MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Procedures
The ScanX is designed for many years of trouble-free operation. Maintenance as
described herein is minimal.
IMPORTANT: Do not spray solvents or liquid directly on the scanner.
Cleaning the ScanX
Turn off the ScanX disconnect the line cord from the Mains wall outlet and
disconnect the computer connection cable from the ScanX before cleaning.
Wipe the outside surfaces with a soft paper towel dampened with a disinfectant
solution or non-abrasive household cleaner. Be careful not to allow solvents TO
RUN OR DRIP into the ScanX. This could cause damage to the ScanX. Allow to
air dry before plugging in or turning back on.
Disinfecting the ScanX
No disinfection is required for the ScanX.
Cleaning the Plate Guides
Wash the Plate Guides with a non-abrasive cleaner and water. Dry thoroughly.
IMPORTANT: Plate Guides must not be put in an autoclave.
Note: Always use standard infection control procedures when handling
devices that contact the patient.
Disinfecting the Plate Guides
There is no reason to routinely disinfect the Plate Guide unless contamination
is suspected. If a Plate Guide has touched a contaminated surface, it may be
immersed briefly in a cold sterilant according to sterilant manufacturers directions.
After disinfection, clean and dry the Plate Guide using the instructions above.
Cleaning the Plate Transport
Over time, small debris and dust can accumulate in the plate transport mechanism
causing a loss in image quality and possible damage to the PSPs.
To ensure optimal ScanX performance, the plate transport should be cleaned
once per week using a new ScanX Cleaning Sheet each time. Sheets can be
purchased from your dealer. Refer to ACCESSORIES page 26.
