Color calibration
General information
NOTE
Always perform color calibration with window sleeve (standard
sleeve)
The scanner must always be color-calibrated with the window sleeve
(standard sleeve).
➢ Do not use the disposable sleeve or the autoclavable sleeve for
color calibration.
NOTE
Faulty color analysis
The color analysis can be negatively impacted due to strong light
incidence and it can lead to varying results.
➢ Set the scanner up so that it is not located directly in the beam
path of an extreme light source (e.g., the treatment light) and not
exposed to direct sunlight.
A color-calibrated scanner must be used for the color analysis.
NOTE
Observe color calibration
A color calibration may only be performed at least 20 minutes after
the system start/cleaning.
The color calibration must be performed regularly.
The scanner must be color calibrated every 2 weeks in order to carry
out a reliable color analysis. You will achieve the best results if the
scanner is color calibrated immediately before scanning a new case.
Carry out a color calibration also after changing a sleeve.
Heavily scratched sleeve window may not be used for a color analysis.
Storing a color-calibration set
The color-calibration set must be stored in its packaging in a dry place
which is protected from light. It must be used with a disinfected scanner
as the color-calibration set must itself not be disinfected. If dust
accumulates on the inside of the color-calibration set, it must be
carefully removed using compressed air.
