NOTE
The VIDAR digitizers are used to digitize radiographs (X-ray film) or other transparent targets. When the
digitizer is used to digitize radiographic films, the digital image is intended for use in primary, secondary
and over reading applications.
The digitizers do not include application specific software (Picture Archiving and Communications [PAC]
system, Teleradiology, Oncology Systems, or Computer Aided Detection [CAD] software). The
manufacturer of the application software will determine specific indications for use. These third-party
software packages or complete systems are approved separately from a regulatory perspective.
The digitizers are marketed as a component to application software development companies, who will
incorporate the digitizer into their respective PACS or Teleradiology, CAD system(s). The software
developer is ultimately responsible for detailing the Contradictions for the PACS System (or Teleradiology
software package) or Oncology Systems as a whole, including the digitizer.
Caution: No operator-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

carry the CE mark, issued by BSI
This product’s function and intended use is as an X-ray Film Digitizer.
To maintain Medical Equipment Certification, the digitizer must be connected to a host
computer that has been configured in accordance with IEC 60601-1-1.
This product is in the Ordinary Equipment Class. It provides no protection against the
ingress of water.
This product is not suitable for use in the presence of flammable anesthetic mixtures with
air or with oxygen or with nitrous oxide.
Class I Medical Device; No Applied Parts. This product provides Class I medical device
protection against electrical shock.
Power cords used with this device in North America must be rated by Underwriters
Laboratories for hospital use. Power cords used with this device in Europe must meet the
requirements of IEC 227 Designation 53 or IEC 245 Designation 53.
The use of portable or mobile communications equipment and/or the presence of strong
electromagnetic and/or x-ray fields may interfere with proper operation of this product.
This product should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent
or stacked use is necessary, verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will
be used. Should such interference occur, the user is required to provide adequate
isolation between the digitizer and the source of the interference. Isolation is typically
achieved by moving the digitizer away from the source of the interference.
This product is intended to be turned on and left on. Operation is continuous.
Correct and safe operation of the digitizer requires familiarity
with information that is not marked on the product. The
following symbol indicates the operator should consult the
