1.3. System Description
The USBCam2 system hardware consists of the following
components: USBCam2 Handpiece and Holder, USB 2.0 Cable, and
Camera Sheaths. The USBCam2 is connected by USB 2.0 type A-B
cable to a compatible Windows Vista (32- or 64-bit) or Windows
XP (32- or 64-bit) PC workstation, which provides the power source
for the device. To turn on the USBCam2, press the Power button
located
near the base of the handpiece; pressing the button a second
time turns the USBCam2 off (Figure 7).
The holder for the USBCam2 serves as storage for the device when
not in use and can be installed in a variety of chair-side or adjacent
surface options, providing quick access as well as protection from
accidental damage. The holder also turns off the camera
automatically when the handpiece is stored. When the handpiece is
removed, the camera is turned on automatically and is ready for use.
A programmable button to Freeze / Take / Unfreeze video is located
at the side opposite from the camera LEDs, near the middle of the
handpiece (Figure 7). Built-in support for these video functions is
provided by compatible software programs such as CDR DICOM
for Windows 3.5 and higher, EagleSoft 14.0 and higher, and
Patterson Imaging 14.0 and higher. For other custom applications, a
programmer’s guide is available.
Optically clear sheaths are required for each new patient and provide
an effective measure for ensuring proper hygiene and protection
against infectious disease. Cleaning and disinfection information for
the USBCam2 handpiece and the holder can be found in Section 5
,
which includes a list of recommended products and procedures.
