INTRODUCTION The Planmeca ProOne X-ray unit produces digital X-ray images for the diagnosis of dentomaxillofacial anatomy. The unit is allowed to be used only under supervision of a dental/health care professional. This manual describes how to operate the Planmeca ProOne X-ray unit. Please read these instructions thoroughly before using the unit. You need a PC with the Planmeca Romexis/Dimaxis imaging software to save, view and modify the radiographs. The Romexis/Dimaxis software has a separate manual which should be used in conjunction with this manual. 0537
Planmeca ProOne X-ray unit fulfils the requirements of Directive 93/42/EEC (Class IIb).
CAUTION FOR US USERS: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a dentist. NOTE The X-ray unit’s software version is shown briefly on the control panel when the X-ray unit is switched on. This manual is valid for software version 1.7.0.0.r or later. This software version is compatible with Romexis software version 2.4.0.R or later and Dimaxis software version 4.5.0.0.r or later. The display values shown in this manual are only examples and should not be interpreted as recommended values unless otherwise stated. The Planmeca ProOne X-ray unit features preset exposure values for all imaging programs. The exposure values have been preset at the factory to automatically correspond with the selected patient size. However, the exposure values required to produce good X-ray images vary considerably according to the build and age of the patient. The preset exposure values are average values and they are only meant to guide the user. Users are encouraged to develop their own radiographic techniques based on these values. Make sure that you are fully acquainted with the appropriate radiation protection measures and these instructions before using the X-ray unit.
