Caution statements
Reduce the exposure time on your intraoral X-ray unit.
The DenOptix QST System is designed to produce high quality, diagnostic images at reduced
radiation levels. To get the maximum benefit, we recommend that the exposure be reduced
as outlined in Section 5.1.
Completely erase the imaging plates.
Before reusing an imaging plate, place it with the blue or white surface up facing a bright
light source for at least two (2) minutes as described in Section 5.2.
Mount the imaging plates under low light conditions.
Mount the imaging plates to the carousel under low light conditions as described in
Section 5.4. Exposure to direct sunlight or direct indoor lighting will erase the information
stored on the imaging plate.
Do not place scanner on or next to a radiator or water source.
Excessive heat or small amounts of water may damage the scanner's electrical components.
Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics mixtures.
Do not autoclave the imaging plates.
Autoclaving will damage the imaging plate. If this happens, discard the imaging plate and
replace it with a new one. If an imaging plate becomes contaminated, follow the procedure
described in Section 5.6.
Do not leave unscanned, exposed imaging plates in light.
Leaving unscanned, exposed imaging plates in light will cause severe loss of image quality.
If left exposed for long time, or to bright light, the image may be erased entirely.
Do not scratch the imaging plates.
When handling the imaging plate, do not touch the active side (blue or white) any sharp
object that might scratch the surface. Do not lay unprotected imaging plates face down.
