4343W X-ray Detector 8.7 X-ray Detector Battery R EFERENCE M ANUAL This section describes installing and removing the Battery, Battery charge status, and Battery hot-swap. 8.7.1 1 Note New Batteries are shipped from Varex in shut-down mode. Before installing into the X-ray Detector, the Battery must be inserted into the 1 or 3-bay charger to remove it from shut-down mode. Note For additional information about the Varex Imaging Wireless Battery and Chargers, visit www.vareximaging.com.
8.7.2 Battery Removal 1 Press-in the Battery latch until an audible click is heard. The latch will stay in closed position. 2 Place a finger in opening on either side of the latch and lift the battery out. Figure 9 Unlatch Battery Figure 10 Battery Removal WARNING Do not use the Battery Latch as a handle. Ignoring this warning may cause damage to the Battery Latch or increase the likelihood that the X-ray Detector may be dropped causing substantial product damage. www.vareximaging.

8.9 Designing a Custom Inductive Battery Charger The OEM may design an Inductive Battery Charger following certain guidelines provided by Varex Imaging. Please contact your appointed Varex representative for information and requirements in designing a custom Inductive Battery Charger. See“Section 12.1, After-sales Service for Varex Imaging Products” on page 56 for contact information.
4343W X-ray Detector 8.10 Using a Third-Party Inductive Battery Charger Any third-party Inductive Battery Charger meeting the Qi 1.2 standard at 15 watts may be used for battery charging outside of the Bucky Tray. Refer to Figure 15 for the location of the inductive charger receiver on the X-ray Detector for integrating a third-party Inductive Battery Charger. R EFERENCE M ANUAL WARNING Third-party Inductive Battery Chargers must not be used in the Bucky Tray.
8.11 Power-on and Power-off Sequence To Power-on: 1 Insert the Battery into the 1 or 3-bay charger to remove from shut-down mode (only applies to Batteries that are new). 2 Place Battery into X-ray Detector making sure the Battery latches into place, see Section 8.7.1 and Section 8.7.2.

