KaVo IXS
The KaVo IXS sensor 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.
WARNING
Take the necessary steps to protect yourself from radiation. For
proper operator positioning, refer to the 'Instructions for Use' of your
intraoral X-ray equipment.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should the dental professional hold the
sensor by hand during the X-ray exposure.
Product Description
The KaVo IXS sensor is an indirect converting x-ray detector, e.g. incident x-
rays are converted by a scintillating material into (visible) light, this light is
coupled optically to a light detection imager based on CMOS technology.
The design of the sensor assembly supports the automatic detection of the
incident x-rays to generate digital images for dental intra oral applications.
The KaVo sensor supports USB2.0 and USB3.x connectivity to personal
computers using a dedicated electronic assembly and a sensor software driver.
Proficiency with the KaVo IXS
Please become acquainted with your KaVo IXS 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.
