WARNING:
Risks of image degradation. Check visually that the IP is not deteriorated.
NOTE:
Natural X-rays and/or the rays diffused by X-rays may pre-expose the IP prior to their normal use.
WARNING:
Risks of image degradation. If it is the fi rst time that the IP is being used, if it has not been used over
the course of the last 24 hours or if it has been stored in a dark room, you MUST erase it to avoid
any potential misting due to ambient radiation. For more information, please refer to paragraph 7.4
“Erasing an IP”.
WARNING:
Cross-contamination Risk. Ensure that you always observe the necessary hygiene precautions when
handling the IP, the covers and hygiene bags to avoid any risk of cross-contamination.
5. Slide the IP into the protective cover in the hygiene bag. The black side of the IP, marked with the
ACTEON logo must correspond to the white side of the protective cover marked with the ACTEON logo. More
importantly, the blue side of the IP must correspond to the black side of the hygiene bag.
NOTE:
The letter “P” is printed on the active side of our IPs and
it is therefore visible on the X-ray image. It serves as a
reference point for the dentist when he/she is placing
the IP in the patient’s mouth, and facilitates orientation
of the X-ray image during diagnosis.
Note that the “P” point is marked on the protective
cover. The two reference points must be superimposed
over each other when the IP is placed in the protective
cover.
WARNING:
The hygiene bag protects the IP from direct contact with saliva both during and after acquisition of
an X-ray, as this could lead to a risk of contamination and toxicity for the patient. The hygiene bags
also protect the IP from light both during and after acquisition of a X-ray image. Like the IP, they are
available in different sizes. Select the appropriate size.
