INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The Planmeca ProMax 3D s / 3D X-ray unit uses cone beam volumetric tomography produce three- dimensional X-ray images. Panoramic and cephalometric techniques are used for two-dimensional X-rays. The images can be used for examination of dentomaxillofacial anatomy. The X-ray unit is allowed to be used only under supervision of a health care professional.
These manuals are intended to be used in conjunction with the documentation for the Planmeca Romexis imaging program. The imaging program package contains the following manuals: - User’s Manual - Installation Manual 2 Planmeca ProMax 3D s / 3D User’s Manual (3D)
CAUTION 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 application.
