Handling the AGFA CR Detectors, Plates and Cassettes
Cleaning Image Plates of the CR Detectors, Plates and Cassettes
The inner lining of the CR detectors is made of fleece. This ensures a high
degree of protection against electrostatic charging and dust collection on the
image plates. Nonetheless, it is recommended to clean the image plates of the
CR HD5.x detectors and CR MD 4.xR plates and cassettes quarterly using the
following procedure.
The CR MM3.xR image plate and the image plate of a CR HM5.x Mammo
detector requires a more frequent cleaning: at least once a week or after every
200 cycles (whatever comes first).
1. Open the shutter of the cassette with the dedicated key.

WARNING:
To avoid any deformation always store the image plate
