NOTE
At the accept
ance 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 m dical xposur s
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 Int nd d us r group
The radiographic system PRS 500 X 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.

th X-ray g n rator and is switch d on/off through th switching on and off of
th g n rator its lf. In ord r to disconn ct th PRS 500 X from th pow r th
conn ct d X-ray g n rator must b shut off.
2.1.2 Op rating of th radiographic syst m
When having troubles with operating the radiographic system PRS 500 X, immediately call the Service
of PROTEC or an authorized service and stop the using of the system.
2.1.3 Op rating typ
The PRS 500 X is not designated for continuous use.
Duty Cycle: S3 15% - maximum continuous operation of 1,5 minutes.
2.1.4 Op rating p rsonn l
The radiographic system PRS 500 X with stand should only be operated by personnel who are trained
in accordance with the corresponding national regulations in the use and operation of diagnostic
radiographic systems.
NOTE
Only properly trained and authorized personnel are allowed to word with the
radiographic system PRS 500 X.
The user, as well as the service personnel, must pay attention to the warnings, notices and safety
instructions located on the device and in the user manual. Failure to comply with the information
provided can lead to injury.
NOTE
Operating personnel are required to acquaint themselves
with all warnings
(warning signs) located on the device PRS 500 X. They serve to ensure the safety of
the operator as well as others and set a basic for orderly operation.

2.1.5 Pinching and Collision Hazards
CAUTION!
Ensur that whil using any product that can b low r d, rais d or mov d in
diff r nt dir ctions, n ith r yours lf (op rator), th pati nt or any third party
finds th ms lv s in a hazardous position (ar a of mov m nt). R mov all
obj cts ( .g. chairs, pushcarts) from known collision ar as.
B awar that car l ss or improp r adjustm nt of th radiographic syst m
(mov m nt of column, d t ctor Bucky, X-ray syst m imag r c ptor stand
and tabl top) can l ad to damag of th X-ray compon nts, unusabl X-ray
imag s and injury to th pati nt. Failur to pay att ntion can l ad to damag
of th radiographic syst m as w ll as xt rnal obj cts.
2.1.6 Explosion prot ction
These radiographic system PRS 500 X is not designated for use within areas with explosive hazards.
2.1.7 Radiation prot ction
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:
•Distanc from th radiation sourc
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
•K p th xposur tim as short as possibl
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).
•Utiliz shi lding and prot ctiv 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 r ach into th dir ct X-ray b am
The dosage in a un-weakened-Ray beam is around 100 times larger than that in the scattered
radiation.
•Us p rsonal dosag m t rs
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 V ntilation
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 Int raction with xt rnal d vic s
Unwanted interaction with external devices is not known.

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 X is intended for the usage in a professional environment of the medical service (e.g. clinic,
surgery centers, physiology offices …)
