Product Description

The Kodak X-Omatic IDENTIFICATION CAMERA, MODELS 4, 4L, and 4SL (referred to as the ID CAMERA from hereon), records patient identification data onto x-ray film in lighttight CASSETTES.

The ID CAMERA provides:

•Dual lenses for use with C-1 and C-1N windows for MODELS 4 and 4L

•Excellent image quality due to high-quality lenses

•Operation in normal room illumination

•The exact time and date of the exposure recorded on the film with customizable date and time formats

•The serial number of the camera is recorded on the film by all models in all lens positions except the C-1N lens position on the MODEL 4SL.

•Choice of both anterior-posterior (A-P) and posterior-anterior (P-A) imaging

•MODEL 4 records patient data on the upper corner of the film

•MODELS 4L and 4SL records patient data on the lower corner of the film

Environmental Requirements

The ID CAMERA will operate in the ambient room conditions normally encountered in an x-ray department:

•15˚C to 30˚C (59˚F to 86˚F)

•15% to 76% Relative Humidity

Cassettes

The ID CAMERA will function with the following CASSETTES:

•All sizes of Kodak X-Omatic CASSETTES with C-1 windows

•All sizes of Kodaflex CASSETTES with C-1 windows

•All sizes of Kodak Min-R 2 CASSETTES with C-1N windows

Power Requirements

Both MODELS will operate correctly from 100 to 240 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz. MODELS 4 and 4L come preset to operate on 120 V AC. Each ID CAMERA is internally switchable to operate on any of the following voltage ranges:

		Frequency
	Model	(Hz)	V AC 10%	Fuse
		50 or 60	100	UL/CSA 3 A
		50 or 60	120	UL/CSA 3 A
	4, 4L, and 4SL	50 or 60	220	TUV 1 A
		50 or 60	230	TUV 1 A

(b)Press the DATE BUTTONS to select the date you want. The DATE BUTTONS are programmed to the date format for your country.

•For example, if your date format is month/day/year, the left BUTTON controls the month, the middle BUTTON controls the day, and the right BUTTON controls the year.

•If your date format is day/month/year, the left BUTTON controls the day, the middle BUTTON controls the month, and the right BUTTON controls the year.

•If your date format is year/month/day, the left BUTTON controls the year, the middle BUTTON controls the month, and the right BUTTON controls the day.

(c)Continue to press the appropriate DATE BUTTONS until the correct date is displayed on the LCD PANEL.

(d)Press the TIME BUTTONS to select the time you want. The TIME BUTTONS are programmed to your time format, either a 12or 24-hour clock. In both the 12and 24-hour time formats, the left TIME BUTTON controls the hour, and the right TIME BUTTON controls the minutes.

(e)Continue to press the TIME BUTTONS until the correct time is displayed on the LCD PANEL.

(f)Press the DENSITY INCREASE BUTTON only, approximately 2 - 3 seconds, until the DATE and TIME DISPLAYS stop flashing.

Note

•The DENSITY BUTTONS are deactuated while the DATE and TIME DISPLAYS are flashing.

•The time or date cannot be changed if a PATIENT ID CARD is in either the P-A or A-P CARD SLOT.

(g)Check that the density setting is correct. If necessary, change the density setting.

Clearing the Date and Time

To clear the date and time, or set the date and time to “0”, de-energize the CAMERA, press the DENSITY DECREASE BUTTON, and then press the POWER BUTTON. This clears, or resets, the microprocessor.

Recording Patient Data

[1]Prepare a patient IDENTIFICATION CARD for a CASSETTE that has exposed but unprocessed x-ray film.

[2]See the following list and illustration for the specifications of the IDENTIFICATION CARD.

•Minimum size: 15.24 x 5.72 cm (6 x 21⁄4 in.)
