Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you very much for deciding on FireCR Spark – Computed Radiography Reader.
The FireCR Spark System is ideal for a wide range of Computed Radiography examinations in
specialty practices such as chiropractors, podiatrists and orthopedists.
The FireCR Spark can be configured for nearly every clinical application, and is designed for
full DICOM connectivity, and allows user to setup the system to capture high quality X-ray
images of any body parts with minimal steps including reading, processing, displaying and
sending of the high quality image. All imaging parameters are optimized, resulting in digital
images that can be enhanced, enlarged, duplicated, and sent to any location as a DICOM 3.0
file format in seconds with no loss of resolution.
Combine the system with reusable phosphor screen equipped FireCR Spark cassettes and
portable X-ray equipment, it can be used for X-ray exams everywhere it is needed, e.g. nursing
facilities, forensic institutions, employee screenings etc.
The FireCR Spark System is ideal for Computed Radiography examinations in busy clinics and
specialty practices. Affordable, rugged, compact, lightweight, fast and effective FireCR Spark
System enables all imaging functions to be performed with the advanced image management
software, a solution that can be adapted most clinical applications.
The FireCR Spark Computed Radiography solution with enhanced workflow and improved
productivity are the best solution for medium sized healthcare facilities and clinics. The FireCR

6.4. Shipping
The FireCR Spark is a solidly built system designed to survive shipping around the world.
However, in order to avoid damage during shipping, the FireCR Spark must be properly
packaged.
In general, the best way to package the FireCR Spark is in the original factory container. If
this is no longer available, we recommend that user carefully wraps the FireCR Spark in at
least 75 mm (3 inch) of foam or bubble pack sheeting. The wrapped device should then be
placed in a sturdy cardboard carton. Mark the outside of the box with word FRAGILE and an
arrow showing which way is up.
We do not recommend using loose foam pellets to protect the FireCR Spark. If the carton is
dropped by the shipper, there is a good chance that the device will shift within the loose pellet
packing and be damaged.
If user needs to ship the FireCR Spark to another location, or back to the factory, and user does
not have a means to adequately package it, user can order additional shipping container. This
may seem an expense user would like to avoid, but it is inexpensive compared to the cost of
repairing an instrument that has sustained shipping damage.
It is user’s responsibility to package the system properly before shipping. If the packaging is
inadequate, and the system is damaged during shipping, the shipper will not honor user’s claim
for compensation.
