does not exceed the maximum length of the USB cable,
which is 8.9 ft. (2.7 m). The camera holster should also be
positioned so that the cable from the camera does not create
a tripping hazard. To install the holster, clean the mounting
surface, remove the backing from the double sided-tape on
the holster, then firmly press the holster against the
mounting surface. After approximately two hours, the
holster can be used to store the camera.
Intra-oral Camera Sheath
Refer to the intra-oral camera sheath instructions on the sheath box
for installation and replacement procedures.
To order more sheaths, please contact your local sales
representative.
WARNING
To help prevent cross-contamination between patients, place a
new hygienic sheath on the camera for each new patient.
CAUTION
The sheath must be removed after each patient. The intra-oral
camera must be cleaned and disinfected after each patient. After
cleaning the camera and handpiece, install a new camera
sheath.
Intra-oral camera sheaths are applied parts. After each
replacement, check the camera sheath for any tears or rips. Replace
any damaged sheaths before use.
Avoid contact between the camera sheath and any sharp objects,
such as the patient’s teeth, orthodontia, etc. If there is any form of
contact made, inspect the sheath for any tears or rips and replace it
if necessary.
The camera sheath is disposable and should be replaced before
each use of the camera. Dispose of sheaths following the normal
dental office procedure for biomedical waste.
The camera sheath is designed only for intra-oral use. If you use it
for taking extra-oral images, the images will not be clear as
compared to intra-oral use because the transparent film reflects
light and changes the focus.
