After Exposure
1. Carefully remove the sensor from the oral cavity following the exposure.
2. Grasp the sensor and positioning device and remove the sensor from
under the retaining clips.
3. If needed, remove and properly dispose of sensor sheath.
4. If needed, grasp the USB connector and pull it straight out of the port on
the computer.

Cable Protection
Depending on the holder type, there are cable grooves to help guide and
protect the cable out of the oral cavity. Place the sensor cable into this
groove and use the Aiming Bar Cable Clips for protection. This works well
when the sensor is placed into the holder and then the entire assembly is
sleeved.
On those occasions where it is necessary to sleeve the sensor before plac-
ing in the holder, due to the thickness of the barrier, the cable may not stay
in the groove. In this case, verify that the cable is adjacent to the holder,
either to the side that is to the anterior or posterior of the holder. Since the
holder will not allow for full closure, the cable is protected. Again, please
verify that the cable is not between the holder and the teeth as it may be-
come crimped upon the patient closing.
We highly recommend the use of the DEXIS Titanium sensor holders as
they are designed to protect the sensor and cable. However, if you choose
not to use these holders, you must take steps to protect the sensor and the
cable. The use of a sponge bw tabs may offer additional protection. How-
ever, no matter the barrier or bw tab, you must protect the cable.
You must always ask patients to close lightly so that they have only the
slightest of contact. Do not allow patients to bite down on the cable. If you
feel that you will not have the patient's full cooperation, place an object
such as a folded gauze or cotton roll on the tab, to hold the teeth open just
enough to keep the cable from harm. You may also place the cable in an
area where there are missing teeth or in an area where, anatomically, there
is an open space or lack full occlusion.
