Sirona Schick WiFi Getting Started

Compliance and Safety
FCC Compliance Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the equipment.
The maximum wireless signal rate for the system is derived from IEEE Standard 802.11a/b/g
specifi cations. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors,
including the volume of network traffi c, building materials, and construction, and network overhead,
may lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely aff ect wireless signal
range.
Observe Proper Handling, Storage, and Disposal for Batteries
Schick WiFi Interfaces are equipped with disposable lithium ion batteries. Be sure to read and
understand the special instructions relating to battery usage and follow all of the guidelines for
usage, storage, and disposal. Improper use can result in serious injury, fi re, or death. Refer to the user
manual for complete details regarding battery usage
Do not short circuit, disassemble, or modify the batteries. Do not place them near high-temperature
locations. Do not place the batteries in fi re or apply heat to them. Do not subject the batteries to
strong impacts or shocks. Do not expose the batteries to water or allow them to get wet. A fi re
extinguisher must be used if a lithium ion battery is burning. Do not use water. Refer to the user
manual for complete details regarding battery usage.
Check Sensor Before Using It
Before each use, check the Sensor for any signs of physical damage or defect. If you are using a
recommended positioning system for Schick Sensors, such as the Schick WiFi Holder system, refer to
appropriate documentation for the proper use of sheaths, holders, and tabs before taking X-rays. This
information can be found in the holder system kits and on our website.
Radio Frequency (RF) Interference Considerations
Although the Schick WiFi System equipment is designed to provide a reasonable degree of
protection from electromagnetic interference according to International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) 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 the Schick WiFi system must
conform to Electromagnetic Compatibility regulations appropriate to this type of equipment.
Non-conforming equipment, with known poor immunity to electromagnetic fi elds, may not operate
properly unless they are installed at a distance of at least 10 feet (3m) and supplied by a dedicated
electric line.
Installers to Ensure that Schick WiFi System Operates Optimally
Installers must ensure that the Schick WiFi system provides the user with the optimal use of the
equipment. This includes, but is not limited to, ensuring that the system operates as described in
this document. Installers must also ensure that the system presents no physical obstacles or hazards
during operation and when not in use. To verify this requirement, installers shall confi rm that the
Schick WiFi system is installed as described in this User Guide and shall perform the appropriate
procedures therein.
Ensure Proper System and PC Workstation Installation and Operation
The Sensor and Schick WiFi Interface have been determined to be in accordance with international
safety standards and are deemed suitable for use within the patient area, which extends from the
patient for a distance of 5 ft (1.5m). To comply with these standards, do not operate non-medical
equipment (such as a PC workstation) inside the patient area. Outside the patient area, the presence
of approved non-medical grade equipment and Listed / Approved / IEC 60950-1 certifi ed Information
Technology Equipment (ITE) computer equipment is acceptable.
Recommended system requirements for the PC are: Windows 7, Vista, or XP operating systems, x32

or x64 editions, Pentium D processor or Intel Core2Duo processor, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB hard drive Raid
Level 1, Intel USB chipset with at least 2 powered USB 2.0 ports. A WiFi-compliant wireless router or
access point is required also, compatible with 802.11b/g
The host computer (PC workstation) should be CE-approved and conform with the Low Voltage
[73/23/EC] and EMC Directive [89/336/ERC]. Also, to help ensure optimal performance, verify that all
software programs residing on the workstation are virus-free and have been adequately tested so
they will not impact imaging applications after installation.
Only Dentists or Authorized Designees Permitted to Operate the System
To ensure the correct use of the Schick WiFi system in a clinical environment, for purposes that
correspond to its intended design and application, only dentists, or their designees, are authorized to
operate the system.
Operate the Schick WiFi System as Directed
Always use the Schick WiFi system in accordance with the directions and recommendations
contained in this User Guide. Do not attempt to modify the system or use it in confi gurations not
specifi ed or permitted in this document.
Protect Sensor from Potential ESD Damage
Like other electronic devices, your Sensor is susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD), particularly
when the device is used in or around carpeted areas or low-humidity environments. Sensor contacts
are exposed when replacing the CDR Elite Sensor cable, so it is especially important to protect it from
potential ESD damage. Touching a metal surface prior to installing the replaceable cable will reduce
the risk of damaging Sensor components by accidental static discharge. The use of anti-static fl oor
mats or fl oor treatments (for example Staticide 2005/2002) will also help eliminate static build-up in
your offi ce.
Do Not Use Snap-A-Ray Holders with Sensors
Any type of clamping holder, or equivalent instrument, can exert damaging pressure on the Sensor
case, including the material and components enclosed inside. This type of damage is not covered by
warranty.
Observe Proper Handling and Placement for Sensors
As with any dental device or instrument placed intraorally, proper care must be taken when using
Sensors to ensure they are handled and positioned properly. Practitioners should observe standard
guidelines, use recommended holders and other Sensor positioning elements, and follow accepted
clinical methods to make sure that the patient does not bite down on or damage the Sensor during
the X-ray examination.
Do Not Stack Schick WiFi Equipment or Connect it to Items that are Not Part of the System
The Schick WiFi system equipment should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment,
nor should other items be connected to it that are not part of the system. If adjacent or stacked use is
necessary, normal operation shall be observed and verifi ed in that confi guration.
Wait for Appropriate Prompts before Operating X-ray Source
To avoid exposing the patient to unnecessary X-rays, ensure that the CDR exam window viewbox
is fl ashing green (default color) in AutoTake mode, or that the message, "Waiting to take X-ray, " is
displayed before triggering the X-ray Source.
Always Use Sheaths with Schick WiFi Sensors
Use Schick Technologies sheaths every time the Sensor is used. Never use the Sensor without a
protective sheath. Never use a damaged sheath. Always dispose of the sheath after every patient.
Take Appropriate Precautions during X-ray Operation
Always observe the safety guidelines and precautions supplied with your X-ray generator and by
local regulatory authorities.
