Safety Issues
Check Schick 33 Sensor and USB Interface before Using Them
Before each usage, check the outer surface of the Schick 33 Sensor and
USB Interface for any signs of physical damage or defect. Schick 33
Sensor and USB Interface surfaces should have a smooth finish, with no evidence of chipping or damage. If detected, contact your local distributor of Sirona Dental products for further instructions.
To help ensure proper hygiene and to protect against infectious
disease, refer to the Protective Measures section on page 48 of this
document and observe all device cleaning and patient protection recommendations specified there.
Operate Schick 33 Sensor and USB Interface as Directed
Always use the Schick 33 Sensor and USB Interface in accordance with the directions and recommendations contained in this User Guide. Do not attempt to modify the Schick 33 Sensor and USB Interface or use it in system configurations not specified in this document.
Do Not Touch Exposed Connectors on Non-Medical Equipment and the Patient at the
Same Time
When the Schick 33 Sensor and USB Interface are in use, avoid touching exposed connectors on non-medical electrical equipment and the patient at the same time. The human body is capable of conducting electrical current and may cause a shock hazard to patients if appropriate safety practices are not observed.
RF Interference Considerations
Although the Schick 33 Sensor and USB Interface are designed to provide a reasonable degree of protection from electromagnetic interference, according to IEC International regulations, they must be installed at an adequate distance from electricity transformer rooms, static continuity units, two-way amateur radios and cellular phones. To ensure proper operation, the latter (meaning, electricity transformer
Schick 33 System User Guide B1051079 Rev. A iii
rooms, static continuity units, two-way amateur radios and cellular phones) can be used only at a minimum distance of 5 feet (1.5m) from any part of the Schick 33 Sensor and USB Interface.
Any instrumentation or equipment for professional use located near the Schick 33 Sensor and USB Interface must conform to
Electromagnetic Compatibility regulations, to which the EMC tables in this document’s Appendix serve as guidance. Non-conforming equipment, with known poor immunity to electromagnetic fields, may not operate properly unless they are installed at a distance of at least 10 feet (3m) and supplied by a dedicated electrical line.
Apply Recommended Procedures for Cleaning the Equipment
Safe and proper operation of the equipment requires following a regular schedule of preventive maintenance. Refer to “Protective
Measures” in this document for details.
Do Not Connect Items that are Not Part of the System
Only items specified for use with the Schick 33 Sensor and USB
Interface are to be connected to it. The device should not be used adjacent to other equipment that is not part of the system. If, however, use with adjacent equipment is necessary, normal operation should be observed and verified in that configuration.
Installers to Ensure that Schick 33 Sensor and USB Interface Operate Optimally
Installers must ensure that the Schick 33 Sensor and USB Interface provide the user with the optimal use of the equipment. This includes, but is not limited to, ensuring that the system operates as described in this document. To avoid unintentional contact with the USB Interface by the patient, place the USB Interface in a location where accidental contact is prevented Installers must also ensure that the system presents no physical obstacles or hazards during operation and when not in use. To verify this requirement, installers shall confirm that the
Schick 33 Sensor and USB Interface are installed as described in this
User Guide and shall perform the appropriate procedures therein.
iv B1051079 Rev. A Schick 33 System User Guide
Ensure Proper System and PC Workstation Installation and Operation
The Schick 33 Sensor and USB Interface have been determined to be in accordance with international safety standards and are deemed suitable for use within the patient area, which extends from the patient for a distance of 5 ft (1.5m). To comply with these standards, do not operate non-medical equipment (such as a PC workstation) inside the patient area. Outside the patient area, the presence of approved nonmedical grade equipment and Listed / Approved / IEC 60950-1 certified Information Technology Equipment (ITE) computer equipment is acceptable.
The host computer (PC workstation) should be CE-approved and conform with the Low Voltage [73/23/EC] and EMC Directive
[89/336/ERC]. Also, to help ensure optimal performance, ensure that all software programs residing on the workstation are virus-free and have been adequately tested so they will not impact imaging applications after installation.
Only Dentists or Authorized Designees Are Permitted to Operate the System
To ensure the correct use of the Schick 33 Sensor and USB Interface in a clinical environment, for purposes that correspond to its intended design and application, only dentists, or their designees, are authorized to operate the system.
Protect Sensor from Potential ESD Damage
Like other electronic devices, your Schick 33 Sensor is susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD), particularly when the device is used in or around carpeted areas or low-humidity environments. During cable replacement, when Sensor contacts are exposed, it is especially important to protect the device from potential ESD damage. Touching a metal surface prior to replacing the Schick 33 cable will reduce the risk of damaging Sensor components by accidental static discharge.
Using anti-static floor mats or floor treatments (for example Staticide
2005/2002) will also help eliminate static build-up in your office.
Wait for Appropriate Prompts before Operating X-ray Source
To avoid exposing the patient to unnecessary X-rays, ensure that the
CDR exam window viewbox is flashing green (default color) in
Schick 33 System User Guide B1051079 Rev. A v
AutoTake mode, or that the message, “Waiting to take X-ray,” is displayed before triggering the X-ray Source.
Always Use Sheaths with Sensors
Use Sirona Dental sheaths every time the Schick 33 Sensor is used.
Never use the Sensor without a protective sheath. Never use a damaged sheath. Always dispose of the sheath after every
patient.
Protective sheaths are single-use devices and must not be reused under any circumstance. Reuse of single-use devices/instruments may cause them to become contaminated, compromise their intended function, and result in patient and user infection, injury and/or illness.
Take Appropriate Precautions during X-ray Operation
Always observe the safety guidelines and precautions supplied with your X-ray generator and by local regulatory authorities.
Follow All Instructions to Ensure Cable Replacement Procedures are Performed Correctly
Follow all instructions to ensure the successful replacement of your
Schick 33 cables. When performing the cable replacement procedure, it is especially important to tighten the screws that attach the cable to the
Sensor by turning them at least one-quarter revolution clockwise after initial
resistance or until they cannot be turned any further. An improperly attached cable may cause an intermittent connection and prevent the Sensor

