Preparing the CS 3500
The reusable tip attaches to the body of the CS 3500 and provides a sanitary shield for the patient.
Always disinfect the body of the CS 3500, and clean and sterilize the tip after each use.
To prepare the CS 3500, follow these steps:
1
Make sure the lens window at the base of the CS 3500 is clean by wiping it with a moist, lint-free
cloth or lens tissue.
2
Slide the tip onto the CS 3500 as illustrated, with the lens facing downward (A) for a lower jaw
view or upward (B) for an upper jaw view.
Important: The removable scanner tip is autoclavable up to 20
cycles. After 20 cycles, discard the tip. See the CS 3500 Safety,
Regulatory, and Technical Specifications User Guide for more
information.
WARNING: The base of the CS 3500 becomes heated when the
CS 3500 is turned on. Do not touch the heating element at the base of
the CS 3500.
Note: Always begin scanning with the regular tip, and scan as much of the
mouth as possible. If necessary, change to the small tip to reach areas that
are not accessible with the regular tip.
