Compliance level

Electromagnetic environment—guidance Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:

Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies. Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.   a.Field from fixed transmitters, such as base station for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the CR scanner is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the CR scanner should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the CR scanner. b. Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 v/m.

Recommended separation distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the Vita CR System The Vita CR System is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Vita CR System can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communication equipment (transmitters) and the Vita CR System as recommended below, according to the maximum output of the communications equipment.

#69 The loaded cassette is not secured properly properly.. Please insert the cassette, making sure that the inserted cassette reached the end Cassette size: Cassette SN: Scenario When the cassette is inserted into the Scanner, the system will wait 1.5 seconds before starting the roller roll er motor. This will ensure the user pushes the cassette further into lock position (some users push the cassette slowly into the reader slot and stop when the roller motor starts so the cassette might be still unlocked). In Light-QC single-mode, the QC application will wait 5 seconds before closing, to ensure error #69 is displayed to the user if needed. The message will indicate to the user to properly insert the cassette so the screen can unload properly.

Recommended Actions User Response Verify that the cassette you are attempting to insert into the system matches the same size and number reported in the error message. Doing so will ensure normal operation.

Note Clicking OK on the error message without verifying that the correct cassette is being used may result in: • A problem while while ejecti ejecting ng the cass cassette, ette, and the possibil possibility ity of error #41 occurrin occurring g • The screen screen wil willl not fu fully lly retu return rn into the cassette cassette

Image Artifacts

Section Sect ion 6: Image Image Artifa Artifact cts s Black Dots on the Image Example of Black Dots

Cause These dots (streaks) are caused by an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). These ESD dots generate very short sharp and high light sparks that are coupled into the photo multiplier through the blue filter. The ESD effect is induced by several factors, mainly environmental conditions such as dry air and low humidity, and the rubbing of the screen by the mechanical CR Scanner (rollers).

Recommended Actions Clean the screen with a screen solution that contains an anti-static agent. See the CARESTREAM Vita CR Family Service Guide for Guide for cleaning instructions.

Cause The image appears black after image processing even though the raw image is fine. This can be caused by the monitor having the incorrect resolution or the wrong DICOM tag.

Recommended Actions [1] Check that the monitor settings are 1024 x 768 with a frequency of 74 Hz. [2] For a high resolution monitor (1–3 m), select grayscale. [3] Ensure that the DICOM tag (00028,00103) pixel representation value is “0” or “1”.

Vita CR System Troubleshooti Troubleshooting ng Tests

Section Sectio n 7: Vita Vita CR System Troubl Troubleshoo eshooting ting Test Tests s Sensors Tests Introduction Perform this test to check if a sensor is functioning. This test is valid for all sensors.

Procedure [1] Remove the CR Scanner cover. [2] Turn the CR Scanner ON. [3] Go to the Settings>Diagnostics tab.

[4] Insert a piece of paper into the sensor where the flag passes during the procedure.

Note This blocks the sensor signal. The green LED adjacent to that sensor on the pictogram should light up if the sensor is functioning properly. If the specific sensor that is blocked does not light up, the sensor is not functioning properly.

[5] Remove the piece of paper to unblock the sensor. The green LED should turn OFF.

Controller Board Test Point—Voltages Introduction The controller board has test points responsible for checking the current voltages volt ages while the system is operating. The controller board reports the current voltage status to the CR System software application and can be viewed in the Diagnostic screen.

There are six test points located on the controller board that confirm the power supply voltages and the controller converting voltage status. These points can be tested using a digital voltmeter (DVM).

Controller Board Dip Switch and LED Indication Introduction There are LED indicators on the controller board that indicate the system’s components status. These LED indicators are controlled by DIP switches. swit ches. The DIP switches turn the LED indicators ON and OFF in order to prevent any light from penetrating the system during a scan cycle. To turn ON the LED indicators, move the DIP switch to the ON position.

Important

The LED indicators should be turned ON using the DIP switch only when testing the controller board function. Make sure to turn the LED indicator(s) OFF following the test to prevent any light from penetrating the system during a scan cycle.
