Ensure Proper System and PC Workstation Installation and Operation
The FONA CDRelite Sensor and USB Interface Module have been
determined to be in accordance with international safety standards
and are deemed suitable for use within the patient area, which
extends from the patient for a distance of 5 ft (1.5m). To comply
with these standards, do not operate non-medical equipment (such as
a PC workstation) inside the patient area. Outside the patient area,
the presence of approved non-medical grade equipment and Listed /
Approved / IEC 60950-1 certified Information Technology
Equipment (ITE) computer equipment is acceptable.
The host computer (PC workstation) should be CE-approved and
conform with the Low Voltage [73/23/EC] and EMC Directive
[89/336/ERC]. Also, to help ensure optimal performance, ensure
that all software programs residing on the workstation are virus-free
and have been adequately tested so they will not impact imaging
applications after installation.
Operate the FONA CDRelite Sensor and USB Interface Module as Directed
Always use the FONA CDRelite Sensor and USB Interface Module
in accordance with the directions and recommendations contained in
this User Guide. Do not attempt to modify the FONA CDRelite
Sensor and USB Interface Module or use it in system configurations
not specified in this document.
Protect Sensor from Potential ESD Damage
Like other electronic devices, your FONA CDRelite Sensor is
susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD), particularly when the
device is used in or around carpeted areas or low-humidity
environments. During cable replacement, when Sensor contacts are
exposed, it is especially important to protect the device from
potential ESD damage. Touching a metal surface prior to replacing
the FONA CDRelite cable will reduce the risk of damaging Sensor
components by accidental static discharge. The use of anti-static
floor mats or floor treatments (for example Staticide 2005/2002) will
also help eliminate static build-up in your office.
Wait for Appropriate Prompts before Operating X-ray Source
To avoid exposing the patient to unnecessary X-rays, ensure that the
CDR exam window viewbox is flashing green (default color) in
AutoTake mode, or that the message, “Waiting to take X-ray,” is
displayed before triggering the X-ray Source.