1.6.
Relationship with CDR Elite Sensors
Schick 33 represents the next step in imaging technology innovations from Sirona Dental. Extending the forward evolution from CDR Elite,
Schick 33 is the result of changes made inside the Sensor itself, in the enclosure around the Sensor, and performance enhancements incorporated in CDR DICOM software.
To benefit from new imaging features designed specifically for Schick
33 Sensors, customers will need to upgrade to the latest software
(CDR 5.0 and higher). This software version is fully compatible with
CDR Elite Sensors, as well as our other sensor and USB products.
Like CDR Elite Sensors, Schick 33 Sensors are detected automatically by CDR software when connected to a PC workstation (by the
AutoDetect feature, as described in Section 3.11 on page 27). Also, the Schick
33/ Elite USB Interfaces used with CDR Elite Sensors will work as well with Schick 33 Sensors. Either Sensor will operate just by connecting it.
Please note that the Schick 33/Elite USB Interface enclosure is specifically designed for Schick 33 Sensors and CDR Elite Sensors and will not accommodate any other sensor type for which it was not intended.

Schick 33 Sensors are capable of acquiring images in either highresolution mode or normal mode. High-resolution mode, which is unique to Schick 33 Sensors, captures a level of detail of 33 LP/mm: higher than that found in other Sensor products currently available.
The increase in image information in high-resolution mode means also that the transfer from acquisition-to-display time may be higher. On newer PCs with multiple processors this difference is negligible. Highresolution images are also physically larger in terms of their file sizes: approximately 8 MB / image with a size 2 Sensor.
3.9.1. Enabling High Resolution Acquisition
Taking high-resolution images with Schick 33 Sensors is enabled by default (High Resolution Acquisition option selected). If this option has been turned off and you wish to re-enable it, open the X-ray acquisition options page and click on the High Resolution Acquisition checkbox. (In CDR DICOM, browse to the System menu, select X-ray
Settings, click on the Sensor tab, and mark the High Resolution
Acquisition checkbox. Click Apply, and click OK to close the X-ray acquisition options page.)
3.9.2. Disabling High Resolution Acquisition
Taking high-resolution images can be disabled at any time by clicking the “High Resolution Acquisition” checkbox to remove the checkmark. When the checkbox is cleared, Schick 33 Sensors will acquire images in normal resolution.

Sharpen and High-Resolution Images
Sharpen is a tool for image enhancement developed specifically for
Schick 33 images. Sharpen uses a combination of different functions to optimize Schick 33 images for detail and contrast. It is applied automatically to every image taken with Schick 33 Sensors.
To adjust image sharpness dynamically, a Sharpen slider and a Sharpen cursor are available. The slider can be shown or hidden. It can also be positioned at the Top or Bottom areas outside the image, or as an
Overlay on the image.

