Overview

Detector covers protect flat panel detectors and cassettes from contamination and damage during procedures. Covers are available in disposable and reusable formats. Proper use preserves detector function and infection control.

Material and Fit

Covers must fit snugly without interfering with detector performance. Radiolucent materials minimize imaging artifacts. Compatibility with detector models ensures full coverage and protection.

Infection Control

Disposable covers reduce cross contamination risk in sterile and non sterile procedures. Reusable covers require validated cleaning and disinfection protocols. Documentation of cover use supports infection prevention programs.

Handling and Storage

Covers should be stored in clean conditions and inspected before use. Damaged covers are discarded to prevent contamination. Training ensures correct application and removal to protect detectors.
