inactive side:Use of the Appliance5active side:13 Image plateImage plates are toxic: for thisreason image plates must be placedin a light protection cover beforeplacing into the mouth of a patient.In the case of a patient swallowingan image plate or a part of one thena doctor must be consulted immediatelyand the image plate removed.If a patient damages a light protectioncover when biting on it, then themouth must be rinsed out thoroughlywith copious amounts of water.EN13.1 GeneralVistaScan should only be used in combinationwith PLUS image plates from Dürr Dental. Theuse of image plates from other manufacturerscould result in poorer image quality.Exposure of the image plate must always becarried out on the active side:active side:• the active side is light blue. This side is alsomarked with a positioning guide.inactive side:• the inactive side is black. This is printed withthe size, manufacturer´s information and theword "Back". Furthermore, the inactive sideis surrounded by a silver edge which makespositioning together with the light protectioncover into the patient's mouth easier. In onecorner there is a silver dot; this replaces theslight indentation found on conventional X-rayfilm. This dot should always be set in thedirection of the occlusal plane. This allowseasier orientation of the X-ray exposure. 19

13.2 Working with image platesImage plates must be visibly checked for signsof damage. Damaged image plates (e.g. a tornouter layer, or visible scratches, which will affectthe diagnostic assessment) must be replaced.• image plates are flexible like X-ray film.• do not bend or subject to pressure.• do not scratch or get dirty.• do not put in an autoclaveEN613.3 Storingimage plates• store image plates in a dark place.• do not store in hot or moist conditions.• store intraoral image plates in a light protectioncover of the appropriate size.• if an image plate is stored for longer than 24hours, then it should be erased again beforethe next X-ray exposure. See scetion 19.5• protect from direct sunlight and ultravioletbeams.• if stored in the X-ray room itself then theimage plates must be protected from preexposurecaused by X-ray radiation.720

18. X-rayObserve the notes on hygiene regulationsunder section 17. Cleaning andDisinfection.1218.1 Preparing to X-rayImage plates can be prematurelyexposed by natural X-ray radiation or bystray X-ray radiation.• The image plate should be erased beforeusing it for the first time or after storage ofmore than 24 hours. Refer to section 16.5Erasure of image data• Slide the image plate completely into the lightprotection cover. The black (inactive) side ofthe image plate must be visible.• Peel off the white sticky strip and press firmlyto close the opening of the light protectioncover.The light protection cover is adisposable article and must not bereused.EN13• The light protection cover must be disinfectedusing a disinfectant wipe before positioninginside the patient's mouth (e.g. with Dürr FD350). Alternatively, use a disinfectant spray(e.g. Dürr FD 322, FD 333) on a soft, fluff-freecloth instead of a disinfectant wipe.14 23

18.2 X-ray exposuresDanger of infection!When placing the image plate into thepatient's mouth always wear protectivegloves.ENThe image plates are marked with asymbol . The symbol is visible in theX-ray exposure, and makes orientationduring diagnosis easier.The image plate should be placed in thepatent's mouth so that the symbol willnot affect the diagnostic usefulness ofthe X-ray exposure.1516• Place the image plate inside the light protectioncover as normal into the patient's mouth.The silver point on the inactive side must facethe occlusal area. The active side of the imageplate must point in the direction of the X-raytube.Damage to the image plateOnly use handling systems which willnot cause any damage to either thelight protection cover or the imageplates. Handling systems whichhave sharp edges should be avoidedwhere possible. We strongly recommendusing the Dürr Dental imageplate and film handling system set,order number 2130-981-50; andDürr Dental image plate and film handlingupgrade set for endo-exposures,order number 2130-981-51.• Set exposure time and settings on the X-rayappliance.• Produce an X-ray exposure.The image data present on the imageplate must be processed and scannedwithin 30 minutes of exposure.24

18.3 Preparing to scan image data17Danger of infection!Wear protective gloves when removingimage plates from the patient's mouth.• Remove the image plate inside its light protectioncover from the patient's mouth.• If the light protection cover or the glovesare considerably dirty, e.g. from blood, thenbefore disinfection the cover must be given aquick dry clean, e.g. by wiping with a cleanpiece of lint.• Clean and disinfect the light protection coverand the gloves with a disinfectant wipe (e.g.Dürr Dental FD 350).Alternatively, use a disinfectant spray (e.g.Dürr FD 322, FD 333) on a soft, fluff-free clothinstead of a disinfectant wipe.• Lay the image plate down in the light protectioncover in the disinfectant wipe.• Take off the protective gloves, disinfect thehands (e.g. with Dürr Dental HD 410) andclean (e.g. with Dürr Dental HD 430, HD 435).ENDamage to the VistaScan MiniBefore handling the image plates,hands should be completely cleanand free of any traces of powderfrom protective gloves.This powder can damage the opticalscanning unit of VistaScan Miniduring the scanning procedure of theimage plate.18 25
