X-ray equipment if not properly used may cause injury. Accordingly, the instructions herein 
contained should be thoroughly read and understood by everyone who will use the equipment 
before you attempt to place this equipment in operation. GE Healthcare, will be glad to assist and 
cooperate in placing this equipment in use.

Although this apparatus incorporates a high degree of protection against x-radiation other than the 
useful beam, no practical design of equipment can provide complete protection. Nor can any 
practical design compel the operator to take adequate precautions to prevent the possibility of any 
persons carelessly exposing themselves or others to radiation.

It is important that everyone having anything to do with x-radiation be properly trained and fully 
acquainted with the recommendations of the National Council on Radiation Protection and 
Measurements as published in NCRP Reports available from NCRP Publications, 7910 
Woodmont Avenue, Room 1016, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, and of the International Commission 
on Radiation Protection, and take adequate steps to protect against injury.

The equipment is sold with the understanding that GE Healthcare, its agents, and representatives 
have no responsibility for injury or damage which may result from improper use of the equipment.

Various protective material and devices are available. It is urged that such materials or devices be 
used.
