4 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
6 Planmeca ProMax 3D s & 3D Classic
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.
CAUTION
Do not modify the X-ray unit. The X-ray unit must be
serviced by qualified personnel only.
NOTE
Cone beam imaging should not be used for routine (or
screening) examinations. The imaging examinations must
be justified for each patient to demonstrate that the
benefits outweigh the risks.
NOTE
When it is likely that evaluation of soft tissues will be
required as part of the patient's radiological assessment,
conventional CT or MR medical imaging should be used
rather than CBCT.
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), switch the X-ray unit off and
disconnect the PCs from the mains during lightning
storms.
