PLATE CARE & PREPARATION

Prior to performing the intraoral imaging procedures on the following pages, the user must be familiar with the care, handling and preparation of the Phosphor Storage Plate (PSP) in order to ensure successful image scanning . Figure 5 shows the configuration of a typical Intraoral Size #2 PSP .

Printed Side

Tube or

Sensitive Side

Figure 5 . Intraoral PSP Configuration

Handle PSPs with Care.



Avoid scratching or soiling PSPs .



Do not bend PSPs or apply unnecessary pressure .



Do not store PSPs in a hot or moist area .



Protect the PSPs from direct sunlight and ultraviolet rays .



Pick up the PSPs using two fingers around the edges to avoid unnecessary contact with the plates .

CAUTION: Always use a Barrier Envelope for each Intraoral plate. Exercise care in handling the plate so as not to scratch the sensitive surface or nick the edges.

Plate Protection

When storing Intraoral PSPs use the plate transfer box . Place the PSP covered with a Barrier Envelope with the sensitive (front) side of the PSP facing down into this box for protection and safekeeping .

IMPORTANT: PSPs must always be erased prior to use.

Note: Use PSPs within 24 hours of last erasure. Repeat erasing process if PSPs have been stored longer than 24 hours.

Erase the PSP

Each Intraoral PSP should be used (i .e . X-ray exposed and scanned) within 24 hours of erasure since natural radiation will add noise to the PSP . Erase PSPs by simply using the ScanX In-Line Erase Feature .

This can be accomplished using one of two methods as follows:

Note: Both erasing methods will result in an erased PSP suitable for reuse. The user will not observe any difference in ScanX operation when using either method.

Method #1

Perform the Imaging Procedures for PSPs on page 18 . Except when performing step 4 of the

Activate Scanner procedure, select the Erase option from the installed authorized imaging software to activate ScanX . This method does not scan the plate and no image will be acquired .

Method #2 .

Perform the normal Imaging Procedures for PSPs on page 18 . This method scans the plate and the imaging software may acquire a “junk image” (scanned latent plate image) that should subsequently be deleted from the imaging software (image folder) .

Air Techniques, Inc.

PLATE CARE & PREPARATION

Cleaning Phosphor Storage Plates

For the best images, PSPs should be handled carefully and kept clean . Use specially formulated PSP Cleaning Wipes (P/N B8910) to clean all PSPs . 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 . As shown by Figure 6, gently wipe the PSP Cleaning Wipe over the dry Plate surface . Wipe back and forth and then in a circular motion .

2 . Allow the plate surface to air dry . Make sure that the PSP is completely dry before re-using .

Figure 6 . PSP Cleaning

Disinfecting the Phosphor Storage Plates

There is no reason to routinely disinfect the PSPs unless contamination is suspected . If a PSP has touched a contaminated surface, it may be immersed briefly in a cold sterilant (such as a 2% Gluteraldehyde solution) according to sterilant manufacturers directions . Do not immerse the plate if there is any evidence of deep scratches in the surface of the plate or nicks in the edges of the plate . After disinfection, clean and dry the plate using the instructions above .

Disposal of Phosphor Storage Plates

Consult with your federal, national, state and local government, for rules and regulations on disposal of Phosphor Storage Plates .

Barrier Envelope Handling

Always guard against contamination by using standard infectious control procedures when handling individual barrier envelopes . It is best to discard suspected contaminated envelopes since no cleaning or disinfection procedure exist or are required for barrier envelopes .

2

The Barrier Envelope must be used only once and disposed of properly in accordance with local code.

Preparing Intraoral Plates for Patient Use

IMAGING PROCEDURES

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. In addition, a backwards “ a” (i.e. “ ”), appearing in an image, is an indication that the image has been flipped.

a

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.

Take an X-ray Image

Put an image on the PSP by performing the following procedure .

1 . Place the erased intraoral PSP in the sealed Barrier Envelope into the patient's mouth exactly as you would use X-ray film . Make sure the opaque side of the Barrier Envelope is facing the tubehead .

2 . Take the exposure . The X-ray dose may typically be reduced by 80 - 85% of that required for

D-speed intraoral film (depending on X-ray system used; the actual X-ray dose should be determined through experimentation) .

3 . Wearing gloves, remove the exposed PSP from the patient's mouth and place to the side making sure the sensitive side of the barrier envelope is facing away from any light source .

4 . Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary to complete the patient's X-ray series . When all necessary plates in the X-ray session have been exposed, prepare each plate by performing the procedure below .

Preparing the Exposed Plate for Scanner Processing

1 . Disinfect the Barrier Envelope (with plate still inside) and your gloves by washing with disinfectant hand soap and water . Dry the Barrier Envelope thoroughly .

2 . Remove gloves and wash any powder from hands . Powder on a PSP will degrade the image, and an accumulation of powder in the scanner will lead to degradation of scanner performance .

IMPORTANT: Be sure that the sensitive side of the PSP is facing down when it lands on the PSP Transfer box (See Figure 8, View C). If it is not sensitive side down, TURN IT OVER IMMEDIATELY.

Failure to do so may result in erasure of the PSP.

3 . Lay the PSP Transfer box on a flat surface near the ScanX as shown by Figure 8, View A .

4 . As shown by Figure 8, View B, remove the exposed PSP from its washed and dried envelope as follows: a . Hold the enveloped exposed PSP, with the printed side facing up, parallel to and about an inch above the PSP Transfer box .

b . Tear the envelope lengthwise starting at the notch to eject the PSP onto the PSP Transfer box .

5 . As shown by Figure 8, View C, the PSP is now ready to be scanned to read the image from the PSP by performing the Intraoral Imaging Procedures .

