CDR PlusWire User Guide
iv
Operate CDR PlusWire Sensors as Directed
Always use CDR PlusWire Sensors in accordance with the
directions and recommendations contained in this User Guide. Do
not attempt to modify CDR PlusWire Sensors or use them in system
configurations not specified in this document.
Observe Proper Handling and Placement for CDR PlusWire Sensors
As with any dental device or instrument placed intraorally, proper
care must be taken when using CDR PlusWire Sensors to ensure
they are handled and positioned properly. Practitioners should
observe standard guidelines, use recommended holders and other
Sensor positioning elements, and follow accepted clinical methods
to make sure that the patient does not bite down on or damage the
Sensor during the X-ray examination.
Before taking X-rays, refer to both the Sensor Care Guide and the
CDR Positioning System User Guide for guidelines on using Sensor
sheaths, holders, and tabs. Inspect the sheath after placing it on the
Sensor to verify proper fit and integrity. The CDR Positioning
System User Guide is distributed with Sensor Holder kits and is also
available on our website, www.schickbysirona.com.
Do Not Touch Exposed Connectors on Non-Medical Equipment and the
Patient at the Same Time
When the CDR PlusWire Sensor is in use, avoid touching exposed
connectors on non-medical electrical equipment and the patient at
the same time. The human body is capable of conducting electrical
current and may cause a shock hazard to patients if appropriate
safety practices are not observed.
Apply Recommended Procedures for Cleaning the Equipment
To ensure proper hygiene practices and to protect against infectious
disease, refer to the Protective Measures section of this document
and observe all device cleaning and patient protection
recommendations specified there. Following a regular schedule of
preventive maintenance will help ensure the safe and proper
operation of the equipment.
Do Not Connect Items that are Not Part of the System
Only items specified for use with CDR PlusWire 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.
