Observe the following precautions to perform cleaning procedures and to provide proper hygiene within the patient area. • Before cleaning any part of the CDRPanX system, refer to the procedures in this document, or in the appropriate service guide, for proper turn off / power disconnection at the host panoramic machine.
Plastic covers can be wiped with a soft cloth and light detergent. • To disinfect CDRPanX parts and surfaces that are in contact with the patient, use a detergent (for example, one containing 2% solution of ammonia). The bite block (but not the chin rest and the low and high chin templates) can be steam-sterilized by autoclave at 250°F (121°C).
• Check that the labels are intact, readable, and adhere well to the surfaces on which they are positioned. • Check that all of the cables that connect equipment in the CDRPanX system are undamaged. • Check that there is no external damage to the CDRPanX equipment which could compromise its ability to operate safely and to provide the proper emission of X- rays.
