GENERAL USE AND MAINTENANCE OF WIRELESS DIGITAL DETECTORS, OPTIONS AND

ACCESSORIES

Note

OM-0481R1

The action of the Air-Conditioning or Heating may produce condensation in the

equipment, wait until the condensation evaporates before performing an

exposure. As a general rule, raise or lower the room temperature gradually to

avoid condensation.

If at any time the Detector does not connect properly after starting,

try again by turning on the Detector once the unit and the Image

Acquisition Software are operative.

During exposure, do not use the Detector near devices generating a strong

magnetic field.

After every examination, wipe with a cloth slightly damped the patient contact

surfaces as well as the Handle and Grid with disinfectants such as ethanol. For

cleaning, wipe with a cloth damped in neutral detergent.

It is recommended that Digital Detectors be placed in a plastic

radio-transparent bag for each use, thus avoiding the excess of

cleaning and disinfection processes directly on the Digital

Detector surfaces.

For further information on the Wireless Digital Detector Handling

and Maintenance, refer to the Wireless Digital Detector manuals.

Grids are intended to reduce scattered radiation and significantly enhance

image quality. Each Grid has an attached label that specifies its features (size,

focal distance, ratio, density).

Before using the Grid, clean the front and back side with a dry cloth to remove

dust and dirt.

Wireless Digital Detectors are prepared to fit into a Frame with a Removable

Grid. Consult the corresponding installation instructions and check that the Grid

is correctly mounted. Usually, a click sound means that the Grid is in place.