3.10.4.
Using the Sharpen Slider
The Sharpen slider is used to adjust image sharpness dynamically, as additional enhancement to the automatic sharpening that occurs when high-resolution images are displayed. A Sharpen percentage is shown on the slider and serves as an easy way to remember the specific
Sharpen settings that are most useful to you.
User profiles, described in detail in Section 3.11 on page 27 can save
Sharpness settings for various commonly-performed clinical tasks such as Endodontic, Periodontic, General Dentistry, and Restorative. For example, once you have set a particular Sharpness setting for a clinical task, the slider will move automatically to that position.
Please note that manual adjustments of image sharpness by using the
Sharpen slider or the Sharpen cursor are not saved with the image.
3.10.5.
Using the Sharpen Cursor
Adjusting the slider dynamically is one way of varying the effects of the
Sharpen tool. It is also possible to use the Sharpen cursor to change the amount of sharpening. To adjust image sharpness dynamically by using the cursor, perform the following steps:
1. Move your cursor over a high-resolution image (taken with a
Schick 33 Sensor.
2. Press the right-mouse button to open a short menu.
4. Press the left-mouse button, which changes the Sharpen icon to a two-arrow cursor.
5. Keeping the mouse button depressed, move the cursor up to increase sharpness.
6. Keeping the mouse button depressed, move the cursor down to decrease sharpness
7. Sharpen remains active until another tool (like Zoom, Pan, or
Brightness / Contrast) is selected.
Schick 33 System User Guide B1051079 Rev. A 25
3.10.6.
Using Sharpen with Other Image Enhancements
As Sharpen is applied automatically each time a Schick 33 image is displayed, the Sharpen enhancement cannot be saved with the image in the way that other image tools in the Zoom Window are (like Colorize,
Equalize, etc.). For the same reason, Sharpen does not appear on the
Change List (Edit > List All Changes in the CDR Zoom Window), nor are user adjustments in Sharpen retained when the Zoom Window is closed.
Please note that the image enhancements introduced with the CDR Elite product
— Edge High, Edge Low, and Smooth — have no effect on images acquired with
Schick 33 Sensors and their effects are effectively ignored. (They are still available, when
enabled, for images taken with CDR Elite Sensors.)

Diagnostic Tasks and User Profiles
Schick 33 sensors and supporting software enable the clinician to optimize image presentation to a level appropriate for the diagnostic task being performed. These settings are applied at display time and do not affect the original image data. Diagnostic Task selections can be changed for any image, from one task to another, and back at will.
The different task selections optimize the contrast and brightness of the displayed image to improve visibility of the anatomical structures important for that diagnostic task. Refer to the table below.
In addition to contrast optimization, the visibility of some anatomical structures benefit from additional image sharpening. Selecting any diagnostic task applies an initial level of sharpening to the image. A slider control is available to dynamically change the level of image sharpness in real time. Users also use the slider in conjunction with the
“Save As Default” button to change the default sharpen level to their personal viewing preferences for each of the clinical tasks described here.

CDR AutoDetect
The CDR AutoDetect feature instantly recognizes when a different
Schick USB device is connected — including standard (CDR 2000), high-speed (CDR Remote HS), Schick 33/Elite, and Wireless / SDX interfaces — skipping the step of manually selecting a new Schick USB device before using it.
CDR AutoDetect will be most useful for offices that employ a mix of
Schick USB interfaces and Sensors and use them interchangeably within one or several operatories.
3.12.1. Enabling CDR AutoDetect
CDR AutoDetect is enabled by default. If, however, it has been disabled and you wish to re-enable it, open the X-ray acquisition options page (in CDR DICOM, browse to the System menu and select
X-ray Settings). If unchecked, click on the CDR AutoDetect to mark the checkbox and enable this option. You might also notice that the
Hardware Type drop-down box becomes unavailable, as detection of
Schick USB devices and Sensors will be performed automatically.
3.12.2. Disabling CDR AutoDetect
CDR AutoDetect can be disabled at any time by clicking the checkbox again, which removes the checkmark. By disabling CDR AutoDetect you will need to return to this property page when switching different hardware types on the same workstation and manually select the new device from the drop-down menu.
30
B1051079 Rev. A Schick 33 System User Guide
3.12.3. How CDR USB Devices are Detected
CDR AutoDetect requires that the Schick 33/Elite USB Interface (or
Remote HS or Wireless / SDX interface) be connected for the system to recognize it. Once the USB device is connected, we say that it is
“known” by CDR AutoDetect, which informs the imaging program to begin using that device. Only the CDR2000 USB Remote Module behaves differently, meaning that the USB device and the Sensor (both of them) must be connected for CDR AutoDetect to recognize the
CDR2000 USB device. If no Schick intraoral USB device for X-ray acquisition is connected, a notification window reports this when the
CDR DICOM application starts
3.12.4. Changing CDR USB Devices
When a known USB device is plugged into the system, a notification window appears momentarily, indicating that the device was just detected and has become active.
It is also possible to interact with the CDR AutoDetect feature by clicking on the notification window when it appears or by doubleclicking on the CDR AutoDetect icon that is present in the Windows system tray when CDR AutoDetect is enabled. Performing this action will display a pop-up dialog that lists all the “known” USB devices currently connected to the system.
When the imaging software is loaded initially, or when CDR
AutoDetect is initially turned on, the system will populate the dialog with all known currently connected devices. If several devices are listed, the one that is highlighted signifies the currently active device.
To select a different device using the monitor, select the device
(highlighting it), and then click the Select Device button.

