IEC 60364 - equipment is used according to the operating instructions. Planmeca pursues a policy of continual product development. Although every effort is made to produce up-to-date product documentation this publication should not be regarded as an infallible guide to current specifications. We reserve the right to make changes without prior notice.
The X-ray unit uses panoramic techniques to produce two-dimensional (2D) X-ray images for the examination of dentomaxillofacial anatomy. You need a PC with the Planmeca Romexis program in order to save, view and modify the images. Make sure that you are fully acquainted with the appropriate radiation protection measures and these instructions before you use the X-ray unit.
1 Introduction NOTE The User’s Manuals are available on Planmeca’s website. • For X-ray units, select Material bank > Manuals > Imaging. • For software products, select Material bank > Manuals > Software. 1.2 Symbols on product labels Fulfils the requirements of Directive 93/42/EEC.
The patient positioning lights are laser lights. Do not stare into the laser beam. CAUTION Do not drop the sensor. Planmeca limited warranty does not cover damage which is due to misuse, e.g. dropping the sensor, neglect, or any cause other than ordinary use.
