General Description 2. General Description SKR 4000 is a cassette-size wireless X ray direct digitizer based on amorphous silicon thin- film transistor technologies. It is developed to provide the highest quality of radiographic image, which contains an active matrix of 2304×2800 with 150um pixel pitch. The greatest feature is SKR 4000 supports wireless communication between panel and Workstation.
IEC60601-2-63. 2.5. Essential performance According to the SKR 4000 series intended use and the result of risk management, getting imaging and function of data transmission is defined as essential performance. Getting qualified dark image proves that essential performance does not influence intended use.
Otherwise, the image is prone to abnormal light lines. 2.7. Product Components SKR 4000 comes with both DC power supply and battery package. Once powered on, it would build a connection with Workstation through Ethernet cable (only for service) or Wireless connection.
