See PDM system to determine the status of this document. Printed out: 2017-03-17 10:35:17
For more options and details of installing and
setting up the Scan eXam™ One system see
chapters 6 Installation of the imaging plate system
and 9 Technical specifications.
Apply protective cover and package the plates into
the original 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
NOTICE! 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.
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.
Unpack and process the imaging plates
immediately after unpacking.
NOTICE! Ambient light harms the image information when not protected by the protective cover.
Insert the imaging plate with the cover.
NOTICE! Do not partially slide the imaging
plate from the cover. You can place the
plate with cover and leave it to the plate carrier. Unit will not start the processing before
removing the cover.
The Scan eXam™ One setup options allow you to
configure the Scan eXam™ One to the user’s
clinical preferences.
From the imaging application software you are
using select unit Setup/Scanner page (for more
instruction on how to access setup page review
application software manual).
3 Advanced use
3.1.1Status
Shows the scanner type, firmware version and unit
serial number.
If Show Image Preview and Dental Chart is selected
a preview image with a dental chart for tooth
numbering appears before the image is saved.
3.1.3Using the dental chart
1.After an imaging plate has been processed a
window
2.opens that shows a preview image and a dental
chart.
Click the tooth / teeth on the chart that correspond to the tooth / teeth in the image. Tooth
numbers are assigned to the selected teeth.
The tools at the top of the window allow the image
to be manipulated.
3.Click OK to save the image and tooth numbers.
3.1.4Resolution
Super gives a pixel size of 30 μm. This results in
images with better resolution, but may require
longer exposure time to compensate.High
(recommended default) gives a pixel size of 60 μm.
This results in images with less noise especially if
short exposure times are used.
3.1.5Image Processing - Noise
Filtering
Noise filtering makes images smoother when they
are taken at short exposure times. There are two
options available: Classic mode offers traditional
noise filtering algorithms that has been applied to
all previous models of imaging plate systems.
The Progressive mode applies another algorithm
that reduces noise while efficiently retaining image
clarity. The progressive algorithm requires
appropriate exposure level for efficient
performance. Ensure that the exposure level
indicator is Ok.
3.1.6Retrieve last image
If the last image processed is not transferred to the
PC because of a network, communication, PC or
software failure, the last image processed can be
retrieved.
NOTICE! The LAST processed image can only be
retrieved if the unit is left on. If the unit is switched
off the image is lost.
1.To retrieve the last processed image:
1.Correct the problem that caused the communication failure. When the connection between the
unit and the PC is re-established the last processed image is automatically transferred to the
PC.
2.PC: If the image is not automatically transferred
to the PC, select the Setup > Scanner page from
the imaging application software your are using.
3.PC: In the Last Image field, click Retrieve now
to retrieve the last processed image.
NOTICE! If required you can select different parameters (e.g. resolution, show image preview
etc.) for the image to be retrieved.
4.PC: Click OK to close the Setup window. The last
processed image is transferred to the PC.
See chapter Installation for more information on
connecting the unit to a PC/LAN.

•After Plate insert: processing starts auto-
matically when it detects right way inserted
imaging plate in the plate carrier.
the imaging plate is ejected into the plate
collector after the imaging plate has been
processed.
•Leave in plate carrier: the imaging plate
remains in the plate carrier after the imaging
plate has been processed.
The Leave in plate carrier option is recommended for users who want to handle the
imaging plates with more care and reduce
wear and tear on them. This option extends
service life of the imaging plates and allows
greater hygiene standards to be observed.
3.4Power options

3.5Occlusal 4C projection imaging
(not included in delivery)
To change Occlusal 4C projection imaging settings
select from the imaging application software unit
Setup / Occlusal page.
Occlusal 4C projection image is formed from two
sequential size 3 plates. Image plates are
processed separately and then stitched together to
form a single Occlusal 4C projection image.
Following text shortly describe how Occlusal 4C
projection image is taken. For more information
refer to instructions supplied with the Occlusal 4C
kit.
1.Place two size 3 imaging plates into their corre-
giene bag into the patient’s mouth and take an
exposure.
5.Remove the sealed Occlusal 4C hygiene bag
from the patient’s mouth. Open it.
6.Remove each individual imaging plate from the
Occlusal 4C bite protector and process one at a
time.
7.Occlusal 4C image appear on the imaging
application software.
NOTICE! When you are in the Occlusal 4C mode it
is possible to temporarily override the mode and
process a single size 3 imaging plate. Insert the
size 3 imaging plate into the unit so that it can be
processed. When the insert second plate symbol
appears on the unit user interface press the start
key. This cancels the Occlusal 4C mode for this
operation and produce a single size 3 image.
Size 3 image mode from each size 3 plate allows
size 3 imaging plates to process as individual
imaging plates.
