2.4.2 Clean-up and Personal Hygiene
After servicing the slip-ring component and the area, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and
water. Dispose of personal protection equipment and rags properly.
Place all materials that contain brush debris (such as the HEPA vacuum cleaner filter, paper
toweling, gloves, and old brush assemblies) in a sealed plastic bag and return to the GE Recycling
Center:

2.4.3 Oils (Tube, Tank and Hydraulic)
Oil resistant gloves should be worn when working with oil or performing clean-up of it. Dispose of
chemicals, rags and materials in accordance with hospital and local government environmental and
safety requirements.
2.4.4 Lead
Wear gloves and wash hands after handling lead. The CT detector uses a small amount of lead
tape and a trace amount of Chromium (Cr) in its construction. The lead tape is located on the
corners of the detector. Detectors can be returned to GEMS for proper disposal.
2.4.5 Heat Sources
The X-ray tube casing, plumbing and radiator can become hot enough to cause minor burns if not
allowed to cool sufficiently. Please allow sufficient time for this equipment to cool adequately before
performing any service.
