KODAK 2100 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The KODAK 2100 Intraoral X-ray system is compliant with the requirements of the EEC and

international medical standards.

The KODAK 2100 unit has been designed to produce high-quality intraoral radiographies that:

• Reveal maximum details with the minimum dose to the patient.

• Show teeth and anatomic structures accurately with a minimum of distortion or

magnification.

• Have optimal density and contrast to maximize their use for the detection of dental

diseases.

The KODAK 2100 Intraoral X-ray system uses a high-frequency technology that allows:

• Reduced X-ray doses for patients because the KODAK 2100 unit emits fewer soft

rays absorbed by patients which are not used during image creation.

• Shorter exposure times which reduce the risk of motion blurr during exposure

The KODAK 2100 Intraoral X-ray system is equipped with a thermal safety system that prevents

the generator from overheating in case of intensive use. This prohibits any exposure as long as the

generator has not cooled down. The I01 error message appears on the display and an audible

beep is heard during the unit cooling period. The beep stops when the cooling period is over.

To obtain high-quality intraoral radiography with maximum details, you must be very careful when

performing the three steps of the radiography process:

• Positioning the patient, the X-ray generator, and the imaging system

• Setting the exposure parameters according to the imaging receptor used (film or

sensor)

• Processing the film (if a conventional film is used.)

General Overview

The KODAK 2100 Intraoral X-ray unit is composed of the following functional components

• A high-frequency X-ray generator which includes:

• A transformer and associated electronics, and an oil-bathed X-ray tube

• A beam-limiting device with the following characteristics:

- A radiation diameter of 6 cm (2.36 in.)

- A distance from the X-ray tube focal spot to skin of 20 cm (8 in.).

• An angle scale and a handle to facilitate positioning.

General Overview

2–2 KODAK 2100 SYSTEM OVERVIEW

• A wall framework which contains the:

• Main powerboard

• ON/OFF switch which contains a built-in LED.

• A control timer unit which:

• Performs exposure time selection and displays parameters (exposure time and

emitted dose).

• Performs a microprocessor self-test at every unit activation.

• Displays alarms in case of incorrect operation.

• Includes two exposure time modes. The digital mode corresponds to the range of

shortest exposure times that fit those needed for digital sensors.

• An extension arm and a scissor arm which is equipped with springs that ensure arm

stability.

The following figure illustrates the extension arm and the scissor arm.

Table 2 – 1 Extension arm types

• A rectangular collimator. Its various sizes adapt to films and RVG sensors. It is

recommended to use such a collimator if possible, in order to limit the radiation absorbed
by patients.
