IMPORTANT! . . . X-RAY PROTECTION X-ray equipment if not properly used may cause injury. Accordingly, the instructions herein contained should be thoroughly read and understood by everyone who will use the equipment before you attempt to place this equipment in operation. The General Electric Company, Medical Systems Group, will be glad to assist and cooperate in placing this equipment in use. Although this apparatus incorporates a high degree of protection against x-radiation other than the useful beam, no practical design of equipment can provide complete protection. Nor can any practical design compel the operator to take adequate precautions to prevent the possibility of any persons carelessly exposing themselves or others to radiation. It is important that everyone having anything to do with x-radiation be properly trained and fully acquainted with the recommendations of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements as published in NCRP Reports available from NCRP Publications, 7910 Woodmont Avenue, Room 1016, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, and of the International Commission on Radiation Protection, and take adequate steps to protect against injury. The equipment is sold with the understanding that the General Electric Company, Medical Systems Group, its agents, and representatives have no responsibility for injury or damage which may result from improper use of the equipment. Various protective material and devices are available. It is urged that such materials or devices be used. CAUTION: United States Federal law restricts this device to use by or on the order of a physician.

General The AMX−4+ contains operating safeguards to provide maximum safety. Before calling for service, be certain proper operating procedures are being used. Refer to Direction 2166913−100, AMX−4+ Operating Manual, or Direction 2166911−100, AMX−4+ International Operation for proper operating procedures. Satisfactory equipment performance requires the use of service personnel specially trained on x−ray apparatus. The General Electric Company, Medical Systems, is responsible for the effects on safety, reliability, and performance only if the following conditions are met: •

The electrical wiring of the relevant rooms complies with all national and local codes.

•

All assembly operations, extensions, re−adjustments, modifications or repairs are carried out by General Electric Company, Medical Systems, authorized service representatives.

•

The equipment is used in accordance with the instructions for use. Refer to Direction 2166913−100, AMX−4+ Operating Manual, or Direction 2166911−100, AMX−4+ International Operation for proper operating procedures.

Only trained and qualified personnel should be permitted access to the internal parts of this equipment.

1-3

Cleaning

The General Electric Company, Medical Systems, and its associates, maintain a worldwide organization of stations from which one may obtain skilled x−ray service. Arrangements can usually be made to furnish preventive and/or emergency service on a contract basis. A General Electric Medical Systems representative will be glad to discuss this plan.

The AMX−4+ should be cleaned frequently, particularly if corroding chemicals are present. Use a cloth slightly moistened in warm, soapy water to clean all surfaces. Wipe with a cloth slightly moistened in clean water. Do not use cleaners or solvents of any kind. They may remove markings and could damage the finish and plastic covers.

Inspection To assure continued performance of this x−ray equipment, a periodic maintenance program must be established in accordance with 2173227−100 AMX−4+ Periodic Maintenance. It is the owner’s responsibility to supply or arrange for this service. Functional Check verifies that the AMX−4+ is functioning correctly, that wear, or damage has not been sustained during use, that diagnostic self−test can be passed, and x−rays can be made. It does not indicate that the unit is performing to specifications. Refer to Direction 2173227−100, AMX−4+ Periodic Maintenance, for tests that verify specified performance. These checks are divided into three parts: Visual Inspection, Functional Check, and Power Cord Check. Visual Inspection confirms legibility of operator indicators, and general safety. Functional Check confirms equipment operation and function. Power Cord Check verifies the integrity of the power cord for safe operation. At the start of each shift, a Visual Inspection and Functional Check should be performed to verify operation. Functional Check should also be used to verify operation after the AMX−4+ is serviced.
