4 Safety Issues Electrical Concerns CDRPan conforms to national (U.S.) and international standards for electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety. A complete list of specifications can be found in Appendix A-1 of this document. Mechanical Considerations The Sensor package, the Remote Module, and the cables of the CDRPan system are mounted outside of the patient area to ensure patient safety and reliable equipment operation. Radiation Concerns No adjustments or alterations are made to the X-ray source of the panoramic equipment. RF Interference Considerations Although the CDRPan 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 CDRPan equipment 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) from CDRPan equipment and supplied by a dedicated electric line. ii B Rev. B CDRPan User Guide

5 1. Introduction 1.1. Welcome The CDR Panoramic X-ray System ( CDRPan ) 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 can be enhanced for more detail using CDR tools, and it can be archived for patient histories and retrieved for comparisons CDRPan System The CDRPan system consists of the following hardware: CDRPan Sensor, Codestrip, Remote Module, Power Supply, PCI Board, and other attaching parts and accessories. The CDRPan system requires the following software: CDR DICOM software CDRPan installation disk, which includes the CDRPan PCI board device driver 1.3. Installing the CDRPan System This User Guide is one of two documents you will need to install the CDRPan system completely. Before performing the procedures in this document, you should complete the steps in the Installation Guide for your panoramic machine. Table 1 provides a list of procedures and the document where they are covered in detail. All of the procedures for installing CDRPan hardware may be found in your Installation Guide.

18 3. Operation 3.1. Introduction The CDRPan System is designed to fit seamlessly into the normal operation of panoramic equipment. CDRPan s hardware components are simple to install and the software interface is easy to learn and use with all X-ray procedures. For operators this means quick setups with no significant changes to their routines for taking panoramic X-rays General Operating Instructions Follow the steps listed below as a general guide when using CDRPan to acquire X-ray images. For setup and patient positioning information on specific panoramic machines, refer to that product documentation. 1. CDRPan Setup Ensure CDRPan PCI board and driver, CDR DICOM software, Sensor, and Codestrip are installed. Ensure the computer is on and the Remote Module is receiving power (Green LED on Remote Module is illuminated, as described in Section 3.5). Refer to Section 3.3 and perform Steps 1 through 3 to ensure CDR DICOM software is running normally and is ready to acquire X-ray images. 2. Panoramic Equipment Setup Turn on the panoramic equipment normally. Select the appropriate X-ray exposure value. Refer to Section 3.3 and perform Steps 4 through 7 to take the X-ray and review the X-ray image on the computer. (When image data is being transferred from the Remote Module to the PC, the Yellow LED on the Remote Module will remain solid, as described in Section 3.5.) 14 B Rev. B CDRPan User Guide

19 3.3. Acquiring Panoramic Images Perform the following steps to acquire panoramic X-ray images. 1. Turn on the computer and wait for the Windows desktop to display. Launch the CDR DICOM program from the Start button at the Windows desktop. 2. When the exam window appears, click File > New Exam or just click the New Exam button on the toolbar. 3. If there are already exams for the patient, click the List button to retrieve that information, or enter patient data in the spaces provided. Click on Panoramic Series and select a panoramic viewset. 4. (Manual mode) Take an X-ray image by clicking once on the target frame or by pressing either the Insert or Enter keys. Activate the X-ray source when the message Waiting to take X-ray appears. 5. (AutoTake mode) If you ve turned on the AutoTake feature, the target frame will be flashing green (default setting) when the system is ready. Activate the X-ray source. The message Reading image from Sensor is displayed momentarily. 6. The image appears inside the zoom window for review, editing, and printing. For a complete discussion of features available in the zoom window, refer to the CDR DICOM User Guide, which is available on our website. 7. When the image is accepted, the exam window appears with the image displayed inside the target frame. CDRPan User Guide B Rev. B 15

22 4. Cleaning and Maintenance 4.1. Sensor The CDRPan Sensors cannot be autoclaved. To clean and disinfect the Sensor, use a clean lint-free cloth and a small amount of alcohol or similar sterile solution. Do not soak the Sensor and be sure to dry it completely before usage. If the Sensor is not in use and has been disconnected from the Remote Module, be sure to store it in a safe place and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures. Do not apply excessive pressure to the Sensor and be careful to avoid damaging or nicking the Sensor cable when handling it Remote Module To clean and disinfect the Remote Module, use a clean lint-free cloth and a small amount of alcohol. Although the Remote Module is enclosed to protect its components, it is not watertight, so be sure to use only enough solution to clean the unit safely. 18 B Rev. B CDRPan User Guide

Radiated RF IEC V/m 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz Recommended separation distance: d= 1.2 P 3 V/m d= 1.2 P for 80 MHz to 800Mhz d= 2.3 P for 800 MHz to 2.5Ghz Where P is the maximum output rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation in meters (m). Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, a should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range. b Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol. NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies. NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the CDRPan system is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance above, the CDRPan system should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the CDRPan system. b Over the frequency range 150 khz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m 22 B Rev.
