• The screen is very flexible. Handle with care to avoid dropping it.
• Hold screen by the edges and by the back side (The side that faces away from the x-ray tubes).
• Wipe the screen with a clean, nonabrasive, lint-free cloth and screen-cleaning solution.
• Take care not to scratch the active surface during cleaning.
Note: The scanner manufacturer recommends using Kodak screen cleaner to clean the imaging
screens. To obtain screen-cleaning solution, contact Carestream Health at 1-800-328-2910 and
request catalog number 845 4977.
IMPORTANT: Kodak screen cleaner should be used only with Kodak screens.
CAUTION: Do not use alcohol or alcohol-based products on Kodak screens. Avoid letting
the imaging screen come in contact with isopropyl alcohol (isoprapanol, rubbing alcohol),
hydrogen peroxide and other peroxides, citrus-based cleaners, hand lotions and waterless
hand sanitizers, as well as surfacants and lubricants. These materials may cause visible or
hidden damage to the screen and could result in immediate or future image artifacts.

3. Push the slider towards the edge of the cassette until the edge of the screen is visible.
4.Carefully pull the screen out and place it on a clean, dust-free surface.
Tube side
ote: Observe which side of the screen faces the top side (toward the x-ray tube). This is the
N
side to be cleaned.
5. Fold a nonabrasive, lint-free wipe or cloth, and dampen with a small amount of cleaning
solution. Do not pour the cleaner directly onto the screen! Excessive amounts of solution
may damage the screen.
6. Wipe the screen gently and thoroughly, one section at a time. Fold the cloth to expose a fresh
area for each section of the screen.
