2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM
DIGISENS, produced by New Life Radiology S.r.l., is a digital intraoral sensor that is
characterized by the simplicity of use.
Special features of the system are:
- The rounded apical edges
- The rounded body
- The high flexibility of the cable,
- Direct connection to the acquisition PC via direct USB connector.

Mod. MQI006-0 / Doc. HBE110-2
DIGISENS is based on CMOS technology, which allows a reduced pixel size (20 µm) ensuring
excellent spatial resolution, also guaranteed by the use of a fiber optic plate (FOP), which ensures
a high quality image and at the same time increases the life of the sensor protecting it from
incident X-rays.
The scintillating layer can be supplied in both Cesium Iodide (CsI) and Gadolinium Oxyisulphide
(GOS) technology.
The size of the sensitive area is available in the format corresponding to the standard size 1 of
intraoral films.
All these features make DIGISENS the ideal tool for any type of positioning, while ensuring
maximum patient comfort.
DIGISENS uses the ARCHIMED SUITE image acquisition and management software that saves
images directly in DICOM format.
2.1 Intended use
The system is intended for the execution of endoral X-rays of the human dental complex; the
device can be used without distinction of sex, race and type of patient.
The device is intended for both the market of dentists and radiologists, so it can be installed both
in dedicated facilities (hospitals or clinics) and in housing facilities equipped with appropriate
shielding systems.
2.2 Classification of the device according to CE 93/42
DIGISENS, in all its configurations, is an active medical device, invasive through natural
cavities, for temporary use, intended for diagnostics.
Applying the classification rules of Annex IX of the EC 93/42, as amended by Directive
2007/47/EC, DIGISENS falls into class IIa.
2.3 Applicable standards
The standards applicable to the device mainly concern the general safety standards (patient and
operator) and the electromagnetic emission standards.
The applicable standards are therefore as follows:
Reference standard Description
CEI EN 60601-1:2005 Medical electrical equipment Part 1: General requirements for
basic safety and essential performance

2.6 Physical principles of operation
The DIGISENS sensor works like a normal digital sensor, i.e. it transforms the dose amount that
affects each individual sensor element (pixel) into an electrical signal that can be processed
through an analog-to-digital conversion system.
This transformation takes place through the following steps:
1) Transformation of incident X-rays into light rays; this transformation takes place in the CsI or
GOS sensitive layer.
2) The light rays are transferred, through the Optical Fiber, on the sensitive layer of the CMOS.
3) The CMOS sensor transforms the light rays into electrical charges, which are stored in special
structures until the time of reading.
In this way, each element of the image (pixel) accumulates a number of charges proportional to
both the amount of incident light rays and the exposure time.
