As for previous cassettes, cassettes in use should be stored vertically in a
rack.
In order to avoid problems with cassette conveying operation inside the

Make sure that there is no paper clipped into the memo clip on the back
plate.
• • • •
Make sure that there are no foreign objects such as clips between the front
and back plates.
• • • •
In order to ensure that the back plate properly adheres to the
• • • •
absorption plate, check that there is nothing (e.g. tape) adhered to the back
plate.
• • • •
Ensure that the bar code has not become soiled.
Disposal must be carried out by following the local regulations in each
country.
• • • •
If the protective layer on the plate is damaged and the photo-stimulated fluo-
rescent coating leaking, be careful to handle the plate so that none of the
photo-stimulated fluorescent coating comes into contact with the body.
