INTRODUCTION
The CARINA
1.5 Digital Intraoral Sensor is a digital x-ray sensor that is designed
TM
specifically for intraoral x-ray imaging upon human patients for diagnostic use. Intraoral
x-rays are captured using standard intraoral x-ray imaging techniques as performed by
trained dentists and associated care providers.
No physical, mechanical, or electrical connection exists between the CARINA
and the x-ray source. The sensor is initialized via software to wait for and detect onset of
exposure from the x-ray source; and creates a digital image after being exposed with x-rays;
and delivers the sensor data to the PC that the sensor is coupled to via USB connection.
No modification of any kind is allowed to the CARINA
repair must be performed exclusively by CARINA
Essential Performance
The essential performance of the CARINA
gration with an imaging software (PACS) and the sensor's ability to capture intraoral x-ray
images that allow visual recognition of dental anatomical structures and pathologies
as well as abnormal dental conditions. The digital x-ray images are used for diagnosis,
treatment, and monitoring of the dental structures, pathologies, and conditions in child
and adult dental patients.
Product Description
The CARINA
Digital Intraoral Sensor is an indirect converting x-ray detector. A scintillat-
TM
ing material converts the incident x-ray flux into visible light photons, this light is coupled
optically and directed to a CMOS technology light detection imager via a fiber optic
faceplate, and then converted to digital data.
Once the sensor is initialized via software command; the design of the sensor assembly
supports automatic detection of the onset of incoming x-rays flux and which then the
sensor integrates and generates the intraoral digital x-ray image.
The CARINA
TM
Digital Intraoral Sensor implements a dedicated and encapsulated electronic
assembly including a housing, an image sensor, a permanently attached USB cable, and
a software driver. The data is delivered via the USB cable connection to the PC. The power
for the electronic assembly is supplied via USB connection.
Indications for Use
CARINA
is a USB-driven digital intraoral x-ray sensorwhich is intended to acquire dental
TM
radiographic images. The CARINA
Digital Intraoral Sensor must be operated by healthcare
TM
professionals who have been trained and are competent using various methods of acquiring
radiographic images of dental anatomy. The CARINA
with dental positioning devices and holders to assist with aligning an x-ray source beam
with the sensor and anatomy. The CARINA
by hand with assistance of patient.
Take precautions to protect yourself from radiation. Please refer to Instructions
for use of the intraoral x-ray equipment being used with the CARINA
Intraoral Sensor.
Under no circumstances should operator of system hold sensor by hand during
x-ray exposure.
Instruct patient not to bite on a sensor. Use positioning techniques to minimize ability for
patient to bite sensor. Biting a sensor may damage the internal components, affecting
image quality and performance, and resulting damage may void the CARINA
Digital Intraoral Sensor warranty.
