Product Details
The Icon 90/20 (often referenced as the Sterne HFJ 90/20 Icon) is a lightweight, 23-pound portable X-ray machine frequently used in veterinary and equine practices. It is known for its dual distance lasers, anatomical technique selection, and compatibility with both film and digital receptors.
Because the Icon 90/20 is an older portable system, an official, direct PDF for this specific make is archived by its distributor rather than hosted online. However, operating a portable veterinary X-ray generator of this caliber involves standard universal guidelines.
Core Operating Guidelines:
-
- Distance Presets: The unit features dual distance lasers, typically pre-set to 26 inches for pinpoint focal distance during equine or small animal exposures.
- Anatomical Technique Selection: Instead of manually inputting parameters, the technician selects the specific anatomical part, and the machine automatically configures the appropriate technique.
- Exposure Limits: Exposure times and intervals (e.g., waiting at least 20 seconds between exposures) should be strictly observed to prevent system overheating.
- Safety & Scatter: Radiation scatters. All personnel should maintain a minimum safe distance of 6 feet from the patient during exposure, or wear proper personal protective equipment (e.g., lead aprons) if closer.
