3. Warnings and Precautions
16 Green Smart User Manual
3.4 Warnings
The following warning statements should be obeyed with the utmost care. Failure to follow
these warnings may cause severe damage to the equipment or physical injuries to the
patient and/or the operator.
X-ray equipment is hazardous to the patient and the operator if
proper exposure safety measures and/or operating instructions are
not observed.
It is important to read this User Manual carefully and strictly abide
by all warnings and cautions stated within it.
The 3D image should not be used for screening examinations.
Each exam must be justified by demonstrating that the benefits
outweigh the risk.
Where it is likely that evaluation of soft tissues will be required as
part of the patient’s radiological assessment, conventional medical
CT or MR should be used instead of dental cone beam imaging.
Green Smart system, like other medical equipment, uses high-
frequency electrical signals that can interfere with implantable
devices such as pacemakers and Implantable Cardioverter
Defibrillators (ICDs). If the patient has such an implantable device,
you should be aware of any interference in its operation and
immediately power off the Dental X-ray system.
Green Smart system is designed to withstand the effects of
defibrillation. However, when possible, disconnect the Dental X-ray
system during defibrillation since a malfunction of the safety
controls could otherwise result in electrical burns for the patient.
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of dentist or
with the descriptive designation of any other practitioner licensed by
the law of the State in which he practices to use or order the use of the
device.
