INTRODUCTION

1 INTRODUCTION

Settings

(Top left corner of main view)

This manual describes how to take 3D exposures. The manual applies to:

• Planmeca ProMax 3D s X-ray unit

• Planmeca ProMax 3D Classic X-ray unit

NOTE This manual is valid for software version 3.3.3.0.r or later. This software version is compatible with

Planmeca Romexis software version 3.5.0.r or later.

To check the software version of your X-ray unit, select

Settings > About > 4100 Component Information >

ProMax SW version.

The X-ray unit uses Cone Beam Computed Tomography

(CBCT) to produce three-dimensional (3D) X-ray images.

Panoramic, cephalometric and projection radiography techniques can be used for two-dimensional (2D) X-rays.

If the X-ray unit has a ProFace sensor, you can take a 3D photo of the patient’s face.

The X-ray images can be used for examination of dentomaxillofacial anatomy. The 3D face photo can be used for patient education or in order to follow the results of medical treatments.

You need a PC with the Planmeca Romexis program in order to save, view and modify the images.

Make sure that you are fully acquainted with the appropriate radiation protection measures and these instructions before you use the X-ray unit.

NOTE The X-ray unit may be used by health care professionals only.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

4 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION FOR US USERS:

Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a health care professional.

CAUTION This X-ray unit may be dangerous to both patient and operator unless safe exposure values are used and correct operating procedures are observed.

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 use.

If you have any reason to believe that the sensor might be faulty, take a test exposure before taking a patient exposure.

CAUTION If an exposure is interrupted (e.g. exposure button is released or emergency stop button activated), the patient must be guided away from the X-ray unit before the C-arm is moved.

CAUTION Do not connect items which are not specified as part of the system.

CAUTION Do not connect a multiple portable socket outlet (MPSO) or extension cord to the system.

CAUTION Do not touch an electrical connector and the patient at the same time.

CAUTION If the X-ray unit shows any signs of oil leakage, disconnect the unit from mains and contact your service technician for help.

CAUTION Do not use the X-ray unit in an oxygen rich environment or in the presence of flammable anesthetics.

CAUTION Never use a defective or damaged X-ray system. Contact your service technician for help.

NOTE It is very important that the place where the unit is to be used and the position from which the user is to operate the unit are correctly shielded. Since radiation safety requirements vary from country to country and state to state it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that all local safety requirements are met.

NOTE Cone beam imaging should not be used for routine (or screening) examinations. The imaging examinations must be justified for each patient to demonstrate that the benefits outweigh the risks.

NOTE When it is likely that evaluation of soft tissues will be required as part of the patient’s radiological assessment, conventional CT or MR medical imaging should be used rather than CBCT.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

NOTE Before taking an exposure, ask any female patient of childbearing age whether she might be pregnant. The

X-ray unit is not intended for use on pregnant women.

NOTE FOR CANADIAN USERS:

All patients must be provided with a shielded apron for gonad protection and a thyroid shield. The use of a thyroid shield is especially important in children. The shielded apron and thyroid shield should have a lead equivalence of at least 0.25 mm on both sides (front and back of the patient).

NOTE If the X-ray unit has been stored at temperatures under

+10°C for more than a few hours, time must be allowed for the unit to reach room temperature before turning it on.

NOTE Ensure efficient air conditioning in the X-ray room. It is recommended to keep the room temperature between

+20°C and +25°C at all times.

NOTE If exposures are taken in rapid succession the X-ray tube may overheat and a cooling time will flash on the touch screen. The cooling time indicates the delay before the next exposure can be taken.

NOTE If the X-ray system is not connected to an

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), disconnect the system from mains during lightning storms.

NOTE FOR US & CANADIAN USERS:

The patient positioning lights are class II laser products (21 CFR § 1040.10).

NOTE FOR EUROPEAN USERS:

The patient positioning lights are class 1 laser products (Standard IEC / EN 60825-1: 2007).

NOTE EMC requirements have to be considered, and the equipment must be installed and put into service according to the specific EMC information provided in the accompanying documents.

NOTE Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the X-ray unit.

NOTE External equipment intended for connection to signal input, signal output or other connectors, shall comply with relevant IEC standard (e.g. IEC 60950 for IT equipment and the IEC 60601 series for medical electrical equipment). In addition, all such combinations — systems — shall comply with the standard IEC 60601-1-1, Safety requirements for medical electrical systems. Equipment not complying to IEC 60601 shall be kept outside the patient area

(more than 2m (79 in.) from the X-ray unit).

Any person who connects external equipment to signal input, signal output or other connectors has formed a system and is therefore responsible for the system to comply with the requirements of IEC 60601-

1-1. If in doubt, contact your service technician or local representative for help.

NOTE Contact your service technician if you notice a decrease in image quality.

NOTE Contact your service technician if you have taken an exposure but the image does not appear in the

Planmeca Romexis program. The last ten images can be manually imported into Romexis.

NOTE Never place or hang any objects on any part of the Xray unit.

Adjusting volume position

The volume positions are preset at the factory for a standard patient. However, as all patients and their anatomical structures are different you have to check that the preset position covers the area of interest for this patient. If this is not the case, you have to adjust the volume position according to the patient’s anatomy. The positioning lights and the illustrations on the touch screen help you to do this.

NOTE The illustrations are for guidelines only.
