Warning and safety information
Operating Instructions and Installation
XIOS USB
ESD protective measures
Medical electrical equipment is subject to special precautionary measures
regarding EMC. It must be installed and operated as specified in the
document “Installation Requirements”.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment may interfere with
medical electrical equipment. Therefore, the use of mobile wireless phones in
practice or hospital environments must be prohibited.
Allocation of acquisition system to patient
Allocation of acquisition system to
patient
Within the scope of practice operations, unambiguous allocation of the
acquisition system to the examinee must be ensured to guarantee reliable
allocation of X-ray exposures to the patient data saved by SIDEXIS!
Hygiene information
Hygiene information
The protective sleeves and disposable holders must be exchanged and all
sterilizable accessories must be resterilized for each new patient to prevent
any transmission of infective agents which might cause serious illnesses.
Suitable hygienic measures must be taken to prevent cross contamination
among patients, users and other persons.
Disturbance of electronic devices worn on the patient’s body
Disturbance of electronic devices
worn on the patient’s body
To prevent the malfunctioning of electronic devices and data memories, e.g.
radio-controlled watches, telephone cards etc., these objects must be
removed prior to the X-ray exposure.

Training
We therefore recommend that all persons working with this system be
instructed on the significance of this warning label. Furthermore, they also
should receive training in the physics of electrostatic discharges which can
occur in the practice and the destruction of electronic components which may
result if such components are touched by electrostatically charged USERS.
The content of this training is explained in the Chapter "About the physics of
electrostatic charges".
2.2
About the physics of electrostatic
charges
What is an electrostatic charge?
An electrostatic charge is a voltage field on and in an object (e.g. a human
body) which is protected against conductance to ground potential by a
nonconductive layer (e.g. a shoe sole).
