Guide Lines for Protection against Radiation
The X-ray system may cause injury to the patients if used improperly. The instructions contained in this
manual must be read and followed when operating PaX-Primo. The world standard regulations pertaining
to radiation safety must be observed.
When exposing X-ray, User must be behind the protective wall, or take other protective actions. When a
breakdowns or troubles appear, User keeps at least 2m (7feet) away from the X-ray system to release the
exposure switch while observing patient and capture-progress.
User must provide the protective clothes to the patient. Before capturing, pregnant women must always
consult with doctors.

Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1. Product features
PaX-Primo is a digital, panoramic dental diagnostic system developed with especially the affordability in
mind without sacrificing performances. This equipment provides various features as follows.
Among them:
1. Adopting AAM (Area Adaptive Mode) to minimize image distortion caused from inappropriate pose
in panoramic mode.
2. Providing higher image resolution produced by the advanced CMOS-type sensor that is made for
exclusive use in the panoramic imaging.
3. Providing wide touch screen of 10.4” to streamline series of procedures from patient positioning, to
image saving to image reading, thus leading to easier-to-manipulation than ever before.
4. Improving reliability and dependability by adopting CAN(controlled area network) protocol that
generally is used in areas like airplane leading to greatly reduced problem occurrences.
5. Positioning patients more accurately in a way that the operator and patient face each other, resulting
in creating much less distorted images.
6. The PaX-Primo has been designed to carry out the following radiological examinations.

zLED LAMP: Indicates current exposure activity (green at no operation, but turn into orange color
while x-raying)
zROTATING UNIT: moves to the proper position and turns around patient’s head during exposure.
zX-RAY SENSOR: used to detect a dose of X-Rays through the patient and convert it into
electrical signal.
zHORIZONTAL LIGHT LEVELER: adjusts horizontal light to the Frankfort line to position patient
in optimal way.
zON/OFF SWITCH: turns on and off the equipment.
zTEMPLE SUPPORT: support the patient so as to acquire optimal image in panoramic mode.
zEMERGENCY SWITCH: for safety reasons, this is used to terminate power to equipment by
pressing this button when a fault occurs. Its primary use is to protect humans and equipment
from a severe injuries and damages.
zTOUCH PAD SCREEN: allows the operator to control certain unit functions by touching screen.
It also displays the operating parameters and some texts messages.
zTELESCOPIC COLUMN: this part of column moves up and down to be adjusted to patient
height.
zSTATIONARY COLUMN: this part of column is fixed to the base.
1.3. Exposure switch
The exposure switch enables you to launch a radiological image acquisition via exposure button from
outside the X-Ray room. You press and hold the exposure switch button until the end of acquisition.
Premature release of exposure switch button interrupts acquisition.
