1Introduction
This User Manual contains original instructions by Gendex Dental Systems for safe set-up, use
and maintenance of the Gendex GXS-700.
It also contains technical specifications of the system and basic information on how the system
works.
Please read this manual carefully before starting to use the device, paying particular attention
to warnings, especially safety warnings.
Intended Use of the Device
The GXS-700 is a USB-driven digital sensor which is intended to acquire dental
intraoral radiography images. The GXS-700 shall be operated by healthcare
professionals, who are educated and competent to perform the acquisition of dental
intraoral radiographs. The GXS-700 can be used either in combination with special
positioning devices to facilitate positioning and alignment with the X-ray beam, or it
may also be positioned by hand with the assistance of the patient.
Product Description
An X-ray image sensor (CMOS) is positioned in the patient’s mouth just like intraoral
film. There is no electrical or physical connection between GXS-700 and the X-ray
generator. Images are automatically acquired when X-rays are present in a dose
which is perceptible to the sensor.
Digital X-ray images are quickly displayed on the screen. Images can be optimized for
viewing via imaging software, stored as image files, and printed out on a suitable
printer if desired. VixWin Platinum is one example of a dedicated software that
employs a number of utilities for optimizing viewing and printing of images.
The GXS-700 must be connected to a PC running on a Windows operating system
through the standard USB port (Universal Serial Bus). See the “System Configuration”
paragraph for details.
