Once used within the oral cavity, the barrier envelopes are bio-contaminated and should
NEVER be reused. Please dispose of in accordance with Section 7.4.
Imaging plates are toxic!
Never place an imaging plate in a patient's mouth without enclosing it first in a completely
sealed barrier envelope. If a patient swallows an imaging plate, contact a physician immedi-
ately. The physician must remove the imaging plate. Do not use cracked, bent or chipped
imaging plates.
Never open or override the lid lock when the scanner is in use or plugged in.
The scanner lid will lock during operation. In case of power failure, unplug the scanner and
open the lid by depressing the lock mechanism as indicated in Section 7.3.
Never use imaging plates with patients that might chew or swallow them.
If the patient bites or chews the plate and damages the protective barrier envelope, rinse the
patient's mouth with a large amount of water. If the patient manages to swallow any of the
blue surface of the plate, contact a doctor immediately.