2 . Switch the scanner from Standby to ON by pressing the membrane POWER switch ( ) located on the Keypad Control Panel on the top of the scanner .

3 . Verify that both the green and blue LED indicators above the POWER and ERASER switches, respectively, illuminate . (Default mode has eraser ON .)

4 . Use the user-supplied authorized Imaging Software to activate the Scanner and to select the desired image type and resolution .

5 . Verify that the two Scanner track indicators illuminate green when the Scanner has been activated, indicating that PSPs can be fed into the corresponding Plate Guide .

Scanning and Erasing Plates

Scan and erase an intraoral PSP in one operation by performing the following procedures .

1 . Grasp a PSP by short edges between your thumb and index finger . See Figure 10 .

2 . With printed side facing you, carefully and quickly insert the PSP into the corresponding Plate Guide slot as far as possible .

3 . Immediately press the PSP all the way down with your fingertip (from position Figure 11 to position

Figure 12) until the scanner's transport mechanism takes over and the PSP moves down on its own .

4 . Verify that the track light illuminates yellow, indicating the Plate Guide slot is in use, the PSP has been sensed and the Scanner is transporting the PSP .

IMAGING PROCEDURES

Scanning and Erasing Plates (continued)

Note: Up to two PSPs can be processed simultaneously. One PSP at a time can be inserted into each Plate

Guide as long as the corresponding track indicator light is illuminated green. The next PSP may be fed into a Plate Guide slot only after the corresponding track indicator LED changes from yellow to green.

5 . Observe that a red glow emanates from the scanner exit slot .

6 . Repeat steps 1 through 5 to process additional PSPs as necessary . Another PSP may be fed into any

Plate Guide slot as long as the track indicator light illuminates green .

7 . Observe that each scanned and erased PSP drops into the receiving tray at the bottom of the scanner . Since ScanX default operation is with the erase mode enabled (blue LED indicator above the ERASER switch is steadily illuminated), each PSP is erased and ready for reuse .

8 . Observe that all transport indicators illuminate green and the red glow from the exit slot extinguish after the last PSP drops to the tray .

CAUTION: Always use exercise care in handling the PSPs so as not to scratch the sensitive surface or nick the edges.

9 . Retrieve the processed (scanned and erased) PSPs for reuse or storage . Make sure not to scratch the sensitive surface or nick the edges when removing from the scanner outlet .

10 . View and save each scanned image using the user-supplied authorized Imaging Software .

IMPORTANT: PSPs will not be erased after scanning when operating ScanX with the eraser disabled.

PSPs must always be erased prior to exposure to X-rays for new images.

Scanning Plates without Erasing

ScanX can be operated with the in-line eraser feature turned off . When the eraser mode is disabled, ScanX scans the same as when the eraser is enabled except that the PSPs are not erased after scanning . Scan an intraoral PSP without erasing the image by performing the following procedures .

1 . Activate the scanner by performing the procedures on previous page .

Note: Upon activation, ScanX defaults with the eraser mode enabled. This must be disabled prior to scanning to prevent erasing of the scanned PSP.

2 . Disable the eraser mode of operation by pressing the membrane ERASER switch located on the Keypad

Control Panel . See Figure 13 .

3 . Verify that the blue LED indicator above the ERASER switch blinks blue to indicate that the Erase function is

OFF . PSPs will not be erased after scanning .

4 . Insert the exposed PSPs to be scanned into ScanX Plate

Guides by performing the Scanning and Erasing Plates procedures provided on the previous page .

5 . The scanned PSPs still contain latent images that require erasure . Make sure to erase each PSP prior to reuse for new images .

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance Procedures

ScanX is designed for many years of trouble-free operation . Maintenance as described herein is minimal .

Cleaning ScanX

Turn off ScanX, disconnect the line cord from the Mains wall outlet and disconnect the computer connection cable from ScanX before cleaning . Wipe the outside surfaces with a soft paper towel dampened with a disinfectant solution or non-abrasive household cleaner . Be careful not to allow solvents TO RUN

OR DRIP into the unit . This could cause damage to ScanX . Allow to air dry before plugging in or turning back on .

Disinfecting ScanX

No disinfection is required for ScanX .

Cleaning the Plate Guides

Wash the Plate Guides with a non-abrasive cleaner and water . Dry thoroughly .

IMPORTANT: Plate Guides must not be put in an autoclave.

Note: Always use standard infection control procedures when handling devices that contact the patient.

Disinfecting the Plate Guides

There is no reason to routinely disinfect the Plate Guide unless contamination is suspected . If a Plate

Guide has touched a contaminated surface, it may be immersed briefly in a cold sterilant according to sterilant manufacturers directions . After disinfection, clean and dry the Plate Guide using the instructions above .

Cleaning the Plate Transport

Over time, small debris and dust can accumulate in the plate transport mechanism causing a loss in image quality and possible damage to the PSPs .

To ensure optimal ScanX performance, the plate transport should be cleaned once per week using a new

ScanX Cleaning Sheet each time . Sheets can be purchased from your dealer . Refer to ACCESSORIES page 24 .

MAINTENANCE

Phosphor Storage Plates (PSPs).

PSP's are subject to "wear" on the black side during normal handling and use . They can appear scratched, while the sensitive blue or white side remains relatively "smooth" . This scratched look on the black side has absolutely no effect on the quality of the image and should be expected under normal conditions . If the phosphor side is scratched make sure the plates are being handled properly and not being dragged from

ScanX tray area or other surfaces that could cause scratching of the plate . Make sure to review the Plate

Care and Preparation information provided on page 15 of this manual .

SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE

Like all precision products, ScanX requires a certain amount of care on a regularly scheduled basis .
