 Introduction

The digital radiography AeroDR SYSTEM and AeroDR SYSTEM 2 (hereinafter, both are referred to as this device) per-
form X-ray imaging of the human body using an X-ray planar detector that outputs a digital signal, which is then input
into an image processing device, and the acquired image is then transmitted to a filing system, printer, and image dis-
play device as diagnostic image data.
• Diagnostic X-ray image data of this device does not provide mammographic images.
• This device is also used for carrying out exposures on children.

There are 4 types of X-ray planar detectors for the AeroDR SYSTEM: AeroDR 1417HQ (AeroDR P-11), AeroDR
1417S (AeroDR P-12), AeroDR 1717HQ (AeroDR P-21) and AeroDR 1012HQ (AeroDR P-31), and connection is
made by either wireless or wired connection.
There is only one type of X-ray planar detector for the AeroDR SYSTEM 2, AeroDR 2 1417HQ (AeroDR P-51), which
can be connected by either wireless or wired connection.

The DIRECT DIGITIZER CS-7 or ImagePilot (hereafter referred to as the image processing controller), which controls
the receiving, processing, and output of image data, is required for operation. For the operation of the image processing
controller, refer to the "Operation Manual" of the image processing controller.

This operation manual provides instructions on the basic functions for operation of this device. Those operating this
device for the first time should read this manual beforehand.
Also, store this manual close to this device after reading it through, so it can be used as a guide to allow optimum
operating conditions.

* If the pages of the operation manual are smudged and illegible, replace it with a new one. (There is a fee
for this service.)
* The illustrations in this manual use the AeroDR 2 1417HQ (AeroDR P-51) and AeroDR Battery Charger2 as
the example.

CAUTION

• This Operation Manual is common to both the digital radiography AeroDR SYSTEM
and digital radiography AeroDR SYSTEM 2.

• The following shows the meanings of terms used in this operation manual.
––This device or not specified: Indicates both the digital radiography AeroDR SYS-
TEM and digital radiography AeroDR SYSTEM 2.
––AeroDR SYSTEM: Indicates the digital radiography AeroDR SYSTEM.
––AeroDR SYSTEM 2: Indicates the digital radiography AeroDR SYSTEM 2.

 Introduction

Indications for Use

The AeroDR SYSTEM is indicated for use in generating radiographic images of human anatomy. It is intended to re-
place radiographic film/screen systems in general-purpose diagnostic procedures.

<Only for USA>

The AeroDR SYSTEM with P31 is not indicated for use in mammography, fluoroscopy, tomography and angiography
applications.

CAUTION

Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

Summary of usability specifications (for IEC/EN 60601-1-6, IEC/EN 62366)

1) Medical purposes
• Provision and reading of disease and injury diagnostic images.
2) Patient groups
• No patient population exists who uses the device.
• Patient population for the X-ray images read is not specified.
3) Parts of body or organizations to which the device is mounted or that interact with the device.
• AeroDR Detector contacts the body surface of a patient.
• AeroDR Interface Unit/AeroDR Interface Unit2 and AeroDR Battery Charger/AeroDR Battery Charger2 contact
the body surface of an operator.
4) Operating principle
• AeroDR Detector forms the still images according to the X-ray energy passing through the human and animal
body; after digitizing the exposed image, it is transmitted to the console (the image processing controller) with
wired or wireless communication.
• AeroDR Interface Unit/AeroDR Interface Unit2 supplies the power to AeroDR Detector, AeroDR Generator
Interface Unit, AeroDR Generator Interface Unit2, and access point (radio communication device). It also relays
wired communication.
• AeroDR Interface Unit2, AeroDR Generator Interface Unit or AeroDR Generator Interface Unit2 interfaces with
an X-ray device.
• Access point (radio communication device) performs a wireless communication with AeroDR Detector.
• The console (the image processing controller) processes the image data into the diagnostic image, and then
stores and outputs the images added with the patient information.
• The AeroDR Battery Charger/AeroDR Battery Charger2 charges the AeroDR Detector. It registers the using
AeroDR Detector with the exposure room.
5) Significant physical characteristics
• Refer to "7.1 Specifications".
6) Significant performance characteristics
• Refer to "2.1 Overview of this device".
7) User of this device
• No special training is required to use this device. The intended users of this device are as follows.

 2.1 Overview of this device

This section describes the functions of this device as well as a system configuration and connection examples using
this device.

2.1.1 Functions

The AeroDR SYSTEM consists of AeroDR Detector (AeroDR 1417HQ/AeroDR 1417S/AeroDR 1717HQ/AeroDR
1012HQ), AeroDR Interface Unit/AeroDR Interface Unit2, AeroDR Generator Interface Unit, AeroDR Battery Charger/
AeroDR Battery Charger2, AeroDR Access Point, etc. With the AeroDR Detector, diagnostic X-ray digital image data
is generated by the irradiation signal and exposure from an X-ray device, and sent to the image processing control-
ler.
Furthermore, the AeroDR Detector can be connected with (or inserted in) an AeroDR Interface Unit/AeroDR Interface
Unit2 or AeroDR Battery Charger/AeroDR Battery Charger2 or removed from them.

The AeroDR SYSTEM 2 consists of the AeroDR Detector (AeroDR 2 1417HQ), AeroDR Interface Unit/AeroDR Inter-
face Unit2, AeroDR Generator Interface Unit, AeroDR Generator Interface Unit2, AeroDR Battery Charger/AeroDR
Battery Charger2, etc. With the AeroDR Detector, diagnostic X-ray digital image data is generated by the irradiation
signal or exposure from an X-ray device and sent to the image processing controller.
Furthermore, the AeroDR Detector can be connected with (or inserted in) or removed from the AeroDR Interface Unit/
AeroDR Interface Unit2 or AeroDR Battery Charger/AeroDR Battery Charger2.

OO High-dose exposure
• When high-dose exposures are performed con-
tinuously, afterimages of the last exposure will
occasionally be visible. The affect of afterimages
in this device can be resolved by leaving longer
intervals between exposures, so make the inter-
vals between exposures longer than usual when
performing high-dose exposure.
• During high-dose exposure, continual use of a
lead or other marker at the same position can
cause burning in of the afterimage. Therefore,
avoid using it in the same position. Also, if image
burn-in is visible, run calibration.

3.2 Operation of AeroDR Detector

OO Exposure with the remote table

• The AeroDR Detector is precision equipment,
therefore impact or vibration during exposure and
image transfer may affect the image quality. Im-
pact or vibration when performing exposure using
the remote table in particular may significantly in-
crease the effect, therefore observe the following.
– Prevent the AeroDR Detector from moving un-
til the preview image is displayed immediately
after exposure.
– Do not operate the remote table to eject the
AeroDR Detector or load the AeroDR Detector
to the standby position.
– Do not move the remote table position horizon-
tally or vertically.
• Check that the AeroDR Detector does not auto-
matically move immediately after exposure. If it
does, please contact a technical representative
of the X-ray device manufacturer and request to
change the settings so that the AeroDR Detector
does not move immediately after exposure.
• If the settings of the X-ray device cannot be
changed, check the image quality in advance.
Please contact Konica Minolta technical repre-
sentative for more information about how to check
the image quality.
