WARNING:
The protective covers prevent physical and mechanical damage to IP, protect the IP from light during and
after acquisition of the X-ray image to avoid erasing image data, and avoid cross-contamination between
patients. Like the IP, they are available in different sizes. Select the appropriate size.
6. Peel back the paper and then close the hygiene bag by passing the thumb and forefi nger across the whole
adhesive strip to ensure complete sealing.
WARNING:
The hygiene bag and the protective cover are single-use items and must not be re-used.
The re-use of a single-use medical item exposes you to iatrogenic infection risks from pathogenic
organisms through this medium, and to accidents related to materiovigilence.
7.2 ACQUIRING A X-ray IMAGE
WARNING:
Contamination Risk. Disinfect the hygiene bag before placing it in the patient’s mouth, using a
disinfectant wipe or by spraying disinfectant on a lint-free cloth.
WARNING:
Contamination Risk. Wear protective gloves when positioning the hygiene bag in the patient’s mouth.
1. Place the closed hygiene bag containing the IP in the patient’s mouth, parallel to the longitudinal axis of
the tooth. The back of the hygiene bag (black side) must be toward the X-ray source.
NOTE:
If you are using a positioning holder, please refer to the instructions supplied with this device. The use of
a positioning holder is recommended to guarantee a specifi c position for the IP in relation to the tooth,
and to obtain standardized images that are both reproducible and without distortion. Please refer to
the instructions supplied with this device to ensure that it is decontaminated and sterilized prior to use.
WARNING:
Risk of poisoning and/or skin lesions. If you use positioning holders, please only use rings that do no
damage the hygiene bag or the protective cover of the IP. Please avoid positioning holders with sharp
edges.
