WARNING Danger of cross contamination when not using the barrier envelope or when using the barrier envelope more than once. • Do not use a plate without a barrier envelope.
Operation a Positioning Guide Positioning Guide Tube or Active Sensitive Side Printed Inactive Side Typical Air Techniques Size #2 Plate Configuration 11.2 Working with plates. Plates must be visibly checked for signs of damage. Damaged plates (e.g. a torn outer layer, or visible scratches, which will affect the diagnostic quality) must be replaced. Plates are flexible like X-ray film. Do not bend or subject to pressure. Do not scratch or get dirty. Do not put in an autoclave.
Operation 11.4 Cleaning phosphor storage plates. For the best images, plates should be handled carefully and kept clean. Use specially formulated PSP Cleaning Wipes (P/N B8910) to clean all plates. These single-use, extra soft, 100% polyester fabric wipes will not scratch or damage while safely removing dust, hair, dirt and smudges from the imaging surface. Use one wipe and clean plates as follows: 1. Gently wipe the PSP Cleaning Wipe over the dry Plate surface.
Operation Note: 1. The orientation letter “a”, printed on the PSP, may be used for reference as you would use the dot on an intraoral X-ray film. A backwards “a” (i.e. “ a ”), appearing in an image, is an indication that the image has been flipped. 2. If using holders with alligator clips, it is advisable to file down the points to avoid puncturing the Barrier Envelope. It is important to take care not to puncture the Barrier Envelope or damage the PSP. 11.8 Take an X-ray image.
Operation 12.2 Scanner plate processing. Using the ScanX, the user has the option to perform single plate processing or batch processing depending on their needs. Paragraph 12.3 provides the single plate and batch processing procedure. Loss of image data Image data on the plate will be lost when exposed to light. Transfer the PSP from the Barrier Envelope to the Inlet Guide slot quickly. Always keep the sensitive side away from any light source to minimize image loss.
Operation Loss of Image Data Image data on the plate will be lost when exposed to light. Transfer the PSP from the transfer box to the inlet guide slot quickly. Always keep the sensitive side away from any light source to minimize image loss. Make sure that the user-supplied imaging software is set to scan and the green control LED on the scanner is lit . 12.4 Scanning multiple plates. Scan and erase a plate as follows. 1. Carefully open the Plate Transfer Box. 2.

Operation 12.6 Image data scanning. ScanX can be used to scan in two different ways: Via user supplied imaging software (e.g. DBSWIN) and a PC Directly by using the touch screen and a Memory card (SDHC, max. 32 GB). Each option is described below. 12.
Operation NOTICE Damage to the touch screen due to incorrect handling • Only operate the touch screen using the tip of a finger or a stylus. • Do not use any sharp instrument (e.g. ballpoint pen) to operate the touch screen. • Protect the touch screen from water. 12.8 Scanning image data via the touch screen Refer to Section 9 for details on operating the touch screen. Select the Help field for further information on operating the unit via the touch screen.
Operation 12.9 Image recovery. After scanning image data via a computer. If an image transfer is terminated prematurely, a message will appear when you next try to acquire an image. Please ensure that the image is properly assigned to the correct patient. If the image belongs to the current patient record, click OK to accept the image into the patient record. If the image does not belong to the current patient record, click Cancel to exit TWAIN, keeping the image for the next acquisiton.
Operation 13. Disinfection and Cleaning Only use disinfection and cleaning agents specifically approved or manufactured by Air Techniques. Other cleaning agents and disinfectants could damage the ScanX and its accessories. Damage to ScanX: Do not spray disinfection or cleaning solutions on ScanX. Do not allow fluids to enter the unit. Where the appliance surfaces show signs of contamination or visible dirt, clean and disinfect the unit. Switch ScanX off by pressing the ON/OFF switch for 2 seconds.
Operation PSP with scratches Inspection interval Daily / before each use Monthly Every 3 months Action Clean the PSP, if applicable Check the PSP for scratches If there are scratches on the surface, take a homogeneous test image (see Check the PSP with a homogeneous test image), replace the PSP, if applicable Keep an eye on the image quality with each X-ray image taken, also refer to 15 1 Poor X-ray image Take a homogeneous test image of the PSP (refer to “Check the PSP with a homogeneous test image”) I
