1. ABOUT THIS USER GUIDE
1.1. Dear customers
Congratulations on your purchase. The Rayplicker Cobra is a dental shade and translucency
device according to known dental art standards with an accuracy of the order of ∆E=1. This self-
calibrated device is intended for dentists and prosthetists.
This wireless electro-optical device, made in France, makes it possible to determine exactly the
shade of natural teeth and prostheses according to most shade guides used to determine color
as well as on the basis of CIE L*a*b* values.
Precise and ergonomic, the Rayplicker Cobra solution is also equipped with a software allowing
the processing and recording of data as well as the creation of an order form with ease. The
«Pics App Solution» application will allow you to provide patient photos, essential for the proper
production of a prosthesis.
In order to achieve perfect shade taking, please read this user guide carefully.
We also invite you to refer to the software user manual mentioned in this document.
Forget the approximate measurements and gain in eciency and performance with the Rayplicker
Cobra.
BOREA team.

2. RAYPLICKER SOLUTION DESCRIPTION
The Rayplicker Cobra is a device intended for the determination of dental color and translucency.
It is a multipoint spectral measurement device built around a two-dimensional optical sensor
and a spectrometer allowing the acquisition of spectral data at any point of the tooth and the
automatic production of a complete and precise cartography of the shade variations of this
tooth. The analysis is performed on specific spectral bands relevant for hue recognition. Thanks
to its geometry, this wireless device allows access to all the teeth of the mouth.
It has a sterilizable calibration tip allowing it to rest on the patient’s teeth, thus ensuring precise
positioning of the device.
These tips play an important role because they incorporate a chromatic reference (gray pattern)
necessary for the proper functioning of the device through a self-calibration step not perceived
by the user.
An oled screen is integrated into the device and displays the analyzed area in real time, thus
facilitating the positioning of the measuring head on the tooth. The video stream is also
available on the computer screen via the Rayplicker Vision software necessary for the analysis
and archiving of data in a patient file. The acquisition is carried out in less than a second and
instantly transmitted to the patient file by wifi. Once transmitted, the shade viewer allows you
to see a polarized photo, an overall shade map, a three-thirds analysis of the tooth (Cervical,
middle, incisal), a 9-zone analysis, a pixel-perfect analysis and an analysis of translucency. The
color information is communicated according to the standards of the commonly used shade
guides. It is also possible to analyze the color according to the L*a*b* and L*C* h standards.

4. FIRST START-UP
4.1. Fitting the calibration tip
The calibration tip is positioned (clipped)
at the end of the measuring head. Thanks
to its specific design, it can be supported
on the patient’s teeth, thus ensuring precise
positioning of the device.
It incorporates a chromatic reference (gray
pattern) necessary for the proper functioning
of the device through a self-calibration step
not perceived by the user.
It is necessary to ensure that the calibration
tip is clean and in good condition. It must also be protected from the sun’s rays and any other
type of external aggression. The condition of the tip attests to the quality of the calibration and
guarantees the quality of the data collected by the Rayplicker Cobra. We invite you to check
the condition of your tips, for this, please refer to the protocol for use of the Rayplicker Cobra
present on the BOREA website.
4.2. Device charging
Before its first use, the device must be charged.
Charging can take up to 4 hours. To do this, the
device must be placed on its base and then
connected using the cable to a mains socket.

Take care not to move for 1 second, the time
of the spectral acquisition.
Once the transfer is complete, the shade
viewer opens on the Rayplicker Vision sof-
tware.
7.2. Automatic calibration
The Rayplicker Cobra device performs a self-calibration at each acquisition.
This is done using the sterilizable tip which has a gray pattern. It is necessary to ensure the
cleanliness and condition of this calibration tip. It must also be protected from the sun’s rays
and any other type of external aggression.
The condition of the tip attests to the quality of the calibration and guarantees the quality of
the data collected by the Rayplicker Cobra.
We invite you to check the condition of your tips. To do so, please refer to the Good Practices
guide presented here “8.1. Good practices for using the Rayplicker Cobra”, page 21, of this
