Important
Failure to routinely clean the screens with a recommended solution may create the following result:
The screen may not move smoothly from the cassette into the reader, causing an error message.
The screen may not fully return to the cassette at the end of the cycle, preventing the cassette from latching; no
error message appears.
Image artifacts may appear.
Cleaning Materials
Several soft, lint-free cloths
Screen cleaner: CAT number 845-4977
Cleaning Method
Caution
Read and follow the instructions in the manufacturers Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) prior to use.
Caution
Never insert a phosphor screen into a cassette unless the screen and cassette are thoroughly dry.
Caution
Cleaning materials other than those recommended can contain chemicals that cause visible or hidden damage to the
screen or cassette and could result in immediate or future image artifacts. Never use isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol,
rubbing alcohol) to clean screens or cassettes.
1. Dampen the cloth with a small amount of screen cleaner. Do not pour screen cleaner directly onto the screen.
2. Wipe the screen thoroughly, one side at a time, applying pressure to remove persistent contaminations if
necessary.
3. Using another dry cloth, wipe the screen thoroughly dry. Do not leave the screen to air dry.
