2.6
Switch on the unit
The patient may not be positioned in the unit when starting it and setting
the operating mode (until the sensor has been positioned).
Malfunction may cause injury to the patient.
In case of an error that requires switching the unit off and back on
again, the patient must be removed from the unit, at the latest before
the unit is switched back on.
2.7
Radiation protection
The valid radiation protection regulations and measures must be
observed. The statutory radiation protection equipment must be used. In
order to reduce radiation exposure, Dentsply Sirona recommends using
bismuth or lead shields or aprons, especially for pediatric patients.
During an exposure, the operator should move as far away from the X-
ray tube assembly as the coiled cable of the release button permits.
With the exception of the patient, no other persons without radiation
protection are allowed to stay in the room during an exposure. In
exceptional cases, a third person may provide assistance, but not the
practice staff. Visual contact with the patient and the unit must be
maintained throughout the entire exposure.
In case of malfunctions, cancel the exposure immediately by letting go
of the exposure release button.
