Electronics
The primary function of the readout electronics is to convert the charge into digital image data. This data
is then transmitted to the system through a wireless link or an ethernet connection.
Physical Appearance / Finish
The detector unit is designed to be installable as 1) an external patient access/contact surface and 2) a
non-external patient access/contact surface.
Detector surfaces have been treated with a finish to allow a smooth and easily cleanable surface. Care
shall be taken to protect the surface from scratches.
Nameplates and Markings
A label on the back of the detector contains the GE part number. Refer to
Back of the Digital Detector (p. 7-5)
Detector Handling
The device contains sensitive electronics that are susceptible to vibration, shock, drop, and impact.
When handling the device, use the handle and/or use both hands to manipulate the detector into the
correct anatomical position for the exam.
CAUTION
Do not swing the device into hard surfaces, especially corners, as this may scratch
the cover, create image quality artifacts, or damage the electronics inside.
Special Instructions if the detector is dropped: Inspect the exterior for any possible cracks. Run Detec-
tor Check to test the detector. It will be clear if the electronics are not functioning. Other possible failures
may include communication problems, image quality degradation, and loss of power. If any or all of these
occur, call your GE Service Representative.
Do not drop objects onto the detector.
Do not use the detector as a stretcher to lift a patient.
Do not drop the detector at any time.
Do not prop the device on an edge, against wall or bed. Keep detector in cradle, bracket, or other GE-
supplied container.
