IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
Processing chemical consists of caustics and acids. Avoid contact with your skin and eyes as
irritation may result. Attempt to avoid splashes or spills, which may cause permanent stains.
NEVER TAKE CHEMICALS INTERNALLY.
In addition to the above, used chemical contains heavy metals which can be toxic to the
environment. We strongly urge you to dispose of used chemical in a safe manner. Several disposal
methods are available to you. Please consult with your local sanitary or environmental agencies for
guidance, or phone GENDEX Technical Support at:

SECTION 1
GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this manual is to recommend to
the user proper operating procedures of the
GENDEX GXP dental x-ray processor. Included
is information for the installer/serviceman to aid
in the installation, system test and readjustment
of the GXP. The GXP processor is a closed
recirculation system – all chemical overflow is
returned to the original containers. This offers
two distinct advantages over other systems.
•Chemical replenishment is not
necessary. The large volume of
chemical used with the GXP is
constantly recirculated throughout the
system, maintaining uniform strength.
•When the chemical has been
exhausted, it may be disposed of in
an environmentally safe manner.
The standard closed wash water system is
re-freshened daily through a separate water
container, eliminating the need for external
plumbing. High volume users (clinics, x-ray
laboratories, etc.) may choose the solenoid
water valve processor (requiring external
plumbing systems), eliminating the need for
frequent wash water changes.
The GXP is suitable for all automatic dental
radiographic films up to and including 8" x 10"
cephalometric. Only automatic processing
chemical should be used. We strongly
recommend the use of GENDEX SupermaxTM
chemical, specially formulated and packaged
for the GXP. Supermax chemical has been
thoroughly tested to ensure proper compatibility
and extended chemical activity for use with the
GXP.
