Safety and Related Information
EUROPEAN MARKETS only: This device is Class I, Type B medical equipment as defined by EN 60 601-1. AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE: Manager, Product Safety, Kodak AG; Hedelfingerstr. 54-56, 70327 Stuttgart, GERMANY. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. The use of accessory equipment not complying with the equivalent safety requirements of this equipment may lead to a reduced level of safety of the resulting system. Consideration relating to the choice shall include: • Use of the accessory in the patient vicinity. • Evidence that the safety certification of the accessory has been performed in accordance to the appropriate IEC 950 and/or IEC 601-1 and/or IEC 601-1-1 harmonized national standard. CAUTION:
The small footprint and specifications of the CR 800/850 Systems allow for flexibility in placement of the unit, including in the exam room. When installed in this manner, scatter radiation from the x-ray system may cause image artifacts in two scenarios: • When CR cassettes are stored in the exam room. Precaution: CR cassettes should not be stored in the exam room or kept in the exam room during individual patient studies. • When an exposed CR cassette is being scanned by the CR 800/850 System in the exam room during a subsequent x-ray exposure. Precaution: The potential exists for artifacts if one cassette is being processed while a second cassette is being exposed. If you experience image artifacts, we suggest you discontinue simultaneous exposing and processing of CR cassettes.

Overview
Product Description The Kodak DirectView CR 800/CR 900 Series systems process and produce digital images directly from latent images captured on storage phosphor screens. You can reproduce, reprocess, and distribute images to other output and storage devices. The CR Systems manage patient and examination information associated with the captured and stored images. They can interface with a PACS Broker such as Mitra to obtain patient demographic data from the site HIS/RIS system. The data is sent to the CR System where it is associated with the proper image. You can use the CR System to: • Read images on a phosphor screen using conventional X-ray generators. • Modify images and change image orientation. • Enter examination and patient information using the Kodak DirectView Remote Operations Panel (ROP), the bar code scanner, or the touch screen monitor. • Correct erroneous patient or examination information. • Store images that have incomplete patient or study data until the required data is added and the image is accepted. • Create collections of related images and data (a Study). • Send exams to DICOM storage devices, physician’s diagnostic viewing stations, and DICOM laser imagers. The CR 900/950 System is designed for use as a centralized processing unit serving multiple exposure rooms in conjunction with the Kodak DirectView Remote Operations Panel (ROP). See page 10-10 for information on using the ROP.
