FOCUS
1.1 FOCUS™ Intraoral X-ray
FOCUS (hereafter called "the unit") is a microprocessor
controlled intraoral x-ray unit with a HF DC generator. The
unit produces high quality dental images with film, imaging
plates or digital sensors.
The well-balanced support arm is easy to move and very
stable, keeping the unit motionless during the exposure.
The unit's proprietary design has the VHF DC generator
built into the horizontal part of the units support arm
enabling greater reliability and ease of installation and
service.
The VHF DC generator keeps the patient dose to the
minimum. The user friendly remote control features pre-
programmed
exposure selection quick and effortless. These settings can
be reprogrammed if needed.
Other user settings include selecting 60 or 70 kV, setting
exposure times between 0.02 and 3.2 seconds, and
pediatric or adult modes. Exposures can be made directly
from the remote control panel or with the optional remote
exposure button. With a choice of arm lengths and ability to
mechanically mount the unit in different configurations, the
unit is a fully customizable x-ray system.
