Maintenance Procedures

The ScanX is designed for many years of trouble-free operation. Maintenance as

described herein is minimal.

IMPORTANT: Do not spray solvents or liquid directly on the scanner.

Cleaning the ScanX

Turn off the ScanX disconnect the line cord from the Mains wall outlet and dis-

connect the computer connection cable from the ScanX before cleaning. Wipe

the outside surfaces with a soft paper towel dampened with a disinfectant solu-

tion or non-abrasive household cleaner. Be careful not to allow solvents TO RUN

OR DRIP into the ScanX. This could cause damage to the ScanX. Allow to air dry

before plugging in or turning back on.

Note: ScanX Cleaning Sheets cannot be used on the ScanX

Intraoral

(P/N B7100) because of height limitations

Cleaning the Plate Transport

Over time, small debris and dust may accumulate in the plate transport mecha-

nism causing a loss in image quality and possible damage to the PSPs.

To ensure optimal performance of the ScanX

(P/N B7200) and the Ortho

ScanX

(P/N B7250), the plate transport should be cleaned once per week using

a new ScanX Cleaning Sheet each time. Sample sheets are included with the

ScanX and additional sheets can be purchased from your dealer. Refer to

ACCESSORIES page 27.

Disinfecting the ScanX

No disinfection is required for the ScanX.

Cleaning the Plate Guides

Wash the Plate Guides with a non-abrasive cleaner and water. Dry thoroughly.

IMPORTANT: Plate Guides must not be put in an autoclave.

Note: Always use standard infection control procedures when handling

devices that contact the patient.

Disinfecting the Plate Guides

There is no reason to routinely disinfect the Plate Guide unless contamination is sus-

pected. If a Plate Guide has touched a contaminated surface, it may be immersed

briefly in a cold sterilant according to sterilant manufacturers directions. After dis-

infection, clean and dry the Plate Guide using the instructions above.

POWERING DOWN THE SYSTEM

The ScanX is designed to be left on continuously during the active day. At the

end of the day, or whenever desired, power down the system simply by pressing

and holding the membrane READY switch ( ) on the Keypad Control Panel

for approximately two seconds, until the green LED above the READY switch

extinguishes.

IMPORTANT: Never power down the system during a

scanning session.
