Essential Performance
WARNING
No modification of this equipment is allowed.
The essential performance of the Gendex GXS-700 sensor system comprises:
•
The ability of the sensor to capture X-ray images suitable for recognition of
normal anatomical structures, dental pathologies, and abnormal conditions,
where inadequate images may result in misdiagnosis, subjecting the patient
to incorrect or unnecessary dental procedures that would present an
unacceptable risk to the patient;
•
The ability of the sensor holder to align the sensor with the X-ray source for
imaging the desired anatomy, where inadequate alignment may result in
repeated X-ray exposures, subjecting the patient to additional ionizing
radiation that would present an unacceptable risk to the patient;
•
The ability of the single use sensor sheaths must be used to isolate the
sensor from the patient, where cross-contamination would present an
unacceptable risk to the patient.
Intended Use of the Device
