Intended Use of the Device

The GXS-700 is a USB-driven digital sensor which is intended to acquire patient
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. Specific educational requirements
are determined by state and/or national regulatory agencies. 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.

Proficiency with the GXS-700

Please become acquainted with your GXS-700 sensor. The sensor is your tool.
Learn to use it well and it will become an effective aid in your diagnosis,
treatment and treatment planning process. Visual impairment is permissible so
long as the user can resolve the necessary details of the accompanying
documentation, user interface and image data. Use of corrective measures
such as glasses or contact lenses is permissible. Audio impairment is
permissible so long as the user can discern audio indications emitted by other
associated equipment, such as the exposure buzzer that sounds while X-rays
are being emitted, or, in the case of deafness, so long as such audio indications
are supplemented by corresponding visual indications. Use of corrective
measures such as hearing aids is permitted.
As with all new clinical tools, it is necessary to invest a certain amount of time
for practice in order to become proficient with the sensor.
