Introduction
Kodak DirectView Classic/Elite CR Systems process and produce digital images directly from latent analog images
captured on Storage Phosphor Screens. Images can be reproduced, manipulated, and distributed to other output
and storage devices. Classic/Elite CR Systems manage patient and examination information associated with up to
1500 images.
Kodak DirectView CR Cassettes are standard size X-ray Cassettes that contain Storage Phosphor Screens. Exams
are performed in the same manner as with a conventional Film Cassette. Instead of processing film to develop the
image, a laser in the Classic/Elite CR Systems scans the latent image on the Phosphor Screen in the Cassette and
produces a digital image. Cassettes can be repeatedly exposed, erased, and reused. The Classic/Elite CR Systems
accept the following CR Cassette sizes:
7H3307 – 17APR08 3
SPECIFICATIONS
Classic/Elite CR Systems can be configured in many different ways using the following optional accessories:
• Computer
• 19 in. Touchscreen Monitor
• 17 in. Non-Touchscreen Monitor (only available with the Classic CR System)
• Power Cord appropriate to the site
• Floor Stand – with or without a Keyboard Shelf and Bar Code Reader Boot
• Wall Stand – with or without a Keyboard Shelf and Bar Code Reader Boot
The Classic/Elite CR Systems, the optional Kodak DirectView Remote Operations Panel, and the Kodak Remote
Patient Data Entry Station can be linked to a HIS/RIS and to a variety of destinations.
The optional Kodak Remote Management Services is available for the Kodak DirectView Classic/Elite CR Systems.
The Kodak Remote Management Services uses patent-pending technology that allows enterprises to monitor,
diagnose, service, and replenish devices securely via the Internet.
The Classic/Elite CR Systems can operate with the optional Kodak DirectView Capture Link System and Kodak
DirectView CR Mammography Feature.

Scatter Radiation
Description
When an exposure occurs in an exam room, scatter radiation can expose Cassettes stored in that exam room. This
scatter radiation is responsible for two types of artifacts that occur when Classic/Elite CR Systems in the exam room
are processing cassettes at the same time as additional Cassettes are being exposed. The following is a description
of the artifacts and suggestions for minimizing their occurrence.
Line Artifact Line artifacts occur on the screen when the plate is
extracted from the Cassette during an exposure. The
line artifact can vary in size, intensity, and position.
7H3307 – 17APR08 11
SPECIFICATIONS
Caution
Primary X-rays can leak through any lead collimator. The X-rays are never completely blocked by the lead collimator
blade.
The primary X-ray distribution depends on the collimator type. Two major types of collimator apertures are the door
and slide apertures.

New Installations
For new installations, Kodak suggests that a 91.4 cm (3 ft) wide x 182.8 cm (6 ft) high lead partition be installed.
The lead partition must have an equivalent lead shielding of at least 1.5 mm (0.059 in.).
Existing Installations
If you experience image artifacts, either:
• Discontinue simultaneous exposing and processing of cassettes, or
• Move or rotate the Classic/Elite CR System to match the Recommended Position indicated in either:
– The graphic above, if a lead partition is in place, or
– A Better Position in the graphic shown on Page 13 of Position and Orientation of the Classic/Elite CR
Systems, if a lead partition is not being used

Power Requirements
Classic/Elite CR Systems
Each Classic/Elite CR System requires 3 power outlets. One for each:
• Classic/Elite CR System
• Computer
• Monitor
The Classic/Elite CR Systems each have an internal Manual-Tap Isolation Transformer with features
that simplify the electrical requirements at the installation site:
• The Manual-Tap Isolation Transformer:
– Accepts most standard electrical power sources and converts them internally as needed. As a
result, the Classic/Elite CR Systems can be connected directly to existing power sources at
most sites. See the table below.
– Isolates the electronics of the Classic/Elite CR Systems.
• The Classic/Elite CR Systems provides internal Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) filtering.
• An optional UPS can be added to provide continuous power and power line filtering to the Classic/
Elite CR Systems. In a power failure, the UPS provides power to complete a scan in progress and
execute a controlled shutdown. The UPS provides uninterrupted power during generator changes.
Important
• All electrical services, including earth ground, must comply with local and national electrical codes.
• Four different Jumpers are provided with the system to accommodate the voltage at the site.
Caution
• Never use extension cords.
• Never cut or remove the Ground Prong from the Power Cord.
• Failure to comply with these requirements could void the customer’s warranty.
Six 3.05 m (10 ft) Power Cords are separately available for order with the Classic/Elite CR Systems to
allow connection to Receptacles at most sites:
• US and Canada
• US and Canada Hospital Grade
• Great Britain
• European
• Japanese
• China

Environmental Requirements
Temperature Operating: 15 to 30° C (59 to 86° F)
Storage, in package: –23 to 66° C (–10 to 150° F)
Magnetic Field Operating: Outside of the 5 mT (50-gauss) line on the MRI fringe field plot for the site.
Servicing: Outside of the 0.5 mT (5-gauss) line on the MRI fringe field plot for the site.
Lighting For convenience and safety, all areas around the Classic/Elite CR Systems should be
illuminated with normal lighting of approximately 60 foot-candles (646 lux). Light levels
may be as high as 100 foot-candles (1076 lux) at the top surface.
Floor Surface The type of flooring may affect performance of the Classic/Elite CR Systems. A hard, firm
surface is recommended. On hard flooring such as wood, tile, or smooth concrete, the
Classic/Elite CR Systems can be rolled on Casters and easily placed in any location. On
raised floors, such as Computer Room floors, the Casters on the Classic/Elite CR
Systems should be positioned directly over the floor supports if possible.
Airflow The Classic/Elite CR Systems must have at least 8.0 cm (3.0 in.) clearance at each side
and the back to provide adequate airflow.
