Introduction
You have just received your Visteo digital intra-oral radiology kit. We thank you for the confidence you
have in us and hope that this product will give you entire satisfaction.
We recommend you to read this manual thoroughly before installation; following the guidelines for
installation and usage described in it will exclude risks to the patient and the care team. Please keep it
close to your equipment so you can refer to it at a later date.
Your sensor uses an X-ray sensitive electronic detector (the flat part at the bottom of the sensor) that
replaces the conventional film used for the acquisition of radiological intra-oral images. The X-rays are
automatically detected by the sensor which triggers image acquisition. The acquired image is displayed
almost instantaneously on the screen of the computer to which the sensor is connected. These digital
images can then be manipulated, analysed, saved as files or printed.
The development process of conventional films is thus completely eliminated as well as the possible
influences on image quality; such as the type and age of the chemical product, the temperature of the
baths or the development time.
The sensor is available in two sizes; depending on the kit you have ordered you
received a size 1, a size 2 sensor or both:
•
The size 1 sensor allows you to acquire the majority of intra-oral images
(peri-apical and retro-coronary) both vertically and horizontally.
•
The size 2 sensor furthermore allows you to easily acquire horizontal
“bitewing” images.
The instructions and information in this manual refer to both sensor sizes, unless
specifically stated. The size of the sensor is marked on the sensor itself.
1.1 Compliance with standards
The Visteo kit is class IIA equipment within the meaning of the European Directive 93/42/CEE concerning
CE markings. The Visteo kit complies with the EN/IEC60601-1 medical standard.
Under certain conditions (see “1.3 Installation precautions”) it is necessary that the other components of
the system that are possibly connected (computer and optional peripherals) are also compliant to standard
IEC950 (EN60950) and that the installation complies with the EN/IEC60601-1 standard.
The intra-oral sensor is contained within a hermetic and sealed case (resistant to immersion).
There is no physical or electrical connection between the Visteo kit and the X-ray generator.
