1.2.7 Precautions for each
function
WARNING
Precautions on stitching combination processing
• Adjust the combination position by using the mark-
ers as supplementary standards in addition to body
parts of the subject. It is also recommended that
you arrange the measure in the combined image
part during exposure to simplify the confirmation of
the combined parts.
Precautions on magnetic card reader
• Check that patient information read from a mag-
netic card is consistent with the information written
in the magnetic card.
• Do not connect multiple magnetic card readers to a
single device. It may cause malfunctions.
• Do not change the settings of the dip switch on the
bottom of the magnetic card reader.
Precautions on bar code reader
• The reading window discharges a laser, so take
care not to look in the laser or point the laser to-
ward the eye. In addition, perform periodic inspec-
tion of the reading window.
• Laser is discharged during disassembly. Do not dis-
assemble.
Precautions for image measurements
• Sometimes the exposure orientation causes ac-
cidental errors with regard to the actual length of
the subject. Use while taking into account any error
between image and measured results.
Precautions when running HS processing
• When running HS processing, the images may
seem strange. For applications with this process-
ing, always check whether images are suitable for
diagnosis.
• The noise is reduced by HS processing, and you can
expect signals that are unclear due to noise to become
clearer, but signals that do not exist will not be visible.
• When reviewing whether to reduce dosage by means
of HS processing, consider lowering the signal com-
ponent by means of reducing dosage and always
check whether images are suitable for diagnosis.
Precautions on a stitching cassette
• There are small differences in magnification of im-
ages made with REGIUS plates which are adjacent
within a stitching cassette. For this reason, over-
lapping parts of images made with REGIUS plates
which are adjacent do not completely match. (When
the exposure distance is 1.5 m, misalignment in the
horizontal direction will be approximately 0.5 mm at
maximum.)
21
1.2 Safety precautions
CAUTION
Precautions on blackening process for areas
Chapter 1
outside the exposure field
• In the blackening process for areas outside the ex-
posure field, if the distance between the edge of the
X-ray exposure field and the edge of the cassette is
3 cm or less, the masking function may fail to recog-
nize the masking field. When using a collimator, set
the edge of the X-ray exposure field to be sufficient-
ly distant from the edge of the cassette. In addition,
use preview on the [Output] tab or [Overlay] tab to
check that the masking area is appropriately set
before the image is output, and modify the masking
area on the viewer screen if needed.
Notes on the chest wall blackening process
• Recognition of unexposed areas on the breast
may be lost in the chest wall blackening process.
Use preview on the [Output] tab or [Overlay] tab to
check that the chest wall blackening area is not in
the diagnosis area before the image is output, and
set the chest wall blackening process to OFF on
the viewer screen if needed.
Precautions on mammogram
• Use upon confirming that missing regions in images
on the reception area and exposure field exceeding
the reception area are within the allowable range.
Also, make sure that additional information such as
stamps do not overlap with the breast area in im-
ages.
• Confirm that additional information such as mark-
ers and stamps is not superimposed on the breast
area.
• When displaying two mammograms on two frames,
fine-tune and check the horizontal positions of the
images.
Precautions for the use of the highlight func-
tion for the tube/gauze
• If the tube/gauze is difficult to identify on the image,
adjust the highlight level. When the tube/gauze is
highlighted too much, lower the highlight level.
Precautions on multi-study function
• Take extra care not to make any incomplete input
or input error during the input of patient information
because the examinations for different patients may
be treated as examinations for same patient, or the
examination information may be assigned to differ-
ent patient due to incomplete input or input error of
the patient information. Note that the examination
for the emergency patient with same ID will be uni-
fied when the emergency patient function is used.
1.2 Safety precautions

CAUTION CAUTION

Precautions on REGIUS plates
• Frequency and duration of use of the REGIUS
plates* are automatically monitored when they are
scanned by the reader. The replacement schedule
may not be properly managed if the plate is not
used for an extended period of time. Therefore, use
of the REGIUS plates as evenly as possible is rec-
ommended. (* Photostimulable phosphor plate for
Konica Minolta computed radiography)
Precautions when changing the exposure device
• When changing the device (for example, a wall
stand reader to a table reader), a different exposure
conditions may have been set for the same body
part depending on the settings of the body part that
is created or edited by the user master. Therefore,
carefully check both the body part and its exposure
conditions before starting the examination.
Precautions when the image is used on a de-
vice other than the one used for output
• When using the image on another device for the
purpose of measurement etc., check the consis-
tency between the devices before use. In particular,
care must be taken when decreasing the image
size because some correction may be applied to
the image depending on the reduction ratio.
Precautions on changing the reading area
• If annotation has been set for the image, changing
the reading area will disable the annotation setting.
Set annotation again.
Precautions for exposure with the AeroDR De-
tector
• Before exposure, confirm on the screen of this
device that the AeroDR Detector is registered in
the exposure room. Also, perform exposure after
confirming that the AeroDR Detector to be used for
exposure has been selected.
• Do not leave the AeroDR Detector in the vicinity of
a heating device such as a heated carpet etc.
Precaution on exposure dose
• After exposure, S values are displayed in the im-
age display areas of this device. Check that the S
values indicate the appropriate dosage for exposed
images.
Precautions when performing exposure in Aero
Sync mode
• Confirm that the device is ready for exposure
through its display before performing exposure.
• Confirm that a confirmation is sounded from the de-
vice after the start of exposure.
• Do not let the AeroDR Detector vibrate or receive
shock until the preview image is displayed.
• Confirm that the AeroDR Detector's battery level is
full before performing exposure.
• Use within the range of the pre-checked exposure
conditions.

Precautions when sending exposure informa-

tion
• When sending exposure information to an external
X-ray device, check the exposure conditions on the
X-ray device. Be especially careful of X-ray expo-
sure conditions when performing an exposure on a
small child.

Precautions on the login control mode

• Be careful of password management.

Precautions when delivering an image from

this device to other devices
• Confirm that additional information such as set an-
notation is correct.

Precautions on the grid

• For grid during exposure, use 34-40 lp/cm. When
exposing with a grid other than specified, some-
times moire cannot be eliminated.
* For the AeroDR Detector, the grid to be used is
specified. Refer to the AeroDR SYSTEM Opera-
tion Manual for details.
