Radiation protection
CAUTION
CAUTION!
Not for use on patients less than approximately 5 years old [~21 kg (46
lb) and 113 cm (44.5 in) standing height]
The valid radiation protection regulations and measures must be
observed. The statutory radiation protection equipment must be used. In
order to reduce radiation exposure, Dentsply Sirona recommends using
bismuth or lead shields or aprons, especially for pediatric patients.
During an exposure, the operator should move as far away from the X-ray
tube assembly as the coiled cable of the release button permits.
With the exception of the patient, no other persons without radiation
protection are allowed to stay in the room during an exposure. In
exceptional cases, a third person may provide assistance, but not the
practice staff. Visual contact with the patient and the unit must be
maintained throughout the entire exposure.
In case of malfunctions, cancel the exposure immediately by letting go of
the exposure release button.
