As the operator, you should ensure the safety and reliability of your system by performing maintenance on it at regular inter-
vals (at least once annually) or having this work performed by your dental dealership.
12.1
Annual inspection performed by the operator or other authorized personnel
As the operator, you should ensure the safety and reliability of your system by performing maintenance on it at regular inter-
vals (at least once annually) or having this work performed by your dental dealership.
12.2
Maintenance performed by the service technician
In addition to the scheduled annual inspection by the user or persons contracted to perform this, a maintenance inspection
must be performed after 4, 7 10 and then every two yearsn.
12.3
Checking image quality
At regular intervals, however at least once a year, the user must evaluate the image quality.
For X-rays requiring developing of films, the increase in the kV/mA value pairs and the change in the density serve as the
evaluation criterion (for cephalometry, the increase in switching times as well).
If these evaluation criteria are fulfilled independently of the patient anatomy and of possible sources of error, such as devel-
oping of film or patient positioning, contact a service technician immediately in order to eliminate possible unit faults.
In addition it is necessary to observe country-specific requirements.
Furthermore, we would like to call your attention to the brochures of film manufacturers and also to our Quality Image Service.
For this, please contact your dental dealer or the manufacturer directly.
