Intraoral X-ray
FOCUS (hereafter called “device”) is a microprocessor controlled intraoral X-ray device with a HF DC
generator. The device produces high quality dental images with film, imaging plates or digital sensors.
The well-balanced support arm is easy to move and very stable, keeping the device motionless during the
exposure. The proprietary design of the device has the VHF DC generator built into the horizontal part of the
support arm. This makes the device more reliabile and easier to install and service.
The VHF DC generator keeps the patient dose to the minimum. The user friendly remote control has
preprogrammed anatomical time settings, making the exposure selection quick and effortless. These
settings can be reprogrammed if needed.
Other user settings include selecting 60 or 70 kV, setting exposure times between 0.02 and 3.2 seconds,
and pediatric or adult modes. Exposures can be made directly from the remote control panel or with an
optional remote exposure button. With a choice of arm lengths and ability to mechanically mount the device
in different configurations, FOCUS is a fully customizable X-ray system.
As the manufacturer we strongly recommend that you read this manual before taking the device in use.
