Calibrating the X-ray Detector
When exposure conditions have changed significantly (for example, new energy settings, new
X-ray tube, and new distances), acquire new gain calibration files. Follow the instructions in the
Digital Radiography Software Manual
for acquiring new calibration files. Never acquire calibration
files while handling or transporting the detector.
9.5
Cleaning the X-ray Detector
To clean the X-ray detector:
1
Turn off the X-ray detector and the power and communication tethered cable, if applicable.
2
Insert the XRpad2 Protective Insert into the battery compartment before cleaning or
disinfecting the detector.
3
If the detector surface is dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth dampened with ethanol or a
diluted neutral detergent.
Do not allow any fluid, detergent, or solution to get inside the battery compartment of the
X-ray detector.
4
Remove any excess detergent or solution.
5
Wipe the X-ray detector surface with a clean cloth to completely dry the X-ray detector.
6
Allow the X-ray detector to completely air dry before turning on or storing the X-ray
detector.
WARNING
Do not acquire images and calibration files while handling the
detector. This can disturb the image quality and result in the wrong
diagnosis.
WARNING
When the detector system is going to be cleaned, be sure to turn off
X-ray detector and remove the battery. If the detector is connected to a
power supply, turn off the power switch and/or unplug the power and
communication tethered cable, if applicable. If the X-ray detector is
battery powered, remove the battery. Never use thinner, benzine,
acetone, or other flammable cleaning agents. Ignoring this warning
may result in explosion, fire, or electric shock, which may result in
severe personal injury, death, or substantial product damage.
Note
If you are using a disinfectant other than those specified, we recommend
you consult a specialist for the procedure for disinfection.
