compatibility is uncertain, it is necessary to ensure the absence of any danger to the patient
or operator. Consult Sias S.p.A. for information.
As with any technical apparatus, this x-ray unit must be used properly with periodic checks
and maintenance as specified in the chapter “Planned maintenance” of the Service Manual.
Sias S.p.A. is responsible for the safety of its products only when maintenance, repairs, or
modifications have been performed by its personnel or by personnel authorized by Sias
S.p.A. in writing.
Sias S.p.A. cannot be held liable for any malfunction, damage, or danger
resulting from improper use of the system or non-compliance with the rules
for proper maintenance.
Pag. 2/76 - Rev. A [File:201175-E-00-01.doc]

1.1. Electrical safety
Only trained service personnel authorized by Sias S.p.A. may remove the
unit covers and only in accordance with the instructions contained in the
Service Manual.
This x-ray unit may only be used in environments or medical rooms in compliance with the
applicable IEC standards.
The x-ray unit must not be used in areas where there exists a danger of explosion.
Cleaning and disinfecting agents, including those used on patients, may create an explosive,
gaseous mixture. Use only those products in compliance with the applicable rules.
1.2. Laser targeting devices safety
• Keep always a good lightening on the room.

• Never look through the output window of the laser targeting device.
• Never fix the reflections of the laser targeting devices.
• Before starting any examination, the patient must remove earrings, glasses, necklaces
and whatever could reflect the laser beam and be printed on the image.
• Don't clean the openings of the laser targeting devices with tools that could modify their
optics. Only the service personnel must perform possible cleaning actions.
• The min. distance between the laser source and the patient must not be lower than cm20.
The only purpose of the laser use is to reduce the patient dose to a
minimum, it doesn’t be considered as an absolute means of centering.
The activation of procedures other those listed above can cause the
emission of dangerous non-ionizing radiations.
1.3. Mechanical safety

The unit can be moved only by trained personnel by complying with the following safety
conditions:
• Move the unit by considering the conditions for the movement that are indicated in detail
in the paragraph 3.1.
• Don't move and use the unit on surfaces with inclination higher than 5°
• Only use the proper handles to move the unit.
• Avoid collision with obstacles.
• After positioning the unit, engage the parking brakes.

1.4. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

This apparatus is in compliance with the standard IEC 60601-1-2 that defines the max.
allowed emission levels from electronic devices and the required immunity from interference
caused by externally generated electromagnetic fields.
It is not, however, possible to exclude radio signals coming from transmitters such as mobile
phones or similar mobile radio devices. These and other transmitting devices, including
those in compliance with the EMC standards, may influence the proper functioning of
medical apparatus when used in proximity and with a relatively high transmitting power.
Therefore, the use of radio equipment proximity to electronically controlled systems must be
avoided in order to eliminate any interference risk.
Any transmissions by mobile radio equipment must be avoided.

Mobile phones must be switched off in zones close to the unit.
These rules must be applied when the unit is switched on (that is to say
connected to the mains and ready for use).
1.5. Protection against ionizing radiation
Before any x-ray exposure, ensure that all the necessary protective
precautions have been taken.
During the use of x-rays, personnel present in the room must comply with the following rules
concerning protection against ionizing radiation:
When necessary, use protective shielding against radiation in addition to the shielding
already provided on the unit.
Use protective aprons containing a material equivalent to 0,35mm of lead. Material of this
nature reduces radiation at 50kV by 99,95% and at 100kV by 94,5%.
The best protection against radiation is distance. It is therefore recommended that you stay
as far as possible from the x-ray source and the exposure target. For this purpose, use all of
the cable length provided for the foot-switch.
Avoid walking or standing directly in the x-ray beam.
Always use the smallest possible field of exposure by closing properly the collimator
diaphragms. The scatter dose produced depends principally on the volume of the irradiated
object.
Never modify or disconnect the safety circuits or devices designed to

prevent accidental exposures.
Collimation system adjusted to a field of 30 x

30 cm2 at 1 m from the x-ray tube focus.
Exposure parameters: 100 kVp and 1 mA.
Values normalized to 1 min. of fluoroscopy
(µGy/min).
Equivalent water phantom 30x30x20cm.
The complete isodose measures are included

into the report 035-07 ISO KERMA MAPPING
(cod.200394) attached to the unit
documentation

1.6. General disposal

Sias S.p.A. produces radiological systems that are advanced in terms of safety and
environmental protection. Assuming that the unit is properly used, there is no risk to people
or the environment.
In order to comply with applicable safety requirements, it is necessary to use materials that
may be harmful to the environment (for example: monobloc oil, protective lead, monitor
kinescope, boards and electronic components). Therefore, when necessary, proper disposal
methods, according to the regulations of the country where the unit is installed, should be
followed.
For this reason, the unit may not be disposed of along with industrial or
domestic waste and must be regarded as hazardous waste.
This symbol indicates that the waste of electrical and electronic equipment must
not be disposed as unsorted municipal waste and must be collected separately.
The proper differentiated collection for the following start of the unit disused to the
recycle, treatment and disposal, compatible with the environment, aid to prevent
possible negative effects on the environment and health and it favours the recycle
of materials that compose the unit.
The abusive disposal of the product from the user implies the application of
administrative sanctions according to the Standards in force of the unit installation
country.
