Safety Issues

Electrical Concerns

CDRPan conforms to national (U.S.) and international standards for electromagneticcompatibility and electrical safety. A complete list of specifications can be found in theCDRPan User’s Guide.

Mechanical Considerations

The sensor package, the remote module, and the cables of the CDRPan system aremounted outside of the patient area to ensure patient safety and reliable equipmentoperation.

Radiation Concerns

No adjustments or alterations are made to the X-ray source of the panoramic equipment.

GX-Pan Installation B1051107 Rev. – 1

1. Introduction

1.1 Welcome

The CDR Panoramic X-ray System (“CDRPan”) is an electronic imaging system thatintegrates with panoramic machines to acquire, display, store and print digital X-rays.Because of its digital format, the X-ray can be enhanced for more detail using CDR tools,and it can be archived for patient histories and retrieved for comparisons.

1.2 CDRPan System

The CDRPan system hardware consists of the following components (unless otherwiseindicated, all part numbers (P/Ns) refer to Schick Technologies numbers):

• CDRPan kit for Gendex GX-Pan (P/N B4772050), which includes the sensor,codestrip, other attaching parts, and accessories

• Remote module (P/N B4750100)• Power supply (P/N A3302300)• PCI board (P/N B3301100) and cable (B2211001).

The CDRPan system requires the following software:

• CDR software (version 2.1 or higher)• CDRPan software, which includes the PCI board device driver and the series

set to be used with panoramic exams

1.3 Overview for Installing CDRPan

This Installation Manual is one of two documents you will need to install the CDRPansystem completely. After performing the installation procedures in this document, youshould refer to the CDRPan User’s Guide (P/N B1051008) to continue installing otherparts of CDRPan system and to operate it. Procedures for installing CDRPan systemhardware and software can be found in the following documents.

1.4 Before You Start Installing CDRPan

Prior to installing CDRPan on your panoramic system, please perform the followingchecks.

Make sure your panoramic system is operating properly.

Familiarize yourself with the installation steps before performing them.

Determine the location of your computer. This will be useful when you install theRemote Module and need to run cables between it and your computer.

2.2 Tools and Materials

To install the sensor and codestrip, you will need the following tools and materials.

A. Allen wrench (hex key) to remove patient alignment adjustment knob and tightenreplacement knob in position.

B. Allen wrench (hex key, 3/32 in.) to adjust clearance between encoder and codestrip.

C. Screwdriver to remove bar from drum velcro area.

D. Fine-point marker or pencil to draw guideline for codestrip.

3. Sensor and Codestrip

3.1 Remove and Replace Adjustment Knob

A. Locate the patient alignment adjustment knob near the chin rest area. Using allenwrench, loosen and then remove the knob.

ADJUSTMENTKNOB

GX-Pan Installation B1051107 Rev. – 9

B. Use the new adjustment knob provided with your CDRPan system and secure it inposition with the allen wrench. This replacement knob has a smaller diameter toensure that the drum can travel without interference once the sensor assembly isinstalled.

3.2 Remove Bar from Velcro Area

Remove the vertical aluminum bar located at the center of the drum velcro area.

GX-Pan Installation B1051107 Rev. – 11

3.3 Install Sensor Assembly and Sensor Clip

A. Rotate the drum away from the faceplate aperture.

B. Carefully slide the sensor assembly into the aperture until the upper guide is seatedfirmly at the top of the aperture slit and the lower guide fits in the bottom of theaperture.

C. Install the sensor clip at the bottom of the faceplate

D. When the sensor clip is positioned, verify that the sensor assembly is locatedcorrectly, with the motion encoder facing towards the drum. Secure the clip in placeusing a Phillips screwdriver to tighten 2 screws.

GX-Pan Installation B1051107 Rev. – 13

3.4 Route Sensor Cable

A. Use cable clamp to secure sensor cable inside the faceplate. Continue attachingclamps and holders to feed cable along contours of the panoramic machine.

B1051107 Rev. – GX-Pan Installation14

B. Route cable to the top of the panoramic machine, following the edge nearest thecontrol panel.

GX-Pan Installation B1051107 Rev. – 15

3.5 Check Sensor Cable Run

Swivel the arm of the panoramic machine to ensure there is enough slack in the cable forthe rotation arm to move freely. Adjust cable if necessary.

B1051107 Rev. – GX-Pan Installation16

3.6 Prepare to Install Codestrip

A. Sight the encoder from the edge of the faceplate, and then mark that spot using a fine-point marker or pen.

B. Rotate the drum, marking a straight line around it. This line will be used for aligningand mounting the codestrip.

GX-Pan Installation B1051107 Rev. – 17

3.7 Install Codestrip

A. Position the codestrip along the guideline drawn in the step above.

B. Remove protective layer from mounting tape and apply the codestrip with adhesiveside towards drum. Ensure there are NO kinks or bubbles when the codestrip isapplied. Installing the codestrip unevenly or without optimal contact with thefaceplate may cause motion artifacts in images.

B1051107 Rev. – GX-Pan Installation18

3.8 Clearance Adjustments

A. With X-ray source off, move the rotating arm of the panoramic machine to verify thatthe bottom of the sensor assembly clears all of the patient alignment supports.

B. Also verify that the sensor cable does not kink, bind, or pull out of clips when therotating arm is in motion.
