bility of your system by performing maintenance on it at
regular intervals (at least once annually) or having this
work performed by your dental dealership.
As the operator, you should ensure the safety and relia-
bility of your system by performing maintenance on it at
regular intervals (at least once annually) or having this
work performed by your dental dealership.
In addition to the scheduled annual inspection by the
user or persons contracted to perform this, a mainte-
nance inspection must be performed after 4, 7 10 and
then every two years.
At regular intervals, however at least once a year, the
user must evaluate the image quality.
For X-rays requiring developing of films, the increase in
the kV/mA value pairs and the change in the density
serve as the evaluation criterion (for cephalometry, the
increase in switching times as well).
If these evaluation criteria are fulfilled independently of
the patient anatomy and of possible sources of error,
such as developing of film or patient positioning, contact
a service technician immediately in order to eliminate
possible unit faults.
In addition it is necessary to observe country-specific
requirements.
Furthermore, we would like to call your attention to the
brochures of film manufacturers and also to our Quality
Image Service. For this, please contact your dental
dealer or the manufacturer directly.
