and practice the restore process at least once on a test system. Verify that both
the operating system and data have been accurately preserved. Consult with your
IT support team for questions.
Installing the CARINA Digital Intraoral Sensor
TM
PLEASE NOTE: CARINA Digital Intraoral Sensor does not require calibration. Any calibration
TM
files are pre-loaded in a sensor's physical on-board non-volatile memory and
therefore the installer does not need to install calibration files onto each PC,
and which is often the case with other brands of sensors.
Installation includes:
1. Installing the device driver if it is not already available on that computer.
2. Connecting the sensor to a computer.
INSTALLING DEVICE DRIVER FOR SENSOR
1. Ensure that the computer to which you are connecting the sensor to has a compatible
imaging software installed.
2. If the compatible imaging software doesn't install the CARINA
it can be downloaded from https://henryscheinequipmentcatalog.com/carina. After
downloading, run the installer [CARINADriverSetup.exe] and follow the instructions that
appear on the screen.
CONNECT A CARINA SENSOR
TM
1. Carefully plug the USB end of the CARINA
Do not use force. Ensure that the plug is properly oriented with the USB port. Try rotating
the USB plug if it does not easily insert into the USB port.
2. When the sensor is plugged into the computer the Windows operating system will detect
that a USB device has been plugged in.
3. Follow the installation instructions that appear on the screen
4. After use is complete, unplug the USB end of the sensor cable from the USB port to
disconnect the CARINA sensor.

ADJUSTING THE X-RAY SOURCE
CARINA Digital Intraoral Sensor is generally compatible with any dental intraoral x-ray
TM
unit. Digital sensors normally require much shorter exposure times than film does thanks to
the high sensitivity of the sensor technology. For this, Direct Current (DC), or high frequency
x-ray generators are recommended for optimal use. These generators provide stabilized
tube voltage (kV) and reproducible exposure doses even with the very short exposure
times. Please refer to your x-ray generator manual for the recommended exposures times
for digital sensors as x-ray exposure values vary by make and model.
IMPORTANT: X-ray generators, even among the same brands, may differ greatly in their
performance based on generator values, age, use rate, and many other
factors. In addition, on newer x-ray machines, the "digital" setting on the
x-ray interface may not be the ideal setting. Users should determine the
best settings per x-ray head based on desired image results.
CONFORMANCE TO STANDARDS
All x-ray equipment for the dental intraoral radiography used with CARINA
Digital Intraoral Sensor must conform to IEC 60601-2-65.
CARINA Sensor conform to the safety standard IEC 60601-1.
TM
All IT components electrically connected to the CARINA
60950-1.

TM
English
Normally, the IT components are placed outside the patient environment. IT components
placed inside the patient environment, due to customer site requirements, must also
conform to IEC 60601-1.
IEC 60601-1 defines the "patient environment" as "any volume in which intentional or
unintentional contact can occur between a Patient and parts of the Medical Equipment
(ME) or ME System or between a Patient and other persons touching parts of the ME
Equipment or ME System."
US Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a dentist or other
licensed practitioner.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
All external surfaces of the sensor, sensor cable, sensor holders, and the sensor sheaths
are considered to be Type BF applied parts and are safe for normal or accidental patient
contact during use.
CARINA Digital Intraoral Sensor does not have serviceable parts. Do not open the
TM
device to service it. All aspects of the sensor that are meant to be attended to by the
operator are accessible without opening the internal components of the device. If there is
a service problem, contact a qualified service representative from whom you purchased
your CARINA
TM
X-Ray Protection
The rules of dental radiography still apply to digital x-ray systems. Please continue to use
protection for your patients. As a clinician, clear the immediate area when exposing the sensor.
Mains Isolation
Disconnection from the supply mains occurs at the input to the computer. The sensor can
also be disconnected from the computer.
Prevention of Cross-Contamination
To help prevent cross-contamination between patients, place a new hygienic
barrier on the
cover the sensor and at least 3 to 4 inches (7 to 10 centimeters) of the cable.
For information about cleaning the sensor, please refer to the Care Instructions in Appendix D.
Sensor Inspection
Always inspect the sensor, cable, and position devices for physical damage prior to
every use. See Care Instructions in Appendix D for more information.
Remove sensor from service if damage to the cable or housing is observed,
otherwise exposure to elevated surface temperature or improper function-
ality may result.
Disposal
Waste of electrical and electronic equipment must not be disposed as unsort-
ed municipal waste. It must be collected separately and must be disposed as
per local regulations. Contact your authorized representative for information
concerning the decommissioning of your equipment.
X-RAY GENERATOR SETTINGS
The radiation of x-ray tubes is controlled by the settings of:
TM
• Exposure time (milliseconds) or pulses
• Voltage (kV or KVp)
• Current (mA)
• Distance between the x-ray generator and the sensor
