7.3
Taking acquisitions with the CEREC Omnicam
CAUTION
Hot surface!
The coated sapphire glass of the CEREC Omnicam is preheated in
the camera cradle. When removing the CEREC Omnicam from its
cradle, the surface temperature of the mirror sleeve can be up to
51°C. This may cause an unpleasant heat sensation on contact with a
person's skin or mucous membrane. These temperatures will not
damage the skin or mucosal membrane.
After removing the CEREC Omnicam from the camera cradle, the
temperature of the mirror sleeve drops within a few minutes (< 5
minutes) to less than 43°C. The CEREC Omnicam is therefore
suitable for use in the patient's mouth for an unlimited period of time.
At an ambient temperature from 30°C, only select the three lower
heater settings.
The surface temperature of the mirror sleeve can reach up to 51 °C
when the camera has been operating continuously for more than 20
minutes in an ambient temperature of more than 30 °C.
NOTE
Image brightness
The image brightness during the acquisition is controlled
automatically, so that there is always optimum image brightness,
largely independent of the distance between the CEREC Omnicam
and the tooth.
The surroundings of the tooth to be scanned should be as weakly
illuminated as possible. Avoid any type of external light. Switch off the
operating light.
IMPORTANT
Do not use cotton rolls in the scan area
Do not use any cotton rolls in the vicinity of the scan area, as they can
reduce the precision of the scan and create image interference.
CAUTION
Prevent cross-contamination
Germs can be transmitted to uncontaminated persons via the hands,
materials or objects.
➢ For hygiene reasons, wear a new set of disposable gloves for
each patient when using the scanner.
CAUTION
In the case of patients who are allergic to nickel
Allergic reactions may occur if the scanner mirror sleeve make
contact with the skin of patients who are allergic to nickel.
➢ In the case of patients with nickel allergies, ensure that the parts
of the mirror sleeve which may make contact are protected from
areas of skin.
