WARNING: After taking X-rays, the high voltage cables can retain a lethal charge, even if you power down
the system. Even though the contacts are recessed, high voltages can arc several inches from
their terminals if the cables are removed from the connector wells. Use caution when
disconnecting high voltage cables even when the power is turned off. If you remove these
connections, immediately discharge their contacts against the high voltage tank case (ground).

Contents Installation Service Schematics Periodic Maintenance Illustrated Parts

UroView 2800 Periodic Maintenance Procedure

WARNING: Use caution when working near the generator and its connections. Remove metal rings and
watchbands that may inadvertently come in contact with the terminals. Severe skin burns could
result if such metal articles were shorted across the generator input terminals.

X-radiation Exposure
The X-ray tube assembly produces X-radiation when energized. Never operate this device without X-ray shielding in place. Use
lead shielding and draping to protect personnel.

WARNING: Lead aprons, radiation monitors, and appropriate radiation shields must be utilized for the
protection of all personnel in the vicinity while performing tests. Living human anatomy should
never be used as a phantom or demonstration aid. Do not produce radiation in hallways.

Dose Area Product Calibration
The following paragraphs explain how to use the Remote Utilities Tool to calculate the Dose Area Product (DAP). DAP is a
calculation of surface dose at a given distance from the X-ray tube multiplied by the surface area receiving the dose. DAP is
equal for all planes that are perpendicular to the beam axis.

Note: DAP is a measurement of radiation from the X-ray tube, and does not represent the radiation being absorbed by the
patient.
