1. Overview
1.1. Purpose
The CDR Wireless Sensor, Base Station, and application software are elements of an
electronic imaging system that transmits X-ray dental exams over a wireless RF link. The
Wireless Sensor is powered by a single battery, enclosed in protective packaging. The
Base Station is powered from the computer’s USB port.
1.2. Indications for Use
The CDR Wireless Sensor system is intended for any dental practice that uses X-ray
equipment for intraoral diagnostic purposes. It is indicated for patients receiving intraoral
dental X-ray examinations and produces digital images that can be displayed, enhanced,
printed, and saved. Because of the Sensor's higher sensitivity to X-rays in comparison to
film, the radiation dose to the patient is reduced. For diagnostic purposes, digital images
compare favorably with images acquired with X-ray film media.
1.3. Important Setup Reminders
1. Images acquired with your Wireless Sensor are transmitted to the Antenna / Receiver
over RF link. If active during image transmission, other devices that use radio
frequency or microwave technology (wireless Local Area Networks, wireless
telecommunication devices, microwave ovens) may interfere with the optimal
performance of your CDR Wireless System. For best results, turn off other wireless
or microwave devices when using your Wireless Sensor.
2. Correct placement of the Antenna / Receiver with respect to the Wireless Sensor is
essential. Be sure to follow the positioning information found in this document when
establishing the optimal location for the Antenna / Receiver. As a general rule, place
the Antenna / Receiver as close as practically possible to the patient chair where the
Sensor will be used. The distance between the Sensor and the Antenna / Receiver
should not exceed 6 feet (1.8 meters).
3. As with any X-ray procedure, stabilizing the Sensor in the correct intraoral position is
critical for diagnostic quality images. Equally important is for the patient to remain
completely still as X-ray images are acquired. Wireless Sensors are more sensitive to
motion during the imaging process, so be sure to remind your patients as you take X-
ray images.