8.15 Detector Sharing The 4343W X-ray Detector is equipped with Detector Sharing capability. Detector Sharing allows the IP address, password, and SSID to be set via software command. The software command for Detector Sharing can be sent via wireless or the Service Cable. Refer to document 03236 FP-2032 - Varex Smart Panel Software Interface for more information. 9.0 The Detector Configuration File A configuration file will ship with the X-ray Detector.
4343W X-ray Detector 10.0 System Software The 4343W deploys the Varex Smart Panel (VSP) architecture. X-ray Detector software is composed of two parts: • Software necessary to capture, process, and correct X-ray images (embedded in the detector). R EFERENCE M ANUAL • The VSP COMM workstation libraries comprise the VSP SDK.
If corrections are not turned on (i.e. raw frames), multiple frames will be delivered to the workstation, see Figure 19. Figure 19 Exposure: Raw Frames 10.2 vTrigger Acquisition (AED) The vTrigger acquisition is controlled by hardware. Using vTrigger requires that the software is set to a configuration mode that enables vTrigger. These modes give the OEM the benefit of not requiring any hardware synchronization with the generator.
4343W X-ray Detector R EFERENCE M ANUAL 10.3 X-ray Generator Interface Signals Normally a set of hardware signals are used to interface between the X-ray Detector and the X-ray generator and hand switch. For example, PREP and REQ are two hand switch signals that are typically used to indicate the user request for an X-ray exposure. Typically PREP (Prepare) indicates the user’s input that X-ray exposure is imminent, while REQ (Request) indicates the user’s input for immediate X-ray exposure.
R EFERENCE M ANUAL 4343W X-ray Detector It should be noted that corrections files are not stored on the workstation. Corrections and configuration files are stored on the X-ray Detector. Note Refer to: 03236 FP2032_VarexSmartPanel_SoftwareInterfaceSpecification.pdf which provides API documentation for the software. Note 10.4.2 For assistance operating ViVA, consult the ViVA Online help documentation.
4343W X-ray Detector 10.5 X-ray Detector Calibration X-ray Detector calibration files are stored inside the detector non-volatile memory. There are three calibration files per mode: offset, gain, and defects. The calibration files are used for corrections during image acquisition. R EFERENCE M ANUAL Note 10.5.1 After a calibration, ensure the new calibration files are used by closing and re-opening the link to the X-ray Detector.
2 R EFERENCE M ANUAL 4343W X-ray Detector Click the Offset Calibration Button or click Offset Calibration from the menu bar under Acquisition. Figure 21 Initiate Offset Calibration 3 A Calibration Setting window appears. 4 Enter the number of frames desired and click OK. Figure 22 Calibration Setting window www.vareximaging.
4343W X-ray Detector R EFERENCE M ANUAL 5 An Offset Calibration Progress window appears. Figure 23 Offset Calibration Progress 6 Once all frames are acquired, the X-ray Detector is updated with the averaged offset calibration frame for the current mode. The updated message will show on the progress window and calibration process is complete. 7 Click Close. Figure 24 Finish Offset Calibration 30 www.vareximaging.
10.5.3 Gain Calibration To compensate for non-uniformities in the X-ray Detector, a gain reference image (flat field) is used by the Corrections module to correct all images. The flat field image must be captured by the Varex Smart Panel (VSP) prior to acquiring images. The process of capturing the flat field image is known as Gain Calibration. Note The Gain calibration process will include automatically running an Offset calibration to ensure that the detector is properly calibrated.
R EFERENCE M ANUAL 4343W X-ray Detector Note We recommend accumulating 32 frames for gain calibration and 8 frames for offset calibration for optimal image quality. Note Gain Calibration should be performed at least once per year. The actual number of calibration frames used is determined by the system integrator depending upon their specific performance requirements. The general procedure for Gain calibration for all modes is described in Table 10.
10.5.4 1 R EFERENCE M ANUAL 4343W X-ray Detector Gain Calibration Steps Choose the desired imaging mode from the Mode Drop Down Menu. Figure 25 Mode Drop Down Menu 2 Under the Acquisition menu, click Gain Calibration. This invokes hardware handshaking for the dark field calibration. Figure 26 Initiate Gain Calibration WARNING In order to acquire an image with X-ray exposure in vTrigger mode, Hardware Handshaking must be enabled, see Figure 34, or an image without exposure will be returned. www.
4343W X-ray Detector R EFERENCE M ANUAL 3 A Gain Calibration Progress window will appear. When prompted (waiting for X-ray), perform exposure. Figure 27 Gain Calibration Progress window 4 Once all X-ray frames have been accumulated, the calibration process will average the gain calibration image for the current mode. Figure 28 Gain Calibration Updating 34 www.vareximaging.
5 R EFERENCE M ANUAL 4343W X-ray Detector When complete, an updated message and successfully finished calibration message will appear. The calibration process is complete. Click Close. Figure 29 Gain Calibration Complete Note Gain calibration should be performed at regular intervals: • At least, every twelve (12) months. • If the central beam of the X-ray source has been moved relative to the X-ray Detector. • If the X-ray tube is replaced. • If the X-ray Detector is dropped.
4343W X-ray Detector R EFERENCE M ANUAL 10.6 Linking to the X-ray Detector 1 Place a battery into the battery slot on the X-ray Detector and latch into place.

4343W X-ray Detector 11.0 Maintenance R EFERENCE M ANUAL In principle, the X-ray Detector assembly is maintenance-free, however; it is important that all calibrations are regularly performed and used for image processing. Although the a-Si X-ray Detectors are resistant to X-rays they can exhibit degradation over time when exposed to high X-ray dose environments. Sensitivity and uniformity may change depending on the weekly exposure duration and X-ray dose.
11.1.2 Cleaning the X-ray Detector To clean the X-ray Detector: 1 Remove the battery from the X-ray Detector. 2 Locate and read the cleaning instructions specified on the product label. Follow the product instructions for cleaning. Note If you are using a disinfectant other than those specified, we recommend you consult a specialist for the procedure for disinfection. 3 Dispense wipe from container. 4 Visually inspect the device.
R EFERENCE M ANUAL 4343W X-ray Detector c Let air-dry. d If visible residue is evident after air-drying, remove the residue with a general Isopropyl Alcohol wipe, and let air dry. e Do not re-use wipes.
