Cleaning Precautions
•
Many plastic components are used in the imager’s construction.
Coat flecking and deformation is likely to occur if the imager is
wiped with chemical dusters, benzene, thinners, insecticides, or
other solvents. Rubber and PVC materials left in contact with the
imager for extended times will cause damage. Never use
petroleum-based solutions or abrasive cleaners.
•
To clean the imager cover, first power off the imager using the
(power) key at the control panel, then turn the rocker switch
in the back
to the
0
(off) position, then unplug the imager. Clean
the cover with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild soap
and water solution. Allow the cover to completely dry before
operating the imager again.
Media
•
For
ChromaVista
®
color prints, the consumed ribbon contains
facsimiles of any patient images printed to
ChromaVista
color
sheets. Therefore, you must properly dispose of or destroy
consumed ribbon to ensure the confidentiality of patient images.
•
The optical density of reflective and transmissive prints have a
nominal range of: Dmin = 0.10 OD (reflective), 0.11 OD
(transmissive) to Dmax = 2.10 OD (reflective), 3.1 OD
(transmissive). Actual optical densities may vary based on media
variations and on the instrument being used to measure density.
For example,
DirectVista
®
Clear film may have a lower Dmin and
Dmax than
DirectVista
Blue film.
