Introduction
The digital radiography AeroDR SYSTEM, AeroDR SYSTEM 2 and SKR 3000 (hereinafter, both are referred to as
this device) perform X-ray imaging of the human body using an X-ray planar detector that outputs a digital signal,
which is then input into an image processing device, and the acquired image is then transmitted to a ling system,
printer, and image display device as diagnostic image data.
• Diagnostic X-ray image data of this device does not provide mammographic images.
• This device is also used for carrying out exposures on children.
The CS-7 or ImagePilot (hereafter referred to as the image processing controller), which controls the receiving, pro-
cessing, and output of image data, is required for operation. For the operation of the image processing controller,
refer to the "Operation Manual" of the image processing controller. Also, regarding the connectable devices, contact

CAUTION
• Take the following notes when using the DR Detector:
— Use the DR Detector on a at base. If the DR Detec-
tor is placed on a sloping surface and subjected to a
load, its internal sensor may be damaged.
— When laying the patient onto the DR Detector during
positioning, do so very slowly.
— When placing the DR Detector under the patient as
part of the exposure process, insert and pull out the
detector slowly.
— Use the recommended adapter when you need to
perform exposure on a stretcher or a place where
load is to be applied locally.
— Exposing or immersing the DR Detector to patient
body uids, chemicals, water, etc. may allow such liq-
uids to enter through exterior gaps and cause a fail-
ure. Make sure to cover the DR Detector with a vinyl
sheet, etc.
— Be careful of the ingress of patient body uids, chem-
icals, water, etc., because the AeroDR Detector is not
designed to be waterproof.
— The AeroDR 2 Detector and AeroDR 3 Detector are
designed to have waterproof capabilities, but be care-
ful when handling them because they are not guar-
anteed to be completely waterproof. Also, be careful
because subjecting them to strong impacts or exces-
sive loads by dropping or hitting them against other
objects may diminish their waterproof capabilities.
— Never leave DR Detectors in hot and humid environ-
ments for long periods of time.

image is displayed in Aero Indicator.
— Do not give medical diagnoses using the images dis-
played in Aero Indicator.
• If there are any radioactive substances remaining in the
patient's body after nuclear medicine testing or some
other reason, the AeroDR 2 Detector and AeroDR 3 De-
tector may recognize that X-rays were emitted and start
image transfer. When the image is transferred, change
the X-ray sensitive setting of the image processing con-
troller to "Large" before performing exposure.
• If you change the X-ray sensitivity to "Large" in the
AeroDR 2 Detector, make sure that all of the following
conditions are met before performing exposure. If you
perform exposure under other conditions, you may not
be able to get an image.
— On the DR Detector, set up an area (2 cm x 2 cm or
larger) on which the X-rays are emitted directly.
— Emit the X-rays onto the entire DR Detector.
— Emit the X-rays by using a tube current of 140 mA or
higher or a tube voltage of 90 kV or higher.
• If you change the X-ray sensitivity to "Large" or "Med"
in the AeroDR 3 Detector, make sure that all of the fol-
lowing conditions are met before performing exposure.
If you perform exposure under other conditions, you
may not be able to get an image.
— Emit the X-rays onto the entire DR Detector.
