PLATE CARE & PREPARATION Prior to performing the intraoral imaging procedures provided on the following pages, the user must be familiar with the care, handling and preparation of the Phosphor Storage Plate (PSP) in order to ensure successful image scanning. Figure 5 shows the configuration of a typical Intraoral Size #2 PSP. Tube or Sensitive side Figure 5. Intraoral PSP Configuration Printed side Handle PSPs with Care. Avoid scratching or soiling PSPs. Do not bend PSPs or apply unnecessary pressure.
PLATE CARE & PREPARATION Cleaning Phosphor Storage Plates For the best images, PSPs should be handled carefully and kept clean. Use the following procedure to clean plates: 1. Use lint-free, 100% cotton gauze (not cotton balls). Gently wipe the cotton gauze over the dry Plate surface. Wipe back and forth and then in a circular motion. 2. To clean any remaining stains, dampen the gauze in denatured ethyl alcohol (1% denaturant) and wipe using the same motion as above. 3.
INTRAORAL IMAGING PROCEDURES Note: 1. The orientation letter “a”, printed on the PSP, may be used for reference as you would use the dot on an intraoral X-ray film. In addition, a backwards “a” (i.e. “a”), appearing in an image, is an indication that the image has been flipped. 2. If using holders with alligator clips, it is advisable to file down the points to avoid puncturing the Barrier Envelope. It is important to take care not to puncture the Barrier Envelope or damage the PSP.
INTRAORAL IMAGING PROCEDURES IMPORTANT: Be sure that the sensitive side of the PSP is facing down when it lands on the PSP Table Mat (See Figure 7, View C). If it is not sensitive side down, TURN IT OVER IMMEDIATELY. Failure to do so may result in erasure of the PSP. 3. Lay the PSP Table Mat on a flat surface near the ScanX as shown by Figure 7, View A. 4. As shown by Figure 7, View B, remove the exposed PSP from its washed and dried envelope as follows: a.
INTRAORAL IMAGING PROCEDURES IMPORTANT: Transfer the PSP from the PSP Table Mat to the Plate Guide slot quickly. Always keep the sensitive side away from any light source to minimize image loss. Activate Scanner Activate the ScanX by performing the following procedures. 1. Make sure the ScanX and computer components are correctly connected as shown in Figure 4. 2. Switch the scanner from Standby to ON by pressing the membrane READY switch ( ) located on the Keypad Control Panel on the top of the scanner.
INTRAORAL IMAGING PROCEDURES Scanning and Erasing Plates (continued) Note: Up to two PSPs can be processed simultaneously. One PSP can be inserted into each Plate Guide at a time as long as the corresponding track indicator light is illuminated green. The next PSP may be fed into a Plate Guide slot only after the corresponding track indicator LED changes from yellow to green. 5. Observe that a red glow emanates from the scanner exit slot. 6.
POWERING DOWN THE SYSTEM IMPORTANT: Never power down the system during a scanning session. 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 as follows: 1. Switch the ScanX from ON to Standby 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. 2.
MAINTENANCE Phosphor Storage Plates (PSPs). PSP's are subject to "wear" on the black side during normal handling and use. They can appear scratched, while the sensitive blue or white side remains relatively "smooth". This scratched look on the black side has absolutely no effect on the quality of the image and should be expected under normal conditions.
TROUBLESHOOTING Trouble 1. No power/ No green light on membrane switch Possible Cause Corrective Action • Not plugged in. • Check the line cord connection is firmly plugged in. • Make sure outlet is grounded and has power. • No power at Mains Outlet • The ScanX has not been turned on. • Defective power supply • Make sure that the rocker switch is set to ON (1). • Call your authorized Air Techniques dealer. 2. Green, Blue or • Defective light or circuitry. Yellow indicator light does not work.
TROUBLESHOOTING Trouble Possible Cause Corrective Action Image is too dark. • PSP has been overexposed • Use software to adjust brightness. If this is not possible, retake image with proper (lower) exposure and a newly erased PSP. 7. Image appears skewed on monitor. • PSP was fed skewed either behind or without a Plate Guide in place. • Verify that Plate Guide is in place and PSP is fed into slot or if a Size 4 PSP, it is fed in straight behind a Guide.
