Fujifilm FCR PROFECT CS Plus
Fujifilm · Model FCR PROFECT CS Plus
The fastest processing capacity in the world (As the end of August 2012) • The FCR PROFECT CS Plus have realized the world's fastest processing speed of 120 IPs/hr., a remarkable progress from the previous 103 IPs/hr. These two models reduce the examination time drastically, ensuring stress-free workflows. Dual-side reading technology • The Dual-Side Imaging Plate (IP) Reading technology allows?the use of a thicker phosphor layer on the transparent base,?thereby increasing DQE (Detective Quantum Efficiency) by?collecting the emissions from both sides of the IP. High-precision Images for various needs • As High DQE is realized by the Fujifilm's Dual-side Reading Technology, with its low dose exposure, the FCR PROFECT CS Plus and the FCR PROFECT ONE Plus relieve patients' burden during X-ray examinations. Incorporated with the FUJIFILM proprietary image processing technology (Image Intelligence™), high resolution image reading with the 20 pixel/mm sampling pitch delivers excellent quality images in versatile diagnosis areas. • For example, they are suitable for diagnosis areas requiring high-quality images even with low dose exposure, such as mammography, pediatrics, follow-ups and tests using a catheter. A multi-purpose FCR • The FCR Plus series now enables processing of pantomography exposures* (15 × 30 cm), in?addition to standard and long-view exposures, making a wider range of examinations possible. Enhanced image processing • “Image Intelligence™” - a set of sophisticated digital image-processing software technologies available through Fujifilm's Console - processes image data and optimizes final output. • The fastest processing capacity in the world (As the end of August 2012) • A multi-purpose FCR • Enhanced image processing • Enhanced image quality with 20 pixel/mm scanning pitch and Fujifilm's revolutionary Dual-Side Reading Technology • High-precision images for various needs
Key tips
- ·Never bypass a radiation interlock to "just get the image" - this is one of the few true zero-tolerance rules in BMET work.
- ·Trend image-quality phantom results over time - drift shows up before an outright failure does.
- ·Portable/mobile units take real physical abuse from transport - check wheel locks and cable strain reliefs more often than fixed units.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
X-ray tube overheating / filament failure
HighSymptoms: Tube won't fire, heat-capacity alarm.
Root cause: Filament wear, cooling failure.
Detector calibration drift
MediumSymptoms: Image noise, artifacts, low SNR.
Root cause: Flat-panel / sensor aging.
Cooling system fault
HighSymptoms: Tube temp alarm, duty-cycle limited.
Root cause: Pump/radiator or coolant loss.
Recon / system software hang
LowSymptoms: Frozen console, acquisition timeout.
Root cause: Workstation or RAID degradation.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Daily QC per modality: image-quality phantom test
- ·Tube and detector inspection
- ·Annual state-required radiation safety survey
- ·Vendor-scheduled preventive maintenance
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: X-ray tube overheating / filament failure
- Confirm the presentation - typically tube won't fire, heat-capacity alarm - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: filament wear, cooling failure.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the x-ray tube insert per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
