Maintaining Equipment and Cassettes
Replacing the Flexible Phosphor Screen
After cleaning the phosphor screen:
1.
Position the cassette with the Tube Side up. See the figure on page 8-3 .
2.
Place the tip of a tool, such as a small screwdriver, or ballpoint pen in
the oval hole on the side of the cassette and push in to release the latch.
Move the latch forward to open the cassette.
3.
Place the white (phosphor) side of the screen up so that it faces the
cassette’s Tube Side panel.
NOTE: Use only KODAK Flexible Phosphor Screens for KODAK DIRECTVIEW
CR 500 Systems, available separately. Match the screen resolution to
the resolution indicated on the cassette label: (GP) General Purpose
or (HR) High Resolution
4.
Carefully insert the screen all the way into the cassette.
NOTE: For proper operation and calibration of the 35 x 35 cm cassette,
always insert the screen into the cassette so that the black writing is at
the cassette door or back edge. It is possible to insert this screen into
the cassette in any of four orientations, and if you fail to insert the
screen correctly, it could result in both calibration and functional
failures:
– The scan calibration procedure may fail causing an error
message.
– The screen may not feed properly from the cassette, causing an
error message and preventing any exposed image on the screen
from being processed.
5.
Place the tool into the round hole and pull the latch back as far as
possible to close the cassette.
Cassette Cautions
CAUTION
:
You cannot ship cassettes contaminated with blood or other
body fluids to an Eastman Kodak Company facility for
evaluation unless the cassettes have been decontaminated.
Please utilize “universal precautions” and decontaminate the
cassettes with either an EPA registered tuberculocidal (list B)
or diluted bleach (1:10 with water) solution prior to shipping.
