8 Technical characteristics
The technical characteristics and some among the main system functions will largely depend on the characteristics of
the radiographic generator and of the software used to display and store the images.
To obtain the best results, it is preferable to use a constant-potential (DC) radiographic generator with long rectangular
collimator (focus-to-skin distance not below 30cm).
Old x-ray models that do not permit the exposure times to be sufficiently reduced may not be suitable for use with the
ZEN-X / ZEN-Xi system.
Environmental characteristics
● Apparatus designed to work under environmental conditions present in closed work areas in accordance with the
parameters set forth by standards I.E.C. 60601-1.
● Not protected against the penetration of liquids (degree of protection (IPX0).
● Never use in the presence of mixtures of flammable anesthetic gas with air, oxygen or nitrogen protoxide.
● Do not install in areas exposed to freezing temperatures.

the quality of the images is strictly dependant on the x-ray generator employed.
The generator may be AC or DC, power supply 60-70 KV, current 3-10mA. An
x-ray tube with focal spot smaller than 0.8mm is recommended.
As the sensor is extremely sensitive, a constant potential x-ray generator (DC)
with effective time control within tens of milliseconds is recommended. Some
older x-ray generators may not be suitable.
Use of a positioner guarantees the sensor's sensitive area is centered and that
it is perpendicular with the x-ray tube. Use of a positioner is strongly recom-
mended. The clinician should choose the most suitable one based on his/her
own experience.
control
The disposable protection control sheaths are mandatory to safeguard the pa-
tient and operator against cross-contamination. The disposable protection control
sheaths are class IIa medical devices. They must comply to standard ISO10993-
1 regarding biocompatibility and cannot be replaced with others that are poorer
quality.
