Compliance Statement and Safety Issues
FCC Compliance Statement
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Schick Technologies could void
your authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Check CDR Wireless Sensor before Using It
Before each usage, check the CDR Wireless Sensor for any signs of physical damage or
defect. Make sure the battery pack is attached securely to the sensor. Before taking X-
rays, observe the proper guidelines for using sheaths, holders, and tabs.
Observe Handling, Storage, and Disposal Guidelines for
Batteries
Your CDR Wireless Sensor system is equipped with disposable batteries that have been
packaged and protected at the factory. Be sure to read the special instructions relating to
battery usage and follow all of the guidelines for storage and disposal.
Radio Frequency (RF) Interference Considerations
Your CDR Wireless Sensor system has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class A digital device under the Federal Communication Commission's Rules and
Regulations. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the system is operated in a commercial (in this case, clinical)
environment. To operate this system safely, follow all the procedures in accordance with
this User Guide and all other documentation distributed with this system.

1.Overview
1.1. Purpose
The CDR Wireless Sensor, Base Station, and application software are elements of an
electronic imaging system that transmits X-ray dental exams over a wireless RF link. The
Wireless Sensor is powered by a single battery, enclosed in protective packaging. The
Base Station is powered from the computer’s USB port.
1.2. Indications for Use
The CDR Wireless Sensor system is intended for any dental practice that uses X-ray
equipment for intraoral diagnostic purposes. It is indicated for patients receiving intraoral
dental X-ray examinations and produces digital images that can be displayed, enhanced,
printed, and saved. Because of the Sensor's higher sensitivity to X-rays in comparison to
film, the radiation dose to the patient is reduced. For diagnostic purposes, digital images
compare favorably with images acquired with X-ray film media.
1.3. Important Setup Reminders
1. Images acquired with your Wireless Sensor are transmitted to the Antenna / Receiver
over RF link. If active during image transmission, other devices that use radio
frequency or microwave technology (wireless Local Area Networks, wireless
telecommunication devices, microwave ovens) may interfere with the optimal
performance of your CDR Wireless System. For best results, turn off other wireless
or microwave devices when using your Wireless Sensor.
2. Correct placement of the Antenna / Receiver with respect to the Wireless Sensor is
essential. Be sure to follow the positioning information found in this document when
establishing the optimal location for the Antenna / Receiver. As a general rule, place
the Antenna / Receiver as close as practically possible to the patient chair where the
Sensor will be used. The distance between the Sensor and the Antenna / Receiver
should not exceed 6 feet (1.8 meters).
3. As with any X-ray procedure, stabilizing the Sensor in the correct intraoral position is
critical for diagnostic quality images. Equally important is for the patient to remain
completely still as X-ray images are acquired. Wireless Sensors are more sensitive to
motion during the imaging process, so be sure to remind your patients as you take X-
ray images.

1.4. General Description
Hardware in the CDR Wireless Sensor system performs the following actions.
• Wireless Sensor -- Captures the image created when the Sensor is exposed
to radiation from an X-ray source.
• Base Station Antenna / Receiver -- Receives, via wireless RF link, the
image acquired from the Wireless Sensor and sends it to the USB
Interface Unit. The unit is powered from the computer’s USB port.
• Base Station USB Interface -- Communicates, via wired USB link, with
attached computer hardware, enabling acquired images to be displayed on
a computer monitor or other display system. The unit is powered from the
computer’s USB port.
Software used with the CDR Wireless system performs the following actions.
• Wireless Sensor Driver, supplied with your system, acquires images
captured by the Wireless Sensor. It also optimizes image quality for
display on a computer monitor.
• Wireless Tools, Wireless Monitor, and Diagnostic utilities, supplied with
your system, monitor, configure, and diagnose the system.
• CDR Application Software (version 2.6 or DICOM for Windows),
optional and available separately, provides the user with advanced features
for image review, manipulation, printing, and storage.
