1. INTRODUCTION AND INDICATIONS FOR USE
For 2D machine only :
NewTom GO is an extraoral X-ray system for digital panoramic exams. It is intended to produce orthopanoramic
images of the maxillofacial region and to carry out diagnostic examination on teeth, dental arches and other
structures in the oral cavity.
For 3D machine only :
NewTom GO is an extraoral X-ray system for digital panoramic exams and tomographies, intended to:
(i) produce orthopanoramic images of the maxillofacial region and carry out diagnostic examination on teeth, dental
arches and other structures in the oral cavity;
(ii) produce tomographic images of the oral cavity and maxillofacial structures and carry out diagnostic examination
on teeth, dental arches, structures of the oral cavity and some cranial bones.
The system performs tomographic exams with the acquisition of X-ray images through a rotating sequence and the
reconstruction of a three-dimensional matrix of the examined volume, thus producing two- and three-dimensional
views of the volume itself. This technique is known as CBCT.
NewTom GO is a digital X-ray device, suitable for expert professionals, which allows to obtain dental images in a
simple and automatic way. The image is acquired by means of an X-ray detector and a constant potential X-ray
source, powered by a high-voltage and high-frequency generator. The image is then transmitted to a computer in real
time.
USA federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a licensed healthcare practitioner.
NewTom GO allows the following 2D projections:
- standard or panoramic views for paediatric patients (PAN);
- complete or partial views of the teeth, selected by the user (DENT);
- front and side views of maxillary sinuses (SIN);
- side and posteroanterior views of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), from different angles.
Furthermore, the 3D version machine also allows to acquire tomographic images.
NewTom GO is intended for use in dentistry, in the following fields:
- endodontics;
- periodontology;
- dental prosthesis;
- functional diagnosis and therapy of craniomandibular dysfunctions;
- dental surgery;
- dental implants;
- maxillofacial surgery;
- orthodontics.
Do not use on patients (children) less than approximately 104 cm in height and less than 19 kg in weight.
These height and weight measurements approximately correspond to that of an average 4 year old.
Use of equipment and exposure settings designed for adults of average size can result in excessive
radiation exposure for a smaller patient. Studies have shown that pediatric patients may be more
radiosensitive than adults (i.e., the cancer risk per unit dose of ionizing radiation is higher), and so
unnecessary radiation exposure is of particular concern for pediatric patients.
Not for use with patients not vigilant and cooperative, since the patient must be able to understand and
follow the operator's instructions for a correct positioning.

1.7.5. CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Cleaning is the first step necessary in any disinfection process. The physical action of rubbing a surface with
detergents and surface-active agents and rinsing with water removes a large number of microorganisms. If
a surface is not cleaned first, the disinfection process cannot be successful.
When a surface cannot be adequately cleaned, it should be protected with barriers.
The external parts of the device must be cleaned and disinfected using a product for hospital use with indications for
HIV, HBV and tuberculosis (medium-level disinfectant) specifically for small surfaces.
The various drugs and chemical products used in dentist’s surgeries may damage the painted surfaces and the
plastic parts. The tests and research conducted have demonstrated that the surfaces cannot be fully protected
against attack of all the products found on the market. It is therefore recommended to use barrier protections
whenever possible.
The aggressive effects of chemical products also depend on the time they stay in contact with the surfaces. It is
therefore important not to leave the product on the surfaces of the device for longer than the time indicated by the
manufacturer.
It is recommended to use the specific medium-level disinfectant, STER 1 PLUS (CEFLA S.C.), which is compatible
with the painted surfaces, plastic parts and unpainted metal surfaces. Alternatively, it is recommended to use
products that contain:
-96% ethanol Concentration: maximum 30 g for every 100 g of disinfectant.
-1-propanol (N-propanol, propyl alcohol, N-propyl alcohol). Concentration: maximum 20 g for every 100 g of
disinfectant.
-Combination of ethanol and propanol. Concentration: the combination of the two must be at maximum 40 g for
every 100 g of disinfectant.
-Painted surfaces and plastic parts.
- Incidin Spezial (Henkel Ecolab);
- Omnizid (Omnident);
- Plastisept (Alpro) (not tuberculocide as not an alcohol-based disinfectant);
- RelyOn Virkosept (DuPont);
- Green & Clean SK (Metasys) (not tuberculocide as not an alcohol-based disinfectant).
-Do not use products containing isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol, isopropanol).
-Do not use products containing sodium hypochlorite (bleach).
-Do not use products containing phenols.
-Whatever product you use, follow the instructions given by the manufacturer.
-Do not mix the STER 1 PLUS disinfectant with other products.
-Do not spray the product directly on the device surfaces.
For cleaning and disinfection use disposable, soft, non-abrasive
paper (do not use recycled paper) or sterile gauze.
- It is recommended to turn off the device before cleaning and
disinfecting the external parts.
- Everything used for cleaning and disinfection must be thrown
away after use.

