Recommended Action
Verify:
– Power line is plugged into the receptacle or connected to the main circuit breaker?
– Power is available at the receptacle or the main circuit breaker?
– The remote ON/OFF switch on the System Console is in the ON position?
Are any error messages displayed?
– Motion artifacts?
Relax the patient. Make the patient as comfortable as possible. Check once again for
proper positioning.
– Insufficient contrast? Decrease kVp.
Check the dark room, film expiration date, chemicals and developer temperature.
Verify:
– Proper chamber selected?
– Chamber connected?
– Film speed correct?
If the film is too dark, decrease density.
If the film is too light, increase density.
When AEC mode is enabled, exposure time/termination is controlled via
ionization chamber sensing circuits. In addition, a back-up time is programmed
into the system to help prevent excessive patient dose in the event of an AEC
system malfunction. If the exposure time equals the back-up time, exposure will
be terminated and a fault message will appear across the bottom of the screen.
To clear the fault, press the function key by the flashing FAULT RESET field. If
the fault persists, the system should be used in manual mode until the fault can
be isolated/corrected.
