The User & Installation Guide for the KODAK RVG 6500 (with or without IPS) System includes
information on the installation of the device as well as its usage. We recommend that you thoroughly
familiarize yourself with this Guide in order to make the most effective use of your system.
The KODAK RVG 6500 (with or without IPS) System, wireless digital intra-oral X-ray system, is
intended to produce an image of the dental area at the direction of health care professionals of
dento- maxillo-facial region of the human anatomy.
The KODAK RVG 6500 IPS System, in addition, provides the Intelligent Positioning System (IPS) to
enable the dentist prior to acquisition to correctly align the X-ray beam to the RVG sensor.
WARNING: We recommend that you consult the “Safety,
Regulatory and the Technical Specification User Guide”
before using the KODAK RVG 6500 (with or without IPS)
Systems.

WiFi Access Point Functional Components Overview
The WiFi access point is the wireless equivalent of the wired internal Local Area Network (LAN). The
WiFi access point provides connectivity between the computer and the RVG sensor(s) enabling you to
use the KODAK RVG 6500 within your practice area. See the manufacturer guide for any detailed
information on the WiFi access point.

Make sure that your computer is compatible with the computer system requirements detailed in
KODAK RVG 6500 System_Regulatory User Guide (SM737), Chapter 3.
Important: It is MANDATORY to check that the computer system
configuration is compatible with the computer system requirements
for the KODAK RVG 6500 with or without IPS system software.
Important: The screen with the proper technical display
characteristics for visualization of radiological images will avoid any
diagnostic error.
General Software Overview
The KODAK RVG 6500 with or without IPS intraoral imaging system operates with the following
software:
•KODAK dental imaging software
•KODAK RVG 6500 systems software modules:
•RVG acquisition interface
•Intelligent Positioning System (IPS) interface (optional)
KODAK Dental Imaging Software
The KODAK dental imaging software is a user-friendly working interface that was designed and
developed specifically for radiological diagnosis. It is the common imaging platform for all our digital
systems for dentistry.
The KODAK dental imaging software has the following features:
•Patient record management using Patient Window features.
•Extraoral and intraoral image management using Imaging Window features.
Note: For a complete information on how to use the KODAK Dental
Imaging Software, click ? in the menu bar to access the online help, or see
The RVG Acquisition interface module is a user-friendly working interface that was designed and
developed specifically for the KODAK RVG 6500 with or without IPS intraoral imaging system.

The IPS aiming ring interface is a user-friendly working interfaces that was designed and developed
specifically for the KODAK RVG 6500 IPS System intraoral imaging system. It enables you prior to
acquisition to dynamically and visually center the x-ray beam to the RVG sensor using the centering
indicator.
IPS Aiming Ring Interface and RVG Sensor Display
The IPS aiming ring interface displays the RVG sensor according to where you are positioned, that is,
in front or behind the aiming ring. The operator where positioned (in front or behind) must always see
the LED (front or back) of the aiming ring ON. A quick push on the ON/OFF button will light the front
or the back LED.
• Operator is positioned
behind the aiming ring.
• Back LED is ON.
• Sensor active side is
displayed.
