5 Calibration of the DR System
Note:
Please make sure that all detector specific data is installed on the PC as described above.
Note:
For the calibration make sure that the detector runs at least 2 hours so that a sufficient operating
temperature is reached.
General note for calibration:
- use the maximum SID that you might use for a real exposure
- open the collimator so that the complete area of the detector is exposed
- try to always use 70kV for all calibration exposures
- For portable detectors, which are used at several workstations, the calibration is carried out on
the table.
- Perform “Gain calibration” every 6 months.
Start the program “VARIAN ViVa” from the start menu “CONAXX2\DR-Panel“. Now a new window appears.
Please select “A CQUISITION ” from the menu and then “R ECEPTOR S ETUP ...”. Make sure that the installed
detector is selected and close the window. Click on “O PEN LINK ” in the “A CQUISITION ” menu.
Start the “Gain calibration” by clicking the button “G AIN C ALIBRATION ” in the “A CQUISITION ” menu. The
detector now acquires 8 images without x-ray radiation. After that follow the instructions on the screen
and acquire 8 more images without an object. Please make sure, that there is no object between tube
and detector during the acquisition. After the 8th image has been acquired close the calibration window
with the button “F INISH ”.
Now you can read out the value for “G AIN MEDIAN ” in the according field. This value should be about 000.
In case the value is to high reduce the dose. In case the value is to low increase the dose.
To check if you reached the value around 000 you can make the first step of the calibration and then
click on “F INISH ”. Then you can see if your parameters are ok to reach 000.
If they are ok you can do the complete calibration.
The calibration is now complete. Close the software “V I V A ”.
NOTE
If problems occur when calibrating the detector, please calibrate
according to the
included user manual provided by the detector manufacturer.

9 Safety and Maintenance
9.1 Introduction
In this chapter, you will find details regarding safety and maintenance, which is required to ensure the
correct and reliable function of the system after the initial installation.
9.2 Cleanin and disinfection
The flat panel receptor and connected cables are likely to be soiled during use. The specific material
most likely to become soiled is the X-ray grade carbon fibre input window and aluminium/magnesium
housing.
Cleaning and disinfecting of the input window should be performed as needed. Wiping the surfaces
with a soft cloth dampened with soap and water will generally clean the surfaces.
Proper disinfection requires that a disinfectant solution be used; such as Sani-Cloth® Plus, a hospital
grade, EPA registered low to intermediate-level product for hard, non-porous surfaces and equipment.
Use disinfectants in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Alternatively, the below chemical
cleaning solutions may also be used.
Cleaning and disinfecting of the battery and battery compartment should also be performed as needed
using the same practices described above. Care should be taken when cleaning the battery contacts,
use a non-abrasive cleaner that will not damage the copper contact material.
The battery charger can be cleaned with a wet cloth using one of the chemicals below. The battery
charger cannot be submerged any time during cleaning.
Chemical Cleaning Solutions Recommended:
- Isopropyl alcohol, 70% aqueous solution.
- Mild soap and water.
- Chlorine bleach, 3% aqueous solution. Do not clean electrical contacts or connector with bleach.
- Quaternary ammonium compounds, such as Steris “Coverage Plus NPD” (one part Coverage
Plus NPD to 255 parts water).
- CaviWipes®. Use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
Caution!
The use of corrosive or abrasive cleanin a ents as well as solvents is not
allowed. These materials can cause dama e to the outer surface of the unit or to
the coatin of the individual components.
Do not use an excessive amount of ethanol (or neutral deter ent), as doin so
may allow the liquid to enter from the ap on the outer surfaces, resultin in the
dama e to the flat panel sensor, or cause the labels to come off.
Do not use a solvent such as thinner or benzine, as it corrodes the outer surfaces.
