30 Chapter 3 Setting Up the Scanner
Preparing the CS 3800 Wired Scanner
The reusable tip attaches to the body of the scanner and provides a sanitary shield for the patient.
Always disinfect the body of the scanner, and clean and sterilize the tip after each use.
To prepare the scanner, follow these steps:
1
Make sure the lens window at the base of the scanner is clean by wiping it with a moist, lint-free
cloth or lens tissue.
2
Slide the tip onto the scanner as illustrated, with the lens facing downward (A) or to the side,
facing left (B). Ensure that the indentation on the base of the tip aligns with the raised notch on the
top of the scanner.
Important: Scanner tips received from the manufacturer are NOT
sterile. You must sterilize the tips before the first use.
Important: If you limit the exposure time at 134°C to not more than 4
minutes, you can autoclave the tip up to 110 cycles. See the CS 3800
Family Safety, Regulatory, and Technical Specifications User Guide for
more information.
Important: DO NOT cover the air inlet on the scanner’s rear cover.
Important: Use the posterior tip in hard-to-reach areas and for
quadrant scanning only. Use the normal tip or the side-facing tip
when scanning a full arch.
