•
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 grey (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. The error message I 01 appears on the
display unit, a red LED lights up on the control unit, and an audible signal
is emitted until 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 the selection knob.
•
A self-test automatically activates when you turn on the unit.
The self-test checks the display, the alarm lights and all the systems.
If the self-test detects a problem, an error code is displayed.
When the test is completed, a short beep sounds and the display shows
the firmware version and the total number of exposures (divided by 10)
taken by this unit since it was installed.
