Wearing gloves, remove the imaging plate in the
barrier envelope from the patient's mouth. Wipe off
any excess saliva with a paper towel. Disinfect the
barrier envelope by dipping it into a cold sterilant
solution, if desired.
After each exposure, open the barrier envelope at
the "V" cut in the center of the packet, with a
steady pull, and let the plate fall into the transfer
container (Dark Box provided with the system).
