Together w ith instruments fromRTI Group AB it is to be used for independent
service and quality control, as w ell as measurements of kerma, kerma rate, kVp,
tube current, exposure time, luminance, and illuminance w ithin limitations stated
below .
If installed according to accompanying documents, the product is intended to be
used together w ith all diagnostic X-ray equipment except for:
- therapeutical X-ray sources.
- X-ray equipment w ith tube potential below 20 kV.
- X-ray equipment on which the instrument cannot be mounted properly, e.g.
equipment where the beamfield size is narrow er than the active part of the
detector.
- specific types of X-ray equipment listed in the instructions for use or in additional
information fromthe manufacturer.
With the X-ray installation in stand-by conditions w ithout patients present, the

manufacturer's service teams, and other professionals w ith similar tasks and
competencies. The operator needs a short training to be able to use the product as
intended. This training can be achieved either by careful study of the manual,
studies of the built-in help function in measurement softw are or, on request, in a
course provided by the manufacturer.
The product is intended to be used inside X-ray rooms ready for clinical use and
can safely be left sw itched on and in any measuring mode in the vicinity of
patients.
The product is NOT intended to be used:
- for direct control of diagnostic X-ray equipment performance during irradiation of
a patient.
- so that patients or other unqualified persons can change settings of operating
parameters during and immediately before and after measurements.
