External Marks
The Exradin A17 Slice Therapy Chamber is provided with
(3) external groove marks on the chamber body, signifying
important locations of the collecting volume. The middle
groove represents the center of the axial length of the col-
lecting volume. The two outer-most grooves represent the
termination of the collecting volume, each 4 cm away from
the central groove. Within these two outer-most grooves is
the collecting volume that is rated with a atness response
of ±1.5%, and is 8.0 cm in length.
Vent Tube
The Exradin A17 Slice Therapy Chamber utilizes a rug-
ged, exible tube to allow the chamber to vent. This tube
is sealed to the chamber body and is open to the ambi-
ent near the connector. The triaxial cable of the chamber
passes through this vent tube. DO NOT attempt to alter
or remove this vent tube from the chamber under any
circumstance. Doing so will void the warranty, allow the
chamber to leak if placed in water, and/or possibly loosen
the cable from the chamber thereby destroying any cali-
bration factor. Any modications should be only done by
Standard Imaging, Inc.
Underwater Operation
The Exradin A17 Slice Therapy chamber is inherently
waterproof; and requires no sleeves, caps or other devices
to achieve this.
Service Notes
Service and Maintenance
There are no user-serviceable parts within this ion-
ization chamber. Under no circumstance should the
user attempt to repair or disassemble the chamber
and/or connector, as the warranty will become void
and the calibration factor will change. Under normal
use, the chambers should provide years of trouble-
free service.
If assistance is desired in the proper disposal of this
product (including accessories and components), after
its useful life, please return to Standard Imaging.
