DIN Test Service
The DIN Test service tests your Dome CX, Dome EX, and Dome QX
displays for conformance with German standard DIN 6868-57. A
successful acceptance test such as the one performed by DIN Test
service is mandatory before DIN 6868-57 application category A and
B devices
*
can be accepted in a hospital or other diagnostic setting.
For more information about DIN acceptance criteria, obtain a copy of
the DIN 6868-57 standard through the following web site:
http://www2.din.de.
Besides acceptance testing, the DIN Test service provides constancy
testing. Constancy tests can be performed periodically after
successful acceptance testing to detect any degradation in display
performance. The tests detect degradation by measuring deviation
from performance values recorded during the acceptance test.
* Application category A includes image display devices for the
diagnosis of digital images taken by means of projection radiography,
including storage phosphors or solid-state detectors, for example, of the
skeleton, thorax or mamma. However, image display devices for the
diagnosis of digital images from dental radiography, fluoroscopy, or
subtraction angiography are not included in application category A.
Application category B includes all image display devices suitable
for the diagnosis of digital images from dental radiography, fluoroscopy,
and subtraction angiography as well as of images generated by means
of sectional imaging procedures (such as computed tomography,
magnetic resonance tomography, sonography) and nuclear-medical
procedures.
