 ATTENTION
LES APPAREILS À RAYONS X SONT DANGEREUX À LA FOIS POUR LE PATIENT ET POUR LE MANIPULATEUR
SI LES MESURES DE PROTECTION NE SONT PAS STRICTEMENT APPLIQUEES
Bien que cet appareil soit construit selon les normes de sécurité les plus sévères, la source de rayonnement X représente un danger
lorsque le manipulateur est non qualifié ou non averti. Une exposition excessive au rayonnement X entraîne des dommages à l’organisme.
Par conséquent, toutes les précautions doivent être prises pour éviter que les personnes non autorisées ou non qualifiées utilisent cet
appareil créant ainsi un danger pour les autres et pour elles–mêmes.
Avant chaque manipulation, les personnes qualifiées et autorisées à se servir de cet appareil doivent se renseigner sur les mesures de
protection établies par la Commission Internationale de la Protection Radiologique, Annales 26 : Recommandations de la Commission
Internationale sur la Protection Radiologique et les normes nationales en vigueur.

WARNING
X–RAY EQUIPMENT IS DANGEROUS TO BOTH PATIENT AND OPERATOR
UNLESS MEASURES OF PROTECTION ARE STRICTLY OBSERVED
Though this equipment is built to the highest standards of electrical and mechanical safety, the useful x–ray beam becomes a source of
danger in the hands of the unauthorized or unqualified operator. Excessive exposure to x–radiation causes damage to human tissue.
Therefore, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent unauthorized or unqualified persons from operating this equipment or exposing
themselves or others to its radiation.
Before operation, persons qualified and authorized to operate this equipment should be familiar with the Recommendations of the Interna-
tional Commission on Radiological Protection, contained in Annals Number 26 of the ICRP, and with applicable national standards.

ATENCION
LOS APARATOS DE RAYOS X SON PELIGROSOS PARA EL PACIENTE Y EL MANIPULADOR
CUANDO LAS NORMAS DE PROTECCION NO ESTAN OBSERVADAS
Aunque este aparato está construido según las normas de seguridad más estrictas, la radiación X constituye un peligro al ser manipulado
por personas no autorizadas o incompetentes. Una exposición excesiva a la radiación X puede causar daños al organismo.
Por consiguiente, se deberán tomar todas las precauciones necesarias para evitar que las personas incompetentes o no autorizadas
utilicen este aparato, lo que sería un peligro para los demás y para sí mismas.
Antes de efectuar las manipulaciones, las personas habilitadas y competentes en el uso de este aparato, deberán informarse sobre las
normas de protección fijadas por la Comisión Internacional de la Protección Radiológica, Anales No 26: Recomendaciónes de la Comi-
sión Internacional sobre la Protección Radiológica y normas nacionales.

ACHTUNG
RÖNTGENAPPARATE SIND EINE GEFAHR FÜR PATIENTEN SOWIE BEDIENUNGSPERSONAL,
WENN DIE GELTENDEN SICHERHEITSVORKEHRUNGEN NICHT GENAU BEACHTET WERDEN
Dieser Apparat entspricht in seiner Bauweise strengsten elektrischen und mechanischen Sichereitsnormen, doch in den Händen unbe-
fugter oder unqualifizierter Personen wird er zu einer Gefahrenquelle. Übermäßige Röntgenbestrahlung ist für den menschlichen Orga-
nismus schädlich.
Deswegen sind hinreichende Vorsichtsmaßnahmen erforderlich, um zu verhindern, daßunbefugte oder unqualifizierte Personen solche

4-4 ECG Monitors

The monitor support has been designed to accept several kinds of physiological monitor.
The EKG monitor may only be mounted to the platform on a tray, not in the interior of the frame. The
maximum allowable weight of this monitor is 35 kg and minimum is 21 kg. The maximum width
considered is 50 cm. The maximum depth allowed for the EKG monitor is 59 cm. The maximum height
forthe monitor is 52 cm.
The specific monitors under considerations are the following:

Monitor Name Dimensions (W*H*D) Weight

SONY 21” GDM 5402 50*50*48 32 kg
PPG/Hellige EKG 43*52*48 cm 32 kg
Marquette EKG 48*49*49 cm 32 kg
HP M1234A EKG 45*50*54 cm 31.9 kg

Siemens 17” EKG 40*37*46 cm 21.5 kg
Siemens 20” EKG 48*43*51 cm 34 kg

Monitors not specifically on this list will have to fall within the parameters outlined in the paragraph
above. Since it is impossible to predict what size screws are appropriate for mounting of every type of
EKG monitor. If any monitor requires screws of a different size for mounting, it is assumed that the
supplier of that monitor will supply the necessary screws.

2 STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS

2-1 Floor requirements

Not applicable.

2-2 Ceiling requirements

The stationary rails for monitor XT Suspension support a three monitor support including monitors.
D Rail mounting
Attach stationary rails to structural steel with through–bolts in concrete ceilings. Do not use screw
anchors in direct tension.
Mount stationary rails directly to the ceiling slab or to flush–mounted Unistrut or Halfen structure. In
higher rooms with false ceiling, mount stationary rails to rigid vertical members hung from ceiling
slab.
Securing a supplementary channel to the bottom of the vertical members and mounting the
stationary rails to this channel can greatly reduce the number of vertical members. The stationary
rail support structure must be leveled before installation can begin. Do not assume that any
support structure is level within specified tolerances, particularly after removing suspensions from
an existing room.

11
GE Medical Systems 3 Monitor XT Suspension frame

For GEMS–Am:

Note: Special 1/2–13 bolts in US Standard for mounting stationary rails are furnished with each
pair of rails for XT suspension. In other countries, for metric standard, they are supplied by
the local Field Service. The bolts are case hardened ”Whiz–lock” flange bolts, requiring no
separate flat washer or lockwasher. Bolts of this type must be used to obtain adequate
clearances and permit unrestricted longitudinal movement of the bridge along the rails:
substitution is not recommended.
The furnished bolts are 1–1/2” long (GE part No. 59136). For lengths other than this, contact:
MacLean–Fogg Lock Nut Compagny
