1.4 Product Usage Guide
 When using the equipment, take the following precautions. Otherwise, problems may
occur and the equipment may not function correctly.
1.4.1 Calibration

To ensure optimal system performance, it is important to verify that the system is calibrated correctly.

Check if the calibration is performed after the equipment is completed to be installed or repaired.

Do not try to use the system if the calibration has not been performed.

You can process calibration with the calibration data CD (provided).
 The calibration result can be different by the use environment. Therefore, if the result with
the provided calibration data is not satisfied, you can create the data at the field in
person by using VIVIX Setup, the calibration software.
1.4.2 Length Measurement

Before taking any length measurement on an image, carry out the length calibration with a reference
object and verify its results for correct measurement.
1.4.3 Left/Right Marker

The operator is responsible for making a correct and clear mark on the left or right side of the image.

The software includes a function to mark the image with L (left) or R (right) while acquiring the image
through printing and archiving.

Prepare an alternative way to prevent any confusion if the operator does not choose to use L/R marks.
1.4.4 Image Backup

To avoid missing images which might result in a patient being exposed to additional dose of radiation,
it is important to send images to PACS or backup images by using film or external storage media (CD,
DVD, HDD, USB).

If the hard disk of your workstation is about to be full, the operator should backup images to
somewhere else and delete them to make storage (memory) space in the hard disk for new patients.
 The image backup should be done as a routine operation for every patient and image.
