EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Phosphorous plates
General guidelines:
Warnings
Eagle.PS must only be used with EAGLE approved plates. Using other supplier's plates may
influence the image quality.
Phosphorous plates are toxic: for this reason they should be wrapped in protective covers
before being inserted into the patient's mouth. In case the patient swallows a plaque or part of
it, a doctor should be consulted immediately.
If the patient damages the protective cover by biting it, the patient's mouth should be flushed
immediately with water.
Active side:
The colored side (usually white or blue) is
the active side of phosphorous plate. This side is also
marked by a positioning symbol.
Inactive side:
The Inactive side is black. Some
Manufacturers Mark this side as plate size (0, 1, 2, 3 or 4)
and the text "Back" or "Reverse".
Working with Phosphorous plates
The plates are sensitive to physical damage and, if necessary, must be replaced periodically.
Pay attention for:
Plates are flexible like an x-ray film.
- Do not bend or press hard.
- Do not scratch or get them dirty.
- Do not place in autoclaves
Storage:
- Store them in a dark place
- Do not store in a hot or humid place.
- Store them with protective covers using appropriate sizes
- If an image is stored for more than 24 hours, it must be erased first before the next acquisition.
- Protect from exposure to the sun and ultraviolet rays.
Protective cover
For each size of the imaging plate a disposable, single use, hygienic
protection is used to prevent cross contamination. The transparent side
allows you to see the point, While the opaque side protects the Active side of
the inserted plate to avoid image degradation.
The protective cap is a disposable product, thus, it should not be
used again.
