•
When used properly, imaging plates can be exposed, read and erased
several hundred times provided there is no mechanical damage.
•
Replace the imaging plate if there are any signs of damage, e.g. if the
protective layer is damaged or there are visible scratches that impair the
quality of the diagnosis.
•
Also replace the imaging plate if the RFID tag is damaged or becoming
detached.
•
Clean imaging plates properly (see section "Cleaning and disinfection"
on page 48).
CAUTION
The image data on the imaging plate is not permanent.
The image data is altered by light, natural 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 imaging plates without the light protection cover.
Do not subject an exposed imaging plate to X-ray radiation before or after
the scanning process.
Do not operate X-ray unit during the scanning process if the unit is in the
same room as the X-ray tube.
The device can be used to scan imaging plates size 0, size 1 and size 2.
Each size of imaging plate requires the matching cartridge.
The size of the imaging plate is marked on the cartridge.
CAUTION
Loss of image information and equipment damage if an incorrect cartridge is
used.
Always use the correct size of cartridge for the imaging plate being used.
Before each scanning process, compare the imaging plate size with the LED
display on the control element.
