Alerio Optima DC Scissor Arm X-Ray Machine

Direction to Use

Installation:

Select an Appropriate Location:

• Choose a well-ventilated area with sufficient space to accommodate the X-ray system and allow for safe operation.
• Ensure the location has access to electrical outlets and meets any regulatory requirements for radiation safety.

Unpack the Equipment:

• Carefully unpack the X-ray system and inspect all components for any signs of damage or missing parts.

Position the X-Ray System:

• Place the X-ray system in the chosen location, ensuring it is level and stable.

Connect to Power:

• Use appropriate electrical safety measures, such as grounding the equipment according to local regulations.

Check for Leaks:

• Verify that the X-ray system is leak-proof by inspecting its housing and components for any signs of damage or wear that could compromise radiation containment.
• Ensure all connections are secure and properly sealed to prevent radiation leakage.

Usage:

Power On the System:

• Switch on the X-ray system using the designated power button or switch.
• Allow the system to initialize and complete any self-check procedures before use.

Prepare the Patient:

• Position the patient in the dental chair or examination area according to the specific imaging requirements.
• Provide appropriate protective gear, such as lead aprons, to minimize radiation exposure.

Set Exposure Parameters:

• Adjust the X-ray exposure settings, including kV (kilovoltage) and mA (milliamperage), based on the type of imaging procedure and patient characteristics.

Position the X-Ray Sensor:

• Place the X-ray sensor or film holder in the patient’s mouth at the desired location for imaging.
• Ensure the sensor is properly aligned and stabilized to capture clear and accurate images.

Take the X-Ray Image:

• Activate the X-ray exposure using the control panel or interface provided by the X-ray system.
• Monitor the patient and ensure they remain still during the exposure to avoid motion artifacts.

Review and Interpret Images:

• Retrieve the captured X-ray image from the sensor or film and review it for diagnostic quality.
• Use imaging software or tools to enhance, annotate, and analyze the image as needed for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Follow Safety Protocols:

• Adhere to radiation safety protocols and guidelines to minimize radiation exposure to patients and operators.
• Implement appropriate infection control measures, such as disinfection of reusable components, to prevent cross-contamination.

Maintenance and Service:

• Establish a regular maintenance schedule for the X-ray system, including cleaning, calibration, and inspection of components.

• Training and Education:

• Provide comprehensive training to all personnel involved in operating the X-ray system, including dentists, dental assistants, and technicians.
• Stay updated on best practices, regulations, and advancements in dental radiography through ongoing education and professional development.