1.7.6. HYGIENE PROCEDURES FOR PATIENT PROTECTION
Single-use hygienic protections are the main means of protection against transmission of cross-infections
between patients. In order to prevent transmission of infectious diseases from patient to patient, it is
essential to always use the single-use protections. The single-use protections are classified as Class I
medical device and may not be replaced with others in a lower class.
The single-use protections must be in compliance with the ISO 10993-1 standards on biocompatibility and
approved by the control bodies where required (e.g. FDA, CE).
Always change the disposable protective cover for the bite before using it for a new patient.
The disposable protective covers must be stored in a clean dry place away from direct sunlight and UV rays.
The bite piece and the chinrest can be disinfected by immersing them in a cold sterilising liquid. For
sterilisation of these parts, follow the instructions of the supplier of the sterilising product.
Cover all the components that will come into contact with the hands of the dental staff with disposable
single-use protections, as they might be contaminated by indirect contact with the patient’s mouth. In
particular, be careful how you handle the control console of the device, the mouse and keyboard of the PC.
Prior to positioning patients for any X-ray exposure, always cover the bite block with a new clean non-sterile
plastic barrier, to avoid cross contamination.
Note for users in Canada: ask your trusted dental material distributor for any plastic barrier that is suitable in
size and is marketed in Canada according to the local regulations in force.
According to Health Canada, bite block covers are Class I devices and are distributed by authorised
establishments only, as listed in the MDEL database.

1.8.7. PROTECTION AGAINST RADIATION
This system is an X-ray equipment. As such, it exposes patients and operators to risks from radiation. It
must be used in compliance with the safety standards set forth by the radiological protection regulation in
force in the country of use. Following are some of the provisions:
-Control the emission of X-rays exclusively from the control workstation, the exam room must be suitably
shielded (if required by the local regulations in force).
-Make sure that the doors of the X-ray room are closed before starting the exam.
-During the emission, only the patient should stay in the exam room. If it is necessary for the operator to
remain during the exam (e.g. when the patient is not self-sufficient and requires assistance), he/she
must wear protective equipment against scattered radiation and, in any case, no parts of his/her body
should ever be exposed to direct X-ray emission. Patients may not be assisted by pregnant women or
minors.
-During the system's initialisation procedure, nobody is allowed in the exam room and its doors must
remain closed. Authorised personnel must always be present outside the room until the projection is
completed.
-Pay attention not to release the emission button too soon. Please note that during an exposure cycle,
radiation can be emitted several times. Wait for the exposure cycle to be completed.
-Always observe the following points:
-Stay at least 2 metres away from the X-ray source during exposure. For installations in Canada, the
minimum distance is 3 metres.
-All persons that are not directly involved with the patient should stay outside the exam room, or
behind a lead or lead glass shielding during exposure.
-Make sure that the operator is able to communicate with the patient both verbally and visually.
-If required, use a dosimeter for personal monitoring.
-Full use must be made of all radiation protection devices, accessories, and procedures available to
protect the patient and operator from X-ray radiation, especially for child.
1.8.8. APPLIED PARTS
The parts that, during standard use, necessarily come into contact with the patient, so that the device may carry out
its functions correctly, are: chinrest, bite piece and hygienic protections, craniostat and handles.
The non-applied parts that may come into contact with patient are the external covers and the patient arm.

1.8.9. STRAY RADIATIONS
Stray radiation measurement is highly influenced by ambient conditions, such as wall composition and positioning,
therefore, under certain circumstances, the detected values can be significantly different.
The measurement points used are at 0.5 m, 1.0 m and 2.0 m, respectively, from a central rotation axis.
The circular measurement points are determined based on the patient bite position on the machine.
