Any instrumentation or equipment for professional use located near the
sensor must conform to Electromagnetic Compatibility regulations, to
which the EMC tables in this document serve as guidance. Non-
conforming equipment, with known poor immunity to electromagnetic
fields, may not operate properly unless they are installed at a distance
of at least 10 feet (3m) and supplied by a dedicated electrical line.
2.10.4
Apply Recommended Procedures for Cleaning
Safe and proper operation of the equipment requires following a regular
schedule of preventive maintenance. To help ensure proper hygiene
and to protect against infectious disease, refer to the Hygiene section
and observe all device cleaning and patient protection
recommendations specified there.
Although water-resistant, the sensor should never be soaked or
submerged in disinfecting solution during any cleaning procedure.
Failure to comply with this precaution may cause liquid to enter the
sensor and can prevent it from operating properly.
2.10.5
Do Not Connect Items that are Not Part of the System
Only items specified for use with the sensor are to be connected to it.
The device should not be used adjacent to other equipment that is not
part of the system. If, however, use with adjacent equipment is
necessary, normal operation should be observed and verified in that
configuration.
2.10.6
Ensure Proper System and PC Workstation Installation
and Operation
The sensor has been determined to be in accordance with international
safety standards and is deemed suitable for use within the patient area,
which extends from the patient for a distance of 5 ft (1.5m). To comply
with these standards, do not operate non-medical equipment (such as a
PC workstation) inside the patient area. Outside the patient area, the
presence of approved non-medical grade equipment and Listed /
Approved / IEC 60950-1 certified Information Technology Equipment
(ITE) computer equipment is acceptable.
The host computer (PC workstation) should be CE-approved and
conform with the Low Voltage [73/23/EC] and EMC Directive [89/336/
ERC]. Also, to help ensure optimal performance, ensure that all
software programs residing on the workstation are virus-free and have
been adequately tested so they will not impact imaging applications
after installation.
2.10.7
Only Dentists or Authorized Designees Are Permitted to
Operate the System
To ensure the correct use of the sensor in a clinical environment, for
purposes that correspond to its intended design and application, only
dentists, or their designees, are authorized to operate the system.
2.10.8
Protect Sensor from Potential ESD Damage
Like other electronic devices, the sensor is susceptible to electrostatic
discharge (ESD), particularly when the device is used in or around
