1. FOREWORD The hy-scan system is a system for acquiring and processing intraoral digital images that can be used with all intraoral X-ray systems. In order to manage the intraoral images, it is essential to use a personal computer and an image viewer program. The hy-scan system was developed to simplify the process of acquiring and viewing intraoral images on a digital screen.

2.10. PROTECTION AGAINST RADIATION The phosphor scanner and intraoral plates must be used together with an intraoral X-ray system. As such, the system exposes the patient and the operators to the risks deriving from radiation. It must be used in compliance with the safety regulations set out in the radiation protection standards in force in the country of use.
2.11. HYGIENE PROCEDURES FOR PATIENT PROTECTION Disposable hygienic protections are the main protection means against cross contamination between patients. In order to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases between patients, it is essential to always use disposable covers supplied with phosphor plates. Disposable hygienic protections must be stored in a dry and clean area and must not be exposed to direct sunlight or UV radiation.
3. DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT The product consists of the following components: Phosphor scanner. • Power supply. • Power cable. • USB cable. • USB key to install software, and electronic • user's manual. Phosphor plates. • Light covers. • Disposable infection control sheaths.

The scanner can be positioned in two different ways: horizontally, on a flat surface, for example on a table; • vertically, leaning against a wall, using the appropriate wall support. • Phosphor scanner in a vertical position, with wall Phosphor scanner on a horizontal surface. bracket.
4. SETTING UP THE DEVICE Some simple operations have to be performed before attempting to use the device for the first time: 1) Remove the system from the original packaging. The phosphor scanner can be placed on a horizontal surface or vertically, fixed to the wall by means of suitable support.
5. FUNCTIONING 5.1. PHOSPHOR PLATE PREPARATION The phosphor plate stores energy from the X-rays that strike it, and is able to return this energy as a result of laser excitation. Using the scanner, the re-emitted light is converted into an image. The phosphor plate has an active side (blue) and an inactive side (black).
5.2. PHOSPHOR PLATE EXPOSURE Place the phosphor plate in the patient's mouth, in the position required to obtain the required image. The rear part of the hygienic cover (the part with the seal) must be away from the X-ray source. It is recommended to use the optional centring devices - that can be purchased separately from your local distributor - to facilitate the positioning of the plate and...
EXPOSURE TIMES For RX DC X-ray units manufactured by Cefla S.C. it is recommended to use a sensitivity value equal to F15 with default pre-setting left at 8mA. Exposure times, kV and mA values will be automatically set according to the anatomical area selected on the X-ray unit by the operator.
5.3. PHOSPHOR PLATE READING In the extraction stages of the phosphor plate from light cover, do not expose the plate to light. After exposure of the plate, it is recommended to immediately proceed with its reading. Do not exceed 10 minutes of waiting time.

4. As soon as the plate stops and the green LED flashes, decrease the pressure of your fingers on the light cover and remove the latter, leaving only the plate inserted into the phosphor scanner slot. 5. At this point, the phosphor plate will be engaged by the magnetic drive system and will be automatically dragged inside the scanner for scanning.
5.4. LED SEQUENCE Through the software, the device can alert the operator about the different statuses of the system, such as errors, functions, or other. The different statuses of the system can also be identified through the front-mounted LEDs. The following table shows all situations that may occur during a normal work sequence.
