Wireless Remote Control

Important information

The functions of the Wireless Remote Control are activated via an RF transmitter.

The Wireless Remote Control shall be operated in close vicinity to the patient

table only and with full visibility to the patient on the table.

The batteries shall always be sufficiently charged.

The Wireless Remote Control can interfere with life supporting devices.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the user´s authority to operate the equipment.

The Wireless Remote Control may be interfered with by other equipment, includ-

ing portable and mobile RF communication equipment, even if such equipment

meets the applicable emissions requirements.

Note The Wireless Remote Control may be interfered by other equipment, including

portable and fixed RF communication equipment, even if such equipment meets

the applicable emission requirements.

The operator must assure that other wireless devices in the 2.4 GHz ISM band

should not be operated in the vicinity of appr. 5 m around the X-ray system.

System movements may be interrupted sporadically.

Please observe and verify normal operation of the Wireless Remote Control

rior to using it.

Caution

Wireless Remote Control too close to a life supporting device!

Interference with life supporting device and possible mal functioning

 Make sure to keep a separation distance of larger than 7 cm between the Wire-

less Remote Control and the life supporting device.

 In case of interference with other equipment increase the distance between in-

terfering devices.

Caution

Mechanical or personal damage

Emergency stop interrupts movements immediately

 Use remote control only when there is visual and accoustic contact with

Addendum Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. this device may not cause interference and 2. this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. The Wireless Remote Control must emit electromagnetic energy in order to perform its intended function. Nearby electronic equipment may be affected. Note 2 / 12 Use the remote control only inside the examination room. DRAFT AXB4-310.621.01.02.

Wireless Remote Control Operation Display area Operation area Selection area Wireless Remote Control (example) The remote control is active in a range of appr. 5 m around the table/stand, where the receiver is mounted. If the remote control is in a wider range of the table, it may lose contact with the receiver and will then turn into an inactive mode. DRAFT AXB4-310.621.01.02.

Addendum Display area There are 3 LEDs showing the status of the remote control. Green LED on: Remote control is on and is in active mode. Green LED off: Remote control is inactive. – It is too far away from the table – The x-ray system is switched off – The batteries are completely discharged – The remote control is in “sleep mode”. Press a button swiftly to activate it again. Orange LED on: An operation button is being pressed.

Wireless Remote Control Selection of collimator Operation area Note On the backside of the remote control there is a dead-man switch. To execute an operation with a button of the operation area you have to press the dead-man switch simultaneously. As soon as you release the dead-man switch, the current operation is stopped. Dead-man switch Note All following operation directions only apply if the user is standing in front of the tube unit.

Addendum Charging Station The Wireless Remote Control is plugged in the Charging Station for charging the batteries. It is recommended to charge the batteries every day after deployment. Charging Station If the Wireless Remote Control needs charging during a patient procedure, simply plug it in the Charging Station. Note Never use another charging device than the Charging Station delivered with the Wireless Remote Control.

Wireless Remote Control Cleaning / Disinfection / Sterilization Cleaning General Before cleaning the system, shut down the system properly. After each examination Danger of infection! Caution Use gloves to avoid infection. Clean all contaminated parts and all parts which may (or have come) into con- tact with the patient. Units Caution Only use water or a lukewarm diluted household cleaning agent solution.
PAGE 10
Addendum Accessory parts Please note that for some accessory parts, special instructions on cleaning are given in the corresponding chapters. If no special reference is given, then the following applies generally: Use a lukewarm detergent solution and a soft cloth for slight contamination. Remove major contamination first with a cloth soaked in alcohol, then wipe off with clear water. Remove blood spots best of all with cold water. Remove contrast medium spots best of all with warm water.
