IMPORTANT: PSPs must always be erased prior to use.
Note: Use PSPs within 24 hours of last erasure. Repeat erasing process if PSPs have been stored longer than
24 hours.
Erasing PSPs
Each PSP should be used (i .e . X-ray exposed and scanned)
within 24 hours
of erasure since natural
radiation will add noise to the PSP . Erase PSPs by simply using the ScanX In-Line Erase Feature . Erasing
of PSPs can be accomplished using one of two methods as follows:
Note: Both erasing methods will result in an erased PSP suitable for reuse. The user will not observe any
difference in ScanX operation when using either method.
Method #1
Perform the Activate Scanner and the Scanning and Erasing Plates procedures on pages 19 and
20 . Except when performing step 4 of the Activate Scanner procedure, select the Erase option
from the installed authorized imaging software to activate the ScanX . This method does not scan
the plate and no image will be acquired .
Method #2
Perform the Activate Scanner and the Scanning and Erasing Plates procedures on pages 19
and 20 . This method scans the plate and the imaging software may acquire a “junk image”
(scanned latent plate image) that should be subsequently deleted from the imaging software .
Cleaning Phosphor Storage Plates
For the best images, PSPs and Plate Protectors should be handled carefully and kept clean . Use specially
formulated PSP Cleaning Wipes (P/N B8910) to clean all PSPs and Plate Protectors . These single-use
extra soft, 100% polyester fabric wipes will not scratch or damage while safely removing dust, hair, dirt
and smudges from the imaging surface . Use one wipe and clean plates as follows:
1 . As shown by Figure 8, gently wipe the PSP Cleaning
Wipe over the dry Plate surface . Wipe back and forth
and then in a circular motion .
2 . Allow the plate surface to air dry . Make sure that the
PSP is completely dry before re-using .
Disposal of Phosphor Storage Plates
Consult with your federal, national, state and local government,
for rules and regulations on disposal of Phosphor Storage Plates .
