1.2 Notes for Using of FPD
When using the equipment, take the following precautions. Otherwise, problems may occur
and the equipment may not function correctly.
Before exposure
Be sure to check the equipment daily and confirm that it works properly.
Be sure there be a battery installing on the Mars1717VS to avoid the power off
suddenly
Sudden heating of the room in cold areas will cause condensation to form on the
equipment. In this case, wait until the condensation evaporates before
performing an exposure. If the equipment is used while condensation is formed
on it, problems may occur in the quality of captured images. When an air-
conditioner is used, be sure to raise/lower the temperature gradually so that a
difference of temperature in the room and equipment does not occur, to prevent
condensation.
The detector should warm up for 15 minutes before exposure or updating the
gain map or defect map.
During exposure
Do not move the power during exposure, or it may cause image noise or
artifacts, even incorrect images.
Do not use the devices near the equipment generating a strong magnetic field.
Otherwise, it may cause image noise, artifacts or even incorrect images.
Disinfection and Cleaning (When in portable usage)
After every examination, wipe the patient contact surfaces of the detector using
disinfectants such as ethanol, to prevent the risk of infection. For details on how
to sterilize, consult a specialist.
Do not spray the detector directly with disinfectants or detergents.
Wipe it with a cloth slightly damped with a neutral detergent. Do not use solvents
such as alcohol, thinner, benzene, acid and base. Doing so may damage the
surface of the equipment.
It's recommended to use a waterproof non-woven cover as the isolated layer
between detector and the blooding patient.
1.3 Notes for Using of Battery
Battery is shipped with detector, remaining capacity should be charged greater
than or equal to 50% but less than 60%. If storage without use, charge greater
than or equal to 50% but less than 60% every 3 month, or it causes damage to
battery.
