2.5.1 Mains Isolation
Disconnection from the supply mains occurs at the input to the computer (PC or laptop). The DC-Air™ docking
station can also be disconnected from the computer.
2.5.2 X-Ray Protection
The rules of dental radiography still apply to digital X-ray systems. Please continue to use protection for your
patients. As a clinician, clear the immediate area when exposing the sensor.
2.5.3 Prevention of Cross-Contamination
To help prevent cross-contamination between patients, place a new hygienic sensor barrier on the sensor for
each new patient. The hygienic barrier must cover the sensor. For information about cleaning the sensor, refer
to section “5.2.1 Cleaning and Disinfection of DC-Air™ Sensor”.
2.5.4 Disposal Protocols
Dispose of sensor barriers and other consumable products following the normal dental office procedure for
biomedical waste. Improper disposal of biomedical waste can lead to the spread of illness or disease.
Properly dispose of the sensor and the docking station when they have reached their end of life. For
information, refer to the explanation of this symbol in “Appendix D: Symbols”.
2.5.5 Sensor Inspection
Always inspect the sensor and positioning devices for physical damage prior to every use. Do not use the sensor
if its housing has visible damage.
Remove sensor from service if damage to the housing is observed. Otherwise, exposure to
elevated surface temperature or improper functionality may result.
2.5.6 Termination of Operation
To terminate the operation of the DC-Air™ docking station, unplug its USB cable from the power source (PS
and laptop).
The operation of the DC-Air™ sensor cannot be terminated. Do not use the sensor in case you have any doubt
the sensor is not fully functional.
