Protect the phosphor storage plates from sun-
❯
light and ultraviolet light.
Store phosphor storage plates in a barrier
envelope or intraoral/extraoral plate protector
of proper size.
Phosphor storage plates will be pre-exposed
❯
on exposure to natural radiation and stray x-ray
radiation. Protect erased or exposed phosphor
storage plates from X-ray beams.
If the phosphor storage plate has been stored
for longer than one week, erase the phosphor
storage plate prior to use.
Do not store phosphor storage plates under
❯
hot or moist conditions. Note the ambient con-
ditions (see "4 Technical data").
When used properly, phosphor storage plates
❯
can be exposed, read and erased several hun-
dred times provided there is no mechanical
damage.
Replace the phosphor storage plate if there are
any signs of damage, e.g. protective layer is
damaged or visible scratches, that could inter-
fere with the diagnosis.
Phosphor storage plates that have a produc-
❯
tion or packaging defect will be replaced by Air
Techniques in the same quantity.
Clean phosphor storage plates properly (see
❯
"12 Cleaning and disinfection").

11 Operation
CAUTION
Image data on the phosphor storage
plate is not permanent
The image data is altered by light, natu-
ral X-ray radiation and scattered X-ray
radiation. This will lead to a reduction in
diagnostic information and clarity.
Read the image data within 30 minutes
❯
of exposure.
Never handle exposed phosphor stor-
❯
age plates without the barrier enve-
lope.
Do not subject an exposed phosphor
❯
storage plate to X-ray radiation before
and during the scanning process. Do
not X-ray during the scanning process
if the unit is in the same room as the X-
ray tube.
Phosphor storage plates must only be
❯
read using a phosphor storage plate
scanner that is approved by Air Techni-
ques.
11.1 X-ray
The procedure is described using a size 2
PSP as an example.
