Collimators Calibration
It is recommended to perform the Collimators Calibration once a
week to ensure optimal image quality. This calibration is also
necessary if a mechanical adjustment is made to the Beam Limiter
or if image quality has degraded. The Collimator Calibration runs in
both Portrait and Landscape positions and takes less than 3 minutes
to complete.
The FOV Collimation tool is for German regulatory compliance
only. Do NOT use this tool unless you are qualified to do so.
NOTE: A Panel calibration must be performed prior to a Collimators
calibration.

The X-ray device may be dangerous to the Patient and operator if
