Figure 5. Intraoral PSP Configuration

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.

Handle PSPs with Care.

 Avoid scratching or soiling PSPs.

 Do not bend PSPs or apply unnecessary pressure.

 Do not store PSPs in a hot or moist area.

 Protect the PSPs from direct sunlight and ultraviolet rays.

 Pick up the PSPs using two fingers around the edges to avoid unnecessary

contact with the plates.

CAUTION: Always use a Barrier Envelope for each Intraoral plate.

Exercise care in handling the plate so as not to scratch the

sensitive surface or nick the edges.

Plate Protection

When storing PSPs use the original box for Intraoral PSPs. Place the Intraoral PSP

covered with a Barrier Envelope with the sensitive (front) side of the PSP facing

down into this box for protection and safekeeping.

IMPORTANT: PSPs must always be erased prior to use.

Note: Use PSPs within 24 hours of last erasure. Repeat erasing process if

PSPs have been stored longer than 24 hours.

Erase the PSP

Each Intraoral PSP should be used (i.e. X-ray exposed and scanned) within 24

hours of erasure since natural radiation will add noise to the PSP. Erase PSPs by

simply using the ScanX In-Line Erase Feature. This can be accomplished using

one of two methods as follows:

Note: Both erasing methods will result in an erased PSP suitable for reuse.

The user will not observe any difference in ScanX operation when using

either method.

Method #1

Perform the Imaging Procedures for PSPs on page 20. Except when per-

forming step 4 of either Activate Scanner procedure, select the Erase option

from the installed authorized imaging software to activate the ScanX. This

method does not scan the plate and no image will be acquired.

Method #2.

Perform the normal Imaging Procedures for PSPs on page 20. This method

scans the plate and the imaging software may acquire a “junk image”

(scanned latent plate image) that should subsequently be deleted from the

imaging software (image folder).
