CAUTION
The image data on the image plate is
not permanent.
The image data is altered by light, natu-
ral X-ray radiation and scattered X-ray
radiation. This will lead to a reduction in
diagnostic information and clarity.
i Read the image data within 30 min-
utes of exposure.
i Never handle exposed image plates
without the light protection cover.
i Do not subject an exposed image
plate to X-ray radiation before or after
the scanning process.
i Do not X-ray during the scanning
process if the unit is in the same room
as the X-ray tube.
10.1 Changing the input unit car-
tridge
The device can be used to scan image plates
size 0, size 1 and size 2. Each size of image
plate requires the matching cartridge.
The size of the image plate is marked on the
cartridge.
CAUTION
Loss of image information and equip-
ment damage if an incorrect car-
tridge is used
i Always use the correct size of car-
tridge for the image plate being used.
i Before each scanning process, com-
pare the image plate size with the
LED display on the control element.
i Do not scratch the image plates. Do not sub-
ject the image plates to pressure from hard or
pointed objects.
i Do not soil the image plates.
i Protect the image plates against sunlight and
ultraviolet light.
Store image plates in a light protection cover
or intraoral/extraoral foil cassette of the cor-
rect size.
i Image plates will be pre-exposed on exposure
to natural radiation and stray x-ray radiation.
Protect erased and exposed image plates
from X-ray interference.
If the image plate has been stored for longer
than one week, erase the image plate prior
to use.
i Do not store image plates under hot or moist
conditions. Observe the correct ambient con-
ditions (see "4 Technical data").
i When used properly, image plates can be ex-
posed, read and erased several hundred
times provided there is no mechanical dam-
age.
Replace the image plate if there are any signs
of damage, e.g. if the protective layer is dam-
aged or there are visible scratches that impair
the quality of the diagnosis.
Also replace the image plate if the RFID tag is
damaged or becoming detached.
i Image plates that have a production or pack-
aging defect will be replaced by Dürr Dental in
the same quantity. Claims can only be ac-
cepted within 7 working days after receipt of
the goods.
i Clean image plates properly (see "11 Cleaning
and disinfection").
