1.9. Application and final destination
ARCOVIS 3000 S/R is a "mobile x-ray unit with image intensifier system" and it has been
designed to be used for diagnosis. It must be operated exclusively by qualified, trained
personnel who have been informed of the risks linked to the use of ionizing radiation.
The system does not belong to the category of equipment designed for continuous
operation.
The system is not used in contact with the patient; however, accidental contact of
some unit parts with the patient and the operator is possible.
Contact with the patient is non-invasive.
Contact with the operator is strictly for reasons linked to the use of the equipment
(normal operation).
The unit is suitable to be used for x-ray examinations, and in particular for radioscopy,
radiography and diagnosis dedicated to:
•
Traumatology
•
Pediatrics
•
Simple interventional radiology
•
Pace Maker implantation
•
Operating theater
•
Intensive care
•
Respiratory system
•
Skeletal structure
This x-ray unit must not be used in areas where danger of explosion
exists.
For use in operating theater, it is necessary to use a sterile coverings to
protect the arm-monobloc-intensifier group from liquids seepage and a
footswitch type IP-X8 (like the standard one).
The patient support
must
not have an equivalent filtration higher than
2mmAl.
The patient
must
be placed as close as possible to the image intensifier.
The unit is available in two versions:
ARCOVIS 3000 S with stationary anode monobloc, successively named
“Stationary anode version”,
ARCOVIS 3000 R with rotating anode monobloc, successively named “Rotating
anode version”.
If not else specified, the technical characteristics are intended available for
both versions.
