Protect the PSPs from sunlight and ultraviolet
i
light
Store PSPs in a barrier envelope or plate
guide of the correct size
PSPs will be pre-exposed on exposure to nat-
i
ural radiation and stray X-ray radiation Pro-
tect erased or exposed imaging plates from X-
ray beams
If the PSP has been stored for longer than one
week, erase the PSP prior to use
Do not store PSPs under hot or moist condi-
i
tions Note the ambient conditions (see "4
Technical data")
When used properly, PSPs can be exposed,
i
read and erased several hundred times pro-
vided there is no mechanical damage
Replace the PSP if there are any signs of
damage, eg protective layer is damaged or
visible scratches, that could interfere with the
diagnosis
PSPs that have a production or packaging
i
defect will be replaced by Air Techniques in
the same quantity
Clean PSPs properly (see "12 Cleaning and
i
disinfection")

11 Operation

CAUTION
Image data on the phosphor storage
plate (PSP) is not permanent
The image data is altered by light, natu-
ral X-ray radiation and scattered X-ray
radiation This impairs the diagnostic in-
formation and clarity
Read the image data within 30 min-
i
utes of exposure
Never handle exposed PSPs without
i
the barrier envelope
Do not subject an exposed PSP to X-
i
ray radiation before and during the
scanning process
Do not X-ray during the scanning pro-
i
cess if the unit is in the same room as
the X-ray tube
11.1 X-ray
The procedure is described using a size
2 PSP as an example
Required accessories:
– PSP
– Barrier envelope of the same size as the PSP
WARNING
Risk of cross contamination when
not using the barrier envelope or
when using the barrier envelope
more than once
Do not use an phosphor storage plate
i
without a barrier envelope
Do not re-use the barrier envelope
i
(disposable item)
Preparing the X-ray
– The PSP has been cleaned
– The PSP is not damaged
If using it for the first time or if it has been
i
stored for over a week: erase the PSP (see
"114 Erasing the imaging plate")
