Background
Integrated circuits (logical circuits and microprocessors) are used to
implement a wide variety of functions in dental/X-ray/CAD/CAM
systems.
The circuits must be miniaturized to a very high degree in order to
include as many functions as possible on these chips. This leads to
structure thicknesses as low as a few ten thousandths of a millimeter.
It is obvious that integrated circuits which are connected to plugs
leading outside of the unit via cables are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge.
Even voltages which are imperceptible to the user can cause
breakdown of the structures, thus leading to a discharge current which
melts the chip in the affected areas. Damage to individual integrated
circuits may cause malfunction or failure of the system.
To prevent this from happening, the ESD warning label next to the plug
warns of this hazard. ESD stands for

Connector pins or sockets bearing ESD warning labels must not be
touched or interconnected without ESD protective measures.
4.4
Wireless phone interference with equipment
The use of mobile wireless phones in practice or hospital environments
must be prohibited to ensure safe operation of the unit.
