Section 1: Safety Information for the Kodak Ektascan 2180
Laser Printer
Read and understand all instructions before using.
The Kodak Ektascan 2180 Laser Printer is a Class I device. This means that for
protection of the user against electrical shock, this device relies on a proper ground
connection as outlined in the Site Specifications for the Kodak Ektascan 2180 Laser
Printer.
Warning
This device has not been designed for:
• direct patient contact.
It must not be used within an eight foot radius of an immobilized patient.
• use in an explosive environment.
It must not be used in areas where explosive gases or vapors are present.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Caution
This device is intended for use only by professional, trained personnel.
Because the imaging sections of laser printers (imagers) are designed
differently, the printed image size displayed on film (media) will differ
among models of laser printers. External measuring devices such as
templates, scales, rulers, or reference point charts used for charting
anatomical locations or measuring point to point should not be used in the
diagnosis or treatment of patients unless differences among the printed
image sizes of laser printers has been taken into consideration.
