distributor.
The owner is responsible for ensuring that the system diagnostic is performed every year.
Do not try to use the system if the system diagnostic is failed.
Calibration
To ensure optimal performance of the system, it is important to verify that the system is calibrated.
The owner is responsible for ensuring that the system calibration is performed after the
system installation is completed or the system is repaired. Do not try to use the system if
system calibration is not performed.
Distances measurements
Distances measurements in millimeters are possible only after distance calibration has been performed using
a reference object (refer to VXvue User Manual).
The operator is responsible for performing distance calibration with a reference object and
verifying the results of the distance calibration before taking any distance measurements
on an image.
Left/Right Marker
The operator is responsible for the correct and clear marking on the left or right side of the image to eliminate
possible errors.
The software includes an option to mark the image with L (left) or R (right) indicator from acquisition phase
through printing and archiving. If the operator chose, for any reason, not to use L/R markers, he must use an
alternative way to eliminate any possible mistake.
Wireless Service Manual
Page 13 of 124 RA14-11A-022
Image Backup
To avoid missing images which might result in patient being exposed to additional doses of radiation, it is
important to backup the images by filming or by using a CD or DVD option. This should be done as a routine
operation for every patient.
If the hard disk of your workstation is about to full, the operator should backup images and delete the images
to make room on the hard disk for new patient.
User Limitations
The VXvue software has the technician mode which could only be operated with the inputting PASSWORD.
The technician mode should be operated by the personnel who are qualified by Vieworks.

the internal image sensor.
Excessive weight on the equipment may damage the internal image sensor.
It is recommended to use the case, in case if a patient should be positioned to put
pressure on the detector while acquiring images.
Load Limit Specifications
Uniform Load 150 ㎏ over the whole area of the detector surface
Local Load 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 would
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, child-
friendly 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.

Make sure to follow operating environmental requirements (Temp: +10℃ ~ +35℃).
If you use AED Mode out of operating environmental requirements, unwanted image
can be acquired without X-ray image acquiring.
Do not hit or drop the equipment. Unwanted images may be acquired in the AED
Mode if it receives strong jolt.
If you use a Grid under general imaging condition (Dose) or image a thick object in
the AED Mode, the efficiency of X-ray transformation may be reduced about 0% ~ 2%
compared to the DR Trigger Mode according to the thickness of the target.
If you image a thick object in the AED Mode with low X-ray tube voltage, an image
may not be acquired or horizontal line noise may occur.

Wireless Service Manual
Page 88 of 124 RA14-11A-022
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.
Wireless Service Manual
Page 89 of 124 RA14-11A-022
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 generator. The default
value is 1 ㎳.
Wireless Service Manual
Page 90 of 124 RA14-11A-022
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 1 1.2 1.5
CsI Detector Sensitivity ratio 0.62 1 1.14 1.33
The owner is responsible for ensuring that the Gain Pixel Correction is performed after
adjusting the Gain Type.

Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is the passed down through the MAC,
through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are
initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF
transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on
only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device
automatically discontinues transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or
operational failure.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
FCC CAUTION
