both power line
voltages and the fuse replacement warning.
Figure 1-1
CAUTION: Please reference CHAPTER 16: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
for instructions on how to change the fuses of the Isolation
Transformer.
CAUTION: For continued protection, replace only with same type and rating of
fuse(s). A fire hazard may exist if the wrong rating of fuse is installed.

July 16 SAFETY 1-3
Located by each line cord on the Isolation Transformer is a label (Figure 1-2) indicating
which device each cord is to be connected to and the power availability for that device.
Figure 1-2
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: The assembled CAPTUS®4000e system is very heavy (up to a
maximum of 740lb [336kg] fully loaded) Use caution when moving.
Reference CHAPTER 4: GENERAL SETUP, Section: Moving the
System for moving instructions.
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.

CAPINTEC, INC. CAPTUS®4000e
1-4 SAFETY July 16
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 16: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE before
operating.
CAUTION: Care must be exercised when moving the system or when maintenance
is performed. If the system is inclined at more than a 15-degree angle, it
may tip over.
CAUTION: Verify that the collimator is correctly installed as stated in the
UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in injury or product malfunction.

CAUTION: If any Computer, Printer or cables other than the model supplied by
Capintec is used, the safety of the unit may be compromised or other
devices located in the same general area as the CAPTUS®4000e may
become susceptible to EMI.
CAUTION: If any detectors other than those supplied by Capintec are used, the
safety of the unit may be compromised or other devices located in the
same general area as the CAPTUS®4000e may become susceptible to
EMI.
CAUTION: If any components are used other than those supplied by Capintec, the
power and signal connections must be the same as those for the original
manufacturer’s configuration or the safety of the unit may be
compromised.
CAUTION: The equipment should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment and that if adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the
equipment should be observed to verify normal operation in the
configuration in which it will be used.
CAUTION: Do not disconnect or connect detectors from the computer, while the

the Computer. If any USB devices other than the models supplied by
Capintec are used, the safety of the unit may be compromised or other
devices located in the same general area as the CAPTUS®4000e may
become susceptible to EMI. The maximum Input/Output voltages are
5Vdc.
CAUTION: Do not attach a monitor to the VGA port on the rear of the Computer. If a
Monitor is attached to this port, the safety of the unit may be
compromised or other devices located in the same general area as the
CAPTUS
®
4000e may become susceptible to EMI.
CAUTION: Do not connect the CAPTUS®4000e to a network. If the system is
attached to a network, the safety of the unit may be compromised or
other devices located in the same general area as the CAPTUS®4000e
may become susceptible to EMI.
CAUTION: The unit contains lead. The unit should be disposed of in accordance
with local and national regulations.
CAUTION: The unit contains a lithium battery. This should be disposed of in
accordance with local and national regulations.
CAUTION: The user should always verify the validity of any measurement or test
result in order to minimize measurement errors.
CAUTION: To remove main power from the system, the Isolation Transformer power
cable must be unplugged from the medical grade wall socket.
WARNING: The CAPTUS®4000e must be connected a supply mains with protective
earth.
Note: It is recommended that periodic (every five years) re-calibration of the unit be
performed only by Capintec’s Authorized Service Center (reference CHAPTER 16:

GENERAL SAFETY TIPS
•Unplug the equipment before cleaning it. Use only a damp cloth; do not use solvents
or aerosol cleaners.
•To protect the equipment from overheating, make sure none of the openings (vents)
on the computer, monitor or the printer are blocked.
•Do not use the equipment directly in front of a radiator, heat register or air
conditioning duct.
•Do not use the equipment near water or spill liquids of any kind into the equipment.
•Be sure that your power source matches the rating listed on the Isolation
Transformer.
•The CAPTUS®4000e power cord has a grounded, 3-prong plug as a safety feature,
and it will only fit into a grounded outlet. Do not use an adapter to defeat the
grounding.
•Do not position the CAPTUS®4000e such that the mains power on/off switch at the
base of the unit cannot be accessed.
•The CAPTUS®4000e computer system is connected to the Isolation Transformer to
comply with electrical safety for Medical Electrical Equipment.
•Due to the risk of electrical shock, do not install or use a modem or a network adapter
with the CAPTUS®4000e computer system.
•To avoid damaging the power cord, do not place anything on it or place it where it will
be walked on. If the cord becomes damaged, replace it immediately.
•Aside from the routine maintenance described in this manual, do not try to service
this equipment yourself. There are no user serviceable parts contained in the system
other than the fuses in the Isolation Transformer. Do not make any adjustments other
than those outlined in this manual, as you may in-validate the calibration or cause
damage requiring extensive repair work. Refer servicing to qualified service
personnel.
•Do not subject the Detectors to rough handling or rapid temperature changes, as the
NaI Scintillation Crystal can be damaged.
•Do not place more 200 pounds (90.7 kg) of weight on the table top.
