Safety and Maintenance
WARNING!
Caution risk of electric shock!
Switch off the automated X-ray film processor before cleaning or disinfecting.
This disconnects the automated X-ray film processor from the power source
and eliminates the risk of electric shock.
5.1
Introduction
In this chapter you will find information about safety and maintenance necessary to ensure the correct
and reliable operation of the device after installation.
5.2
Reusability
The automated X-ray film processor can be reused without any special reprocessing procedures.
5.3
Cleaning and Disinfecting
NOTE
Discoloration of the baths is normal due to the chemical properties and is not a
defect.
CAUTION!
Do not use solvents containing alcohol when cleaning the machine.
WARNING!
Make sure that no liquid enters the inside of the housing during cleaning and
disinfection to prevent electrical short circuits and/or corrosion.
Do not allow any liquids to run into the interior of the device or over the
control panel. Liquids can damage the device.
5.3.1
Cleaning
Cleaning the automated X-ray film processor is very easy due to the very good quality surface coating.
Generally, this is only done with a dry cloth.
Do not use any corrosive, dissolving or abrasive cleaning agents, which may damage the device
surfaces or the coating.
Clean device surfaces and painted parts with a damp cloth and a mild to slightly alkaline cleaning
solution (e.g., RBS® Neutral T) and wipe dry.
5.3.2
Daily cleaning
Before operation
•
Remove dirt from the film insert with a soft cloth
•
Run 2 - 3 cleaning films to remove accumulated dirt and dust from the rollers
•
Check the level in the regeneration tanks and refill solutions if necessary
After operation
•
After finishing work, the water must be drained from the machine. This reduces the growth of
algae in the water bath.
