applicable safety standards. Refer to “Appendix B: Specifications and Standards” and “Appendix C: EMC

Information“ for more information.

2.3.1 PC (Windows)

The supported operating system is Windows 7 and 10. The absolute minimum requirements for PC hardware

for the sensor and software combination would be an Intel i5 6

Generation processor or equivalent. At least

4 GB of RAM, 100GB of hard drive space to accommodate a) the software, b) the space necessary for the

repository of images generated by DC-Air backup, and c) for logging of errors and messages should be available.

The PC should have a USB 2.0 Port. Finally, the PC must meet all requirements (if in excess of the above) of the

used third-party Practice Management Software (PMS) or Imaging Software, if installed on the same PC.

2.4 Conformance to Standards

All X-ray equipment for dental intra-oral radiography used with the DC-Air™ sensor system must conform to

requirements of standard IEC 60601-2-65.

The DC-Air™ sensor and the DC-Air™ docking station conform to safety requirements in standard IEC 60601-1.

The power supply of any IT components electrically connected to the DC-Air™ sensor system must use an

IEC/UL 60950-1/62368-1 CAT II approved power supply.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)

This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired operation.

US Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a dentist or other licensed practitioner.

2.5 Safety Considerations

All external surfaces of the DC-Air™ sensor, sensor holders, and the sensor barriers are considered to be applied

parts and are safe for normal or accidental patient contact during use.

Serviceable parts of the DC-Air™ sensor include the battery of the sensor. Battery is changeable only by service

personnel. Do not try to open the device to service it. All aspects of the sensor that are meant to be attended

to by the operator are accessible without opening the internal components of the device. If there is a service

problem, contact a qualified dealer service representative or the DC-Air™ Technical Support.
