About These Instructions for Use
These Instructions for Use are intended to assist users in the safe and effective operation of the
product described. Before attempting to operate the product, you must read these Instructions
for Use, noting and strictly observing all WARNING and CAUTION notices. Pay special attention
to all the information given and procedures described in the “Safety” section.
These Instructions for Use are part of the system. They shall be kept in the immediate vicinity of
the system so that they are accessible at any time.
WARNING
A WARNING alerts you to a potential serious outcome, adverse event or safety hazard. Fail‐
ure to observe a warning may result in death or serious injury to the user or patient.
CAUTION
A CAUTION alerts you to where special care is necessary for the safe and effective use of the
product. Failure to observe a caution may result in minor or moderate personal injury or
damage to the product or other property, and possibly in a remote risk of more serious in‐
jury, and/or cause environmental pollution.
NOTICE
A NOTICE is used to identify special advice, for example to assist the operator or to improve an
operating sequence.

Intended UseWorth Knowing
Depending on the configuration, other Instructions for Use may be delivered with the system,
and these should be consulted for safety instructions, calibration, test procedures and maintenance.
For installation, see the system's service documentation.
These Instructions for Use were originally drafted, approved and supplied by Philips in the English language.
Intended Use
The DigitalDiagnost C90 is intended to acquire, process, store, display and export digital radiographic images. The DigitalDiagnost C90 is suitable for all routine radiography examinations, including specialist areas like intensive care, trauma or pediatric work, excluding fluoroscopy, angiography and mammography.
Indications for Use
The system is suitable for all routine radiographic examinations, including specialist areas such
as intensive care, trauma, or pediatric work. Also advanced applications such as Bone Suppression shall be performed with the system.
Standard radiography procedures are, for example:
• X-ray examinations of the skeleton including skull, chest, spine, pelvis, upper extremities,
lower extremities, etc.
• X-ray examinations of the lungs
• X-ray examinations of soft tissue such as abdomen
• Overview image of the whole spine in vertical and horizontal patient position
• Overview image of the complete leg in vertical and horizontal patient position
The user has the following exposure techniques available:
• Detector exposure with a vertical, horizontal and/or oblique radiation beam
• Free exposure technique for free SkyPlate detector
• Free exposure technique for CR systems of Philips or other vendors and film cassettes
• Automatic exposure technique: AEC-kV-mA, AEC-kV with falling load
Intended Operator Profile
The system is used with different configurations. It is to be operated by radiographers (technologists). In some cases or countries it is to be operated by especially trained nurses or doctors
when no radiographer is available. Radiographers mostly schedule, prepare, perform, and final-
Philips4512 987 46122 AA/712 * MAR 2020

Worth KnowingContraindications
ize X-ray examinations and are responsible for the administrative work as well. The operator
must be able to physically operate the system. This includes sufficient capabilities in hearing,
vision, and mobility.
Minimum skills:
• Knowledge in westernized Arabic numerals
• Knowledge in general radiographic positioning and procedures
• Knowledge in anatomy
• Knowledge in radiation protection
• Knowledge in hygiene and basic infection control
The detailed qualifications required to operate an X-ray system are defined by local legal regulations.
Contraindications
No absolute contraindications are given for standard radiology. Due to the nature of X-ray procedures, the patient is exposed to radiation. Adverse health effects exist and are well known.
Therefore, the responsible radiologist must assess risks and benefits. The radiologist must identify relative contraindications, depending, for example, on available alternative diagnosis technologies.
Target Population
The DigitalDiagnost system is intended to support examinations on any kind of patient group
(all patients that enter the facility). Patients might be handicapped, immobile or frightened.
There are situations when it is indicated to avoid any unnecessary movement of the patient (for
example, multiple traumas). Typically, the patients are ill or suspected to be ill.
Patients can be:
• Very young or very old (from newborn to >100 years)
Plain radiography can provide detailed information to diagnose, plan treatment and evaluate
many conditions in adults and children. The DigitalDiagnost C90 system allows convenient and
reliable handling of standard radiographic examinations. In combination with state of the art
flat panel detectors and software, the system significantly minimizes the radiation exposure of
patients and personnel due to low dose exposure techniques. The detailed images provided by
X-ray imaging may eliminate the need for exploratory surgery. Furthermore, a software program tracks the patient doses for effective dose management in each clinic. The implemented
Bone Suppression feature improves the detection of abnormalities in chest radiographs (for
adult patients in erect position) and can increase the diagnostic value of the examination.
Stitching
Stitching of X-ray images is of interest in case of disease patterns like scoliosis or asymmetries in
the structure of leg bones. Under circumstances like these, a measurement of the leg or spine
as a whole is necessary.
SkyFlow
Scatter correction algorithm: It reduces the effect of scattered radiation for bedside chest examinations without grid. It saves time with grid-less workflow and benefits from automatic
image contrast enhancement.
UNIQUE 2
Philips has redesigned the image processing algorithm (UNIQUE) for X-ray projection images.
UNIQUE is a multiscale enhancement algorithm, which decomposes a radiograph into separate
channels representing structures of different sizes (“scales”). At each scale, the contrast of the
structures may be enhanced individually, which allows to achieve a good representation of all
clinically relevant image details in the resulting image. Compared to its predecessor, the redesigned version (UNIQUE 2) features several technical improvements, such as an improved global contrast enhancement and a more sophisticated noise suppression.
Prohibited Use
The display of the Eleva Tube Head and the monitor of the Eleva Workspot are not suitable for
routine diagnostic image reading.
The cassette reader is not allowed to work with cassettes and imaging plates other than specified.
