Optical impressions with the scanner
CAUTION
Hot tip of the scanner sleeve!
The tip of the scanner sleeve is continuously heated up! The surface
temperature of the sleeve may be as high as 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. The temperature sensitivity in the mouth is
considerably lower than it is on other surfaces of the skin. The
scanner does not produce any pressure on the mucosa of the mouth.
Temperatures up to 51°C must therefore be classified as being non-
critical for the patient.
The scanner is therefore suitable for use in the patient's mouth for an
unlimited period of time.
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 scanner 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 while using the scanner.
WARNING
Risk of injury for those diagnosed with epilepsy
For persons who have been diagnosed with epilepsy, there is a risk of
epileptic shock through the flashing light of the scanner.
➢ Patients who have been diagnosed with epilepsy cannot be
treated with the scanner.
➢ Dentists and dental assistants who have been diagnosed with
epilepsy cannot work with the scanner.
