Planmeca ProSensor 7
BEFORE EXPOSURE
User’s Manual
Bisecting angle technique (optional)
The patient holds the sensor in place with his finger. The
X-ray beam is directed perpendicularly towards an
imaginary line which bisects the angle between the film
plane and the long axis of the tooth.
The use of the plastic cover is not necessary because the
sensor can be sterilized with liquid. The sterilization must
be done after each patient.
NOTE Be very careful not to put excessive pressure on the
sensor. Do not place a clamp on the sensor. Do not
take occlusal exposures with the sensor, and advise
the user not to bite the sensor.
NOTE Never clamp the sensor package or cable with a
hemostat or an unmodified “Snap-a-ray” holder.
Make sure the Planmeca ProSensor system is ready for
the exposure and communicates with Romexis (refer to
section 6 “PLANMECA PROSENSOR CONTROLBOX
INDICATOR LIGHT” on page 5.
On how to place the sensor into the patient’s mouth refer
to the sensor holder manual supplied with Planmeca
ProSensor.
