Calibrations Gain Tuning Calibration Process for Kodak QC Version 2.5 Introduction This section describes how to calibrate the Point-of-Care CR 120/140 System with Kodak QC 2.5 software versions to the X-ray machine used to achieve optimum image quality in the scanned images. The PoC scanners undergo tuning process before leaving the factory, but should be finely tuned during installation in order to set the unit to the nominal point of operation.
Set Image and Diagnostic settings [7] Load the cassette and scan using the existing PM Gain value. [8] Measure the pixel value in the center of the field. Measure Pixel Value in Center of Field [9] Change the PM Gain to get a pixel value (APV) of 3200 ±50. To increase the Pixel Value, decrease the PM Gain.
Calibrations [10] Click on icon to open the Save Settings dialog; check Save PM and Save to all organs, then click [OK]. Save PM settings [11] Go to Settings>Anatomical tab, check that the PM values are set to the value that you saved in the above step;...
Adjustments Section 5: Adjustments Auto-loop Solenoid Adjustment Introduction If an Auto-loop solenoid has been installed in the system, it might require adjustment. The following error message appears if the mechanism is in need of adjustment. Loop solenoid error message The adjustment procedure is comprised of two sub-procedures which are intended to attain the correct functioning of the solenoid during its action: •...
[3] Go to Technician>Settings>Diagnostics mode and measure the voltage peak during operation. The voltage should peak to 15VDC for approximately 1.5 seconds. Mechanical Adjustment Procedure [1] Loosen the solenoid holder screws on the Key Assembly. [2] Insert two (50 x 21 x 0.4 mm) plastic jigs between the pressure lever and the assembly wall as shown in the figure below.
Adjustments Screen Guide Adjustment (non Auto-loop) This procedure is performed to adjust the screen guide position in order to facilitate the screen insertion into the system. It is intended for systems which have not undergone Auto-loop solenoid upgrade. Tools Required Screen Guide Testing Tool (PGTL) (SK000017) Screen Guide tool Adjustment Procedure...
[4] Check that the Screen Pusher is in backward position and that the Loader Pin is up. Loader Position Screen Pusher in backward position Loader Pin up [5] Disconnect the flex cable from the Key assembly and move it aside to prevent damage.damage Disconnect the Flex Cable [6] Release the two Allen screws attaching the silver bracket.
Adjustments [7] Loosen the two Allen screws attaching the L Bracket and holding the Screen Guide. Do not remove the screws. Loosen the L Bracket screws [8] Insert each side of the PGTL between the tray and the Screen Guide. The correct position of the Screen Guide is when the GO side of the PGTL touches the Screen Guide, and the NO GO side does not touch the Screen Guide when inserted.
Loader Pin and Loader Pusher Adjustments Tools Required Trolley Roller Gauge (SK000024) Tray Gauge Go - No Go (SK000016) 2.5 mm Allen wrench Tray Gauge Trolley Roller Gauge Loader Pin Adjustment [1] Turn ON the scanner. [2] Go to Settings>Diagnostics tab. Diagnostics Screen Loader Control [3] Click Backward <<...
Adjustments [5] Insert the Tray Gauge into the tray entrance and position the Go slot around the loader pin. The gauge should pass smoothly over the loader pin. This determines that the pin is not too high. Checking Pin Height (Go) [6] Insert the Tray Gauge into the tray entrance and position the No Go slot next to loader pin.
Loader Pusher Adjustment [1] Remain in Settings>Diagnostics tab. [2] Click on the Erase Lamps to light the Erase Lamps. Diagnostics Screen -activate erase lamps [3] Insert the Trolley Roller Gauge into the tray entrance so that it will be between the pusher and the top roller. The Go side (0.3mm) should pass through smoothly, the No Go side (0.4 mm) should not pass through.
Adjustments Roller Sensor Adjustment Tools Required 0.25 mm and 0.40 mm Roller Sensor Adjustment Screens (SK000041) Adjustment Procedure [1] Switch ON the system and wait for it to complete initialization. [2] Insert the 0.4 mm Roller Sensor Adjustment Screen into the drum. (The center of the screen must be at the center of the Screen Guide.
[3] Turn the rollers manually at least 360 degrees so that the screen roles between the rollers and check that Sensor 509 is activated. The Sensor must remain active while the rollers turn 360 degrees. Screen inserted between the rollers [4] Loosen the Adjusting screw’s locking bolt, and adjust the screw so that J509 sensor LED becomes inactive, then turn the screw in the opposite direction until the sensor LED lights up (is inactive).
Preventive Maintenance Section 7: Preventive Maintenance Cleaning the Rollers Introduction Clean the rollers periodically to remove dust and small particles. The roller-cleaning device enables you to clean the rollers that feed the screen from the cassette into the unit. The cleaning device includes the following items: •...
Using the Cleaning Plate to Clean the Rollers [1] Remove any cassettes and screens from the unit. [2] Open the Kodak QC software. [3] In the User Interface, click Setup. [4] Click Login The User tab opens. User Tab [5] In the User tab, click Prepare. The following message appears: Insert Cleaning Tray Message [6] Insert the Cleaning Tray, making sure that it locks in place.
Preventive Maintenance Removing the Protective Strips [8] Remove the protective paper from the cleaning plate to expose the adhesive. Inserting the Cleaning Tray [9] Place the Cleaning Plate on the tray. Make sure the Cleaning Plate is placed in the correct direction, as specified on the plate.
Pull Out Cleaning Plate Message [11] Click OK and remove the plate. Disconnecting the Cleaning Tray [12] Disconnect the cleaning tray by completely pulling out the knob underneath the front tray until it comes to a stop. The unit performs a reset (homing cycle). Note If the homing is not performed, turn the unit off and then back on.
Preventive Maintenance Cleaning the Phosphor Screens General Failure to routinely clean the screens with a recommended solution may create the following result: • The screen may not move smoothly from the cassette into the reader, causing an error message. • The screen may not fully return to the cassette at the end of the cycle, preventing the cassette from latching; no error message appears.
Removing the screen [1] Slide the edge of the Extraction Tool (provided) over the back edge of the cassette. Pull the tool down until it enters the square slots in the back of the cassette. Extraction Tool Extraction Tool Installing the Extraction Tool [2] Hold the cassette horizontally.
