Connectivity
Topics:

• Wireless Communication

Wireless Communication
Wireless communication is established between the internal wireless module
of the DR Detector and the NX workstation via the wireless access point. The
DR Detector is compliant with IEEE 802.11n (2.4 GHz/5 GHz). The available
frequency band varies depending on local radio laws and system
requirements. The frequency band (channel) of the DR Detector is selected at
installation.
Note: Use of multiple pieces of equipment that use the same
frequency band (channel) may interfere with each wireless
communication and cause a decline in transmission speed.

Note: Before introducing other wireless equipment to the same

environment where the DR Detector is set up, consult the system
engineer or qualified personnel at the medical site.

Note: Do not place obstacles in the way of the wireless access point
or of the antenna of the internal wireless module of the DR
Detector. Otherwise, the properties of wireless communication,
such as the throughput and operable distance, may decrease.

Note: Transmitting the image data to the NX workstation takes a

number of seconds. After making an exposure, stay with the
detector in the direct neighbourhood of the wireless access point
until the image is available on the NX workstation.

Wireless communication in the bucky

In a configuration using communication via the internal wireless adapter of
the workstation, the properties of wireless communication, such as the
throughput and operable distance, may decrease if the DR Detector is in the
bucky.
For applications using the bucky, it is strongly recommended to install an
external access point.

0290A EN 20180628 1053

 DX-D 40C, DX-D 40G | Introduction to the DR Detector | 33

Installation
Installation and configuration is performed by an Agfa trained and authorized
service engineer. Contact your local support organization for more
information.
On a configuration with multiple DR Detectors of the same type, it is required
to apply labeling to the DR Detector containing a unique nickname for each

Guidelines for Pediatric Applications

CAUTION:
Children are more radiosensitive than adults. Adopting the
Image Gently campaign guidelines and reducing dose for
radiographic procedures while maintaining acceptable clinical
image quality will benefit patients.
Please review the following link and reduce pediatric technique factors
accordingly: http://www.imagegently.org
As a general rule, next recommendations shall be observed in pediatrics:
• X-Ray Generator must have short exposures times.
• ΑΕC must be used carefully, preferably use manual technique setting,
applying lower doses.
• If possible, use high kVp techniques.
Positioning the pediatric patient: Pediatric patients are not as likely as adults
to understand the need to remain still during the procedure. Therefore it
makes sense to provide aids to maintaining stable positioning. It is strongly
recommended the use of immobilizing devices such as bean bags and restraint
systems (foam wedges, adhesive tapes, etc.) to avoid the need of repeating
exposures due to the movement of the pediatric patients. Whenever possible
use techniques based on the lowest exposure times.
Shielding: We recommend you provide extra shielding of radiosensitive
organs or tissues such as eyes, gonads and thyroid glands. Applying a correct
collimation will help to protect the patient against excessive radiation as well.
Please review the following scientific literature regarding pediatric
radiosensitivity: GROSSMAN, Herman. “Radiation Protection in Diagnostic
Radiography of Children”. Pediatric Radiology, Vol. 51, (No. 1): 141--144,
January, 1973:
http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/cgi/reprint/51/1/141.
Technique factors: You should take steps to reduce technique factors to the
lowest possible levels consistent with good image acquisition.
For example if your adult abdomen settings are: 70--85 kVp, 200--400 mA,
15--80 mAs, consider starting at 65--75 kVp, 100--160 mA, 2.5--10 mAs for a
pediatric patient. Whenever possible use high kVp techniques and large SID
(Source Image Distance).
Summary:
• Image only when there is a clear medical benefit.
• Image only the indicated area.
• Use the lowest amount of radiation for adequate imaging based on size of
the child (reducing tube output -- kVp and mAs).
• Try to use always short exposure times, large SID values and immobilizing
devices.

0290A EN 20180628 1053

80 | DX-D 40C, DX-D 40G | Getting started

• Avoid multiple scans and use alternative diagnostic studies (such as

ultrasound or MRI) when possible.

Figure 17: Remove the battery

Note: When the detector will not be used for some time, remove
the battery. Otherwise, overdischarge may occur, leading to a
shorter battery life.

Note: When not in use, keep the detector, handle unit with grid
in a designated location or in a location where they are safe
and cannot fall down.

0290A EN 20180628 1053

82 | DX-D 40C, DX-D 40G | Getting started

Automatic exposure detection

The DR detector detects X-ray exposure to automatically perform the image
acquisition.
Before performing the exposure, the DR detector must be ready. Check the
status of the DR detector in the DR Detector Switch.
WARNING:
The sensor for automatic exposure detection must be in the
exposed area. Positioning the sensor for automatic exposure
detection outside the exposed area can cause failure to trigger
the image acquisition.
WARNING:
Do not hit or drop the equipment. If it receives a strong jolt,
image acquisition can be triggered without X-ray exposure.

WARNING:
Very short exposure time can cause failure to trigger the image
acquisition. Use an exposure time of at least 3 ms.

WARNING:
Specific exposure conditions (use of grid, thickness of the
exposed object) can cause failure to trigger the image
acquisition or horizontal artifacts in the acquired image.

CAUTION:
Excessive ambient temperature may impact performance of DR
Detectors and cause permanent damage to the equipment. If
ambient temperature and humidity is outside the range of 10 -
35 °C and 30 - 85% RH, do not operate the system or use air
conditioning. Warranty will be void if it is obvious that
operating conditions are not met.

WARNING:
The field strength of stationary transmitters, such as base
stations of radio telephones, mobile broadcasts for rural
areas, amateur stations, and AM and FM radio transmitters,
cannot be precisely predetermined theoretically. An investi-
gation of the location is recommended, to ascertain the elec-
tromagnetic environment as a result of stationary high fre-
quency transmitters. If the field strength of the device ex-
ceeds the level of agreement given above, the device must be
observed with regard to its normal operation at each place of
use. In case of unusual performance characteristics, it can be
necessary to take additional measures, such as the re-orien-
tation of the device, for example.
WARNING:
The field strength will be lower than 3 V/m above the fre-
quency range from 150 kHz to 80 MHz.

WARNING:
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripher-
als such as antenna cables and external antenns) should be
used no closer than 30cm (12 inches) to any part of the DR
detector, including cables specified for use with the equip-
ment. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this
equipment could result.
