General Safety Information
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE USING. PRIOR TO USING
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WARNING, PRECAUTIONS AND
ADVERSE EFFECTS RELATING TO THIS DEVICE.
Safety Warnings, Precautions and Contraindications
Warning:
For portable applications, the operator and end-user must take
precautions to protect themselves against dangerous X-ray exposure
when using the flat panel imager in the X-ray beam path of an X-ray
source.
Warning:
The 2530W is not intended to be used as a primary barrier to X-rays.
The user is responsible for ensuring the safety of the operator,
bystanders, and the subjects being radiographed.
Warning:
To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be
connected to a supply main with protective earth when not in wireless
configuration.
Warning:
To reduce the potential of electrical shock, the operator should not
simultaneously touch the patient, cable connections, ex-sync serial
connector, fuse holders, and the power supply.
Warning:
Equipment must be connected to an uninterruptible power source for
which it was designed.

Warning:
The equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a
flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
Warning:
Do not exceed maximum load weight of 100kg over a diameter of
40mm and 150kg distributed around the entire surface of the
panel.
This device is not intended to supply heat to a patient. However,
during normal use surfaces will become heated due to power
dissipation in the imager.
Temperature increases based on frequency of image acquisitions
taken. Patient contact surfaces will not exceed 6 degrees C above
the manufacturer’s recommended normal operation temperature.
See Figure 1-0 for the view of patient contact surfaces. Internal
temperature sensor data is provided in the diagnostic data attached
to each image. These temperature measurements are well
correlated with the panel external surface temperature. It is
advisable to monitor this diagnostic data as an additional safety
precaution.
The operator should monitor and evaluate how much and how
long the patient is in contact with these surfaces. Exposure
beyond limitations may result in, but not limited to, the surface
layer of the skin to become reddened, welted, and swollen with
pain.
Note:
System Integrators: At a system level, it is possible to apply for
UL approval without the patient contact limitations discussed
below. If the imaging system monitors the internal temperature
data supplied by the panel, mechanisms can be put in place at the
OEM system level to control panel surface temperature so that it
does not exceed 41oC.
Note:
There are no contraindication situations.
