Safety Issues
Equipment to be Operated and Serviced by Qualified Personnel Only
X-ray equipment produces ionizing radiation that may be harmful if not properly
regulated. It is therefore recommended that the equipment be operated by trained and
qualified personnel only, in accordance with all applicable local and federal regulations.
Only trained and qualified technicians are authorized to service this equipment. Power
supply lines must comply with safety legislation and have ground terminals for protective
earth connection. Always switch the equipment off and, if possible, disconnect it from
main power supply before cleaning the system.
Avoid Operating Equipment in the Presence of Interfering RF Devices and
Equipment
We recommend that you do not use the equipment in the presence of external
electromagnetic fields, even if compliant with specifications for electromagnetic
compatibility. Noise, generated by cellular phones, might interfere with the electronic
circuits of the system.
Apply Recommended Procedures for Cleaning the Equipment
Safe and proper operation of the equipment requires that a regular schedule of preventive
maintenance be followed. Refer to the Cleaning and Maintenance sections of this manual
for details.
Do Not Connect Items that are Not Part of the System
Only items specified for use with the equipment are to be connected to the system. The
equipment should not be used adjacent to other equipment that is not part of the system.
If, however, use with adjacent equipment is necessary, normal operation should be
observed and verified in that configuration.
Installers to Ensure that the iPan System Operates Optimally
Installers must ensure that the iPan system, when installed, provides the user with the
optimal use of the equipment. To verify this requirement, installers shall confirm that the
iPan system is installed as described in the Installation / Service Guide and shall perform
the appropriate procedures therein.
Take Appropriate Precautions during iPan Operation
Appropriate accessories, such as lead aprons, must be used, where necessary, to protect
the patient and the operator from radiation.
The iPan system has been determined to be in accordance with international safety
standards and is deemed suitable for use within the patient area, which extends from the
patient for a distance of 5 feet (1.5m). Outside the patient area, the presence of approved
non-medical grade equipment and Listed / Approved / Certified Information Technology
Equipment (ITE) computer equipment is acceptable.
Protecting iPan Equipment from RF Interference
Although the iPan equipment is designed to provide a reasonable degree of protection
from electromagnetic interference, according to IEC International regulations, it must be
installed at an adequate distance from electricity transformer rooms, static continuity
units, two-way amateur radios and cellular phones. To ensure proper operation, the latter
can be used only at a minimum distance of 5 feet (1.5m) from any part of the equipment.
Any instrumentation or equipment for professional use located near iPan must conform to
Electromagnetic Compatibility regulations. Non-conforming equipment, with known
poor immunity to electromagnetic fields, may not operate properly unless they are
installed at a distance of at least 10 feet (3m) and supplied by a dedicated electric line.
Preventive Maintenance
There are no customer-serviceable components in the iPan system. However, before
operating the system, customers shall check it for any signs of physical damage or defect.
If detected, contact your local distributor of Schick Technologies products for further
instructions.

humidity), this device may be susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Appropriate care and handling must be observed to avoid damage.
Green LED located on the iPan USB Interface. Displays status as Sensor
transmits images from the Sensor to the iPan Interface.
Orange LED located on the iPan USB Interface. Displays status as iPan
Interface transmits images from the iPan Interface to the host computer.
Indicates that the product complies with EC Directive 93/42/EEC concerning
Medical devices (European Community)
Indicates that the product conforms with UL Standard 60601-1 and is certified
to CAN.CSA C22.2 No.601.1

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
Background
The European Union’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (2002/96/EC) will
be implemented in member states starting August 13, 2005. This directive, which seeks to reduce
the waste of electrical and electronic equipment through re-use, recycling, and recovery, imposes
several requirements on producers. Schick Technologies and its Dealers are committed to
complying with the Directive.
WEEE Marking
All Schick products subject to the WEEE Directive and shipped starting August 13, 2005 will be
compliant with the WEEE marking requirements. These products will be identified with the
“crossed-out wheeled bin” WEEE symbol shown below, as defined in European Standard EN
50419, and in accordance with WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC.
This “crossed-out wheeled bin” symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that
this product must not be disposed of with other unsorted municipal waste. Instead, it is
user’s responsibility to dispose of EE waste equipment by handing it over to a designated
collection point for the reuse or recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
The separate collection and reuse or recycling of Electrical & Electronic waste
equipment will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a
manner that protects the environment and human health. For more information about
where you can drop off your waste equipment for recycling, please contact your local
officials.
Reporting
According to the WEEE Directive, Schick Technologies or its Dealers will ensure that
information needed to calculate the financial obligations with respect to EEE products will be
provided as required.
WEEE from Users other than Private Households
According to the WEEE Directive, Schick Technologies or its Dealers will fulfill its obligations
for the management of WEEE from users other than private households.
Furthermore, as required by the WEEE Directive, in order to enable the date upon which the
equipment was put on the market to be determined unequivocally, a mark on the equipment will
be placed to specify that the equipment was put on the market after August 13, 2005.
iPan User Guide B1051601 Rev. – vii
Information for Reuse Centers, Treatment and Recycling Facilities
After August 13, 2005, and as required by the WEEE Directive, Schick Technologies or its
Dealers will provide reuse, treatment, and recycling information for each type of new EEE put on
the market within one year of the date in which the equipment is put on the market.
Information will include the different EEE components and materials as well as the location of
substances in these items. The information will be provided as a printed document or in electronic
media (on CD-ROM or by web download, for example).
1. Overview
1.1 Scope
The iPan panoramic X-ray system is an electronic imaging system that integrates with
panoramic machines to acquire, display, store and print digital X-rays. Because of its
digital format, the X-ray image can be enhanced for more detail using tools available
with the software, archived for patient histories, and retrieved for tooth comparison.
1.2 Indications for Use
The iPan system, in conjunction with selected host panoramic machines, is indicated for
individuals requiring extraoral dental radiographic exams.
1.3 System Description
The iPan system consists of the following hardware: iPan Sensor , Codestrip, iPan USB
Interface (also referred to in text as the iPan Interface), iPan Power Supply, and
associated cables. A simplified diagram of the iPan system is provided below.

The iPan Sensor is made up of imaging and electronic assemblies, capable of detecting
the start of panoramic motion and initiating the image acquisition process. As the
panoramic X-ray source rotates in either scan direction, the Codestrip is read by the
encoder to provide relative motion information to the Sensor during image acquisition.
The iPan Power Supply, connected between the Sensor and the iPan USB Interface,
provides the power necessary to operate the Sensor.
The iPan system requires the following software and compatible operating systems:
− CDR DICOM for Windows or EagleSoft 11 software
− Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000
− iPan Interface Driver (provided with the iPan system)
