5. Process the imaging plate.
See chapter 2.4 for more information.
Caution! Process unexposed imaging plates to erase
potentially accumulated background radiation when
• Taking new imaging plates into use.
• Imaging plates have been packaged and unused
for more than 24 hours.
• Imaging plates have stored in dark (not exposed to
ambient light) susceptible for background radiation
for more than 24 hours.
This will remove any potential fogging due to collected
natural background radiation.
8 Instrumentarium Dental 209638 rev 4
2.1 Preparing the imaging plates
Apply Instrumentarium Dental protective cover and
package the plates into the original Instrumentarium Dental
hygiene bag.
Seal the bag properly.
Observe the orientation of the plates, cover and the bag.
Active side of the imaging plate has a light blue color.
2 Basic use
Note! Keep the imaging plates packed max. 24 hours before using. Packaged plates accumulate radiation from the
background. Plates can be erased by reading the plate.

2 Basic use
2.2 Positioning and exposure
Position the imaging plate according to the anatomical
area of interest. Holders (petitioners) are recommended for
the best positioning accuracy. See the chapter 4.4 Holders,
for more information.
Apply X-ray according to the anatomical area of interest
and on the intraoral X-ray tube in use.
Find guidelines of exposure times in seconds for a
standard DC X-ray unit in the table below.
Correct exposure settings depend on the X-ray unit type in
use. For an AC-unit or for a low tube current (i.e. portable
X-ray) apply higher exposure times.
10 Instrumentarium Dental 209638 rev 4
