Safety Issues
Check USBCam2 before Using It
There are no customer-serviceable components in the USBCam2. However, before each usage, check the
outer surface of the USBCam2 for any signs of physical damage or defect. The surface of the USBCam2
should have a smooth finish, with no evidence of chipping or damage to either the handpiece housing or the
lens section. If detected, contact your local distributor of Schick Technologies products for further
instructions.
To help ensure proper hygiene and to protect against infectious disease, refer to the Protective Measures
section of this document and observe all device cleaning and patient protection recommendations specified
there.
Avoid Excessive Temperatures when Using USBCam2
When in use, the LEDs in the USBCam2 may generate surface temperatures in excess of 106° F (41° C). To
avoid the potential risk of burn, do not use the USBCam2 in a single hand-held position for a prolonged
period. As an additional safety measure, the USBCam2 is equipped with an Auto-Off feature. This feature
turns off the camera automatically after 5 minutes of continuous use. The camera can be turned back on by
simply pressing the ON/OFF button on the handpiece.
Operate the USBCam2 as Directed
Always use the USBCam2 in accordance with the directions and recommendations contained in this User
Guide. Do not attempt to modify the USBCam2 or use it in system configurations not specified in this
document.
RF Interference Considerations
Although the USBCam2 equipment is designed to provide a reasonable degree of protection from
electromagnetic interference, according to IEC International regulations, it must be installed at an adequate
distance from electricity transformer rooms, static continuity units, two-way amateur radios and cellular
phones. To ensure proper operation, the latter (meaning, electricity transformer rooms, static continuity units,
two-way amateur radios and cellular phones) can be used only at a minimum distance of 5 feet (1.5m) from
any part of the USBCam2 system.
Any instrumentation or equipment for professional use located near USBCam2 must conform to
Electromagnetic Compatibility regulations. Non-conforming equipment, with known poor immunity to
electromagnetic fields, may not operate properly unless they are installed at a distance of at least 10 feet (3m)
and supplied by a dedicated electric line.
Apply Recommended Procedures for Cleaning the Equipment
Safe and proper operation of the equipment requires that a regular schedule of preventive maintenance be
followed. Refer to the Protective Measures section of this manual for details.
Do Not Connect Items that are Not Part of the System
Only items specified for use with the equipment are to be connected to the system. The equipment should not
be used adjacent to other equipment that is not part of the system. If, however, use with adjacent equipment
is necessary, normal operation should be observed and verified in that configuration.

Installers to Ensure that USBCam2 Operates Optimally
Installers must ensure that the USBCam2 provides the user with the optimal use of the equipment. This
includes, but is not limited to, ensuring the system operates as described in this document. Installers must
also ensure that the system presents no physical obstacles or hazards during operation and when not in use.
To verify this requirement, installers shall confirm that the USBCam2 is installed as described in this User
Guide and shall perform the appropriate procedures therein.
Ensure Proper System and PC Workstation Installation and Operation
The USBCam2 has been determined to be in accordance with international safety standards and is deemed
suitable for use within the patient area, which extends from the patient for a distance of 5 feet (1.5m). To
comply with these standards, do not operate non-medical equipment (such as a PC workstation) inside the
patient area. Outside the patient area, the presence of approved non-medical grade equipment and Listed /
Approved / certified Information technology Equipment (ITE) computer equipment is acceptable.
The PC workstation that connects to the USBCam2 via compatible USB cable is an integral part of a Medical
Electrical System. The PC must be a CE-approved computer system conforming with the Low Voltage
[73/23/EC] and EMC Directive [89/336/ERC]. Also, to help ensure optimal performance, ensure that all
software programs residing on the workstation are virus-free and have been adequately tested so they will not
impact imaging applications after installation.
Please refer to documentation provided by the PC manufacturer for important information about its safe
operation and usage.
Observe Proper PC Workstation Cleaning Methods
To avoid cross contamination, be sure to follow the cleaning instructions provided by your computer
manufacturer and implement them as part of your normal routine for ensuring proper sterilization and
disinfectant of tools in your dental practice

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Background
The European Union’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
(2002/96/EC) has been implemented in member states as of August 13, 2005. This
directive, which seeks to reduce the waste of electrical and electronic equipment through
re-use, recycling, and recovery, imposes several requirements on producers. Schick
Technologies and its Dealers are committed to complying with the Directive.
WEEE Marking
All Schick products subject to the WEEE Directive and shipped after August 13, 2005 will
be compliant with the WEEE marking requirements. These products will be identified with
the “crossed-out wheeled bin” WEEE symbol shown below, as defined in European
Standard EN 50419, and in accordance with WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC.
This “crossed-out wheeled bin” symbol on the product or on its packaging
indicates that this product must not be disposed of with other unsorted municipal
waste. Instead, it is user’s responsibility to dispose of EE waste equipment by
handing it over to a designated collection point for the reuse or recycling of waste
electrical and electronic equipment. The separate collection and reuse or recycling
of Electrical & Electronic waste equipment will help to conserve natural resources
and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects the environment and human
health. For more information about where you can drop off your waste equipment
for recycling, please contact your local officials.
Reporting
According to the WEEE Directive, Schick Technologies or its Dealers will ensure that
information needed to calculate the financial obligations with respect to EEE products will
be provided as required.
WEEE from Users other than Private Households
According to the WEEE Directive, Schick Technologies or its Dealers will fulfill its
obligations for the management of WEEE from users other than private households.
Furthermore, as required by the WEEE Directive, in order to enable the date upon which
the equipment was put on the market to be determined unequivocally, a mark on the
equipment will be placed to specify that the equipment was put on the market after August
13, 2005.

USBCam2 User Guide B1051061 Rev. –
vii
Information for Reuse Centers, Treatment and Recycling Facilities

dental exams as permanent records and retrieved for comparison or subsequent review.
Ergonomic, the USBCam2 provides slim, smooth contours and a small head profile for
comfortable use and operation. Taking images with the USBCam2 integrated capture
button makes video frame capture a simple one-pushbutton step. Bright, built-in LEDs
supply superior illumination and advanced optics provide excellent depth of field for
optimal performance.
Adding USBCam2 to your office provides the following advantages:
•Digital output over high-speed USB 2.0
•Full motion video, full color depth, and VGA resolution quality with no
compression artifacts
•Plugs directly into your computer, no separate power supply required, and
ports quickly from operatory to operatory — just disconnect and reconnect
•Uses Microsoft Windows ® DirectX ® drivers — no special "frame-
grabbing" video card
1.2. Indications for Use
USBCam2 is to be used as an intraoral video source and is indicated for individuals who
may benefit from the addition of video images in intraoral dental examinations.
1.3. System Description
