Radiation Warning
WARING!
The component of the equipment described within this Document is part of a
s stem for the intended generation of X-ra s for medical diagnosis.
X-ra s generate a potential risk for both patients and operators.
For this reason, the application of X-ra s for a given medical purpose must
aim at the minimization of radiation exposition to an persons. Those persons
responsible for the application must have the specific knowledge according
to legal requirements and regulations and must establish safe exposure
procedures for these kinds of s stems. Those persons, responsible for the
planning and installation of this equipment, must observe the national
regulations.
The s stem causes different ionising radiation. The purpose is to create
characteristic X-ra radiation. The intensit depends on the adjusted values of
voltage, current and time. The radiation comes orthogonal out of the X-ra
tube and is limited b the collimator.

NOTE
At the acceptance test a 25mm Aluminium / ,5% purity can be used as a
phantom for a patient equivalent.
The acceptance test has to be made in accordance to the local laws and directives.
Only Special trained People are allowed to do this.
1.5 Indication and Contraindication
1.5.1 Indications
Justification of medical exposures
According to §83 of the German radiation protection law (StrlSchG), an X-ray examination is only
justified if the patients benefit from x-ray diagnostics outweighs the radiation risk. The examination
method, means the conventional X-ray with the PRS 500 system, must be suitable to answer the
diagnostic question and no other more suitable alternative method is available.
Accordingly, it is also described by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in the document
Radiation Protection and Safety of Radiation Sources: International Basic Safety Standards (Requirement 37:
Justification of medical exposures). It also refers to the need to consider national or international
guidelines for the justification of a medical exposure.
A complete list of indications is unrealisable for conventional radiography, because the spectrum of
conventional X-rays is very diverse and can vary in the course of medical-technical progress.
Some examples of indications for an X-ray examination may be:
•For the diagnosis of a bone fracture or bony injuries of the skeletal system or pathological
changes of hard tissues.
•To control the bone setting.
•For the diagnosis of luxations and ligament ruptures of the locomotor system.
•For the diagnosis of degenerative, inflammatory, traumatic and tumorous diseases and
changes of the locomotor system.
•For diagnostic of malformations and malalignments of the skeletal system.
•For the diagnosis of thoracic and pulmonary symptoms (thorax exposures)
•For the diagnosis of sclerotherapy.
•For the diagnosis of inflammatory and expansive processes of the mucosa, cranial bones and
paranasal extension.
•For the diagnosis of the abdomen (e.g. acute abdomen, plain abdominal radiography,
urethrogram, cystogram).
1.5.2 Contra indications
There are no absolute contraindications for conventional X-rays.
But it is not allowed to make any exposures on humans when they are not medically indicated (see
Justification of medical exposures, chapter 1.5.1 Indication).
For pregnant women and children it is important to consider if the exposure is really necessary. It
should be avoided if possible.
1.6 Intended user group
The radiographic system PRS 500 F is exclusively designated for use by professional who are trained, in
accordance with the corresponding national regulations, in the use of diagnostic X-Ry equipment and
its proper intended use in connection with other medical devices, objects and accessories.
Suitable users could include the following: Radiologist, radiology assistants, radiology technicians,
doctors and other medically trained personnel.

CAUTION!
The manual contains ever safet relevant information for the commissioning
of the s stem. Operating the device is exclusivel for special trained staff. In
this context there are on ever operating element relevant safet s mbols.
Further information are on the delivered document-CD. Those information
count as additional information and have to be observed.
NOTE
Every operating element is marked on the operating console and on the swivel arm
or wall column, there are further descriptions for the symbols in the corresponding
manual. The lawfully requirements for building regulations for radiographic systems
have to be fulfilled. The radiographic system has to be checked according to the
local law and also accepted by the responsible office.
CAUTION!
If the wrong SID is in use for exposures, personal injuries for the patient can
be the result. The inverse square law takes place here. Halving the distance
will cause a 4 time higher radiation dose.
WARNING!
It’s not allowed to make an medical not indicated exposures on people. At
pregnanc or children the question is if the exposure is reall necessar . If
possible it’s better to abandon it.

2.1.5 Pinching and Collision Hazards
CAUTION!
Ensure that while using an product that can be lowered, raised or moved in
different directions, neither ourself (operator), the patient or an third part
finds themselves in a hazardous position (area of movement). Remove all
objects (e.g. chairs, pushcarts) from known collision areas.
Be aware that careless or improper adjustment of the radiographic s stem
(movement of column, detector Buck , verticalX-ra s stem image receptor
stand and table top) can lead to damage of the X-ra components, unusable
X-ra images and injur to the patient. Failure to pa attention can lead to
damage of the radiographic s stem as well as external objects.
2.1.6 Explosion protection
These radiographic system PRS 500 F is not designated for use within areas with explosive hazards.
2.1.7 Radiation protection
X-ray radiation can pose a hazard to patients and other people when the regulations regarding the
operation of radiographic systems are not followed.
For this reason, the basic principles of radiation protection are of the highest priority and must be
followed without exception:
•Distance from the radiation source
The dosage is reduced as a factor of the square of the distance from a (dot shaped) radiation source.
Double the distance ¼ dose, triple the distance 1/ dose
•Keep the exposure time as short as possible
The dosage is directly correlated with the exposure time. A half exposure time results in a radiation
dose half that of a full exposure. (This is especially pertinent with fluoroscopy, as X-ray images have
predetermined mAs).
•Utilize shielding and protective clothing
The protective value grows exponentially with the thickness of the shielding. Two half-value layer
thickness (HVL) weaken (homogeneous) radiation to ¼, 3 HVL to 1/8, und 10 HVL to less than 1/1000
of the original value.
•Do not reach into the direct X-ra beam
The dosage in a un-weakened-Ray beam is around 100 times larger than that in the scattered
radiation.
•Use personal dosage meters
In working with radiation (X-rays), the use of personal dosage monitors is suggested.
The X-ray images are principally triggered from behind a protective wall. For the creation of images
near the reproductive organs use the maximum available protection (e.g. testicular shielding or lead
covers)
People that must remain close to the patient are required to wear protective clothing (e.g. lead apron).
This counts for maintenance and installation work as well.
2.1.8 Ventilation
It is important to ensure that the air exchange of the X-ray generator within the system is not hindered.
The ambient air temperature is not allowed to exceed 40°C.
2.1.9 Interaction with external devices
Unwanted interaction with external devices is not known.

2.1.10 Electromagnetic Environment and the influence of devices
CAUTION!
The usage of other accessories, converter and other cables besides the
delivered ones or b PROTEC (or the component manufacturer) established
ones can cause increased electromagnetic emissions or a decreased
electromagnetic resistance, which will lead to an improper operating mode.
CAUTION!
The usage of PRS 500 F straight next to other devices or stacked devices
should be avoided, since it can cause an improper operating mode. If there is
no other possibilit than this the PRS 500 F and other devices should be
studied to make sure the work proper.
NOTE
The characteristics of this device, as determined by emissions, allow its use in the
industrial sector and in animal clinics (CISPR, Class A). When used in residential areas
(for which Class B is usually required by CISPR 11), this unit may not provide
adequate protection for radio services. The user must take remedial measures such
as implementation or reorientation of the device.
The PRS 500 F is intended for the usage in a professional environment of the medical service (e.g. clinic,
surgery centers, physiology offices …)
