Essential Performance

WARNING
No modification of this equipment is allowed.
The essential performance of the GXS-700 sensor system comprises:
The ability of the sensor to capture X-ray images suitable for
•
recognition of normal anatomical structures, dental pathologies,
and abnormal conditions, where inadequate images may result in
misdiagnosis, subjecting the patient to incorrect or unnecessary
dental procedures that would present an unacceptable risk to the
patient;
The ability of the sensor holder to align the sensor with the X-ray
•
source for imaging the desired anatomy, where inadequate
alignment may result in repeated X-ray exposures, subjecting the
patient to additional ionizing radiation that would present an
unacceptable risk to the patient;
The ability of the single use sensor sheaths must be used to isolate
•
the sensor from the patient, where cross-contamination would
present an unacceptable risk to the patient.
