Disinfecting the Cassettes
To disinfect the cassettes of the CR Plates and Cassettes, use only disinfectants
approved by Agfa (see list of approved disinfectants). If you plan to use other
disinfectants, approval of AGFA is needed before use, as most disinfectants can
damage the cassette. UV disinfection is also not allowed.
For detailed information on how to apply disinfection, refer to the instructions
for use that are delivered with the disinfectant.
Refer to the Agfa website for specifications on the disinfectants that have been
found compatible with the cassette material and can be used on the outer
surface of the cassette.

Use of protective plastic envelope
If the cassette is used in an environment where disinfection is required or
where it may get into contact with blood or other body fluids, use plastic
envelopes to protect the cassette from direct patient contact. Make sure that
the plastic envelope is not wrinkled to avoid the creases showing in the image.
