Handling the AGFA CR Detectors, Plates and Cassettes
Cleaning the Cassettes of the CR Detectors, Plates and
Cassettes
When an increased number of dust particles is still visible in the image despite
regular cleaning, you should clean the cassette.
Clean the inside of the cassette thoroughly. The recommended procedure is to
tap the cassette to remove dust and dirt particles.
When necessary, you can clean the outside of the cassette, with a lint-free
cloth dampened (not dripping) with a solution of mild soap in water. Wipe
dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

CAUTION:
Before doing a damp cleaning of the cassette, remove the image
plate.
CAUTION:
Never pour liquids directly on the surface of the cassette, as
liquids could enter and damage the cassette.
CAUTION:
Be sure that all surfaces are thoroughly dry before returning the
cassettes to use.
CAUTION:
Never use alcohol based cleaners or disinfectants (ethanol,
isopropanol; n-propanol,...) as these chemicals will cause
damage to the cassette and the digitizer.
CAUTION:
Do not use AGFA CR Phosphor Plate Cleaner, PROSAT wipes,
AGFA CURIX screen cleaner or any other screen cleaners or
alcohol containing liquid on the cassette surface, as this can
cause damage to the cassette.

fluids, protect the cassette with a clean protective bag.
