INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how to take 3D exposures. The
manual applies to:
• Planmeca ProMax 3D Plus X-ray unit
• Planmeca ProMax 3D Mid X-ray unit
NOTE This manual is valid for software version 3.4.0.0.r or
later. This software version is compatible with
Planmeca Romexis software version 3.6.0.r or later.
To check the software version of your X-ray unit, select
Settings > About > 4100 Component Information >
ProMax SW version.
The X-ray unit uses Cone Beam Computed Tomography
(CBCT) to produce three-dimensional (3D) X-ray images.
Panoramic, cephalometric and projection radiography
techniques can be used for two-dimensional (2D) X-rays.
If the X-ray unit has a ProFace sensor, you can take a 3D
photo of the patient’s face.
The X-ray images can be used to examine:
• Dentomaxillofacial area
• Ear, nose and throat
• Cervical spine
• Other cranial anatomies
The 3D face photo can be used for patient education or in
order to follow the results of medical treatments.
You need a PC with the Planmeca Romexis program in
order to save, view and modify the images.
Make sure that you are fully acquainted with the
appropriate radiation protection measures and these
instructions before you use the X-ray unit.
NOTE The X-ray unit may be used by health care
professionals only.

warranty does not cover damage which is
due to misuse, e.g. dropping the sensor,
neglect, or any cause other than ordinary
use.
If you have any reason to believe that the
sensor might be faulty, take a test exposure
before taking a patient exposure.
CAUTION If an exposure is interrupted (e.g. exposure
button is released or emergency stop button
activated), the patient must be guided away
from the X-ray unit before the C-arm is
moved.
CAUTION Do not connect items which are not
specified as part of the system.
CAUTION Do not connect a multiple portable socket
outlet (MPSO) or extension cord to the
system.
CAUTION Do not touch an electrical connector and the
patient at the same time.
CAUTION If the X-ray unit shows any signs of oil
leakage, disconnect the unit from mains and
contact your service technician for help.
CAUTION Do not use the X-ray unit in an oxygen rich
environment or in the presence of flammable
anesthetics.
CAUTION Never use a defective or damaged X-ray
system. Contact your service technician for
help.
NOTE It is very important that the place where the unit is to
be used and the position from which the user is to
operate the unit are correctly shielded. Since radiation
safety requirements vary from country to country and
state to state it is the responsibility of the user to
ensure that all local safety requirements are met.
NOTE Cone beam imaging should not be used for routine (or

NOTE Before taking an exposure, ask any female patient of
childbearing age whether she might be pregnant. The
X-ray unit is not intended for use on pregnant women.
NOTE FOR CANADIAN USERS:
All patients must be provided with a shielded apron for
gonad protection and a thyroid shield. The use of a
thyroid shield is especially important in children. The
shielded apron and thyroid shield should have a lead
equivalence of at least 0.25 mm on both sides (front
and back of the patient).
NOTE If the X-ray unit has been stored at temperatures under
+10°C for more than a few hours, time must be allowed
for the unit to reach room temperature before turning
it on.
NOTE Ensure efficient air conditioning in the X-ray room. It is
recommended to keep the room temperature between
+20°C and +25°C at all times.
NOTE If exposures are taken in rapid succession the X-ray
tube may overheat and a cooling time will flash on the
touch screen. The cooling time indicates the delay
before the next exposure can be taken.
NOTE If the X-ray system is not connected to an
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), disconnect the
system from mains during lightning storms.
NOTE FOR US & CANADIAN USERS:
The patient positioning lights are class II laser
products (21 CFR § 1040.10).
NOTE FOR EUROPEAN USERS:
The patient positioning lights are class 1 laser
products (Standard IEC / EN 60825-1: 2007).
NOTE EMC requirements have to be considered, and the
equipment must be installed and put into service
according to the specific EMC information provided in
the accompanying documents.
NOTE Portable and mobile RF communications equipment
can affect the X-ray unit.
NOTE External equipment intended for connection to signal
input, signal output or other connectors, shall comply
with relevant IEC standard (e.g. IEC 60950 for IT
equipment and the IEC 60601 series for medical
electrical equipment). In addition, all such
combinations - systems - shall comply with the
standard IEC 60601-1-1, Safety requirements for
medical electrical systems. Equipment not complying
to IEC 60601 shall be kept outside the patient area
(more than 2m (79 in.) from the X-ray unit).
Any person who connects external equipment to
signal input, signal output or other connectors has
formed a system and is therefore responsible for the
system to comply with the requirements of IEC 606011-1. If in doubt, contact your service technician or local
representative for help.
NOTE Contact your service technician if you notice a
decrease in image quality.
NOTE Contact your service technician if you have taken an
exposure but the image does not appear in the
Planmeca Romexis program. The last ten images can
be manually imported into Romexis.
NOTE Never place or hang any objects on any part of the X-
ray unit.

Green lights flash on the exposure button and on the
touch screen when the X-ray system is getting ready for
an exposure. The green lights stop flashing and stay on
continuously when the X-ray system is ready for an
exposure.
During exposure yellow radiation warning lights illuminate
on the exposure switch and on the touch screen. They
indicate that the X-ray unit is generating radiation.

X-ray unit up / down
The X-ray unit up and down buttons are used to adjust the

The X-ray unit moves slowly at first, then faster.
NOTE If for some reason either of the buttons gets stuck
during operation, you can stop the up / down
movement by pressing any of the other control
buttons or the positioning joystick. This is a safety
measure that guarantees that the up / down movement
can be stopped in an emergency.
NOTE Be careful that the X-ray unit does not hit the ceiling
when you press the up button. The maximum height
can be adjusted to suit offices with low ceiling, contact
your service technician for help.
NOTE Make sure that there is no object under the telescopic
column when you press the down button. If something
is in danger of becoming trapped, release the button
immediately to stop the movement.
NOTE The column movement stops automatically if the
emergency stop plate at the bottom is pressed

NOTE When positioning wheelchair patients always first
move the X-ray unit down before you position the
patient in the unit.

Image volume up / down
Open / close temple supports
The positioning joystick is used for horizontal adjustment
of the image volume in 3D imaging. It is used when the
patient is positioned in the X-ray unit.
The image volume up and down buttons are used for
vertical adjustment of the image volume in 3D imaging.
The buttons are used when the patient is positioned in the
X-ray unit.
The X-ray unit moves slowly when you press the up /
down button. The height of the patient support table is not
changed, i.e. the patient remains in the same position.
Press the temple support button to open the temple
supports in 2D imaging. The temple supports can be
closed by pressing the temple support button again.