NOTICE! Due to Occlusal 4C projection imaging
geometry and imaging plate positioning, accurate
distance and angle measurements cannot be taken
from Occlusal 4C projection images.
NOTICE! USE ONLY GENUINE ACCESSORIES FROM
THE MANUFACTURER to ensure the optimal clinical
results, safe use of the system and long service life
for the imaging plates.
NOTICE! Never use hygiene accessories more than
once.
Practical, dedicated storage box keeps imaging
plates clean and ready for use by protecting the
plates from:
•Dust (which will be visible in the image)
•Airborne contamination
•Fogging caused by background radiation
(which may decrease image quality)
•Ultraviolet radiation (which is harmful for the
imaging plates)
Base part of the storage box is autoclavable at 121
°C
(250 F) or 134 °C (272 F). The top cover cannot be
autoclaved.
4.4Holders
It is recommended to use imaging plate holders to
ensure accurate patient positioning and
consistently good image quality. Problems caused
by manually positioning the imaging plate include:
•incorrect vertical alignment
•distortion
•cone cut off
•poor projection standardization
•inferior image quality
•contamination risk
Contact your distributor for more information on
imaging with plate holders.
4.5Occlusal projection imaging with
Occlusal 4C start-up kit and
accessories
The complete image is produced automatically from
two size 3 imaging plates. The plates are shielded
from biting damage with a rigid bite protector. For
more information see instructions provided with the
Occlusal 4C kit and on chapter Advanced use.
4.6Microfiber cloth
Imaging plate microfiber cloth is used for dry
cleaning of the imaging plates (comparable to
eyeglasses cleaning).
Imaging plate is a film-like thin, flexible and
wireless phosphorescent plate, which works as a
wireless receptor. Imaging plate is better than film
because:
•no need for film development chemicals and
darkroom.
•tolerates wider range of exposure values,
both overexposure and underexposure are
practically eliminated.
•All benefits of digital images.
Imaging plate sizes:
•0 child
•1 small adult
•2 large adult
•3 bitewing
•4C occlusion
The support base material is black plastic. On top of
the base material is blueish photo-stimulable layer
(does not contain any prosphor/phosphorus). On
top of the blueish material is a top coat protective
layer and the edges are closed with lacquer.
The phosphorescent side of the plate records and
stores the image. This side is sensitive and should
be protected against dust and dirt.
Visible light clears the image information from the
plate, so it must be protected from ambient light
between exposure and processing.
Even when packed properly, the image starts to
fade out slightly within time.
See PDM system to determine the status of this document. Printed out: 2017-03-17 10:35:17
The imaging plate is protected with a protective cover and a hygiene bag before the exposure. Protective cover and hygiene bag are protecting the plate
from:
•Ambient light
•Contamination
•Mechanical wearing
•Moisture
NOTICE! USE ONLY GENUINE, ORIGINAL HYGIENE
ACCESSORIES AND IMAGING PLATES DESIGNED
FOR THIS SYSTEM AND SUPPLIED BY AUTHORIZED
DISTRIBUTOR. The manufacturer of this system
will not be held responsible for any problems
caused by using accessories from other
manufacturers. PROPER USE OF ORIGINAL
HYGIENE ACCESSORIES ENSURES THE BEST
IMAGE QUALITY AND MAXIMUM SERVICE LIFE OF
THE IMAGING PLATES.
The packed imaging plate is positioned with a
holder in the patient’s mouth. The exposure is
made as with film. The hygiene bag should be
disinfected after exposure and disposed off after
single use.
1.Imaging plate is inserted together with the protective cover all the way into the plate slot.
2.Magnet on the plate carrier grabs the imaging
plate.
3.Processing starts automatically after you remove the protective cover.
1.Red laser light stimulates the sensitive surface
of the imaging plate.
2.Imaging plate glows blue light in relation to the
amount of X-ray information stored to the plate.
3.Glowing blue light is optically collected pixel by
pixel (line by line) and measured with extremely
sensitive photodetector.
4.Digital image is formed from the measured light
intensity variation.
After stimulating, imaging plate is exposed to
bright light, which clears the remaining image
information from the plate. The imaging plate is
dropped out of the unit.
X-ray exposures and processing are not aging the
imaging plate, so it is re-usable hundreds of times.
In practice, mechanical wearing limits the service
life of the plate.
However, it is not recommended to store prepacked plates more than 24 hours.
NOTICE! Imaging plates react sensitively to
natural background radiation, which may cause
“fogging” and lack of contrast on the image.
The X-ray dose of single intraoral imaging is
approximately the same as the dose one person
gets from natural background radiation during one
day.
Imaging plates may gather radiation also during
transportation from the manufacturer. Therefore it
is recommended to perform initial erasing for the
new plates. This means that all imaging plates
should be processed once prior to use.
