General Safety Instructions
The CR 30-X tray and image plate have been factory predefined. No further
action is required from customer side to use them with the CR 30-X.
The image plate causes a specific X-ray scattering. This influences the
response of the exposure control device. To compensate for this, recalibration
of the device for the use with CR 30-X cassettes could be necessary.
10
WARNING: Make sure that the automatic exposure control device is
placed above the cassette, to prevent patients from receiving an
overdose of X-rays. When it is located underneath the cassette, the
backscatter protection (lead) contained in the grey side of the
cassette, retains a certain amount of X-rays. The dose measured by
the cell will then be much lower than the dose actually given to the
patient.
