In the interest of equipment safety, a regular maintenance program must be
established. This maintenance program should consist of cleaning and
disinfecting as well as annual system function checking. It is the owner’s
responsibility to arrange for this service and to assure that the personnel
performing this are fully qualified to service Progeny Dental x-ray equipment.
The JB-70 Dental X-Ray System requires disinfection. The cleaning and
disinfecting methods described here protect operators and patients in a manner
that is safe for the equipment.
Progeny Dental recommends the use of parachlorometaxylenol-based
disinfectant products, such as Envirosystems “EcoTru Professional”, or the
equivalent.
Between each patient, perform the following cleaning and disinfecting steps.
1. Remove gross bio-burden from the cone, handles and structure with a
disposable towel moistened with water.
2. Dry the cone, handles and structure with disposable towels.
3. Wipe the cone, handles and structure with the parachlorometaxylenol-based
disinfectant product following the disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Clean any remaining parachlorometaxylenol from the component with water.
This additional step prevents possible product discoloration or corrosion.
5. Dry the cone, handles and structure with disposable towels.
Caution!
The JB-70 Dental X-Ray System is not waterproof. Use
only moistened, not saturated, towels.
