OREX Ltd. is a market innovator in the field of portable Computed Radiography
Technologies—designed and priced for low-volume clinic or field unit needs.
Founded in 1995 under the name of Digident, the company initially entered the market of
desktop dental radiography providing high quality, portable CR reading units for dental and
orthodontic professionals around the world. The secret of Digident/OREX’s rapid success lies
in the best cost-performance ratio on the market.
OREX designs, manufactures and markets phosphor image laser scanners. These units replace
the traditional x-ray film and light box. The scanners allow the user to immediately read the
x-ray image from the phosphor plate, and transfer it to a DICOM 3 compatible digital
computer file. Once transferred, users can manipulate the digital image for close-up
screening, or transmit it for long-distance consultation. After each scan, the phosphor plates
are automatically erased by the unit, ready for re-use.
OREX provides clients with a full solution including phosphor image plates, laser readers,
software for image processing, storage, retrieval and communication in Picture Archiving and
Communications System (PACS) compatible format.
The company’s mission is to become a leading provider of compact personal CR systems.
Following the successful penetration of the global dental market, the company changed its
name from Digident to OREX and expanded its markets and product lines to serve the dental,
medical, military, industrial and veterinary fields.
“We are committed to assisting our customers in obtaining maximum value
from OREX products by providing excellent support at exceptional value.”

Safety
Laser Safety Instructions
1. During nominal operation, the scanner is closed
and sealed with a protective cover. That is for
preventing the laser from being exposed to the
outside area, and to prevent access to the laser by
the user.
2. During nominal operation, the cover should not be
removed. Removing the cover shall be done only
for service purposes, and by a qualified technician
for service operations.
3. Any service operation shall be done without
activating the laser unit. Disconnecting the relevant
connector on the laser board will disconnect the
power supply to the laser, and deactivate the laser
unit for service operations.
4. In case the laser must be operated during service
operation, the service technician shall make sure
that the optical unit is located within the cylinder
area, where the laser beam is blocked and cannot
leak outside.
5. When a service operation is taking place, with
cover removed and laser activated, avoid direct
exposure to the laser beam.
