7. Routine maintenance
ATTENTION!
Any technical maintenance work required must be carried out by qualied personnel or by a specialised technician authorised by the
manufacturer.
It is the user’s responsibility to check that routine maintenance is carried out by an authorised technician at least every 2 years.
The maintenance methods are specied in the Technical Service Manual possessed by the Authorised Technicians.
8. Cleaning and disinfection
The x-ray unit may be a source of infection passed from one patient to another if it is not cleaned properly. For this reason it should be disinfected
on the outside every day after use.
If digital X-ray sensors are used make sure they are always used with disposable hygienic covers. When disinfecting the x-ray unit use soft
disposable paper and avoid using corrosive substances or immersing the unit in liquids.
To avoid damaging the plastic materials use products containing:
• Ethanole 96%:
Concentration: maximum 30 g per 100 g of disinfectant.
• Propanole:
Concentration: maximum 20 g per 100 g of disinfectant.
• Combination of ethanole and propanole:
Concentration: the combination of the two should be maximum 40 g per 100 g of disinfectant.
Compatibility tests between plastics and the following products have been carried out with no negative consequences:
• 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)
ATTENTION!
• Do not use products containing isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol, iso-propanol).
• Do not use products that contain sodium hypochlorite (bleach).
• Do not use cleaners that contain phenol.
• Do not spray the selected products directly on the surfaces.
• Never combine products with each other or with liquids other than the products listed above.
• All products must be used as directed by the manufacturer.
Cleaning and disinfecting instructions.
Use soft disposable paper towels or sterile gauze to clean and disinfect.
Do not use sponges or in any case, any material that can be reused.
ATTENTION!
• Shut off the unit prior to clean and disinfecting the external parts.
• Never lubricate the pivot point of the x-ray cone as proper operation of the locking system may be compromised.
• All material used to clean and disinfect must be thrown away.

9. Dismantling the equipment when no longer used
As set out in Directives 2002/95/ EC, 2002/96/ EC and 2003/108/ EC, on the restrictions of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and
electronic equipment along with collection, treatment, recycling and disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment the latter must be treated
as municipal waste, therefore sorted and collected separately. When new equipment of equivalent type is purchased the waste equipment should be
returned to the distributor on a one-to-one basis for disposal.
As far as reuse, recycling and other forms of waste recovery mentioned above are concerned, the manufacturer is responsible for the actions specied
by individual local laws.
Efcient collection of sorted waste separately to recycle and treat waste electrical and electronic equipment aids in preventing negative environmental
impacts while protecting human health. In addition it facilitates recycling of the materials used to construct the equipment.
The crossed out wheeled bin placed on the equipment indicates that the waste equipment must be collected separately from other waste.
ATTENTION!
Illegal waste disposal carries heavy nes dened by local laws.

TECHNICAL FACTOR MEASURE
The high voltage value is measured with a non-invasive instrument.
The anode current is controlled inside with measurement resistors and circuits to obtain very precise measurements. Operation of the circuits is
checked at the time of testing. Once assembled, the anode current can no longer be directly measured.
The exposure time should be evaluated by measuring the time that elapses from the moment in which high voltage exceeds 75% of the nominal va-
lue to the moment in which it drops below this value. Considering the high gradient of the rising and trailing edges of the anode voltage and squaring
due to inherent ltration, use of a threshold ranging from 25% to 75% may be considered non-inuential.
