Load Limit Specifications

Uniform Load

Local Load

150 ㎏ over the whole area of the detector surface
100 ㎏ on an area 40 ㎜ in diameter

Pediatric Application

 Every request should be reviewed by the pediatric radiologist prior to beginning the examination to

insure correct study is being performed.

 If the technologist notices an unusual request, they should contact the pediatric radiologist. An example

should be from pediatric clinic where they order a Full Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar Spine series. The
pediatric radiologist should contact ordering physician and decide which study is the best for this
pediatric patient.

 The technologist should use the proper technique for the patient’s size to decrease the radiation dose

when the technologist acquires diagnostic images.

 ALL Pediatric patients shall be shielded for their x-ray examinations, except for when the shield will

obscure the region of interest, as in a pelvic or SI joint xray for trauma or arthritis, or when it is physically
or clinically unreasonable to shield the patient. For routine Hip X-Rays, ALL male children shall have
their scrotum shielded using the small gonadal shield, females may not be shielded as this wou ld
obscure the hips.

 To minimize motion in infants and young children, swaddle the infant. Use distraction tools to improve

cooperation and projectors with child-friendly themes, music, toys with flashing lights or music, child­friendly images on the ceiling or walls, singing, counting, and a parent reading and talking to the child
through the console all can help reduce anxiety and comfort the child.

 A Scoliosis series will consist of a single frontal standing view of the spine. No lateral view or supine

view is needed, unless specifically asked for by the Orthopedist or Radiologist. If the female’s breasts
can be shielded without obscuring the spine, breast shields should be used.

Figure 1.1 ViVIX-S Wireless System Configuration

Wireless communication is established between the ViVIX-S Wireless detector and System Control Unit. The
ViVIX-S system is compliant with IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n (2.4 ㎓ / 5 ㎓). The available frequency band may
vary depending on local radio laws and system requirements. Consult your local dealer for the frequency
available in your area.

Use of multiple WLAN devices within the same frequency band may interfere with each
wireless communication and cause a decline in transmission speed.

Do not cover or block the wireless module of the detector. Otherwise, the transmission
speed or operable distance may be reduced.

Page 87 of 124 RA14-11A-022

Wireless Service Manual

5.4.1.1 Setting Exposure Mode

User can set the detector to three different exposure modes according to the connection type to the X-ray
generator. Select the desired mode on System configuration.

For detailed information on X-ray exposure mode, refer to

2.6.1 X-ray Exposure Mode.

5.4.1.2 Timing Setting

To acquire correct images, exact timing setting must be made according to the characteristics of the X-ray
generator.

Page 88 of 124 RA14-11A-022

Wireless Service Manual

Exposure section

Exposure section indicates the period (unit: ㎳) that the detector converts X-rays to image signals. This
value needs to be set longer than the exposure time of X-ray generator to prevent X-rays loss while
converting X-rays to image signals. If you change the time settings, refresh the Post-offset data and generate
new GAIN data to acquire optimized images.

The recommended Exposure section value is 500 ㎳ (Standard).

Pre Exposure section

The Pre Exposure section is allowed to use when delay is occurred until the generator receives EXP-OK
signal from the detector and prepares X-ray generation. Pre Exposure section is set as 0 ㎳ normally,

however, it is recommend to set the actual delay time of generator’s X-ray generation with measurements to
achieve the best performance of the detector. The detector sends EXP_OK signal to the generator, then
transforms X-ray into image signal after the time set in the Pre Exposure section.

EXP OK Delay section

EXP OK Delay section is delay time from when the detector detects exposure request signal (EXP_REQ)
from the X-ray generator to when the detector sends exposure respond signal (EXP_OK) to the X-ray
generator. Some X-ray generators need some time to prepare detecting EXP_OK signal after sending
EXP_REQ signal. This value is determined according to the specifications of X-ray gener at or. The default
value is 1 ㎳.

Page 89 of 124 RA14-11A-022

Wireless Service Manual

Debounce_DR

Debounce_DR is used to remove unwanted trigger signal occurred due to external noise when DR Trigger is
set as Exposure Mode. It is recommended to use the Debounce_DR setting value as default 3 ㎳. We
recommend setting the minimum exposure time of X-ray generator to more than 3 ㎳. If the value is set to
less than 3 ㎳, the detector may not acquire images.

Debounce_AED

Debounce_AED is used to prevent unwanted imaging occurred due to external noise when AED is set as
Exposure Mode. It is recommended to use the default values set by manufacturer. We recommend setting
the minimum exposure time of X-ray generator to more than the value set in the Debounce_AED. If the value
is set to less than the settings in the Debounce_AED, the detector may not acquire images.
If unwanted images are acquired without X-ray exposure while operating the equipment, set Debounce_AED
with 1 ㎳ increments. However, make sure not to exceed 5 ㎳ since an image degradation may appear in
the image if Debounce AED exceeds 5 ㎳.

5.4.1.3 Gain Type Setting

To acquire X-ray image with proper brightness, adjust the Gain Type setting. You can select the Gain Type to
adjust the sensitivity of the detector, then you can acquire X-ray images with desired brightness according to
the specifications of X-ray generator or the type of objects. The default gain type is 1.
The following table describes each Gain Type of the sensitivity ratio.

Gain Type 0 1 2 3

Gadox Detector Sensitivity ratio 0.86
CsI Detector Sensitivity ratio 0.62
