4 Imaging Software Overview

Computer System Requirements

This section specifies the minimum computer system requirements for KODAK RVG 6500 intraoral
imaging system software. If necessary you must update your computer system configuration.

The computer and its screen should ideally be situated in or close to the operating area, in the visual
field of the practitioner when he is with the patient. The visual access of the acquired image for the
patient encourages communication.

The KODAK RVG 6500 systems must run on a computer with a keyboard.

The KODAK RVG 6500 systems must run on a computer with a mouse equipped with a right and left
button and a mouse wheel.

• Place the WiFi access point in a visible and high location (not on the floor).

• Place the WiFi access point in a central location for a multiple access point transmission.

• Avoid any barriers along the line of transmission, for example, armored wall and door, cabinets,

effronteries and metal file cabinets.

• Install the WiFi access point at 1 meter distance from other appliances transmitting the same

frequency range.

• Install the WiFi access point away from electrical equipment that also generates interferences.

In this configuration, the transmission range between WiFi access point and:

• The RVG sensor is up to 10 meters.

• The computer is up to 10 meters.

9 Maintenance

This chapter describes the maintenance task that you need to perform regularly for your KODAK RVG
6500 system and the accessories.

Daily

The RVG Sensor

The RVG sensor is supplied in a non-sterile state. Single-use disposable protective hygienic sleeves
must cover the RVG sensor before placing it in the patient’s mouth. These sleeves are conform to the
ISO EN 10993.

To prevent cross-contamination, use a new hygienic barrier for each new patient and disinfect the RVG
sensor.

Cleaning and Disinfecting the RVG Sensor

You must first clean the RVG sensor before disinfecting it. To do so, follow these steps:

1 Remove the protective hygienic sleeves.

2 Remove debris or organic matter from the sensor surfaces with a disposable wipe or surface

brush.

3 Inspect the sensor for debris. Repeat cleaning if there is any debris left.

1 Clean and disinfect with disinfecting wipes.

If you choose disinfecting solutions, use disinfectant suitable for medical devices and composed
of Ethanol and/or Isopropanol, and/or Quaternary ammonium (follow the chemical manufacturer’s
instruction).

WARNING: Never place the sensor and/or control box in an autoclave
as this could result in serious damage to the sensor.

WARNING: You must first clean the RVG sensor before disinfecting it.
