For a complete overview, observe the instructions for use of the particular units used. This includes the labels applied on the equipment as well as the instructions for use documents. In the image reconstruction system IRS, you can find a warning label indicating the risk of electric shock. Do not remove the cover or the back of the IRS. If required service must be performed by qualified service personnel. Some important safety labels can be found on the table with slight variations in the location depending on the table model. For example, the maximum load label of somatom exsite multipurpose table shows the maximum allowed working load must not exceed 307 kilograms or 676 pounds. The standard table is limited to 227 kilograms or 500 pounds. Please also check the maximum load for your table in the operator manual. The caution leg injuries label. In this area there is an increased risk that body parts can get pinched between table and floor. Take care when lowering the patient table to avoid injury to body parts and do not place any objects underneath the patient table. The warning crushing hazard for foot label. In this area there is an increased risk that body parts can get pinched between patient table and floor. Take care when lowering the patient table to avoid injury to body parts. The warning crushing of Hands label indicates an increased risk that hands can get pinched in these areas. When the table moves in and out of the gantry. Another relevant safety label can be found in the siderail of the table. The maximum load label indicates the maximum permissible working load of the patient. Tableside rail must not exceed 15 kilograms or 33 pound. The physiological measurement module label is located next to the PPME connectors on the patient table. Each symbol in the physiological measurement module label has a specific definition. This symbol reminds the user to observe the ECG socket, channel selection and BFF applied part. This symbol indicates the EKG socket where the EKG cable is connected to. This symbol indicates the channel selection button next to the EKG socket. With this button you can manually change the selected EKG channel. The scanner accessories might have warning labels attached. For example, in the Tiltable head holder, warning labels indicate possible collision points of the patient with the gantry. In the knee support warning, labels remind of the increased risk that the gantry might collide with the legs of the patient. In accessories like the tabletop extension or the infusion bottle holder, labels indicate the maximum permissible load. For example, 500 newtons or approximately 50 kilograms for the tabletop extension and 20 newtons per hook or approximately 2 kilograms per hook for the infusion bottle holder. For additional information on these and other labels, observe the instructions for use of the particular units used. This includes the labels applied on the equipment as well as the instructions for use documents.
