Detector Safety
The detector has been approved to IEC 60601-1 by TUV Rheinland and has a cTUVus and
CE safety certification as a Medical Electrical Equipment device.
Recycling
The detector should be returned to Carestream Health at the end of life. The components
will be recycled appropriately.
The Lithium-polymer battery is WEEE compliant (as shown by the Wheelie Dustbin logo)
and should be recycled at local recycling stations. Carestream Health pays taxes in the
EU Battery Directive countries to cover the recycling costs.
Line Noise Correction
The Image Correction Preference is used for the following purpose:
•
Normal—Reduces correlated line noise due to readout ICs. This is a very subtle
correction, limited to near zero signal levels.
•
Enhanced—Reduces correlated line noise due to external EMI sources, such as motor
drives and power supplies. This level should only be used if there is detectable line
noise in the images.
Grids
•
Moving Grids: Moving grids should not exhibit grid aliasing. If the exposure time is
very short, the grid may alias with any digital detector. This is normally not a problem,
since grids are used on large body parts, which generally require exposure times
longer than 20 ms.
•
Low Resolution Stationary Grids: 30-to-50 Lines/cm (76-to-127 Lines/inch)
Carestream image processing software will automatically remove the visible lines
from the full resolution image.
•
High Resolution Stationary Grids: ≥ 75 Lines/cm (>191 Lines/inch)—Grid
resolutions of 75 Lines/cm or greater will not be visible on images.
•
Medium Resolution Stationary Grids: 50-to-75 Lines/cm
(127-to-191 Lines/inch)—Stationary grids in this range may cause aliasing and are
therefore not recommended. However, medium resolution moving grids should not
exhibit aliasing.

Durability
The detector has been designed to be a robust device and function properly in normal
handling. The instrument may be damaged if it receives a strong jolt from a drop or
strike. The warranty does not cover damage as a result of accident or abuse, including
broken detector glass and other obvious damage, however a drop rider can be purchased
to protect the investment. The detector has been equipped with internal accelerometers
that will register when the detector has incurred a significant shock. The drop height that
results in a registered event depends on the orientation of the detector during the drop,
and the stiffness of the surface it strikes.
Detector Life
The detector system is specified to last 10 years under normal use of 56,000 images per
year. That is ~560K images. This statement relates to the life of the physical aspects of the
product, including hardware, normal physical handling and image acquisition
No Preventive Maintenance (PM) is required on the system.
Detector Quality Assurance
The detector must undergo gain calibration on an annual basis. A 360 day reminder is
built into the software.
Express Calibration restores Gain Calibration and Defect Calibration and does a defect
quality check. Full Calibration is the same as Express Calibration and adds quality checks
for Signal Uniformity, Noise Uniformity and Dark Noise
Permanent pixel defects are identified in the factory based on outlier performance in
dark noise, X-ray uniformity response, and time lag response. Additional pixel defects are
identified during Express Calibration and Full Calibration
Quality Limits
•
No 4 x 4 defect clusters.
•
Signal Uniformity = 2 %
•
Noise Uniformity = 40 % (lowest exposure), 31% (1/3 gain calibration exposure), 28 %
(gain calibration exposure), 28 % (2 times gain calibration exposure)
•
Two Dark Noise = 9.2 ADC
Wireless FAQs
What impact will the system AP have on the Hospital/Clinic WLAN?
The system AP will have the channel fixed and the transmit power reduced to the
minimum level needed for reliable operation of the detector moving around the room
in which the AP is installed. Because of the intermittent bursts of data lasting only a few
seconds, and the low transmission power, the impact of the system WLAN on the Hospital
mobile devices is minimized.

What is the range of the wireless communication?
The wireless communication should have plenty of range for any single room installation.
The connection range is typically more than 30 m, depending on the obstructions
between the access point and the detector
