IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Correct Usage
Operation of the ScanX may only be carried out by suitably qualified
personnel.
The ScanX is only to be used in the processing of exposed PSPs.
If the device is stored in a cool environment and brought to a warmer
one, condensation can build up. Do not connect the device until it has
warmed up to room temperature and is absolutely dry.
The immediate working area should be free of all possible interferences (e.g.
strong magnetic fields), as these could affect the operation.
The ScanX may only be operated together with authorized software.
Correct usage includes observing all installation and operating instructions
and adherence to the set-up, operation and maintenance instructions.
Any use, above and beyond that described in this manual as correct
usage, will invalidate the warranty.
Incorrect Usage
Any use that is not described in this manual as correct usage is considered
as incorrect usage. The manufacturer is not to be held liable for any damage
caused as a result of incorrect usage. The operator bears all risks.
This manual provides the information necessary for the setup, operation and routine
care and maintenance of the ScanX

12 Portable Digital Imaging System with
In-Line Erase, P/N B8100.
This manual is not to be used as a replacement for training in radiography.
For information regarding the computer system and imaging software, refer to the
appropriate documentation provided with your computer hardware and software.
PURPOSE OF THIS MANUAL
The ScanX is a self-contained digital radiography imaging system housed in a
durable soft pack custom transit carrying case. This completely mobile system is
a digital radiography system that utilizes reusable Phosphor Storage Plates (PSP)
in place of X-ray film to produce diagnostic quality digital radiographs. The ScanX
produces diagnostic quality digital images by scanning PSPs, which have been
exposed to X-rays. The ScanX allows computer storage, processing, retrieval and
display of the computed radiographic images utilizing user supplied software and
a computer. An additional feature of the ScanX consists of an in-line plate eraser
function that removes the latent image from the plate immediately after scanning.
This design provides an efficient one-operation scanning and erasing process
leaving the user with a PSP ready for the next X-ray procedure.
