FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Bluetooth ACCENT system is comprised of a ACCENT Sensor
(size 1 or size 2) with attached connection cable and a Bluetooth Control
Module allowing wireless connection. The ACCENT Sensor is connected to
the Control Module via a 4-foot (1.25 meter) cable. The Control Module
connects to the user-supplied computer system using the Bluetooth wire-
less connection protocol.
During operation of the ACCENT system, the X-ray beam is converted
into an electronic signal by the ACCENT Sensor. The resulting image
information is digitized using a 12-bit A/D converter and then stored in
the Control Module.
The image memory of the Control Module reduces the possibility of
image loss caused by interference or misuse. The image is transferred
block by block to the user-supplied computer system and processed by
the image software.
Only one image can be processed during a data transmission cycle,
which is indicated by an illuminated front-panel blue LED indicator. New
images can be created when the front-panel yellow LED indicator starts
blinking.
The ACCENT can only be used when connected via the wireless
Bluetooth protocol to a user-supplied computer system loaded with an
Image Management Software authorized by Air Techniques.
Each time the ACCENT Sensor is used it must be covered with an
appropriate disposable infection control sheath (PN B5125 or B5225).

About the TWAIN Consortium:
The TWAIN Working Group is a not-for-profit organization, which repre-
sents the imaging industry. TWAIN’s purpose is to provide and foster a
universal public standard, which links applications and image acquisition
devices. The ongoing mission of this organization is to continue to
enhance the standard to accommodate future technologies.
The TWAIN consortium does not market any software, hardware or other
products. It has a website at http://www.twain.org/ on which you can find
a wealth of practical information for people that want further information
on the subject.
The TWAIN standard exists for Windows and Macintosh platforms. Only
Windows is covered herein. At the present time, there is no Macintosh
version of the TWAIN interface for ACCENT sensors.
On paper, the TWAIN standard allows total interconnection of software
and peripherals. However, software and peripherals are not obliged to
comply with the entire standard. So there can be partial or complete
incompatibilities in some cases.
TWAIN Interface for ACCENT
This section provides instruction for connecting the ACCENT using the
TWAIN interface. It contains procedures to acquire images using the
ACCENTsystem with widely used, commercially available image program
applications via the TWAIN interface. Refer to the documentation sup-
plied for the individual imaging program application for detailed oper-
ating procedures and specific setup instructions to acquire or manipulate
images.
If your imaging application does not display the Accent TWAIN user
interface, use the TWAIN Test application included with the ACCENT
software and driver installation. The TWAIN Test application displays the
Accent TWAIN user interface providing controls to the break existing
wireless link or establish a new one. The Accent TWAIN user interface
‘remembers’ the last link that was used, so when you return to your imaging
application, acquisition will use the new settings.
Installation of the TWAIN interface for the ACCENT
The TWAIN interface is installed, by default, as part of the ACCENT
software and driver installation.
TWAIN Graphical User Interface
As shown in Figure 5, the TWAIN Graphical User interface is simple and
intuitive. It is divided into six separate functional areas described on the
next page.
TWAIN INTERFACE

16
1. Title Bar: Contains the words "Accent: TWAIN Data Source". If it
displays any other words, then you are using a language other
than English or you have not selected the Accent as your TWAIN
data source.
2. Language Selection Box: By default, the interface uses the same
language as Windows or English.
3. Resolution Box: Allows selection of high resolution (HR) or low
resolution (LR). By default, the Accent system acquires
images in low resolution. Refer to the "Image Resolution" section
on page 26.
4. Connection Box: By default, the TWAIN interface searches for an
Accent USB Control Module connection. Click on the ‘Wireless
system’ button to search for an Accent Bluetooth Control
Module. While searching for a Bluetooth Control Module, the
progress bar below the button displays a yellow progress bar.
Once the Bluetooth Control Module has been found, the
progress bar represents the battery state. The batteries need
charging when this turns red.
5. LED Indicators: The blue, red, yellow, and green LEDs indicate
the status of your Accent system. The red LED indicates an error
if it remains illuminated for more than 5 seconds, or indicates a
search reset when it flashes briefly. The green LED illuminates
when a link to an Accent system has been established. The yel-
low LED blinks when the software is ready to acquire a new
image. When X-rays have been detected, the blue LED illumi-
nates while the data are being transmitted.
6. Close Button: Lets you close the Accent TWAIN user interface
when you have finished taking X-rays. Some imaging applica-
tions close the TWAIN user interfaces after capturing each
image; others wait for the user to close the window. While
searching for a Bluetooth device, it may take up to 20 seconds
for the window to close.

INSTALLATION
Protect the imaging system from direct sunlight and excessive
heat. Ensure that the Control Module connector is
accessible at all times for connection of the
ACCENT sensor plug as necessary.
Installing the ACCENT system is as simple as installing batteries,
deciding where to place the Control Module and the Sensor Storage
Hanger. The Control Module must be within 10m (30 feet) of the computer
system loaded with an authorized Image Management Software applica-
tion in a location convenient to the patient.
Important: Do not use bumpers when using the optional Control Module Holster.
The Control Module with bumpers does not fit into the holster.
Bumpers are permanently adhered to the Control Module surface and
can not be easily removed once applied.
Installing the Batteries -
Remove rear cover and place four NiMH AAA
batteries inside the battery compartment. Make
correct contact for polarity (+ and -) according to
the sign in the battery compartment.
Control Module Location -
Although the Control Module can be put on
a table top or any flat stable surface, it is rec-
ommended that it be placed in the optional
Control Module Holster (P/N B5040) secured
to the X-ray arm using the supplied belt.
Sensor Storage Hanger Location -
Adhere the self-sticking Sensor Storage Hanger
to the X-ray arm near the Control Module.
Optional Bumpers -
Self-sticking bumpers are supplied to act as feet for the Control Module
when not using the optional Control Module Holster (P/N B5040).

INSTALLATION
Static electricity, a natural phenomenon, and consequently
electrostatic discharge can damage electronic devices,
particularly computers and associated peripherals.
Static Prevention - Static electricity is a potential source of problems
with electronic devices, particularly computers and their peripherals.
Your ACCENT system is no exception. As such, basic precautions
should be taken to prevent static build-up, especially if you are using the
system in a carpeted room and/or areas of low humidity.
The following suggestions will help eliminate static build-up and protect
your computers, ACCENT equipment, and other electronic devices:
Ensure your electrical outlets are properly grounded
Floor treatments (i.e. Staticide 2005/2002)
Anti-static floor mats
Air Humidifier
Air Ionizer
Bluetooth ACCENT System Interconnection. Refer to Figure 6
and perform the following procedures to connect the ACCENT system.
1. Connect the ACCENT Sensor by aligning the connector pins
and inserting the sensor cable plug into the sensor socket of the
Control Module until it securely snaps into place.
2. Connect the supplied Bluetooth to USB Interface Adapter by inserting
it into any available USB port on the computer. Use the supplied USB
connection cable as necessary.

INSTALLATION
Note: Turn Control Module off before removing the ACCENT Sensor.
Remove the ACCENT Sensor by squeezing pulling the sensor cable
plug from the sensor socket of the Control Module.
Make sure that the four NiMH AAA batteries are fully charged prior to use.
Charge batteries in accordance with the NiMH Battery Charger Instruction
Manual, P/N B5087.
