ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION This equipment contains certain materials and chemical compounds incidental to the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment, and improper "end-of-life" disposal of such equipment can result in environmental contamination. Therefore, this equipment should not be disposed of as ordinary household waste, but should instead be delivered to a designated electrical and electronic waste disposal or recycling center. For further information on disposing of electrical and electronic waste, contact the cognizant authority within the jurisdiction.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EN 60601-1-2:2007/IEC 606011-2:2007) The Model QT-730 Fixed Radiographic Table (hereinafter know as the Radiographic Table) is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. As such, the Radiographic Table must be installed and put into service according to the information provided in the accompanying Service Manual. Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment. It is therefore recommended that the operation of equipment of this type, such as mobile telephones, cordless microphones and other similar mobile radio equipment, be restricted from the vicinity of this device. Use of accessories, transducers and cables, other than those specified in the accompanying documents, may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the equipment.

Guidance and manufacturer's declaration - electromagnetic immunity NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people. a

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Radiographic Table is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the HF Series of X-ray generators (including TechVision option) should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the Radiographic Table. b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 kHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

Chapter 1 Introduction

OVERVIEW This manual provides information for installing, operating, and maintaining Quantum Medical Imaging's Fixed, Non-Float-Top, Radiographic Table, Model QT-730 (hereinafter referred to as the Radiographic Table). It is imperative that all safety procedures described in this manual be strictly adhered to in order to ensure the safety of both patient and user. NOTE: The user should read the manual in its entirety prior to using the equipment described herein. The Manual should be kept in a location near the equipment and readily accessible to those that operate it. The key features of the Radiographic Table are as follows: •

Large tabletop area (74 inches long and 28 inches wide) provides an ample examination platform

•

Typical patient-to-film plane distance of only 2.3 to 2.9 inches provides improved radiography with minimum magnification

•

Compact, low-maintenance design

•

"Enclosed" base design (i.e., welded-on sheet metal covers surround the table base)

•

650 lbs. maximum patient load capacity

•

Accepts a fixed grid cabinet or reciprocating bucky (with or without ACL)

INTENDED USE The Fixed, Non-Float-Top, Radiographic Table, Model QT-730 is intended for use as a patient support device during the performance of radiographic examinations. NOTE: Most tables are shipped with a Receptor Cabinet (i.e., fixed grid cabinet or bucky) factory installed. However, the table may be ordered without a Receptor Cabinet.
