How to use

How to use (Start-up and Shutdown procedure)

Frequently used functions

• Check the sensor head for damage.
• Cover the sensor head with a wrap.
• Determine the location to exposure X-ray and place the sensor on the tooth to be imaged.
• Enter patient information or search for a patient.
• Operate the image. (Magnification, rotation, inversion, length measurement, etc.)
  • Save the image.

Pre-procedure

• Check the patient’s condition.
• Put a wrap on the sensor.
• Determine the location to exposure X-ray.
• The Protective sheath uses 100L / 100S products from a licensed Pac-Dent International, Inc. (Pac-Dent International, Inc FDA 510K No. K151123)

Setup guidelines

• The computer and the screen with which the sensor is connected to should preferably be situated close to the chair, within the field of vision of the practitioner, to allow for immediate use. This will allow the practitioner to provide visual access to the patient and be able to share the radiological information with him/her.
• The screen must be placed so as to avoid any reflections or direct overhead illuminations that could be detrimental to the visualization of the radiological images. It must be set up (contrast and brightness) to display as many grey levels as possible in the image.
• The x-ray generator has a great influence on the quality of the acquired images. The IoDS-2401/2402 is compatible with any kind of generator, be it high-frequency or conventional. The generator must be equipped with an electronic timer (allowing for very short exposure times) and must emit a dose sufficient for the acquisition of a good image (with sufficient contrast). Make sure that your x-ray generator is in good repair and has been calibrated and tested recently (as per your states regulation). The energy emitted by a generator diminishes over time; when in doubt have your generator checked by a qualified technician.

• The test may be performed at any one power input voltage within the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM-RATED voltage range. If the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM is tested at one power input voltage, it is not necessary to re-test at additional voltages.

• All ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEM cables are attached during the test.

• Calibration for current injection clamps shall be performed in a 150 Ω system.

• If the frequency stepping skips over an ISM or amateur band, as applicable, an additional test frequency shall be used in the ISM or amateur radio band. This applies to each ISM and amateur radio band within the specified frequency range.

• Testing may be performed at other modulation frequencies identified by the RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS.

• ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS with a d.c. power input intended for use with a.c.-to-d.c. converters shall be tested using a converter that meets the specifications of the MANUFACTURER of the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM. The IMMUNITY TEST LEVELS are applied to the a.c. power input of the converter.

• Applicable only to ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS connected to single-phase a.c. mains.

• E.g. 10/12 means 10 periods at 50 Hz or 12 periods at 60 Hz.

• ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS with RATED input current greater than 16 A/phase shall be interrupted once for 250/300 cycles at any angle and at all phases at the same time (if applicable). ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS with battery backup shall resume line power operation after the test. For ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS with RATED input current not exceeding 16 A, all phases shall be interrupted simultaneously.

• ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS that do not have a surge protection device in the primary power circuit may be tested only at ± 2 kV line(s) to earth and ± 1 kV line(s) to line(s).

• Not applicable to CLASS II ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS.

• Direct coupling shall be used.

• r.m.s., before modulation is applied.

• The ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) bands between 0,15 MHz and 80 MHz are 6,765 MHz to 6,795 MHz; 13,553 MHz to 13,567 MHz; 26,957 MHz to 27,283 MHz; and 40,66 MHz to 40,70 MHz. The amateur radio bands between 0,15 MHz and 80 MHz are 1,8 MHz to 2,0 MHz, 3,5 MHz to 4,0 MHz, 5,3 MHz to 5,4 MHz, 7 MHz to 7,3 MHz, 10,1 MHz to 10,15 MHz, 14 MHz to 14,2 MHz, 18,07 MHz to 18,17 MHz, 21,0 MHz to 21,4 MHz, 24,89 MHz to 24,99 MHz, 28,0 MHz to 29,7 MHz and 50,0 MHz to 54,0 MHz.

• Applicable to ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS with RATED input current less than or equal to 16 A/phase and ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS with RATED input current greater than 16 A/phase.

• Applicable to ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS with RATED input current less than or equal to 16 A/phase.

• At some phase angles, applying this test to ME EQUIPMENT with transformer mains power input might cause an overcurrent protection device to open. This can occur due to magnetic flux saturation of the transformer core after the voltage dip. If this occurs, the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM shall provide BASIC SAFETY during and after the test.

• For ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS that have multiple voltage settings or auto-ranging voltage capability, the test shall be performed at the minimum and maximum RATED input voltage. ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS with a RATED input voltage range of less than 25 % of the highest RATED input voltage shall be tested at one RATED input voltage within the range. See Table 1 Note c) for examples of calculations.
