Positioning of the CR Us er Station

The CR U se r Station can be used in two differe nt ways :

• As stand-alone:

CR User Station: stand-alon e

• Combined with a Digitizer:

CR User Station: with Digitizer

The CR User Station can be combined with the Digitizer C R 25.0 and the
ADC Solo).

When combined with a Digitizer, the CR User Station is always
positio ned a t the le ft side . It is not a ttached to t he Dig itizer, so i t can be
removed easily for service purposes.

CR USER STATION

Possible configu rations

The ID Station allows you to link t he patient demog raphic data and stu dy
data of an exposure to the corresponding image. The ID Station can be
used in three distinct configurations:

• Dedicated Configuration:

Configuration with a server. The CR User Station and the Digitizer are
dedicated to one Server.

• Interchangeable Configuration:

Configur ation with client or server PC. The CR User Station can serve a
range of Digitizers.

• Configuration with Direct ID:

Configur ati on with a server PC tha t is dedic ate d to on e Dig iti zer.

CR USER STATION

Dedicated configuration

The dedicated configuration is an All-in-one solutio n. Together with a PC
that acts as a serv er and a Digiti zer (e. g. CR 25.0) an optim al w orkf low can
be reached. The cassette is first identified with the includ ed ID Tablet and is
inserted in the Digitizer afterwards.

The ded icated con figur ation red uces th e time r equired for t he identif ication
of the cassette, the scanning and the view of the images because all
actions can be performed in the same room.

CR USER STATION

Interchangeable configuration

In an interchangeable configuration one or more CR User Stations can
serve a range of Dig itiz ers .

In this configuration, a cassette can be identified with any of the
CR Use r Stations a nd can be scan ned by using a ny of the Digi tizers. The
patient demographic data and study data are entered via the
CR UserStation and stored in the memory chip of the cassette. As a result
the identifi cation data ar e linked to the cassette, an d any Digitizer can be
used to scan the cass ette.

This configuration allows the flexible use of several Digitizers and
CR Use r Stations, de pen din g on the worklo ad .

CR User Station(s)
with ID Tablet

The trans mission of the identification data to the casse tte chip takes pla ce
when you insert the cassette into the transmission slot of the
CR Use r Station’s ID Tablet . Wh en the c assette is r ead in the Digitize r, th e
ADC Qual ity System links th e demographic da ta to the image. T he study
data are used to set the imag e pr oce ssing paramete rs .

Interchangeable Configuration

2313B EN 20041109

CR USER STATION

Configuration with Direct ID

In this configuration the cassettes can be identified without using an
ID Tablet. The Digitizer is dedicate d to one ID Station and the ID data is
transmitted via the network.

This conf iguration re duces ident ification ti me and scanning of the cassette
because bo th action s can be pe rform ed simultan eously.

Safety precautions

General safety instructions

• The CR User Station complies with the EN 60950 standard for Information

Technology. This means that, although it is absolutely safe, patients may
not come in direct contact with the equipment. Therefore the operator
console must be placed outside a radius of 1.5 m around the patient.

• Perform no other operations on the CR Us er Station than those described

in this document.

• Pay attention when working near the pedest al: the foot projec ts s lightly and

could be tripped on. When rolling the pedestal away from its position, take
care not to pull or put any strain on power or network leads.

• When moving the CR User Station, take care that it remains stable at all

times. In particular, the following considerations should be kept in mind:

• the nature of the floor and any floor-coverings, carpets, etc.;

• any obstructions such as cables;

• any slopes to be negotiated.

• To avoid collisions and instability the monitor must be turned over the

ID Tablet when moving over longer distances, as shown below:

• REMARK 1: T he higher value will apply at 80 MHz and 800 MHz.

• REMARK 2: These Guidelines may not apply to all situations. The dispersion of
electromagnetic waves is influenced by absorption and reflections from buildings,
objects and people.

a. The field strength of stationary transmitters, such as base stations of radio telephones, mobile

broadcasts for rural areas, amateur stations, and AM and FM radio transmitters, cannot be
precisely predetermined theoretically. An investigation of the location is recommended, to
ascertain the electromagnetic environment as a result of stationary high frequency transmitters.
If the field strength of the device exceeds the level of agreement given above, the device must
be observed with regard to its normal operation at each place of use. In case of unusual
performance characteristics, it can be necessary to take additional measures, such as the re­orientation of the device, for example.
