• KODAK 2200 Intraoral X-ray System uses a high-frequency
technology that has several advantages:
• Shorter exposure times, reducing the risk of blur due to movement of
the patient or film during exposure.
• Reduction in x-ray dose to patients because the KODAK 2200
System emits fewer soft rays absorbed by patients that do not
contribute to the radiological picture.
• Choice of high voltage between 60 kV and 70 kV:
• 60 kV for high-contrast radiographs giving a clear image of the
endodontal instruments or clearly displaying tooth decay.
• 70 kV for better reproduction of levels of gray (soft tissue), useful for
periodontal work.
• A thermal safety system prevents the generator from overheating in case
of intensive use. This system can prohibit any exposure as long as the
generator did not cool down. A COOLING error message appears on
the display unit and an audible signal is emitted untill the cooling period
is over.
CAUTION
:
Do not turn off the system. If you turn off power, the microprocessor
does not calculate the cooling time, and for safety reasons considers that
the system has not gone into the cooling cycle.
• While the exposure is taken, the exposure time counts off on the control
unit display.
If the exposure is interrupted (such as by releasing the key), the audible
and visible manipulator alarm is activated and the remaining exposure
time is displayed. This information makes it easier to decide whether to
develop the film or to start another exposure. (If the remaining time is
short, you may develop the film.)
To stop the manipulator alarm, press any tooth selection or exposure
type (bitewing or occlusal).
• The system includes a self-test function that is activated when turning
the system on while simultaneously pressing the RVG key for a few
seconds.
The self-test checks:
• All the lights on the control unit.
• The audible alarm and display unit.
At the end of the self-test, the total number of exposures taken by this
unit since it was installed is displayed. A short beep indicates the test is
over.
At the end of the test, the systems returns to normal operation.
