Acquiring a Single Image Using RIOSensor+
To acquire a single image using RIOSensor+, follow these steps:
1. Tell the patient to remain still.
2. Position yourself either two meters behind the X-ray source or outside the door.
3. In the Imaging Software toolbar, make sure that the sensor is connected to the workstation and is
ready for acquisition.
4. Trigger the X-ray with the remote control of the X-ray
source.
The image is immediately displayed in the Imaging Window (Imaging Software).
5. Check the image and if the quality is:
Not satisfactory, retake the X-ray.
Satisfactory, remove the X-ray source tube head.
6. Remove the sensor from the mouth of the patient.
7. Remove the hygienic sensor protection and throw it away.
8. Clean and disinfect the sensor after each patient (see the RIOSensor+ Safety, R
egulatory, and
Technical Specifications User Guide (SMB10)).
Important: Make sure you can keep visual contact with the patient
during the X-ray.
Important: Do NOT pull the sensor by its cable when you remove the
hygienic protection.