A sample screen of the Utility is shown below. (Please note that the version
numbers shown in the picture below are examples only and may differ from those
reported for your system.)
32
B1051079 Rev. A Schick 33 System User Guide
3.13.2. USB Interface Test
The USB Interface Test checks the connection between the Schick 33/Elite
USB Interface and the host
computer. During this check, a test pattern appears with alternating sections of black and white rows. A counter located below the image window updates as the pattern is generated.
A count of at least 10 test pattern images is usually sufficient to determine if there are USB problems that would cause poor test patterns to be generated. The absence of any test pattern (blank image window), or the appearance of distorted lines, indicates a problem between the
Schick 33/Elite USB Interface and the host computer to which it is connected.
There may be one or more reasons for poor test patterns, which can be the result of a problem with the Schick 33/Elite USB Interface or its USB connector, or the USB cable and / or port, or corrupt firmware inside the Schick 33/Elite USB Interface. Additional troubleshooting can be performed if another Schick 33/Elite USB
Interface is available. In this case, connecting a different USB device to the USB cable and repeating the USB Interface Test may help to identify the possible cause of the problem.
Perform the following steps to run the USB Interface diagnostic test.

Using Your Schick 33 Sensor
5.2.1. Sensor Sheaths and Holders
Sheaths and the appropriate holders are required for Schick 33
Sensors. New sheaths and Sensor holders (if they are the disposable type) are required for each new patient and must be disposed of properly after patient use.
Before using a new sheath, select one that is appropriate for the size of the Sensor. You may find that the sheath seems slightly undersized, which is necessary to provide a secure barrier around the Sensor. Once you have selected the sheath, slide the Sensor into it.
Using an appropriate Sensor positioning system, adjusting the X-ray setting depending on intraoral position, and placing the X-ray source as close as possible to the imaging area of the Sensor: all of these contribute towards obtaining quality digital X-ray images. For proper placement and usage of CDR Sensor holders, please refer to the CDR
Positioning System User Guide, distributed with Sensor Holder kits and also available on our website.
5.2.2. Sensor Cleaning and Disinfecting
Before using the Schick 33 Sensor the first time, and before every new
patient, please perform the steps described in Section 7.2 on page 48.

6. Cable Replacement
IMPORTANT! Always disconnect the Sensor from the USB interface before cable replacement to avoid potential damage to Sensor components. Close CDR DICOM or any other imaging application (EagleSoft or Patterson
Imaging) prior to starting cable replacement. When performing cable replacement, always work outside the patient area, using the tools and materials supplied and / or recommended by Sirona Dental.
IMPORTANT! Like other electronic devices, your Schick 33 Sensor is susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD), particularly when the device is used in or around carpeted areas or low-humidity environments. During cable replacement, when Sensor contacts are exposed, it is especially important to protect the device from potential ESD damage. Touching a metal surface prior to replacing the cable will reduce the risk of damaging Sensor components by accidental static discharge. The use of anti-static floor mats or floor treatments (for example Staticide 2005/2002) will also help eliminate static build-up in your office.

7. Protective Measures
7.1.
Introduction
IMPORTANT! Be sure to disconnect the Schick 33/Elite USB Interface from the Sensor and the USB cable before performing any cleaning procedures.
The Schick 33 Sensor should be thoroughly cleaned after each use. The following cleaning and disinfection recommendations are intended to accomplish intermediate-level disinfection and will prepare the product to be safely used and reused during its life.
The Schick 33/Elite USB Interface is not intended to be moved or to come in contact with a patient during clinical use. If the USB Interface becomes soiled or comes into contact with a patient, it should be cleaned following the same protocol as the Schick 33 Sensor.
Sensor positioning accessories, such as aiming rings, arms, and holders, should be cleaned and disinfected following manufacturer’s instructions. If you are using the Rinn holder system, refer to their product documentation or their website for more information.
Schick’s disposable tabs and holders are single–use only, as are the hygienic barriers (sheaths) that are used with them.
7.2.
Cleaning and Disinfecting
In a clinical use environment, the health care provider should wear protective disposable gloves and cover the Schick 33 Sensor with a hygienic barrier. Before using the Schick 33 Sensor the first time, and before every new patient, the following protocol is recommended:
• Remove and discard all protective hygienic barriers and / or sheaths from the Sensor prior to removing disposable gloves.
• Place the Sensor on a tray covered by a disposable liner, or in a receptacle that can be thoroughly disinfected.
• Remove and discard gloves.
• Wash hands and put on a new pair of disposable gloves.
• Disconnect Sensor from Schick 33/Elite USB Interface.
• If the Sensor or cable are visibly soiled (e.g., with blood or saliva), each should be cleaned with a soapy cloth or paper towel, and then dried with a clean lint-free cloth or paper towel.
