Caution Statements
Reduce the exposure time on your intraoral X-ray unit.
The DenOptix QST System is designed to produce high quality
, diagnostic images
at reduced radiation levels. To get the maximum benefit, we recommend that the
exposure be reduced as outlined in page 4-1.
Completely erase the imaging plates.
Before reusing an imaging plate, place it with the blue or white surface up facing a
b
ri
ght light source for at least two (2) minutes as described on page 4-3.
Mount the imaging plates under low light conditions.
Mount the imaging plates to the carousel under low light conditions as described
on pa
ge
4-5. Exposure to direct sunlight or direct indoor lighting will erase the
information stored on the imaging plate.
Do not place scanner on or next to a radiator or water source.
Excessive heat or small amounts of water may damage the scanner’s electrical
co
mp
onents.
Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics mixtures.
Do not autoclave the imaging plates.
Autoclaving will damage the imaging plate.
If this
happens, discard the imaging
plate and replace it with a new one. If an imaging plate becomes contaminated,
follow the procedure described on page 4-10 “Cross-contamination”.
Do not leave unscanned, exposed imaging plates in light.
Leaving unscanned, exposed imaging plates in light will cause severe loss of
ima
ge q
uality.
If left exposed for long time, or to bright light, the imag
e may be erased entirely.
Do not scratch the imaging plates.
When handling the imaging plate, do not touch the active s
ide (blue or white) any
sharp object that might scratch the surface. Do not lay unprotected imaging plates
face down.
