Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you very much for deciding on FireCR – Computed Radiography Scanner.
The FireCR System is ideal for a wide range of Computed Radiography examinations in
specialty practices such as chiropractors, podiatrists and orthopedists.
Also the FireCR is well suited for small clinics, and mobile units, performing directly at the
patient with one compact and affordable package.
The FireCR can be configured for nearly every clinical application, and is designed for full
DICOM connectivity, and allows user to setup the system to capture high quality X-ray images
of any body parts with minimal steps including reading, processing, displaying and sending of
the high quality image. All imaging parameters are optimized, resulting in digital images that
can be enhanced, enlarged, duplicated, and sent to any location as a DICOM 3.0 file format in
seconds with no loss of resolution.
Combine the system with reusable phosphor screen equipped FireCR cassettes and portable
X-ray equipment, it can be used for X-ray exams everywhere it is needed, e.g. nursing facilities,
forensic institutions, employee screenings etc.
The FireCR System is ideal for Computed Radiography examinations in busy clinics and
specialty practices. Affordable, rugged, compact, lightweight, fast and effective FireCR System
enables all imaging functions to be performed with the advanced image management software,
a solution that can be adapted most clinical applications.
The FireCR Computed Radiography solution with enhanced workflow and improved productivity
are the best solution for medium sized healthcare facilities and clinics. The FireCR System
complements centralized CR and DR environments such as clinics, ER and OR departments.

Note 1) Uт is the A.C. mains voltage prior to application of the test level.
Note 2) At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
Note 3) These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and
land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted
theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an
electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the
EUT is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the EUT should be observed to
verifynormal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such
as re-orienting or relocating the EUT.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than [V1] V / m.
Recommended Separation Distances Between Portable and Mobile RF Communications
Equipment and the FireCR system.
The FireCR system is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The user of the FireCR system can help prevent electromagnetic
interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment (transmitters) and the FireCR system as recommended below,
according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended
separation distance (d) in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the
frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in
watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.

Chapter 6. Warranty and Repair Service
6.1. Standard Warranty
3D Imaging & Simulations Corp. warrants its non-consumable hardware products to be free
from defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty covers the cost of parts and labor to
repair the product. Please keep the shipping container for future use. Products returned to
the factory for repair should be properly packaged. To obtain warranty service, follow the
procedure described in the Repair Service section. Failure to do so will cause long delays and
additional expense to the customer.
The warranty is valid when the product is used for its intended purpose and does not cover
products which have been modified without written permission from 3D Imaging & Simulations
Corp., or which have been damaged by abuse, accident or connection to incompatible
equipment.
This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied.
6.2. Repair Service
The company reserves the right to cease providing repair maintenance, parts and technical
support for its non-consumable hardware products five years after a product is discontinued.
Technical support for old versions of software products will cease 12 months after they are
upgraded or discontinued.
6.3. Out of Warranty Repair Service
Out of warranty repair service is available. Contact the supplier for current rates.

6.4. Shipping
The FireCR is a solidly built system designed to survive shipping around the world. However,
in order to avoid damage during shipping, the FireCR must be properly packaged.
In general, the best way to package the FireCR is in the original factory container. If this is no
longer available, we recommend that user carefully wraps the FireCR in at least 75mm (3 inch)
of foam or bubble pack sheeting. The wrapped device should then be placed in a sturdy
cardboard carton. Mark the outside of the box with word FRAGILE and an arrow showing
which way is up.
We do not recommend using loose foam pellets to protect the FireCR. If the carton is dropped
by the shipper, there is a good chance that the device will shift within the loose pellet packing
and be damaged.
It is user’s responsibility to package the system properly before shipping. If the packaging is
inadequate, and the system is damaged during shipping, the shipper will not honor user’s claim
for compensation.
