Please read this manual carefully before starting to use the device, paying particular attention

Intended Use of the Device

The GXS-700 is a USB-driven digital sensor which is intended to acquire dental
intraoral radiography images. The GXS-700 shall be operated by healthcare
professionals, who are educated and competent to perform the acquisition of dental
intraoral radiographs. The GXS-700 can be used either in combination with special
positioning devices to facilitate positioning and alignment with the X-ray beam, or it
may also be positioned by hand with the assistance of the patient.

Product Description

An X-ray image sensor (CMOS) is positioned in the patient's mouth just like intraoral
film. There is no electrical or physical connection between GXS-700 and the X-ray
generator. Images are automatically acquired when X-rays are present in a dose
which is perceptible to the sensor.
Digital X-ray images are quickly displayed on the screen. Images can be optimized for
viewing via imaging software, stored as image files, and printed out on a suitable
printer if desired. VixWin Platinum is one example of a dedicated software that
employs a number of utilities for optimizing viewing and printing of images.
The GXS-700 must be connected to a PC running on a Windows operating system
through the standard USB port (Universal Serial Bus). See the "System Configuration"
paragraph for details.
