Note to the User

WARNING

X-rays can be harmful and dangerous if not used properly. The
instructions and warnings contained in this guide must be therefore
carefully followed.

As a manufacturer of radiology units that conform to stringent radiological protection
standards in force throughout the world, we guarantee a maximum degree of protection against
radiation hazards. Nonetheless, you are handling a radiology unit specially designed to emit
x-ray doses in order to carry out a medical diagnosis.

The room in which your radiology Unit is to be installed must comply with all official
regulations applicable to protection against radiatio n. You must install your radiology unit in a
room protected against x-ray emission. This room must reduce to at least 12db the frequency
interferences of the 30MHz to 1GHz band.

Your local representative will assist you in the initial use of your radiology Unit and will
supply any relevant information you may require.

T o use and operate your pano ramic unit and your digital imaging software you must follow the
instructions contained in this guide.

Warning and Safety Instructions

When operating the Kodak 9000 3D unit, observe the following warning and safety
instructions:

DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
This is an electrical Unit. DO NOT expose it to water spray. Such action

may cause an electric shock or a malfunction of the Unit.

LASER WARNING
For maximum safety, advise the patient not to look at the beam.

Before turning on the beams, lower the Frankfurt plane beam to
the lowest level. While making adjustments, ensure that the beam is
not directed into the patient's eyes.

Warning and Safety Instructions

KODAK 9000 3D Extraoral Imaging System_User Guide (SM710)_Ed 01 1–3

WARNINGS:

• You are responsible for the operation and maintenance of this unit. Only legally
qualified persons can operate this unit. DO NOT open the cover of the unit.When
necessary, have a trained authorized service technician carry out inspection and
maintenance operations.

• Install this Unit in an x-ray room that complies with current installation
standards. From this location, you must be able to maintain visual or audio
communication with the patient and be able to access the Acquisition interface
module during exposure. This Unit must be permanently connected to the
ground with a fixed power supply cable.

• DO NOT place the PC and the peripheral equipment connected to it in the
immediate vicinity of the patient in the Unit. Leave at least 1.5 m distance
between the patient and the Unit. The PC and the peripheral equipment must
conform to the IEC60950 standard.

• See your computer installation guide for details of the data processing system,
PC and screen. Leave a sufficient amount of clear space around the CPU to
ensure that it is properly ventilated.

• To obtain maximum image quality and visual comfort, position the screen to
avoid direct light reflections from internal or external lighting.

• DO NOT operate the Unit if there is the threat of an earthquake. Following an
earthquake, ensure that the Unit is operating satisfactorily before using it again.
Failure to observe this precaution may expose patients to hazards.

• X-ray equipment is hazardous to patients and the operator if you do not observe
the exposure safety factors and operating instructions.

• DO NOT place objects within the field of operation of the Unit.

• The patient should wear a protective lead-lined shoulder apron, unless other

Radiation Protection Protocols apply locally.

• Disinfect any parts of the Unit that come into contact with the patient and the
operator after each patient has been exposed to x-rays.

• While adjusting the height of the Unit, ensure that the patient is kept clear of the
mechanism.

• When the Unit is not in use, ensure that the ON/OFF switch is set to OFF (O).

• If the Unit develops a fault, switch it to off (O), display an “Unserviceable” notice

and contact a service technician.

• To dispose of the Unit or its components, contact a service technician.

• Ask the patient to refrain from moving during the entire period of exposure.

• Ask the patient to remain still until the Unit arm has stopped moving and the

RESET movement has completed.

• DO NOT use this Unit in conjunction with oxygen-rich environments. This Unit
is not intended for use with flammable anesthetics or flammable agents.

with an alcohol-based non-corrosive product. Avoid using liquids
inside the Unit. Follow the alcohol-based product manufacturer
recommendations for safety precautions.

CAUTION

You can use the usual disinfectant products, but we recommend
that you protect the Unit from contamination by using barriers
available from dental distributors. Follow the disinfectant
product manufacturer recommendations for safety precautions.

X-Ray Generator Technical Specifications

The x-ray generator comprises the following:

• A transformer and an x-ray tube and their associated electronic components immersed in oil

• An aluminum filter, which enhances the quality of the beam and reduces the dose received by the patient

• A lead collimator, which limits the size of the beam at the image receiver unit

• A thermal cutout, which trips at an operating temperature between 63 to 70° C ( ± 5° C)

Measurement Conditions

kV Indirect on the peak kilovolt meter
mA Direct measurement in the circuit using an oscilloscope
Exposure time Measurement at 75% of the kV values with peak kilovolt meter
