Cleaning the image plate

The inner lining of the ADC Compact cassette body is made of Bayer Makrolon 
polycarbonate. This ensures a high degree of protection against electrostatic 
charging and dust collection on the ADC image plates. Nonetheless, it is 
recommended to clean the image plates once a month using the following 
procedure:

1

Open the cassette with the red side up.

2

Put your hand on the image plate with the cassette in a horizontal position. Make 
sure that you do not press on the plate.
