Safety Directions

General Safety Instructions

CR plates and cassettes will not cause any special health or safety hazard, if

they are used as intended.
When working with the automatic exposure control device, take into account

the following two warnings and read the instruction:

• Overexposure (for the MD1.0 General)

CAUTION:

Automatic Exposure Control devices may cause

overexposure if they are positioned underneath the

cassette.

The image plate retains a certain amount of X-rays. The dose

measured by the cell will then be lower than the dose

actually given to the patient.
Make sure that the automatic exposure control device is

placed above the cassette.

• Wrong response

CAUTION:

Automatic Exposure Control device may give a wrong

response.

The image plate causes a specific X-ray scattering. This

influences the response of the exposure control device.
Recalibrate the X-Ray device for use with MD1.0 cassettes to

compensate for this effect.