Imaging plate system is formed of one or more PC
that connects the imaging plate scanner unit,
software, accessories and consumables.
Electronic equipment that does not fulfill medical
safety standards (office PC, network connecting
units etc.) must not be installed in the patient area.
The definition of the patient area is 1,5 m in
horizontal distance and 2.5 m in vertical distance to
the patient. The Scan eXam™ One meets safety
requirements of a medical electrical unit and it can
be installed also in the patient area.
6.1Positioning the unit
Position the unit on a stable flat surface so that any
potential vibrations do not degrade the image
quality. The unit must not be positioned so that it is
touching other equipment. It must not be placed on
top of or under other equipment.
Do not position the unit in direct sunlight or near
bright light. Sunlight or bright light must not be
allowed to shine directly on the unit door into which
the imaging plates are inserted.
Typical location for a scanner unit in a shared use
by multiple operators is somewhere in a common
space for all users having an easy access to.
If the X-ray images are being captured and images
scanned in a single location only (X-ray room or
single user environments) it is most convenient to
place the scanner unit near to the X-ray.
NOTICE! Always position the unit so that you can
easily detach the power supply (PSU) from supply
mains.
6.2Connecting the unit to a network
The unit can be connected directly to a single PC or
several PC using a wired local area network (LAN).
It is recommended to use a LAN in all installations.
Also any workstation used for managing an image
capture should be connected to a wired LAN.
It is recommended to have an internet connection
from the LAN. This makes registering potential
software license easier.
Connect the Ethernet cable from the unit to the
local area networking unit (router/switch). Consult
a computer network specialist to build up a local
area network if needed.
The unit can obtain an IP address automatically
(DHCP) or it can be set manually (static IP).
The unit will show its IP number during the boot up
sequence when powered on.
6.3Install the Application software
The imaging plate system is delivered with an
software required to operate the system. In a
functional system there are two main parts: a
server for storing the patient data and images and
client software for operating the system and the
units. Both parts can be on the same computer but
there must be only one computer acting as
database server in a network. If the imaging plate
system is operated and images are viewed from
multiple PC in a network install only the client
software on the remaining other PC. The PC that is
acting as a server must be powered at any times
the system is used on any of the PC.
In addition there can be a license server in the local
area network to manage software licenses for
multiple PC.
Turn the unit on by pressing the power ON/OFF
button before installing the software.
Insert the software installation media (DVD) and
launch the software installer if it does not start
automatically.
Read the software installation manual. Follow the
instructions of the installation wizard to complete
the software installation. Refer the software
installation manual for details.
6.4Accessing the unit from the
software
In order to operate the scanner unit from a PC the
software needs to access the desired scanner unit
in the network. There can be multiple scanners in
one network. When using multiple scanners each
unit can be assigned a unique call name by the user
to separate the scanners in the network. By default
the name of the scanner unit is “Scan eXam™
One”.
There are multiple ways of configuring the
connection between the scanner unit and the
operators software. The automatic connection is
based on automatically detecting the scanner in the
network. This is a preferred method.
6.4.1Direct connection method (uses

the patient and the PC is 2.5 m (6.5 ft).
7.1.1Improper use of the hygiene
accessories and imaging plates
Decreased contrast, shadows or shading,
ghost images…
Shows a “ghost image” (having shape of the plate
or other object). Plate not properly shielded from
light between exposure and process. Part of the
image erased by ambient light.
•Protective cover misused or not used at all.
•Hygiene bag not sealed properly.
•Improper, non-genuine hygiene accessories use.
7 Troubleshooting
•Improper storing of the imaging plates or
excessively high X-ray dose used.
•Imaging plate has been exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
•Imaging plate has collected background
radiation because:
- Plate has been stored near X-ray unit
- Plate has been stored in the bag or in
dark too long
•Use dedicated imaging plate storage box
to avoid these.
•Alternatively, perform initial erasing for
the plate(s) if they have been stored in
dark and/or near X-ray unit.
Too dark image. Some areas showing uniform
“black”. Decreased diagnostic value.
•Too long exposure time/too high X-ray
dose.
Too light, noisy image with decreased diagnostic
value. Showing only part of the image.
Showing wrong size of the image (Image smaller
than imaging plate).
1.Observe “Exposure level” indication on the application SW to see that the x-ray settings are
optimal.
2.Perform self quality control regularly according
instructions provided with quality control test
set SP00267
(Intra digi QC IEC phantom w. instructions).

a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast
and TV
broadcast cannot be predicated theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site
survey should be considered.
If the measured field strength in the location in which the eXam6 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the eXam6 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed,
additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting of relocating the
eXam6.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment and the eXam6.
The eXam6 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in
which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the
user of the eXam6 can help prevent electromagnetic interference by
maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment (transmitters) and the eXam6 as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
