SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Aadva®Lab Scan

44 Aadva LAB SCAN from GC Version 1.1 |V4901 |July 2014
The Aadva Lab Scan is a structured light scanner for creating digital 3D dental models by scanning dental
models which can then be used in the (CAD/CAM) design, manufacture and production of dental prosthesis.
The device uses blue LED light and has a scan time of 980 milliseconds, making it one of
the fastest dental scanners available. The included software also allows the user to directly upload edited
3D models for CAD/CAM processing and manufacture (for detailed indications see page 4, 5, 6).
The PC component of the AadvaScanner constitutes an integral part of the AadvaScanner and may not be
used for any purposes other than for the functionality of the AadvaScanner itself. No components (whether
hardware and/or software) and/or other applications may be changed, added or removed.
GC Europe n.v. and/or the GC Europe distributors and/or service partners approved and appointed by GCE
are responsible for delivering and installing patches, fixes, service packs and software upgrades related to
the installed software in order to guarantee the proper functioning of the AadvaScanner and in accordance
with the maintenance contract concluded if the latter is applicable.
